There's more than one cloud service, there's icloud and skydrive to name but a few.
basic economics state competition is better as it allows companies to improve their services in competition, which ultimatley is good for us the consumer

Isn't all business, hence why businessess get severly bollocked if they buy out competition in a plan to monopolize the market. Its illegal. Plus competition is healthy for the community otherwise there would be no sales, price cuts, bundle deals etc etc. Looking at your profile your 22/23 you should know all this by now surely

Its not personal, its just that I wondered how could somebody be stupid enough to not acknowledge that cloud-based service is a service, not some kind of unknown alien technology.
Saying that companies are trying to "steal" ideas by providing services is completely retarded.

Yusuo - Nope! I am way behind about Market business thing.

In the nicest possible way this is just common sense, i didn't take buisness or anything like that but your initial statement at your age makes you come across like a complete idiot

Would you rather have Dropbox be the most dominant cloud service? So that in a few years, they can inflate their prices, make you pay for features you don't need, & STILL you would use them, due to no similar alternative?

As someone else said, competition is healthy, especially for the end-users.

Why are you so upset about it?

To say Google is stealing from Dropbox really isn't accurate. That's like saying two oil companies are stealing from each other because they both happen to sell oil. They sell the same thing and compete with each other, sure, but neither truly invented that product; plus, that healthy competition can help keep the prices at reasonable levels for consumers.

    best buy is questionable... I can't get thru a line
  • TeconMoon @ TeconMoon:
    Pre-ordering was a bit nuts but I somehow got two orders lined up. Walmart went live early with a queue system that was actually extremely stable and I was able to snag one for shipping, no in-store pickup.

    Target.com went down immediately but the app was up for a little longer before going down and a couple of friends managed to snag pre-orders there, but it was $10 extra for release day shipping also with no local pickup.

    Don't give up on the Best Buy line! I waited for 35 minutes before the page automatically refreshed and asked me to re-login, I thought I was done for but after I re-logged back in it took me immediately to checkout with 10 minutes to complete the purchase.
  • TeconMoon @ TeconMoon:
    Best Buy local pickup is what I was going for so I'm glad it panned out. I had some rewards certificates waiting to be used and got some money back on my Best Buy credit card. Gotta get me that midnight pickup!
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    @TeconMoon walmart keeps going in and out of stock. I'm worried about ordering 1 more and having cancellation since I already ordered 1 tho
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    @TeconMoon I got booted out of the best buy line in one of my browsers dunno what's up with that
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    @TeconMoon what do you plan on doing with the 2nd unit? family member? resale?

    @Skelletonike bluesky claims to be decentralized like mastodon, problem is that for some reason they decided to create their own protocol for that, I've not seen a single other instance using it

    Yeah, 4chan was a bit sus... Probability of finding a trap when clicking on something was... Too high.
