Does Forbes.com have a print URL? I couldn't find one (did find a print.css which does almost nothing to optimize for printing), and I'd rather not encourage their splitting the article onto 4 separate pages by clicking through.
(I understand why web publishers split pages, but you can take it too far.)

How many people would sit in front of Steve Jobs, refuse to a hundreds of millions acquisition offer, just before Apple enters their market. You got to admire Houston. He might reach the moon.

http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=12498 "more pertinent is the fact that none of the integrations we do with the Finder are actually supported by Apple. this means that it takes significant reverse engineering of the Finder to make icon overlays/contextual menu items to work. Apple completely removed support for contextual menu items in SL (it's possible to have right click options, but it's not possible to have…
I had no idea installing Dropbox meant they were modifying the Finder. Why isn't there an option to disable this?
Jobs never changed his interpretation of things. He did in fact feel cloud storage was a feature and not a product, and that's exactly what iCloud is. For Apple it's a feature that will hopefully tie people in to their iOS devices. And with the likelihood that over time they will offer greater amounts of storage for free or a minimum payment, that's not good for Dropbox. I like Dropbox, I use it almost daily. But so…
The upside for dropbox is you commenting here that you are using them and that their free tier is usable, so you are effectively a part of their marketing arm.
If you really get utility out of dropbox then it is in your best interest that they continue to exist. Sooner or later that might translate into you pulling your wallet.
Freemium offerings are predicated on statistics and dropbox seems to be doing just fine in spite of the freeloading nature of some of their customers.

I'd be interested to know the meaning of the sentence. How do you hack a file system to display a logo?

As others have said, it's the icons in finder.
"Hacking the filesystem" makes it sound more drastic than it is, they have worked out how to bend the extensive HFS+ metadata system to their will. They are not monkeying around with the storage of the actual data, that would be crazy.
"Jobs had been tracking a young software developer named Drew Houston, who blasted his way onto Apple’s radar screen when he reverse-engineered Apple’s file system so that his startup’s logo, an unfolding box, appeared elegantly tucked inside. Not even an Apple SWAT team had been able to do that." Can anyone throw more context around this hack. Technical challenges to accomplish this will be bonus.

Note: 9-digit is less than one billion. Nothing to sneeze at, though. ;-)
