Lesson learned: even if you build an amazing product that basically is magic and way better than anything else out there, there will still be assholes bitching about how you're just not doing enough to meet their inflated expectations.
- ary 16y agoExactly. Here I am thinking Dropbox is awesome because it's both stable and just works. Who knew a product needed to have a steady stream of feature updates until it subsumed the very operating system it sat on top of.
- unicornporn 16y agoI have three computers running OS X. Currently Dropbox eats around 33% CPU on all of these modern machines. Am I the only one experiencing these problems?
- ary 16y agoDo you have processes that actively write to files in your Dropbox folder on a regular basis? Dropbox averages < 0.5% CPU on my Mac, but your mileage may vary. I do consider even that much somewhat odd considering that I'm a very occasional user.

- dpcan 16y agoAgreed. The poster is speaking for himself: "This is obviously not an optimal development practice - customers paying monthly are starved for new features during these dormant periods" Personally, I love that they are just leaving sh__ alone. It works. And amazingly well. Just don't touch it. I'm not starving for a dang thing.
