Why would I need to switch back to SQLite in order to synchronize data? Just because the magic promise of iCloud sync is broken right now does not mean I need to throw out Core Data. It just means I have to continue to roll my own data sync

It is not clear from the site if the data I give to AeroFS is encrypted at rest. There is a section called "End-to-end Security" that states: AeroFS uses AES-256 with 2048-bit RSA to create secure connections directly from one device

Maybe, but I can guarantee it won't get done until 10.9 comes out. EDIT: If you really want to see the level of effort for them to do this go buy OS X Server from the app store and dig around for ruby files ;-)

Pretty sure they sent something out where you would have had to take action months and months ago... There is a giant notice on the front page of the new textdrive.com re this now btw.

Yeah, they did this whole RSS needs replaced thing already and they called it Atom... I think syndication and walled gardens don't mix very well. EDIT: Not that that is what's actually going on here. I don't even know why I'm commenting on

So funny. The hilarious thing is some VCs actually talk like that in person too! Even when they are really just trying to say "Hey, computer guy, stand in line at the A&TT store for 125 bucks and hour and get me that new iPhone for me."
