Given the security problems DropBox has had, no sane person let alone corporation would use it for anything remotely important.

Switch to a better service. Like Wuala. It actually encrypts your files on your device before sending them off to their storage. Wuala does not have access to your password so you're likely as safe as you can be with a service like that.

Simply put, yes.
My HTC Desire Z plays the 720p videos it records beautifully on a big TV. No reason why similar things can't be achieved with 1080p.

Yes, someone could in theory use the leaked SSNs to do something malicious but that's extremely difficult.
Oh please. All they have to do is sign up for an e-commerce website, put in the SSN number and they can order stuff with a bill and not have to pay for any of it.
Signing up for a mobile number with that information is very easy and once you have one of those, you can take out small loans from some of the shadier companies. Sure, it's not world ending stuff, but it'll be a pain in the ass for anyone to deal with.
Google buys Motorola Mobility->

Intriguing as Motorola Mobility owns all the old Motorola IPR, so perhaps they are buying up ammunition for the Android lawsuits given their recent failure to obtain the Nortel IPR portfolio."

You can, but when the feature was introduced it was enabled by default without asking the user for permission. The Germans think it should have been an opt-in feature, not an opt-out one.

I view my bookshelf and the books in it as an decorative element that also happens to serve a useful function. The room just wouldn't be the same without it. Also, I just like reading books in the paper form. Amazon can't come in and erase them if they find something displeasing.

Just remember HTC is already paying Microsoft a few dollars for every Android device they sell. So sad the market is heading to a direction where you can't buy a smart phone without money going to an company you don't want to support.

As long as you know the pass phrase used for the encryption you can stick a LiveCD in and mount the encrypted partitions. The way it's done depends on what was used for the encryption. Google is your friend for finding a relevant HOWTO ;)
