Tara of Research Buzz tagged me, and yeah: Why I'm very much not a fan of dynamically inferred type languages, even though the whipupitude is awesome: iCloud allegedly locked out a user over her last name
iCloud has had the occasional service issue, but its latest problem appears to be highly... specific. Actor and author Rachel True claims iCloud has effectively locked her out of her account due to the way her last name was written. Reportedly, her Mac thought lower-case "true" was a Boolean (true or false) flag, leading the iCloud software on the computer to seize up. The problem has persisted for over six months, she said.
