I found it less usable than Subtle Patterns - reason is to switch to new background, I have to 'click', where as on Subtle Patterns I can scroll and see more backgrounds (given that it shows me only the rectangle of background instead of full site background).

If there is a way you can make it keyboard friendly, it would be great.

Re:Mega, the new MegaUpload, to launch on January 19 on Thursday January 17, 2013 @12:01PM (#5073626)
The whole Mega.com is in-your-face thing Kim is doing with authorities.

The real bone with megaupload was, authorities held megaupload responsible for what it hosted - and Megaupload could not deny what they had on their servers (copyrighted stuff) - so the responsibility and liability lied with megaupload and caused its downfall.

With mega.com - the game is, mega.com will claim we don't know what is on our servers (since its encrypted at browser) so we can't be held liable for it - and this will stick!

I read somewhere comment that - its doesn't matter how strong the encryption is for mega.com users - all mega.com need it as a shield from legal troubles.

Clever!

alright took the plunge! So far using the site, feel like the whole thing is 'in development' -not a finished product yet. Hopefully it will reach the critical mass soon.
