like your server?


Well dude, that's exactly what I've done on my phone some months ago, but you know what? after heartbleed i installed back gapps and some other non free (as in freedom) apps. Heartbleed has been a lightening to me. It statistically says a lot about software.


hi, you do know that every single word you submit to the evernote service becomes their intellectual property and can be used without your consent, do you?


That's simply not true. In fact, it's explicitly excluded in the TOS.


So what exactly this means? "... This means that by using the Service and uploading Content, you grant Evernote a license to display, perform and distribute your Content..."

Source: https://evernote.com/legal/tos.php


You ignored the important qualifier at the end of the sentence: ...to enable Evernote to operate the Service.

And the preceding clause: In order to enable Evernote to operate the Service, we must obtain from you certain license and other rights to the Content you submit so that our processing, maintenance, storage, technical reproduction, back-up and distribution and related handling of your Content doesn’t infringe applicable copyright and other laws.

You can't read half of a line of a TOS and assume it means something separate from the totality.


exactly right. Under US copyright law, Evernote could be deemed to violate your exclusive right (as copyright holder of your content) to make copies whenever they made a backup. So to avoid any opportunist litigation, you grant them a limited licence to copy your work. The same goes for your right to display/perform.


united arab emirates? seriously? the guys who had facebook censored if not hijacked? come on, be serious. that makes this article untrustable, sorry.


Were you logging in on the actual facebook? how can you tell? Logging in isn't a proof that that is the real facebook, dude. And doesn't "It was just slow" ring any bell?


It wasn't slower than many times where nothing was happening. Internet here just sucks. Whether it's peace and birds are singing, or scortched earth, it's all the same.

Plus how can you tell it isn't the actual Facebook if everything is there, status, etc, comments, pictures. I can chat with other users, send messages, etc.


the most funny part is "comments" part


That legitimately gave me a headache to read. Just... ugh.
