Privacy Issue with Safari

Not trying to sound like a tin-foil-hat alarmist, but how serious is this issue and what is the true impact of this?

Leo Laporte was really ranting on this on TWiT.

G4 Imac 17" "sunflowers" issues

i will post more specs later, but i am having issues booting from Hard drive as it will not see it at all.

It simply won't find the internal hard drive. it does boot from the cd. Target disk mode shuts down the machine. no firmware password and i did reset everything via Open firmware including zapping the ram 3 times and replaced the Pram battery. ATA ribbon was replaced, still can't find the HDD when i boot from the bootable mac os x 10.2.

I can hear the hard drive spinning.

Any Firewire hard drive are also not seen. USB? not seen

Thanks

Issue with activation Lock

My father-in-law has had issue with his iPad that wouldn’t accept any passcodes. He tried erasing and restoring it through iTunes, but, in the process, can’t get past the “Activation Lock.” I suggested he log into iCloud.com and erase and remove the device. It didn’t seem to appear as a device.

Any suggestions from this point would be much appreciated.
