Verizon? Depending on what’s announced next week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas Everyone is overlooking the Thunderbolt. I have had 2 Droids by them and will sleep in the parking lot if they release this. Screw the iLame..err...iPhone.

“Drop Box” certainly looks interesting. Does anyone have any comments about it or similar online services?

Drop Box takes a lot of maintenance. Free, but up to you to keep it up to date.

I always doubt the Times; but this looks thought-out. If the topic doesn't have a political angle yet, I usually find their science writers to be very good. Their reliability is like Wikipedia is, it's OK if the topic is aploitical. Happy New Year!

Decent enough article; it’s tough to work in liberal bias when conveying the existence of various Web 2.0 technologies and processes to an uninformed audience.
That said, the recommendation of installing antivirus apps on a Mac is absurd for a variety of reasons, but particularly absurd in an article clearly written for Windows users.

Huh? Dropbox requires little to no maintenance. You drag files into a folder to upload to Dropbox, and you drag files out of a folder (or simply delete them in the folder) to remove them from Dropbox’s servers. Application updates are relatively rare, and your Dropbox folder only becomes as cluttered as you allow.

GET A SMARTPHONE, then move your household and begin living in a semi-urban area that has the right number “G-coverage” so that you can actually use said smartphone?

Ya, regardless of how I feel about the NYT, these are decent suggestions.
I use flickr, and Google docs fairly extensively, but I have not yet jumped on the dropbox bandwagon. I'll take a look.

I'm impressed. They even had a 64-bit RPM for Fedora that integrates it with Nautilus. Looks like I can do it all via CLI so that I can kick it off with a cron job if desired.

Sounds like it is a convenient way to share files w/out the hassle of emailing them. Especially larger files.
