It did, I am on my way to your house to murder everyone in a cold blood.

Nope. If you're seeing anything on the Windows GUI called "OneDrive", then you must have the update released today. I'm still waiting for the update to finish installing, but it definitely has always been called "SkyDrive" except on the web site.

And here I thought the use case for it was pretty obvious.

Good luck finding the change log from Microsoft.

I'm assuming they've updated all the "SkyDrive" stuff to "OneDrive", since they lost the trademark lawsuit on that one.

Well, why bother going to war when you can simply buy countries? It's cheaper.

In other words, the council of ministers has to get together quickly to make the data retention directive compatible with human rights.

You don't expect them to simply drop it because it's incompatible with something as negligible as human rights, do you?

Instead of stealing from everyone else, let the US do that work and then simply lift it from them.

Never would've thought that Russia would be teaching us a lesson in efficiency...

Kim, take your pills, will ya?

Well, the price of freedom is vigilance. If you don't watch over it, it will be taken from you.

Doesn't take those pesky evil Commies for that, your own government is plenty if you let it run amok unchecked.

The reason for this is that the "council of ministers" that created it is about as undemocratic as it can possibly get in the EU, the entity that struck it down was one of the few remaining and working democratic parts of it.

Draw your conclusions about the EU and its purpose, if you want.

Simple. Outlaw data retention, the way it used to be in the EU before the whole terrorist craze set in. Yes, it was actually ILLEGAL to retain data beyond what is absolutely the bare minimum necessary to do business (i.e. meter phone calls so you know what to charge) and tack some insane fines to it. Install a government position that has nothing better to do than follow up claims of misconduct. Then watch the telcos try to get at each other's throat by finding out how a competitor breaks that law, hoping to break their competitors' back with the fines.

I believe that once the various governments also strike the laws down.

Read the fine print. The EU did not disallow data retention. They only made it no longer mandatory. The various governments only lost their convenient "we have to, the evil, evil, EU forces us to" strawman. But since data retention is already in place pretty much everywhere, that straw man is no longer necessary.

What is now necessary is someone asking when and how governments will not only backpedal but outright outlaw data retention again. And yes, outlawing it will be necessary if you don't want it to happen. Why? Because else telcos will do it because it might be a convenient additional venue of income in case someone, let's say a government, needs some information...

tl;dr

Thankfully I don't live in the Peoples' Republic of San Fransisco. I get the feeling that there is almost no normal day-to-day activity that a person can engage in there without "likely breaking" some rule or ordinance or bureaucratic policy that the busybodies in government have decided to impose.
