TheSwede75 | 15 years ago | on: Accidental Find May Lead to a Cure For Baldness

I can't help but not care about this. Sure it's a fun finding, but WHY is baldness considered something that is so badly in need of a 'cure'?

Of course I do understand it from a purely capitalistic viewpoint in that a 'cure' would no doubt be worth a ton of money but seriously. What's so bad about baldness?

Sometimes you really piss me off Humanity!

Not for long I would bet.

S3 is a great service don't get me wrong. But for relatively low transaction data like backup and sync not only is the pricing high but Dropbox also have a vested interest that as they grow they do not depend on a 3rd party for what is no doubt the largest single cost of providing their service.

Not only is it not a surprise but I think Amazon.com are also well aware that Dropbox is likely developing their own storage back-end to move away from S3.

Having played my fair share of COD, MW2 and Black Ops I would unfortunately say that the 'Make a friend outside of the US' vs. 'Screw you towel-head' ratio in general does NOT provide a base for improved foreign relations or 'bridge building'.

Glad that it does happen though.

Do we really need any further evidence of the desperation and general incompetence of the entertainment industry.

Never have I seen an entire industry act so horribly wrong to technological advances as the music industry in the face of Internet.
