"Apple store Artist" gets raided.


The US Secret Service has raided the home of an artist who collected images from webcams in a New York Apple store.

Kyle McDonald is said to have installed software that photographed people looking at laptops then uploaded the pictures to a website.
Mr McDonald said he had obtained permission from a security guard to take photos inside the store.
Apple declined to comment. However, the Secret Service confirmed that its electronic crime division was involved.
Writing on Twitter, Mr McDonald said: "@secretservice just stopped by to investigate [web address removed] and took my laptop. Please assume they're reading any e-mails you send me."
No arrests had been made in the case as of 8 July.
