Facebook Buys a Private File Sharing Service

angry tapir writes "Facebook has purchased most of drop.io, an online content-sharing service, but the social-networking giant sounds more interested in acquiring the company's developers than its technology. Drop.io is a service that lets users create a 'drop' where they can share documents, videos and other digital content. The user can set a time for how long the drop will exist, decide who can view the content, set permissions for who can alter the content and share content in a variety of ways, including on Facebook."

And Steve Ballmer always acquires companies for the office equipment, rather than the people or the imaginary property.

Of course. By explicitly mentioning "supply of ammo" that the post you replied to used in a subtle way, you're explaining the joke by overtly alluding to the time he said "I'm going to fucking kill Google" and threw a chair. Were it not for your explanation, people would totally not have gotten the reference since "office supplies" is far too vague when mentioned along with Steve Ballmer.
