Why isn't that referenced? E2E encryption eliminates this, assuming the user is not an idiot.
A patent only matters if those who you are trying to protect against are under (or cave or submit) to the jurisdiction of the region in which the patent is held. Unless you file a patent in every single industrialized nation for something as significant as this, and the idea is to make money, the better option is to keep it a trade secret so you don't need to disclose any details that those outside of the jurisdiction of the patent don't have the details handed to them.
It's pronounced "nookular".

damn, no mod points...+1 Insightful and +5 Funny. You have to know Quebec language laws to get this. Unfortunately, some might mark it Troll/Flamebait
It's more likely that google is just more open and honest about how they use the information they have about you. They admit openly that the main reason for their success is their "marketing" ability. Customer/client information is a valuable commodity, and the marketers at any corporation you deal with would be fools to not monetize the information they manage to collect.
This is the same reason facebook pisses me off with their recent changes, but google+ doesn't really bother me.
I also suspect the newer UI APIs aren't fully implemented, so, perhaps... indeed only the old software actually works.
I know you are just guessing, but my counter-comment is: so they have caught up to the UI API from 10 years ago?
Why use 10 year old software to demo a "Windows replacement"? If a successful demo only works because it is old software, that somewhat speaks volumes.
This. A failed drive is a failed drive, regardless of who it comes from and whether the issue is known or not and publicly admitted.
Simple solution: real time (or updated hourly) traffic stats for the ISP backbone connection. Allow users unlimited use (unmetered) during the times when traffic is significantly less. As others have said, if the hardware is provisioned, then as long as it is not being taxed to the limit when you want to use it, then you shouldn't really be charged anything significant for using it.
Teksavvy does this on DSL in Canada.
Define useful...I don't think that word means what you think it means.
And yet, the single most basic thing you can do to protect your data gets overlooked by hundreds of millions of people, because it's just too burdensome to drag and drop from "My documents" to "My external drive".
And how many people that do use an external drive actually unplug it after the fact?

Ya'll hear about the geometer who went to the beach to catch some rays and became a tangent ?
