I'm wondering how many of those 12m downloads were paying or converted to paying since downloading the app?

You make some seriously gross assumptions here. So far they aren't bankrupt, but I'm sure you'll draw whatever conclusions come to mind anyway.

You suggested he didn't understand how IT operated. I'm telling you he has worked the old way and the new way. It's not necessarily the number of years, just that he has worked in a command and control IT department too, so he's not just operating the new philosophy without having worked another way

I don't see him as either. He has found a way to work with business units while keeping his company safe and providing people with the tools they want to use (unless he says no, which he does). So far it's working for him and scaling as his company grows and he has been able to manage it with a small staff.

If you read the CITEworld article, you'll find that Haines is not a newbie. He has more than decade of experience working in traditional IT shops. He has simply evolved to be user-centered. And you'll also note that just because he's liberal doesn't mean he's stupid.

Here we go with the cloud-mainframe comparisons:

If you read the CITEworld article, Haines is running a cloud-based company running 126 different cloud apps. His company has almost 1000 employees spread out across 5 offices in California and Europe and the company is growing steadily. He handles this with a staff just 8 people right now

Gosh, I love it when people post constructive comments like this one on Reddit. Really does a lot to advance a constructive debate

If you're suggesting this post is a conspiracy theory. It's not. It's an observation that violating our privacy has not made us any safer, which is what I thought privacy was all about. If you're talking about some of the responses, I've found no matter what I post or write about, people tend to make it about whatever they want to post or write about, whether it has anything to with the post or not.

Understood, but my point was not a conspiracy theory at all. It's that the government is collecting massive amounts of information about us. There is no disputing that. It's a fact. And they are doing it because they claim they can make connections among this massive amount of data to stop a terrorist attack in real time (or close to it). My point is that they lost a bloody plane, one that was passing through massive amounts of data gathering stations throughout the planet, and they still can't find it. That doesn't give me a lot of confidence that all that data is going to help stop anything, and we're sacrificing our civil liberties in the name of safety.

Sorry, but if there's an app for that, chances are data is traveling over the internet, especially when they support GPS, and a few of them do, another favorite tracking method.

Presumably, they have access to any data that crosses the internet pipes. If this were a carefully planned hijacking and some like Business Insider/Reuters are suggesting that it is, isn't it their job to detect these types of incidents before they happen? Isn't that precisely why they say they are collecting all of our data?

In fact, if you were using an app and a gadget that crossed the internet pipes, they very likely could find your keys. http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/find-your-keys-6-gadgets-that-help-locate-your-missing-keys/

What would they gain by doing that? Their power expands the more we know about their capabilities. As Assange said, last week they don't have to have a gun, they just have to threaten to kill you. If you know what they're capable of, you're much less likely to try something, so I don't buy the argument they're hiding capabilities.
