Remains of the Day: File Sharing Service Mega Is Here

Remains of the Day: File Sharing Service Mega Is HereAll systems are go for MegaUpload's successor, CyanogenMod releases new test builds, and Windows Phone users may have trouble syncing their Gmail accounts.

  • Hands On With Kim Dotcom's New Mega: This Service Could Dismantle Copyright Forever Mega, the file-sharing successor to MegaUpload, launched this weekend. The new service's privacy policy is structured around encrypting individual user data locally before uploading?so Mega never actually does any decryption, and can't tell what you're uploading. If you decide to give it a whirl, you should know that it's currently performing slowly due to high traffic. [Gizmodo]
  • CM-10.1 M-Series Builds Have Arrived Today the CyanogenMod 10.1 "M build" release candidates went live for most current Samsung Galaxy and Nexus phones. The build is based on Jelly Bean MR1, and you can download the appropriate version on CyanogenMod's site. [Cyanogenmod]
  • Google Makes Microsoft Sweat Over Sync cutoff, but Windows Phone will get DAV support Last month, Google announced that it would no longer support Microsoft's Exchange ActiveSync protocol, leaving Windows Phone users unable to sync Gmail calendar, contact, and mail data with their mobile devices. This would render Gmail's contact and calendar syncing useless on Windows Phone 8 when ActiveSync support goes offline January 30th. However, it is being reported that Microsoft has plans to bring CalDAV an CardDAV support to its mobile OS, which is now Google's preferred sync protocol. If Google refuses a request to extend ActiveSync support, it's possible that Windows Phone users will only be able to sync email via IMAP and unable to sync calendars or contacts until the DAV support update arrives at an unannounced date.
