All these years of disliking Microsoft (and I love a bit of M$ bashing as much as the next Mac user) for dominating the landscape, and I’ve happily jumped for another big company that’s well on its way to being for the next twenty years what Microsoft was for the last twenty.
I suppose when all’s said and done, we want our choices to be made simple. We want a one-stop shop. We want to be told what to do.
I’m still not *quite* ready to place all my trust in a remote company to store all my most valuable information, but I’m giving it away bit by bit…

They’re in my bad books at the moment. Been using Adsense and slowly creeping up to the $50 minimum payout over the last 12 months.
So as we creep to dollar number 49, guess what.. they up their minimum payout to $100.
Not impressed.
