As of today they have changed their pricing plans, from $99 dollars a year for unlimited cloud storage to $999.99 a year for the unlimited option. They also have been promising a linux client for over a year now and recently held signups for beta testing. With this new price structure they have decided to allow users under the old price structure to keep their plans so long as they don’t cancel their subscriptions. The catch though is that grandfathered plans will not have access to the Linux Client upon release. So while some might be content to trust a company that would up and switch things around without forewarning I personally will be investing and some more hard drives and building up my own home back up plans. Besides between owncloud, googledrive, and dropbox my photo/document needs are covered and if I need access to my media for streaming I can do that with plex . I may invest in crashplan though just in case anything ever goes wrong. I’m just really pissed off about this whole thing because I spent two and half months uploading a little over 5 terabytes worth of data. Oh and as far as that bitcasa linux client goes, as far as I’m concerned at this point it’s just vaporware
On November 20, 2013 at 08:32AM Angel Said…So I woke up this morning just as the movie The Stand was coming on. spoiler alert Now I’ve seen this movie a bunch of times over the years only this morning I had a moment of clarity about it. In the movie all the actors with bigger parts to play die after being sick and they are all sick for about week. This means the opening sequence of the movie really doesn’t make any sense. The Camera pans around showing all these people some are piled up dead like they were trying to get out the door, and some of them look like they were doing work before they just fell over and croaked without warning. That is in no way consistent with the rest of the movie which leads you to believe that you first feel like you have the flu for a week before you die. I mean if that’s the case why are all these folks piled up like they just died quickly and unexpectedly? Also, it’s odd how I never thought of this before now when the movie came out in 1994 and I’ve seen it a bunch of times since it came out……..
