That escalated quickly! This is a pretty strong digital political attacks to be lobbied against a tech company. I'm curious to see what response Dropbox will have.

#72Oh boy, yet another idiotic witch hunt. I'm sure the author uses only software written exclusively by people with purest intentions.
Re: Drop Dropbox
#73I was wondering how long this would take. Thoughtcrime is here. The quest for ideological purity is kneecapping our future. Shutting out half of the brainpool because they hold opposing views about disconnected topics is a recipe for societal failure.
Interesting, since Condoleeza Rice seems to be the very definition of Thought Police. Her quest for ideological purity resulted in hundreds of thousands of people being killed or maimed.

#74Unless a company is actively hurting people, I'm going to choose what I use based on the quality of the product, not on a board member's past. Maybe they determined that a hardened political voice would balance them out in the boardroom. Maybe they need someone there to play the devil's advocate in an industry that can be extraordinarily narcissistic.
And the only person they could find is one of the politicians behind the Iraq War? Heh.

See, that doesn't work. There's no such thing as a recall for some positions, and it's pretty hard to be responsible for someone who says they're going to do one thing and then does a completely different thing once they're beyond accountability.
>beyond accountability There is your problem, America. Fix it.

#76When looking to grow our board, we sought out a leader who could help us expand our global footprint. Condoleezza sure left a global footprint in the Middle East alright. Hate do this Dropbox, but time for me to move on. Edit: Suggestions for a Dropbox substitute?
OneDrive is phenomenal. I've been using it for the past year or so and it's been a breeze.
No Linux support.

With the new price point, Google Drive is really attractive
I do use Google Drive some, but the overall usability of it is a bit painful. They have a lot of nice features for sharing folders/files with others, but the organization of it's web UI is just painful to use at times.
For some reason I actually like it. What do you find painful?

#78Well I thought it would take longer for activists to start targeting companies in the wake of the Mozilla issue. I am actually surprised to see this happen so quickly. Its good to know that I am free to excersize my rights unless I want a job in the tech sector in which case I am required to conform to the social worldview of a selection of internet activists.

Hey actually the word footprint can also be understood as garbage.
> the impact on the environment of human activity in terms of pollution, damage to ecosystems, and the depletion of natural resources.
Then if you read it this way, the sentence sounds actually very appropriate!
