Clearly like he says, he is only resigning to focus on a political career, and with dotcom's recent moves, that is unsurprising. IMO he will still be prodding the company forward. (Or whoever the idea person is behind MEGA)

They are forced to do that by law.

Australian website, there's nothing forcing them to do anything.

All the news corp (rupert murdoch owned) web sites in Australia do this now. That's one reason I don't visit them!

How's mega doing anyway? I haven't heard of it since the heavily hyped launch.

slynux2• 13 years ago

It is doing pretty well. Heard that at its current growth rate, it will reach 1 billion files uploaded by december.

Sync apps on android is already launched. iOS and desktop client coming soon. They have launched an SDK which helps developers build apps based on Mega storage layer.

I think by now everybody's already convinced that any javascript-based crypto is a joke.

They replied to that. Basically: "this was already in our FAQ, use the chrome plugin" https://mega.co.nz/#blog_21

This is a matter of phishing. Once somebody gets physical access, no matters what, security can be compromised. Mega offers security at server side while all other competitors facilitate spying through programs such as PRISM. Mega as a platform is very secure model. It is just that browser based physical access is prone to attacks. It a very know fact. Nothing to do with Mega's encryption or achitecture.

Kimble's going into politics? That's going to be fun, he's predestined for a job where he can bullshit as much as possible.

What a shame to have to surrender your baby to fight a group of bad actors causing a bureaucratic nightmare on the other side of the world.

brazzy• 13 years ago

Given that the guy himself has a track record of massive bad-actorness, it's not exactly a shame.

Assume that every single thing he does has the end goal of defrauding someone for his personal gain, and you won't be disappointed.

Yep, feels like one of those cases where you want everyone to lose somehow.

If you believe in equal protection under the law the fact that he's an asshole is irrelevant.
