   Two observations: 1) Terrible name, really awful. Fi? I guess if it's "project" maybe this wasn't public-brand ready? 2) Why wouldn't someone choose the t-mobile unlimited plan vs this one? 3) For the refund policy,

   As an advertiser, you desperately want the ability to get info like this. But once you have it, you quickly realize how almost useless it is. What makes Google Adwords so powerful, is that a search query shows an intent to find a solution o

   I almost think it would be easier to let it do what this video shows, and build a giant metal net to just prevent it from sinking. Or is that harder than landing on a small platform?

   Not sure that comparing x-rays to fish oil is a good comparison of risk/reward. People (like myself) take fish oil for a variety of reasons, in my case to lower the risks of serious heart disease over the risks it might contribute to p

   Agree 100% If they had selective sync with storage at that price, it would be a game changer.

   FYI their FAQ says the sync is "old" and the new tool which will be updated is drop to upload only. Also, their file interface is far from modern. You can't drag and drop, right click to share, anything expected from all of t

   It seems many people here commenting haven't tried it. It has no sync! The online interface is awful! This is currently such a bad product that its not likely to be a threat to any existing solution. Try signing up and seeing it for yo

    For professional orchestras, a conductor is not a metronome, but an artistic director. So yes, they can add quite a lot.

    FYI this has been a big challenge even for music that has no copyright on it. Musopen.org has collected a great deal of music, and even for recordings we bought the rights to, they automatically challenge it! It works well to scare people f

    I'm surprised they removed 2tb and everything between 1 and 10tb? Was this to keep pricing cleaner?

    Another idea. Box goes public, DropBox goes public some months later. Both do well and grow large. Box wins business in the enterprise, DropBox wins in consumer. Everyone wins and are happy ever after. Until 7 years later when a startup kil

    I had many issues with Backblaze over several years. I found 1-2 times a year, when initiating a backup, the entire archive I had disappeared, as in, my computer would start to send all of my files all over again. This was very disconcertin

    FYI I left Backblaze for Crashplan for the same reasons. I believe Blackblaze also removes the backup after some number of hours, so if you don't download the backup by then, you're in big trouble. Crashplan also allows external a
