Re:How to terminate your worst enemy's Dropbox account for only $795 on Tuesday December 25, 2012 @08:07AM (#4965907)

I recently recycled my old notebook and took out the hard drive before recycling. Just a few days ago, I noticed videos getting added to the automatic camera uploads folder. These were not from my camera and strangely were of women undressing taken secretly outside windows. When I went to dropbox.com, it seemed that these files were added from the notebook I recycled.

I reached out to Dropbox support but got no response yet.

Ask HN: Dropbox and possibly stolen laptop

from the ask-hn dept.

I got a notification from Dropbox about increased space and noticed videos getting added to the "Camera Uploads" folder. When I checked the revision history of the files on dropbox.com, these files seemed to have been added from my laptop at home. I'm out of town and don't have access to that laptop.Dropbox also shows recent activity from the laptop with an AT&T U-Verse IP address. I don't...

Re:Cisco Acquires Enterprise Wi-Fi Startup Meraki For $1.2 Billion In ... on Monday November 19, 2012 @12:21AM (#4803029)

Cisco has the highest market share in wireless and it is Cisco's innovation in wireless that's keeping it ahead of Ruckus, Aruba and Motorola. Don't understand the conclusion that Cisco can't do "out of the box" R&D, at least in wireless.

Re:Fabled Google Drive Won't Be Another Dropbox on Thursday February 09, 2012 @03:20PM (#3572865)

No, Amazon Cloud Drive and Microsoft SkyDrive do not have shell integration. You need to upload using a browser.

Hopefully, Google Drive will be similar to Dropbox wherein, you will have a G-Drive directory in your hard disk. Microsoft has a similar product too - it is called Live Mesh.

Re:How U.S. Lost Out on iPhone Work on Saturday January 21, 2012 @03:15PM (#3494447)

Why doesn't Apple assemble iPhones here in the USA? It's all in the economics. Cheap skilled labor, fast and easy access to components, unregulated work conditions - none of this is possible in the USA.

A long article that does little to provide any insight into how we can solve this problem.

The showman, the leader, the visionary. Get well soon, Steve. We will miss you.

Is it possible that the new product announced during the Fall event is actually a 7-inch retina display iPad? Apple might find it expensive to build a 9.7-inch retina display and that could explain the $3billion+ investment that Apple has put in (possibly for the 7-inch retina display screens). Yes, Steve Jobs did say that 7-inch tablets are DOA but it was the same Steve who said Apple doesn't see e-books as a big market.
