Technically, search is a feature too. Google seems to be doing alright. I think that was just Steve being steve, and saying whatever would scare the piss outta Dropbox to get them to sell. If it's such a bad Idea, why did jobs want to buy it?

How precisely does Dropbox plan to monetize storage to the same extent? > If it's such a bad Idea, why did jobs want to buy it? Strawman. Nobody is saying Dropbox is a bad idea. They are saying it is likely not an idea capable of being an "Apple or Google." Edit: also, a Hacker News reader should be well aware of talent acquisitions.
