Mailbox App, the Gmail client that makes people wait in line to sign up, has been acquired by Dropbox.

Today we’re really excited to welcome the Mailbox team to Dropbox.

Did Dropbox make Mailbox team wait in a queue before they can join?

It did not take long for MailboxApp.com to be updated with Dropbox presence.

4S ≠ S4

I overheard the following conversation somewhere in a hipster-filled restaurant. It went something like this:

Hipster 1: Hey, you got a new phone.

Hipster 2: Yeah, but I’m going to get the S4 as soon as it’s out.

Hipster 1: Why?

Hipster 2: I want to be the first to get it.

Hipster 1: The 4S has been out for years. A lot of people got it.

Hipster 2: (roll eyes) I said S4, not 4S.

Hipster 1: Yeah, a 4S.

Hipster 2: Too many people got 4S. I want an S4.

……. conversation went on and on.

No I didn’t make that up.
