Metro UI? Microsoft is an one of the MEGA investors? :)
I guess you can say that. There will be lots of MS bits in, once the site goes up :D

Not only that, torrents are totally sufficient when done properly.
Imagine "torrents ... done properly".
Imagine some kind of worldwide system, without a central server and dedicated administrator, distributed among a large, constantly changing conglomeration of servers that store and forward messages to one another.
In your dreams!

#54Check out the Limitations beneath the "How to become a Hosting Partner" page. > Unfortunately, we can't work with hosting companies based in the United States. Safe harbour for service providers via the Digital Millennium Copyright Act has been undermined by the Department of Justice with its novel criminal prosecution of Megaupload. It is not safe for cloud storage sites or any business allowing user-generated conte…
The DMCA Safe Harbor works fine for companies that aren't PURPOSEFULLY attempting to violate copyright. Just don't make the mistake of getting caught berating employees for taking down infringing material, don't get caught figuring out what users upload the best pirated material so you can reward them, don't get caught ordering employees to work on improving the quality of pirated files on your site, and you won't ha…
> and you won't have the problems Mr. Dotcom (who did all the aforementioned things) had
This is simply false. Legitimate non-infringing websites have been seized by the U.S. justice department without due process.[1] There is a reason to have due process and innocent until proven guilty; the reason is that otherwise power is abused by those with the power.

"Encryption in the browser" just screams "boondoggle" to me.
Finally someone with some brains!
That pesky browser thing never could do anything of value. Umm...Dah... What a joke! It's all "boondoggle"!
It unquestionably couldn't ever be used to build "apps" [1].
Certainly could never ever be fast enough [2].
Obviously cannot ever possibly utilise multiple cores [3].
Most definitely never ever could do 3D [4].
So, you're right, I doubt it will ever do crypto [5].
Those fools might even consider "Online Banking" or something crazy like that!
When will those stupid browser idiots learn?

#56Due to the potential for shutdown even outside of the U.S., will people feel safe hosting important files on the site?
Did anybody actually ever host "important files" on MegaUpload? I know people say they did, but did they actually? If they did that's just plain stupid.

Or, alternatively, do all that, without getting caught, to drive traffic, until you are a household name and get acquired by everyone's favorite advertising multinational. Then everyone'll forget your humble beginnings.
Youtube?

The first rule...
... is that it's 2012, digg is dead and nobody cares for the tired old memes that somehow outlasted it.
Wow, I can't believe I just read someone referencing a Usenet meme thinking it was originated in Digg.
September did never end uh?
