Kim Dotcom's Mega Claims 1 Million Users Within 24 Hours 211
Kim Dotcom's new "Mega" cloud service appears to be a hit. According to Dotcom over 1 million have signed up for their free 50 gigabytes of storage. Although that is about 1% of the Dropbox user base, it's not a bad start. From the article: "Mega quickly jumped up to around 100,000 users within an hour or so of the site's official launch. A few hours after that, Mega had ballooned up to approximately a quarter of a million users. Demand was great enough to knock Mega offline for a number of users attempting to either connect up or sign up for new accounts, and Mega's availability remains spotty as of this articles' writing."

That's why you spend the next few weeks downloading porn, followed by the next few months uploading it all to Mega and freeing the space in your hard drive, and then... you'll have to download it *again* from Mega just to be able to watch it.

I assumed all that was fairly obvious. What's your theory, by the way?
I'm thinking all those elves that are unemployed now that Christmas is over are working hard for Mr Kim.
