I'm so tired of this crap I'm not even engaging in the debate anymore.

Lavabit was a much more "under the radar" provider. Silent circle has gained huge traction since they started and provide secure Phone, SMS and mail services. They may not be "equal" but silent circle is certainly more of a high profile target.

I would probably argue that being imprisoned for an undetermined time is fairly comparable to "losing your life" for most people.

Spideroak.com - online backup and sync with zero-knowledge client side encryption should be represented in cloud services in my opinion, though since we are not yet 100% open source I understand the arguments against it.
We are however very close to opening nimbus.io and crypton.io open-source secure and private storage APIs based on our storage infrastructure.

I am thoroughly unimpressed by Marissa Mayer at this point. Yahoo is doing nothing but keeping up their 'trend' of buying too early or too late.
Tumblr while a great asset is going to be FAR to expensive to pay off for Yahoo at this point, and a lot of the junior assets they have purchased have no or little direction.
In my opinion Yahoo is on a quick slide towards 'AOL territory' where they have to slim down to their 'core' to make any money and will likely suffer innovation starvation until they are almost totally irrelevant.

Yup. Or at least something that could very easily be traced back to me.

Simply 100% not true. They freely admitted to committing crimes, and there is overwhelming evidence they routinely broke the law and helped clients do the same. The 'fine' was a joke.

For a minute I had a '24' flashback and started packing canned goods and ammunition into a 'bug out bag'..

According to AP cellphone service is being suspended to avoid allowing 'detonation of remote devices'.
