Technology on trial

I was reading one of Nikki's post about a person who lost her cell phone with some photos on them that she'd rather keep quiet. Nikki's post reminded me about a story I recently read on msnbc.com. A guy in Arkansas forget his phone at a McDonald's with some nude pictures of his wife on it. Those photos ended up online so now the guy is filing a lawsuit against McDonalds Corp. This will set an interesting precedent about technology and the expectation of privacy on our personal items.

What's your vote? Do we have a right to keep private items on personal devices such as cell phones?

I think you take a risk by putting such personal things on your cell phone. I don't think the gentleman should win this case. Some things should really be a little more sacred.
