He knows one of the hackers now. He talked to one of them via twitter, and told the hacker he wouldn't press charges if the hacker told him how the hacker did it. Which the hacker did.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

An "extremely rare anti-masturbation device" - Boing Boing
The rare 19th century item is made of copper and was designed to be worn by boys so they could not commit the 'sin'. Attached to a belt it would have encased the genitalia. The bizarre antique dates back to around 1880 and was used in Catholic France. It is being offered for sale on auction website eBay with a starting price of £750.
Seller David Burns, of Curious Science, says that during a quarter of a century dealing in medical curiosities he has never had one for sale... "This is the first example we have offered for sale in 24 years. The condition is excellent. Three and half inches top to base."

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Okay, this is where I have to admit maybe I don't understand the concept of The Cloud. Because...Carbonite is an online backup service, right? How is that not a "Cloud" thing? (Or are people specifically talking about Apple's iCloud?)
I also admit ignorance here. Isn't The Cloud online storage? And how is it different from iCloud?

"The Cloud" means anything stored anywhere online. iCloud is Apple's proprietary online backup system.
"The cloud" didn't get hacked. Apple and Amazon got hacked.
