All I see is that users get a Dropbox app pre-installed, with 25GB of storage.

iCloud gives the user transparent storage of data, apps can use the same APIs on all iOS devices (where is the Android Dropbox API?) to store information there. Backups occur to it trivially.
Photos are automatically synced there. iTunes Match runs off it.

iTunes Match only takes up 2GB of storage for my 15,000 songs (~80GB), because the majority are in the iTunes music store, so this deal would already be worse for me.

iCloud wins because it is backed by the ecosystem. Where is the corresponding ecosystem in the Android world?

How does a bundled Dropbox app + storage bundle compete if it requires the user to manually do file management to ensure "cloud syncing" happens?
The example was largely web apis used for general consumption not private apis.

But yes, in terms of financial/gov't there can be other requirements. Lots of those systems are more enterprisy and may need that. However the same things can be done no matter the format, it still happens in EDI for instance over EDIHTTP/AS2 for POs and Invoices to Wal-mart everyday, it is not locked to XML and validated schemas only. JSON can be used there as well such as stripe.com does. The messaging is independent from a solid system really, I am just talking what is easier for large web consumption.
> I don't understand how attacking the guys who find secret information, analyse it, and sell it to businesses, governments, and the public promotes an open society.

I believe the issue is more to do with their information gathering practices (bribery and questionable links to individuals in government agencies are alleged in the article, amongst others) and the ethics of making money from that.

Health and codes are much like any business. The talent wants to maintain their edge. Many health companies, universities and even non profits find value in holding onto what they create. I understand we want everyone to be healthy but it will never work that way. So much cost and competition is involved that it will never be a "free" open source world. I would bet if Bill Gates and Warren Buffett each put 5 billion dollars toward find a cure or sharing code and paying creators there would be more people willing to share. Try asking Coca Cola for their secret recipe. Oh and tell them you won't pay them and will be using this recipe to make your own sodas to compete against them. I believe you will be waiting a long time for them to call with the info.
> I see no evidence that this incident has anything to do with the DMCA.

Other than the fact that false DMCA claims occur regularly on youtube. People end up blaming youtube. I guess that's not what happened here, but I don't think my assumption was unjustified. I've seen this happen often. The original post on the google support forum also refers to "false copyright claims", and barely mentions ads.

I understand your concern and it's really nice to know there's warm hearted people like you out there. But you're either a perfectionist, or have no contact or experience with anyone living in poverty. Keeping people who are impoverished out of trouble and giving them a job no matter how demeaning is the most important first step. Believe me, I live in St. Louis, We're tied with Detroit for having the most violent crime in the whole United States. Poor people living the ghetto are not all the "poor souls being taken advantage of" that you think they are. Those people need discipline, a job, and ANY kind of income. No one will hire them for a reason. They're not just well behaved people sitting around hoping for a miracle. They have serious behavioral problems that really hurt their ability to have ANY kind of job. And a mechanical Turk solution is the last hope for many of them.

Also, in your attempt to achieve "perfect" you will end up achieving nothing.

I understand your thought process and it DOES make sense but we are not living in a perfect world, we are living in capitalism. And if you don't pay poor people in America a few pennies to type in "cat" next to a picture of a cat, that business owner will go to another country and get them to type "cat" next to a picture of a cat.

In the perfect world this wouldn't be an issue, there would be a world wide minimum wage but there isn't. So we have to stick with what works, not what's perfect. Not what's right. Not what's correct. But what works at the moment. That's what the world was built on.

Is this a joke? Oh, lets go sign up for something where we put all of our information on a centralized website where governments can easily find it? Its not like those governments aren't going to actively try to either infiltrate or monitor us through this website. This seems like a horrible idea.
Those organizations lend to local "bankers" who lend out at higher rates to customers.

Payday shops charge reasonable fees per loan, the same fees that all vendors and governments charge for you hanging on to money they want from you. The problem is that payday loan customers get trapped into taking excessive numbers of loans, multiplying fees.
The "sweatshops" in China that you seem to criticize are the ones offering slightly better paid-jobs to the ones who have nothing at all, who live a miserable life in the countryside.

You seem to ignore that Everything derives from work. It gives the poor a way to earn a living, an activity to count on, some sense of being independent (instead of relying on welfare), and it enables them to save (even a little) money. It makes them responsible. It provides them experience that they can build on to become better at what they do and aspire for something a little more advanced. Most poor people who work do not stay at the bottom of their society for their whole life. Work is an effective social ladder, and where we stand right now is the downright proof of it.

"Exploitation" is only a matter of point of view. What you see as exploitation is not an universal, tangible truth for everyone in this world.
The "control" quote is completely out of context and the whole dialog between Friedman and Bhalla is something very different. This is not something I expect Wikileaks to do.

And yes, the StratCap thing is very, very bad.

I recently saw Android's voice recognition -- a feature that long preceded Siri -- described as the "Android's response to Siri". These headlines seldom have much basis in fact.

However I would point to two things on the Android side--

a) Preceding iCloud, again, has been a pervasive cloud-based backup system, including a third-party API - http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/backup.html I won't argue that it's the same thing, because it isn't, but it does provide the highest value functionality.

b) But you're not supposed to rely upon that anyways. As another poster mentioned, most of what you do in Android is already cloud based. Whether it's Google docs, or automatic uploads to Google+ or Flickr, etc.

pyreqauth - Python web auth decorator
Ever get sick of this pattern in your web app?

if <user exists>:
.. do something with user
else:
.. show error message or redirect user to login

over and over and over again in your routing handlers?

With a Bottle.py example: what if you could just tag your handler with a decorator like this:

@bottle.get('/magic/resource/<resource_id>')
@require_user # <-- this is the awesome magic
def user_account(user, resource_id): # <-- the 'user' arg is provided by the decorator
....# notice the user object is automagically available
....return "Hi %s - welcome to resource %s" % (user["name"], resource

Similar to tornado's web.authenticated decorator, but my version has some advantages:

1) framework agnostic
2) the decorator takes arguments to allow for customization
3) you can adapt my pattern to make your own "require resource" helper - (heck I can change my project to simply help with "require resource", but I hate generalizing code so much no one knows what to do with it anymore)

Put another way, it's a sustainable Wikileaks (sustainable because it is self-financing and can attract talent, albeit evidently not IT).

If you read about a New York Times investigative journalist bribing their way into Libya, clinking drinks with dictators, etc. to get a scoop on what they're doing, would that be evil? Perhaps to some, but I value the information. It's a bit sleazy on the field, sure, but given that the information is known by intelligence agencies the next question is whether it is known to the public.
The point isn't that Sonic is running gigabit networking to people's houses. The point is that it CAN BE DONE and on a reasonably profitable basis (I'm assuming that Sonic's management is fine with the cost outlays). Verizon was 80% of the way there and its management got cold feet.

Memo to Frontier Communications: THIS is how you do it. You can beat Verizon at their former game, get Sonic.net to show you how. (Or, even better, get Sonic.net to take over your FiOS operations in the Pacific Northwest...)
I cracked scrabble tonight | sourcecode
Does Dropbox on Android sync on per-file granularity? If so, how does this combo support things like calendar and contacts entries? Sure you can put each piece of data in its own file and watch the directory with inotify, but that seems to be very inefficient.
Dropbox can do what icloud does. Make one folder per app and hide file extensions in your os.

I think the two services are very alike, the only real difference in which platforms are supported with full sync. Dropbox chooses desktops, icloud anything apple.
I'm beginning to think he's either high, or a markov chain...
There's still the risk of the government getting their hands on the actual servers and getting the data from there. They managed to do it to Mega Upload, and they were based in HK/NZ. (Though obviously the cases are very different.) While it may sound tin-foil-hattish to say this, the US government has demonstrated through Assange's legal persecution that they see WikiLeaks as an enemy, and I can easily see them trying to infiltrate the servers or even seize them outright on some cooked-up charge. Not to mention all the other governments out there who would love to have a list of names of revolutionaries.
Every morning before I start work I write a brief paragraph on what I am planning to work on today, and what I need to achieve to call the day a success. Keeps me focused and acts as a trigger to immediately launch into work: "Right, I've got that out of the way, what's next?"
Hmm.. pretend this takes off and the quality of the meat is good. Would a vegan be inclined to eat this lab meat? Seems like most vegans that I talk to are mostly motivated by animal cruelty issues.

Just curious.
Friedman had an essay where he espoused on the differences between journalism and intelligence, namely, that the former needs hard facts while the latter tries to fill in holes with intuition and theory. It was a great read.

I don't see STRATFOR deriving much value from swinging its limited niche readership around à la Fox News. But their guiding premises are know your source, trust but verify, and think critically about everything.

I don't take STRATFOR intel at the same degree of confidence as say an Economist article or something printed in the Times. But I subscribed because they had a knack for casting light in places and on conflicts I wasn't aware of and by making speculative calls, sometimes right often off (e.g. Hamas will use the Egyptian revolution to gain a platform) but always thought provoking.

I am sure you realize, but by pointing to Google DNS, you are making your CDN edge request performance worse (in general).

CDNs using GeoDNS will assume your location is the google DNS servers[1], and will use the closest edge node. You would likely get better performance with some sites (those using big expensive CDNs) if you pointed to your ISP's recursors (or used unbound to be your own).

[1]: Google's DNS servers are likely anycast multi-homed as well, so it may not be quite as bad as if google only had a couple of centrally located servers. It would still likely skew your closest CDN Edge node a bit.

Not true - one fundamental thing iCloud does that none of the synced-file services can do is seamless conflict resolution and offering devs an interface to do the same.

If I create 10 Widgets in an app on my iPhone, and go to my iPad and create 10 more widgets, I expect that all 20 widgets be visible on both devices reasonably quickly.

On Dropbox this is still a highly manual process, on iCloud this is handled behind the scenes and app devs have access to a (relatively sane, if still currently buggy) interface to make this possible.

This is a huge use case, and part of why cloud sync is rarely as simple as downloading/uploading a file to a central source.

‘New rage' for students with autism: iPads
My sister is a vegetarian, and from what she's told me she started because of animal cruelty issues, but she kept going because (a) it's kind of a point of pride to maintain a lifestyle deliberately different from other people's, no matter how minor, and (b) after not eating meat for a while, the taste becomes strange and unpleasant. Like any 'new' food, she could reacclimatise to it if necessary, but it would require effort.

So I'm guessing that many existing vegans and vegetarians wouldn't eat lab-grown meat. It might well cut down on the number of people who become vegetarian in the first place, though.
I can saturate a 100mbps connection by booting a diskless computer. Why shouldn't our operating systems/environments be stored "in the cloud"? Why shouldn't I have more than one computer in my house?

Just because you can't think of things doesn't mean they don't exist :-) And once they do exist they'll seem obvious to you.

Remind me again why I can't have cameras all over my house and see them all at once while somewhere else. Why shouldn't I be able to speak to an SO wondering around the house doing chores while I'm in a hotel room?

All that aside, think of the games and entertainment that can be enabled. TVs are large enough to be almost life size now. Why shouldn't I be able to stand in front of one with a doctor or Amazon employee on the other side being able to examine each other, products, packaging etc in high resolution detail. (Note 1080 is not even close to high resolution for life size.)

It looks like an official project. From http://wikileaks.org/the-gifiles.html:
