Comcast does very heavy packet shaping, so things like speedtest.net look great but everything else is "shaped" so you don't actually get what you expect or pay for.

Submission + - U.S., China Face Mutually Assured Destruction In Cyber War (threatpost.com)
chicksdaddy writes: "A panel of security and policy experts speaking at the RSA Conference in San Francisco on Wednesday said that, despite dire warnings about the information warfare capabilities of China and other developing nations, the risk of an all-out cyber war is remote, and that the U.S. still holds many of the cards.
Rather than trying to deliver a knock-out cyber war capability, the U.S. should embrace the Cold War notions of containment and mutually assured destruction with advanced nations like China and Russia. Tried and true methods to win security from cyber attacks include international diplomacy, multilateral agreements that clarify the parameters for peaceful and hostile cyber actions and — of course — a strong offensive capability."

We use Box for 300 people in 8 countries and I use Dropbox and Skyfile for personal file storage and sharing. There is a place for Cloud storage in corporate IT since the end users are using these services on mobile devices already. The author is obviously out of touch with current CIO initiatives, I talk to these guys everyday and most are looking to use cloud services for file storage and sharing.
Comment Pirating File Sharing vs File Sharing sites (Score 2) 336
There is a big difference between file sharing sites that are making money off file sharing services used primarily to share copyrighted materials
and other file sharing sites like box.com, Dropbox, Skyfile.co, DropIr and SugarSync. There is a place for file sharing sites and Affilate programs seem to be the key
indicator of a legitimate business site or a pirate haven.
All these legitimate file sharing sites have a good system for dealing with copyright content that ends up on their sites, the pirate sites do not take it down because they are making money off it. So we don't need SOPA or PIPA they system works today, pirating sites are taken down seems like every week.

So at Skyfile we have seen a huge amount of US users since January 19th, not sure that many users that use File sharing sites like ours for legal sharing needed to go outside of the US to do this.
Comment what's the difference with legitimate sites?? (Score 1) 185
so what is the difference between "legitimate" sites like Dropbox, Skyfile, Box and sites like Megaupload and Filesonic; they all work the same way upload a file and share it with people. Mediafire is no different than Filesonic really is it?
