Assembla is also having issues with some code repositories (including my private SVN) http://blog.assembla.com/assemblablog/tabid/12618/bid/44389/...

to me even creating proprietary client and apis for synching files and folders seems like making things needlessly complicated, when you can use rsync ad sftp (and fuse and sshfs) all of which rely on rock solid open standards. but I understand that Dropbox became so popular because it made files and folders synching accessible to everyone who could already use files and folders. as simple as that. in this perspective Receivd (I too think that the name sucks) could be a winner

I read that snapshots will be introduced in OSX Lion, I don't know if they're somehow related to ZFS snapshots, though the "we can do it better ourselves" sounds very microsofty. ZFS addition in OSX by Apple itself would have been greatly appreciated.

Always On would probably solve the slow startup issue better, but it's a premium feature.

really? with 15 millions units sold in 9 months and 90% market I wonder if editors still think that tablets can be a lucrative platform

EDIT: I'm not being sarcastic, but my opinion is not related to the technology. I'm talking about the potentials of tablets as a new media+ads distribution platform and that number doesn't seem so impressive to me, so far.

just curious, did you use the Facebook Oauth 2 Graph API for Kohana 3? I'm the author. [http://forum.kohanaframework.org/discussion/5772/]

you need to enable WebGL in about:flags in Chrome 8.0.552.224

I'm still not convinced, the argument is poorly reasoned. The PayPal button might just look oldish style on purpose because that would imply PayPal is the old player (thus more trustworthy) but it doesn't stand out more than the other buttons. Maybe it does look like a recommended choice just because it's the first one in the row.

why on earth is this rant at the top of HN home?

everything is shared under the ge.tt (domain's root name can't be a CNAME). you obviously think you won't need a content delivery network at scale, do you?

this is pretty much what Mediatemple.net already offers with Containers for their GS (shared hosting). They don't have PHP Containers but they do have MySql Containers that are automatically instantiated if traffic spikes. I think you could really make a difference by offering killer features on demand, like isolated memcached instances, redis, cassandra/mongoDB and RabbitMQ.
