If you look at the video you'll see the mouse being used. I haven't tried the software so I don't know if that's the only way it can be used (the site seems to imply otherwise), so I'd reserve judgement.

So the first thing about Google Apps is that you still need to back it up. Because it's (mostly) pretty easy to use it's easy to fall into the trap that it does everything right first time and that your data is safe when you make

The problem is that your argument is based on false equivalence. The counterpoint is the classic trade-off between usability and security. I would (as would many) argue that charges against the Cryptocat team of poor cryptographic implement
