This actually happened. The site's unavailable now.


It does not. Further down the page, they link to a document [1] that states that they would be required to report NSRs and law enforcement requests (combined) in ranges of 1,000, if they wanted to include the NSRs.

10 articles per month, yeah.


Wrong thread?


Whoops! Very sorry about this.


iCloud's free* now, actually. It became a free service when they transitioned away from the MobileMe branding.

* You need a Mac or iOS device to join, though. And you can pay for additional storage if you want ($20, $40, or $100 per year), but that's not necessary.


Free for a year. If you register it from an iDevice or some hardware bought from Apple.

And then next year to keep iCloud "free", you need to buy more overpriced goods from Apple.


Oh OK. Hey, just out of curiosity, could you link me to the page that lists the iCloud pricing scheme?


Well. What do you know? Maybe they've actually, for once in their lives, created a product not exclusively designed to suck money out of your wallet. (1)

Must have been a pretty recent change though.

I think you've lost your credibility on Apple's design goals, sorry.


100% false. Always free unless you pay for additional storage.


The Twitter API exposes a user's ID. Some Twitter clients (like Tweetbot) show this information. You can use http://mytwitterid.com/ to find yours.


Or just view source on twitter.com (after logging in) and search for the first instance of "data-user-id"


You're not the only one - I also initially thought this was going to be about a LinkedIn employee quitting.


When I was in tenth grade I'd just use my dad's credit card.


FWIW, they were charging $3/package for their initial launch at UWaterloo, and people were actually paying for it. You're right - probably not enough people for it to be feasible, but yeah, even some of us ('poor' students) were paying for it.


$29 is a small price to pay to increase your productivity.


How do I know it will? I was turned off by the lack of a trial.
