easy come and easy go. in my case however, they never came in the first place :/

Ever heard of Flickr.? 1 tb for free. Dropbox out of blue has started to lose the territory , where it always been a king. Cloud Storage.

I meant we are living in the age where people're giving away 1tb here and there. Speaking of 1 tb, how exactly this would be different than, let's say the flickr iOS app itself.

I love dropbox because I have piled up 19gb free storage, because i am a whore and have plenty of email contacts, nevermind. But If I would ever need to shell out some money, hmmm well, I would definitely look for a company which is a reliable and cheaper and even better has its own data centers. you guessed it right. who I am referring to.

>$795 / year for a 5-user team. Additional users are $125 / user / year.

I love dropbox for personal use. But hey! ever heard of Google Drive and know their pricing?

haha! mind you i am an asian, it took me to search whole world wide web to find the meaning of this phrase!

And! yes consider yourself dead ;)

>with attitude like this it should not be a surprise to you that you are probably the type of employer whose employees will be using this type service. instead of whining about this service maybe you should be paying more attention to why your employees would be even tempted to use a site like this in the first place.

Got too many downvotes on the previous comment, so here is your chance again to downvote me. If I am a shitty employer, why the phuck is one sticking with me., you only want to flirt with me, that I shouldn't and can not allow. the point I had made was going totally against the employees which is under-stand-able, however I had raised my concern as an employer.

If an employer does not get the response for their offer, who is in the same area and industry and already has people in similar positions (which is likely going to be case, unless one is searching job in an other location than their current employer).

It won't be hard to assume, one of their employees is on the job hunt. So being anonymous might be little of no value, at the end of the day.

And If you are a CEO, you would know which of your employee he/she is, the moment you see the ad ;)

And as an employer, I do not get the idea, it would be more of pain in the asrse than of any 'real' value for employers. And I hate this service.

>Every day, top employers like Google, Apple, Facebook and others use services, tactics and tools like Poachbox to recruit top talent like you.

they use poachbox or a (any other) service like poachbox? If the later, what is the point of even mentioning it, except for deceiving users? If the former. wow! it's incredible.

so bottomline is, you are making shifting ass from one company to another easier, while one could save his/her ass. You know, I am an employer and I am already getting upset. ;)

aaa! downvote. no worries, Mr. Employee. If you ever grow up to become an employer, you would have less or more the same feelings ;)

Wedding of my friend.

Yep that's right.

How much profit does whatasapp make? Even God doesn't have any clue. Would they ever make profit, your guess is as good as mine.

The point you laid out is valid. However it's capitalism at its worst. By the way how many social apps get acquired for $1b or $19 billions ;) Most of them are a trap for VC, it's just few get lucky. It's a musical chair game but in the reverse order. Where your job is to put another VC in your place while you exit.

Seeing the comments below., the similar questions could be raised for a even bigger bandwidth beast. Youtube. And imgur is essentially the Youtube of images.

And speaking of profits, 140 Characters is barely generating any revenue despite it would be the only service of its size consuming the least (hosting) resources.

So I guess investors do not see the value in profits rather in popularity when it comes to crazy start-ups. Considering Instagram which got acquired for the ‘notorious’ 1 Billion. If we use the same mathematical formula, I guess imgur is worth at least 2x of Instagram.

This is tragic and I am baffled how flawed their argument is.

>Our strategic priority for Ubuntu is making the best converged operating system for phones, tablets, desktops and more

If Ubuntu One wasn't of their strategic priorities, then certainly they didn't have their priorities right.

what sort of devices it would support mobile or laptop?

> but they would never die

Challenge Accepted. God. /s

On a serious note, this could be charming, but still, most people die, not because they were too old., in fact a very few people hit their biological age limit which i guess is 100 ~ 130. They are still many challenges such as diseases, road accidents which are the No. 1 cause for death.

I am not saying what Apple did was right. Actually this is anti-competition and as a consumer I hate it. However I was making a totally different point, being a CEO of small enterprise myself, I just pointed out, that perhaps I would have the same restrictions in place, but it does not justify them.

I do not recall being addictive to any iOS game, except for Threes.

As a CEO, this situation is more than complex. There are times when you are working with 'partners' or anyone in the same industry. And you can not avoid collaborating with each other. Apple needed Google, as much as Google needed Apple.

However then there is the ugly part, since your partners are in the same industry, they are ultimately your competitors too. It's not about laws or specific rules. It's about human nature, you will be less pissed if someone hooked up with your Ex, but things could be entirely different, if your Ex is hooked up with one of your friends.

This is perhaps not a smart analogy, but it's somewhat relevant, remember a time when Eric was on Apple board, and then they went on to launch Android? It certainly leaves a bad taste in the mouth and incites a war.

That's a fair answer.

Question of the day!

I am not supporting Turkish Govt here, nor I have any concern with this country.

If a classified video is made live on a Turkish Video website, would US Govt block it or not?

or Do you approve of releasing classified videos or calls?., because according to my understanding regardless of the content of those videos or calls, they are in violation of 'privacy' and perhaps are classified too.?

I am just making sure, that I do not become a victim of double-standards here... :/

would you please lend me few bitcoins to see how things work. /s

My CC got hacked twice on the internet, every time I got my money back., it took 90 days but ultimately was credited. Can I expect it from Bitcoin?

Anyway 99.9% people do not have bitcoins to spend. I like it, however it is far from becoming a mainstream payment method., and perhaps never will sadly.

Yep I am pondering over it and making a dashboard right now, and can't believe myself for doing so, despite I have despised widgets. This is so nicely crafted and appealing to nerds.

phew! it's here finally. https://www.thedash.com/dashboard/TTmZcUR0cO

they say i am a naysayer so pardon me. but may I know who is your 'paid' audience? and ever wondered why don't people like Yahoo!? widgets! and you have built an entire startup around it. remember iGoogle? it nearly didn't work well either.

Apart from this, I am loving the website (UI/UX), and it's the only reason I am sticking around, and perhaps get addicted to it. :)

Okay!

thanks.

I should have made it clear, thanks for pointing it out. I guess this was in the wake of Google Cloud Platform pricing going down yesterday?

I am amazed noone had mentined Dreampress $20/month (includes two VPS files + mysql and uses varinsh cache) which they claim is equal to $500 wordpress.com VIP. I am using it, but I never had the privilege so far to hit more than 100 concurrent users.

Much expected after the GDrive prices got slashed.

Currently I am only using S3 for hosting PDF or other big size files which are downloadable by the public, since the bandwidth is pay-as-go.

However for regular storage, Dropbox/GDrive are still the primary choice, due to the fact, the data sync across devices, speaking of sync, what is holding Amazon back from a similar app for S3?

the bar is set by companies who have billions in funds. For an internet user it's pretty good, but for developers like me, who also has a day job (totally unrelated / offline) it's no longer a hobby-like thing, and in fact you can not have webdev as a hobby anymore due to very reasons.

Yes indeed.

this is where, Google should keep focusing than going after and pursuing things which other people can do better. I meant I am a die-hard Apple fanboi, But If they launch a search engine, I am definitely not gonna switch at once.

Google is essentially a web-services company a SaaS at its best. Stay focused on these services, and keeping bringing awesome things like this.

PS: I'd love if they would drop Google apps pricing too ($5/user). Please Larry/Brin? and let's put a final nail into office coffin.

Would you please leave my email alone. there are already 1000 and 1 distractions in my life over the internet.

by the way what is the price tag of Gmail. If I ever get rich I would buy it and let it be what it is. an email service.

MSDOS, is my first ever love. I still remember it's most of commands. dir on a lazy day and dir /w was a relief. then the windows 3.x came along. Jesus Christ! everything got changed, I have got mouse, no more CLI. simply create a folder and open them with a mouse click!. Then I totally forgot about it. Until now, when I started learning linux. I couldn't recall it what was it like, because CLI looked troublesome for me, (a mac user now) because I have not used it since the days of DOS, and few days later i figured, OMG! it's like DOS and it changed everything about the Linux shell for me. Instead of hating it, I started loving it and prefer to use it wherever I can just to please myself and recall my memories of the first love DOS!
