I didn't know you write for the Onion.

Dude seriously put down the crack pipe. Dropbox accounts were accessible using any password for three hours. Shit happens - it's not good but shit happens. You can guarantee someone is getting fired and that it won't ever happen again.

"Dropbox is no longer interested in catering to anyone but businesses"

What are you talking about? Because they introduced a "team" feature means their not interested in personal consumers? Ya right, the >700k android phones that ship daily pre-installed with Dropbox and a complimentary 50G's of space would prove otherwise.

"Dropbox really doesn't give a damn about your privacy"

This has to be a joke, the company has probably one of the best pedigrees in the valley. But yes I understand your impulse to deduce a programmer's error to a room full of bad guys or "dicks".

Your whole blog is ragtime man and HN isn't the place for it. Here's a novel idea if you really think these guys are "dicks" then maybe you should have some "balls" and stop using their product.
