Joe Kissell has completed the 6th edition of Take Control of iCloud, a status no other Take Control book has achieved. Joe tells us why the extra effort was worth it, since iCloud continues to evolve and be very important to the Apple ecosystem. From health data to why you miry have trouble deleting things from iCloud, Joe outlines its importance. He also discusses the iCloud KeyChain controversy, how it was blown out of proportion, and why all the inaccurate information that was circulating about it may have led you to a bad decision.

Jeff Butts was a nerd long before they got their revenge. He’s been voiding warranties since the early 1980s, when he took apart his uncle’s 286 to try coaxing a bit more power out of the Hercules graphics controller. Either by luck or skill (or both), nobody ever knows he’s voided their warranty because Jeff knows and lives by the most important rule: don’t get caught. These days, when Jeff’s not voiding warranties, he’s writing about voiding warranties. Follow him on Twitter or Facebook.
