• Website Impersonating a Desktop Environment

  Sandstorm really had this kind of feeling.

• Ask HN: Experience using your user's Google Drive instead of a database?

• Ask HN: WordPress vs. Django/Flask?

  I did read from somewhere, that with Wordpress SEO plugins etc some website got to top of search results.

• Now that Google Drive is starting to limit, what's your migration plan?

  Alright. Mind if I check with you a couple weeks from now to see how this turns out for you? I've never heard of box.com. I'm checking out their website now. Source: 10 months ago

• What is everyone’s opinion on these demos getting leaked?

  You would be surprised how stupid Label employees can be, they even give stuff that is "confidential" to unpaid interns to post on their internal pages like box.com or their disco.ac pages.

• Copy of my laptop on my desktop

  I often use dropbox, box.com or google drive for files/folders I want the share between my Ubuntu laptop and server, I also do the same with a local server drive - the cloud services are handy if I'm not at home and need to access something. Source: 11 months ago
