Quantum is shutting down sync'n'share biz Symform in July

Well it was fun while it lasted...

It was always a bit rubbish, but worked great as an essentially free 2nd tier backup. Suggesting DropBox, etc., as an alternative is nonsense though...that's like saying renting a car is an alternative to carsharing...My primary backup is Google, I'll look at S3 as my secondary now unless anyone else knows any other P2P backup solution?

P.S. I would have loved to have a fully open source option that ran off the bittorrent network, but the resiliency you would need for that would probably have needed higher than a 2:1 sharing ratio...

HTC 10: Flagship goes full Google – but the hardware's top notch

Re: I have a question....

Yep, I'll add my +1 on there no problems. I've had my Z2 for 18 months, and although other brands still seem to have caught up a bit, I am still regularly pointing out to workmates that you can get a smartphone that not only lasts a whole day, but will still be working the next day without an overnight charge...they usually believe me too as I'm pretty much constantly on my phone. The only time I need to charge it during the day is if I've fallen off the wagon and spent the evening on clash of clans...

One downside of the Z2 though, the sharp corners have eaten through pretty much every left trouser pocket I have. Having said that, considering I've had mobile phones for almost 20 years now, I think the Z2 was my best choice ever...although my old Sony Ericsson T39m would challenge it...

Epiphany hits Raspberry Pi founders, users

Re: interesting

The Pi easily streams and plays a youpube video, the thing it can't do very well is the UI around the video. Install XBMC on it, then use a different UI, e.g. Youpube on android, then just send the link to XBMC and you're laughing. The same goes for SoundCloud and a bunch of other services. :)
