I think Zed has found a great place to call home as I just realized he's created his own brand with LxTHW. I can envision LxTHW having a bright future with a lot of great topics aw…

"Trusted and Dependable" and "Bank grade AES-256 bit encryption" Does that mean client-side encryption yet? Businesses are expected to use this without it? Any comments from Dropbo…

Am I the only one who's never heard of Klout until now? To me, they've failed at their own service. So for an individual, Klout just reaffirms one's ego and then rewards with speci…

Truecrypt is not an option for the majority of users. You've gone from a slick user experience to one of..."Why not just keep things on my USB stick again?" These are solved proble…

Yes it does. The problem is explaining the purpose of Truecrypt and it's use to the audience of those who read mainstream press articles such as written by Pogue. If the incorporat…

Must be a Manhattan thing. Life moves fast there huh?
