the idea that “Google keeps buying up all these great companies…” is that a kind of “i am ideologically against software monopolies?”

then if dropbox, becomes the only software in its field, you’d be against them too?

or what does google’s “buying” something make it any less better? imagine a place to access *similarly to the ubuntuone/contacts idea* a whole set of online contents via a folder on your pc, getting nearly *hopefully* your multiple gmail gb’s allocated for each user, up from the 2g that dropbox gives you,

nevertheless, i must agree on an idealogical perspective. i like choice, but i would choose perfectly efficient software over my choice to choose an “ok but incomplete one”

live long and prosper.

Google keeps buying up all of these great companies... which I backed at first. But now that they are in every aspect of many of our lives, we're left open to their policy changes. If they decide to share all of our personal information with someone, maybe the government under the guise of fighting terrorism, we're doomed. Dropbox is fantastic. I love it. It has changed how I work. Google has been great for years, but I'm starting to get worried about their expansion.
