I agree. the US is very monopolistic. The only difference between Europe and USA is that we at least voted for our politics. You can't vote for economic forces like this. Hell, I hear they still use fax and checks in the US, and where paying by card still takes several seconds.
Being a Jottacloud customer for a long time, I really like their backup. Unlimited storage is 6$ per month. You can specify when to back up, and you can exclude subfolders from sync, and you can limit the bandwidth used.
I guess it's not very well known in the US, but it's been for several years in Europe. All servers are located in Norway.
You ate too much of your own cake. The migration to other services has begun. You might never recover from this. May it be a lesson for all other "free" services trying to make hasty profit.
I would really like a camera that starts recording when I experience something shocking or similar. I guess it's a way to detect if we go into some kind of temporary shock.
People have tried for so many years now, and I think we are seeing a trend here now. It's almost impossible to create a flying car that hoovers stable with the technology available today, tomorrow and I predict the same for the next 30 years. And even if they get them stable, the cars will be so dangerous concerning in-air malfunction that they would require a complete double set of engines and fuel and at least two pilots.
You do the math.
So many have tried. So many companies has invested and lost their money. Still people seem to think that this will come and they think of how much they could earn in patents etc if they are able to materialize a stable solution.
well it's because it's very easy to see when a smartphone starts recording. google glass can record everything without ANYBODY noticing. If there is some kind of indicator-light for recording, I'm sure it's not much hazzle to disable by either destroying it or patch it.
It's clearly surveillance without warning. In my country, you may only use surveillance cameras in areas clearly marked with CCTV-warnings. The same should count for Google Glass as well.
I think it's great we are living in a world where you can ask questions. Because, without questions - we would just have answers. And a question without an answer is just a statement.
Not that I support it, but it shouldn't be much problems to stop delivering to the IP range from this ISP for french newspapers. It's really a short-lived story for the customers of this ISP.
Meraki is all about what I expected Networking to be in the future. Now Cisco buys it.
I fear Cisco saw the increasing amount of customers asking why they don't do like Meraki. Hell, their battle cards even did not list anything negative about Meraki except that Meraki only had about one hundre employees.
Well, now Cisco will probably freeze the features and start moving in their own technology as new features, where you have to buy large complex and expensive licenses for getting it all.
Meraki was really starting to taking off, and Cisco got rid of a future competitor for lousy billion.
We all know Apple, Microsoft etc try to keep you on their platform by providing exclusive services that only works on their platform. By patenting these solutions, they effectively block competing platforms from their services. E.g. they can block Skydrive-integration on Linux if they want to. I find it kinda strange that they are allowed to do this, as one might say that "-hey, why can't I access this service from an Apple computer?". A question comes to me, why is this allowed? Patents was about having monopoly on an invention that gives exclusive right on selling this invention. So, if I program an OS and would like to connect to some of the services from Microsoft, they are allowed to have exclusive rights on selling me this service. But this is not happening, they refuse to sell the service to us, because they say they only license the usage to partners whom they choose.
Well. This is where patents have derailed from the ideal runway. The thought of patents was never about exclusive rights on refusing to sell an idea. It was the other way around.
Patents should not be about blocking competitors from your platform. It's like requiring Nike shoes only on some sports courts.
So, ideally in my world, if e.g. Microsoft cannot make a fully compatible Android-client for a service they provide, then you are no longer breaking if you program a competing solution.

It's always lurking there, waiting for Facebook to fail. Please never stop using it, as it is the only real threat to Facebook.
Is Windows XP affected?
thanks! immediately replaced adblock plus

I posted this on the other 20TB backup article, however I see I got downrated. But I feel this is in it's right place at this article too :)
Cheers.

Unlimited is limited to one computer.

I sure hope so. Or at least the iPad.

What's next? The next Star Wars movie becoming a comedy? Oh wait..
If you thought that something is new:
The Start button will just launch the Win8-start screen, a screen full of annoyance.

Agree! Unfortunately smell is gas that may be hard to track down as it floats depending upon a lot of factors like wind etc. :-)
How about government regulations on the use of Google Glass by civilians?
I agree on this one. It's okay to film with a camera on your head but not on a radio-controlled plane?

We're still missing Kindle-like screens that can display text without beaming your eyes with light.

it's not fair to blame the administrators. you should blame the people who hired them.
