Does btsync have file rollback like Dropbox does? That's saved my ass so many times.

This is great guys, good to see more people bringing PaaS-like workflow without the baggage. We've been working in this space with Juju ( http://juju.ubuntu.com ) but we're using standard LXC for containers. Using LXC al

I met Seth at a Linux conference once, he was a really friendly guy and well liked, such a shame.

I was a Boxee Box early adopter and got it as soon as it came out. I think what crippled it is that what you got with the Box wasn't anything like Boxee was before, it was an entirely new Beta UI, and then right around the same time th

They likely don't care about one off people who fire up instances via the web UI, they want the kind of company that will ask for hundreds and thousands over their API.

Yeah I was happy to see a nicely priced Jetta Hybrid; but for some reason it's a gas/electric. I would have thought they'd do diesel/electric since they already do a a Jetta TDI.

We're working on solving these sorts of devops problems in Ubuntu with Juju: https://juju.ubuntu.com/ As an alternative approach would be that a Juju charm (script) would handle the initial deployment of a stock Ubuntu AMI and the customi

Juju person here. Docker would be a nice enhancement for Juju. Currently we use LXC in our older version (.7 in python) for a local provider to deploy containers on your local laptop. The idea is being thrown around to instead use Docker co

Since this thread will likely turn into people asking about Cloudfront performance, does anyone have any real-world experience with CloudFront vs. Rackspace with Akamai CDN? On paper the Rackspace one looks like a great performance/price al

Dropbox also has photos now, when you log in on the bottom left there was an opt-in for the beta testing. It's really nice compared to Picasa/G+'s "2 different photo services but not really" design.

It's not just filesync, but layman's backup too. It's nice to be able to rollback/undelete files. Plus everyone is forgetting that Dropbox snagged Audiogalaxy a while back, so I'm expecting to be able to stream music back to myself from my

It's hard to break the mental model of subsidies. As an example: Last month my wife dropped her old phone and it broke, and I got her a Nexus 4 for $299 and we signed up for simplemobile (which is a Tmobile MVNO) for about $90 a month for t
