Engineering the Cloud

There's no doubt the cloud is the future. What form that takes is anyone's guess. I love what Apple is doing with iCloud, even if it's taking forever to slowly roll out. My best guess at this point is even after the roll out is more complete, I'll still be using Dropbox. I love Dropbox.

There's a great interview on Technology Review with the founder of Dropbox, Drew Houston.

I think they've demonstrated that they fundamentally care about making the Apple experience really good, but they don't pay nearly the same attention to other platforms. Even if you're an Apple user, what happens when you need to share with someone who has an Android phone or you have to work with someone who has a Windows PC?
