Lily Allen sues Apple over hacked Macbook

Day in a life of a pop star

What you need to know about cloud backup

Lily Allen, the British pop star, has issued a writ against Apple, in an attempt to find out who hacked into her Macbook.

So says the Sun, which reports the pregnant songstress (25) is taking action after Apple told her it would co-operate only if ordered to by a court.

We doubt that she will get anywhere, but you never know - the case could uncover some new Mac security flaw.

In the meantime we applaud Allen's splendidly eccentric action. See, this is what you can do when you are pissed off and rich...

Cloud based data management

RE: rich and unfathomably stupid

Isn't that Apple's main demographic?

If she used Linux she wouldn't have written any music, she would be still trying to figure out Vi and how to edit that config file in /etc to get the soundcard and MIDI working.

Actually, that might not be a bad thing.

That should read

'pissed off, rich and unfathomably stupid.'
