How Dropbox Hacks Your Mac

It's interesting because at some level, particularly with closed source products trusting the company developing the product is important. Apple have made some effort to stand up for the privacy of their users. Dropbox on the other hand have board members who support and have authorized warrantless wiretaps:

> board members

Plural? Who else?

There's a difference between bringing in a single famous person and the rest of the board agreeing with them on certain issues.

I personally think their privacy stance was mostly to protect their own interests rather than any concern for the common man, but they were able to spin it really well and get great publicity as usual. It hurts me to say this as an owner of 2 MBPs and a mac pro which I love, but Apple is not on our side and it's painfully obvious.
