    Congress passes bill allowing warrantless forfeiture of private communications

    That's how I've always regarded the US (and NATO) war on terrorism.  On the international front, I see it as an attempt to remain at the top of the economic perch and prevent, or delay, the inevitable 'rise of the BRICS'.  If you look at most economic forecasts for 2040 the top 4 world...

    Digital Ocean gets $50 Million Credit Line

    To put this week's DO financing in perspective, that $50 million is pocket change compared to the $327 million financing OVH received this week for its "global cloud" ambitions .  OVH has now raised $500 million in the past 1 1/2 years (they raised $181 million early last year).  OVH IPO rumored...

    Should hosts provide a backup service?

    OVH.com includes the most space: 500GB of free FTP backup (their SoYouStart only includes 100GB). Hetzner includes 100GB (on servers priced over 49 euros).  Versio.nl includes 30GB free FTP backup space per 1GB cloudbox (so 4GB cloudbox=120GB free FTP space).  At the end of the day I use the...

    .net price change

    I'm mocking anyone who is dumb enough to pay $2.5K-$3.5K for a 1 year .rich domain registration or $500-$900 for a .luxury name. :P As far as .com/.net pricing, the current pricing is much lower than the $50 yearly that Network Solutions charged from 1995-1997 (and it only offered 2 year...

    The wholesale price of .com's is frozen at $7.85 under Verisign's current 6-year agreement with ICANN (expires on 11/30/2018) so it will be a few years before you see any .com price increases. The wholesale price Verisign charges registrars for .net's will rise to $6.79 (from the current $6.18)...

    MAID-SAFE (Massive Array of Internet Disks, etc.)

    That's because you're focusing on the Dropbox-esque storage part of the business.   The investors are probably looking at the potential of the apps/services side of the business. http://techcrunch.com/2014/07/23/maidsafe/ The one negative I see in the creation of this "alternate Internet" is...
