I haven't followed the Dropbox conference, but have they made any statement in regards to the whole PRISM "Dropbox coming soon" claim or anything else about user privacy?
OFF TOPIC: What's the purpose for everyone making a new account to submit a completely random link, especially when anonymity isn't important?
How do you know they aren't a new user? Maybe even someone that's been lurking for a while, found a link that hadn't been submitted yet, and decided to create an account to submit it.
Because the user is as of now "2 hours old" and so is the link. And if that user has been lurking, that's fine.. but this is something I've been noticing a lot recently. Is there by chance some loophole in the frontpage algorithm where newer users have an easier chance of making the frontpage?
I don't care about karma, and it's easier to create a new account than to remember the credentials to an existing one.

Too bad the coupon displayed there doesn't work anymore.
