why cant i read the article Hacking the Cloud online? i want to send it to windows it pro magazine and see what they have to say about it...
I agree with ladjam. What trust do I have that I will be able to access information online when you are editing it differently than the magazine. I just want to email the article to a friend. Now I will have to drive to their town to make sure that they get it. Just for your reference - I have been a subscriber for 20+ years and I own an ipad. If you don't email me about my concerns, I will probably make arrangements with my local doctor to read his copy and cancel my subscription.
