Presumably for Our own Good!™ Why not continue this good gesture by at lest giving said "Owners" the ability to set the number of failed logins or, the self-destruction of said "Data" when a Perp... I mean 'Ol Bill decides to take give your Data a good shagging?

"Sorry officer I've forgot my login details, here let me reset my password...

There problem somewhat solved... Hopefully iCloud will respect my privacy enough not to plaster everything onto itself... (I may never find out, as I'm a dedicated Fandroid...), But, I will say that Google+ tryed to pull that kinda shit on me once.

In any case I only had to catch it in the Act only Once! And, now I don't let the Google+ App near any of my Devices. And it APK gets removed as soon as I've got done rooting the little bugger!

At which point I begin installing more useful things like AdAway....
