storeron Ask HN: Which file storage service would you recommend for the long term?

I'm wary of Google products, because they seem to go through radical changes or get killed off pretty regularly.

EDIT: same with iCloud (or MobileMe or whatever it was before that)

storeron Ask HN: Which file storage service would you recommend for the long term?

Just because Dropbox uses S3 right now doesn't mean they always will. If S3 goes down, Dropbox will probably just use something else.

storeron Ask HN: Which file storage service would you recommend for the long term?

Seeing as I haven't heard of it, it doesn't seem to meet my criteria of being popular enough to be likely to be around in 50 years.

EDIT: It's Glacier I haven't heard of, not Amazon.

storeron Ask HN: Anyone else planning to head back to Microsoft?

Long-time OS X user here. I bought my wife a Surface Pro 3 recently. We both love it. The pen is beyond excellent. The touch-screen works as well as Apple's own touchpad. The new start screen works as a fine replacement for Dashboard. Installing CygWin lets me use all the linux tools I want. I'm sure the new start menu and continuity stuff in Windows 10 will be just as good as with Apple, if not better. Sublime Text works fine on Windows, my son uses it all the time with CygWin. Haven't had any driver issues, granted we're only using the built-in hardware. I even installed Emacs and it works just as well as on my Mac.
