Just a little side note. I really wish people would give an overview of what their service is or does in press releases like this. Quite often, I see 'Facebook bought x' or 'Dropbox bought y' and I click to see what it is, and if I would want to use it. More often than not, there's no little blurb that lets me know what their product even does.

Given that a 2br apartment is $8000/month in some places, yeah.

Am I the only one that immediately sees that as a sign of 'Maybe people should setup satellite offices and stop recruiting in the Valley due to costs'?

A bit of goodwill generation after the whole Condoleeza thing.

So did they dump the Bushevik war-pushing bitch or not?

Hackpad seems down at the moment. Wouldn't trust them with my documents.

Snarky comment aside, we've used them for many months and have had a fantastic experience on it. Great for collaboration is significantly better than Google docs/e-mails.
