I'd love to hear what exactly folks consider to be wrong with that.
Ben Newhouse's answer left quite a few questions open. How about poking him or Dropbox a bit more? For instance, competing products (OneDrive, Resilio Sync, etc.) provide similar functionality without placing SUID 'backdoors'. Given that OneDrive's client is distributed via the app store, I'd guess that it even uses OS X sandboxing.
What about asking a security expert (or perhaps Apple) to comment?
A good journalist doesn't just literally relay information, but provides context/interpretation.
(Of course, it's in TC's right to do this, but it doesn't add much to the conversation.)
- radicalbyte 10y agoI thought that Tech Crunch was "social blog"? So of course there won't be any real journalists there.
- tekacs 10y agoAll valid points, although perhaps it's more in their interest to publish soon/rapidly/without dedicating much effort to every post that they put out? What you're describing may be in line with what we expect from conventional journalists, but media put out starting at once a day is a different medium with different constraints, is it not? Don't the even faster media forms (intra-day news on TV, radio) have more people on board to help make that process happen quickly?
