Ubuntu One: Shutdown Notice
- giantrobothead 13y agoI confess I had no idea this even existed. And, thinking about that statement, that is probably part of the problem.
- eli 13y agoIf you installed desktop Ubuntu a few years ago, there was no way to miss it.
- giantrobothead 13y agoWell, there's the rub. I'm a Slackware guy, and have never installed Ubuntu.
- pearjuice 13y agoA few years ago every company and their pets thought "cloud" was the next big thing and introduced "cloud" storage one way or another. We slowly see dismantling of most of them because surprise, surprise it's not that easy to be a "cloud"-vendor. I guess hypes work after all.
- smoyer 13y agoIt's actually very easy to be a cloud vendor ... it's not easy to sell cloud services when you're competing with Amazon, Google and Rackspace (to name some of the bigger providers).
- smoyer 13y agoPreviously discussed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7515393 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7515393 Don't miss the couple hundred comments included with that post.
- jedicoffee 13y agoI still blame Unity.
- skj 13y agoRuh roh - Ubuntu discontinued a service. Ubuntu, why are you being evil all of a sudden?
- teacup50 13y agoI don't know why Ubuntu ever thought that their user base -- Linux users -- would want to tie up their personal data in a cloud service.
