   Something here I don't understand. First, the terms state that there are two kinds of governing laws: One for those using the service outside the US, and one for those from the US. This is the first time I see a supposedly non-US compa

   I wouldn't call it "whining ramblings". But I find it odd that this letter, dating back one month ago, emerges two years after the news of the lawsuit. What I would like to know: what happened between those two years?

    Interesting that they did not choose to support TLS 1.2 for SSL encryption, and that they added RC4-MD5 as one of their (few) supported ciphers. Certainly doesn't make me feel any warmer.
