At least one thing: Dropbox synchronizes its directory, meaning that every machine linked to your account has a local copy of the data stored there. Zumodrive keeps most things remote, unless you explicitly ask to have a local copy (seems to support some form of policies for which things should be local). In theory, then, Zumodrive lets you go beyond your disk capacity, but it's a bit too expensive to just offload hundreds of gigabytes.
Also, Zumodrive doesn't seem to have sharing like Dropbox does..?
Zumodrive actually supports sharing either by a public link or to a private email address. There is a share option in the right click context menu as well as on the web file browser.
though pg should have posted source link with his note, i dont think that even rediff.com is the copyright owner - to what i understand pg did it in the good faith to help HN readers and that's what it matters ...
all news headlines here are part of the press releases anyway - also there are HN readers who only read news here so its important for them to know the latest...
1- Determination is what kept me moving all a long. I could've easily forgot about it, years ago.
2- This is what'll be trying to do.
3- They don't want to leave? What if they want to force a change?
4- I have my day job that I need to pay for my project.
if they force for the change that you you disagree in totality then there is no other way then to quit and go on your own ... if you're busy with your day job then you need to find someone who is not that busy or who is available full-time for stock options
EDIT: somehow you have to make an agreement with your partners (if possible do it legally) that if they decide to quit or if your partnership is dissolved then IP (code) remains with you (because originally the idea was yours) and in the future they cant do something similar either, i dont know whether it is completely enforceable legally but i dont think if any company (say goolge or yahoo or MS) will let me pursue the idea on my own that was originally not mine - so in the same way you can have an agreement or contract with your partners too.
i dont understand why mike, icahn and other narrow minded people cant see the whole picture —- i remember michael dell once made similar comments about apple …. look what happened, today apple is much more valuable than dell … if micahel dell (who was an entrepreneur himself) can go wrong then who are these people who have never created anything as big as yahoo …. people should give yahoo and jerry&co. a break and let them run the company the way they want and if you’re not comfy then sell your stocks and run (like a mice) , u will still profit as stock prices has gone up in last 6 months.
What i understand is Yahoo has too many money making properties and it can still make more prop and money out of it … following is my questions to all greedy people:
1. please explain me why cant yahoo make money from the text based ad (where they are not that strong) by temporarily leasing it to google - isn’t it a smart move where you make money from both kind of ads (text and display) from the 2 best ad systems?
2. why did yahoo made deal only for north-american market and not for other markets which are much bigger than NA? do you think that jerry is stupid that he is keeping other lucrative market i.e BRIC (brazil, russia, china, india) with him? - cant u see how intelligent he is that he is may be trying to roll out his strategy in these markets and eventually make a strong position?
3. do you think that the whole board of directors of yahoo is stupid to support jerry?
4. dont you know that the biggest loser (monetarily) is jerry himself, and if he is taking risk and let go millions $$ (for short term) then there has to be something in his kitty (the strategy) that he dont want to disclose it right now?, and may be this is the reason why the board of directors are supporting him because they know this internal confidential strategy ... there is always something called trade-secret that you shouldn’t give away no matter how much pressure builds on you by stupid shareholders …
I think if anyone who disagrees with Jerry then they should either sell their stock (and run) OR buy more stock (get the majority) and kick him out - if u dont want to do either then stop making foolish judgments ... everyone is not greedy - there is something like loyalty and integrity and that counts at the end of the day and i think Jerry's loyalty and integrity towards Yahoo is unquestionable.
yahoo made a smart move - problem creators now have to calm down for a while - it will give some time to breath and move their strategy as a success ... kind of wait and watch.
as pg once said that if enough time and freedom is give to jerry yang to run the company the way he wants then he can prove his worth - i think the time has come that he proves himself and get back the reputation and business as earlier ... good luck to him.
