Dropbox's price problem has nothing to do with the price per GB. The problem is that the lowest non-free tier is a whopping 100GB. There is just no way I'm going to use anywhere close to 100GB. There is no way I'm going to use even a quarte

Have you tried to replicate it recently?

I tried to replicate the experiment and couldn't. In fact I got the opposite result, with the mouse taking twice as much time as the keyboard. I wonder if it is because of the increased pixel density.
