Dropbox Security Bug Made Passwords Optional For Four Hours. This morning a post on Pastebin outlined a serious security issue that was spotted at Dropbox: for a brief period of time, the service allowed users to log into accounts using any password.
In other words, you could log into someone’s account simply by typing in their email address. Given that many people entrust Dropbox with important data (one of the service’s selling points is its security), that’s a really big deal. We’ve now confirmed with Dropbox that the service did have this issue yesterday — Dropbox says that it began after a code push at 1:54 PM PDT and was fixed at 5:46 PM PDT (they had the fix live five minutes after they discovered it). With latest features, Box.net claims edge over SharePoint, Google Docs.
News By Eric Lai January 21, 2010 09:00 AM ET Computerworld - Just as Google Docs makes collaborating on documents via the Web easier than Microsoft Office does, Box.Net enables corporate workers to share documents and other files more easily and beyond firewalls than Microsoft SharePoint.
Box.net Expands Capacity And Services. Where the Cloud Touches Down: Simplifying Data Center Infrastructure Management Thursday, July 25, 2013 10:00 AM PT/1:00 PM ET In most data centers, DCIM rests on a shaky foundation of manual record keeping and scattered documentation.
OpManager replaces data center documentation with a single repository for data, QRCodes for asset tracking, accurate 3D mapping of asset locations, and a configuration management database (CMDB). In this webcast, sponsored by ManageEngine, you will see how a real-world datacenter mapping stored in racktables gets imported into OpManager, which then provides a 3D visualization of where assets actually are. You'll also see how the QR Code generator helps you make the link between real assets and the monitoring world, and how the layered CMDB provides a single point of view for all your configuration data.

Le service Box.net accueille Google Documents. Du prochain service iCloud à la nouvelle version de Windows Live Skydrive, les services de stockage en ligne n'en finissent plus de faire l'actualité et c'est désormais l'équipe de Box.net qui faire parler d'elle.
Lancée en 2005 et disponible en version française depuis le mois de septembre 2008, la société Box.net propose aux particuliers de bénéficier de 5 Go d'espace disque gratuitement avec plusieurs formules de souscription et quelques offres destinées aux usages professionnels. Free Online Storage Feature-by-Feature Comparison Chart. @alexgieg: You're comparing apples to oranges here.
Mozy is designed to be a file backup service, not a file archive service. Jungle Disk wants to charge you $0.15 per "GB-month" of storage, and $0.10 per GB of data uploaded. Meanwhile, Mozy Home offers unlimited backup for home users for a simple $4.95 per month rate, with discounts for longer sign-ups. Do the math: ($4.95/month)/($0.15/GB*month)= 33 GB Thus, Mozy gives you unlimited storage for a price/month that would only give you 33 GB under Jungle Disk. And that's not even counting Jungle Disk's $0.10/GB-upload charge!
I also note the $1.00/month "Jungle Disk Plus" service, which allows "Block-level file updates, allowing you to upload only the changed portions of large files". The point is, regular backups with Jungle Disk are *not* cheap. Mozy may not save the ugly vacation photos you already deleted months ago, but at least you won't be paying for their storage costs, either. Mozy Pro isn't tricking you with "unlimited" service. Box.net. The core of the service is based on sharing, collaborating, and working with files that are uploaded to Box.

Box.net réalise une levée de fonds de 48 millions de dollars.
Box.net se présente comme une alternative Saas à Sharepoint. Etonnante Silicon Valley !
C'est dans un hangar - aménagé en paradis pour geeks, avec open space, trottinettes pour se déplacer, salle de jeu, cafétéria intégrée... -, accolé au mythique magasin d'électronique Fry's de Palo-Alto, que LeMagIT et un groupe d'une dizaine de journalistes français ont été accueillis il y a un peu plus d'une semaine par Box.net, une start-up qui se présente comme une alternative à SharePoint dans les nuages.
Box.net n'est pas n'importe quelle start-up. La firme a déjà levé près de 70 M$ de financements et compte près de 5 millions d'utilisateurs. Les fonds qu'elle a levés ont été utilisés pour développer ses logiciels, mais aussi pour bâtir son infrastructure (aujourd'hui basée sur un datacenter principal dans la Silicon Valley et qui devrait prochainement être complété par un second datacenter dans l'Est des Etats-Unis).

Mobile, Huh? While talking about Cloud Computing, many pundits argue that it is just an natural evolution from the traditional time sharing era.
