I didn't really think about it before, but I now feel very uncomfortable that Dropbox has copies of my unencrypted files. I would feel much better if the files were encrypted before being synched. Is there a service that does this? I d

This kind of nasty reply puts me off writing blog entries, and really turns me off the industry as a whole. I am so disappointed, it's possible to be constructively critical; the snide remarks like 'I can't stop myself from l

I'm actually surprised at how many people in the comments want to immediately defend or explain away his comments. It's pretty clear he meant what he said, and is now on the back foot attempting to undo the damage he did. Why does
