Google Tech TalksOctober, 30 2007ABSTRACTAfter three years of research and development on a distributed storage system, we are ready to unveil the result: Wuala. Wuala is a new way of storing, sharing, and publishing files on the internet. Unlike traditional online storage systems, Wuala is decentralized and can harness idle resources of participating computers to build a large, secure, and reliable online storage. This enables its users to trade parts of their local storage for online storage and it allows us to provide a better service for free. In the talk, I will explain what Wuala is and how it works, and I will also show a demo. All attendees will also get an invitation code to join the early alpha version.Speaker: Dominik GrolimundI am 26 years old and have studied computer science at ETH Zurich. In 1998, I founded my software company Caleido, and developed the Caleido Address-Book, a professional contact management software, of which over 35'000 licenses have been sold so far in Switzerland, Germany and Austria.In 2003, I did an exchange semester at the TU Delft, the Netherlands, as part of the Unitech exchange program, focusing on business and management. In 2004, a six-month internship followed with Siemens Corporate Research in Princeton, New Jersey in the US, where I worked in the 'Intelligent Vision&Reasoning' department, developing a prod...

There is nothing native about a virtual machine. It is cross platform. Yes the virtual machine has increased performance but honestly pc's just got fast enough to not notice the bloat. Java is actually fast for system tasks but desktopapplications are just a bad idea in java.

what a neat concept... wonder if LaCie merger will be good for the end user? has anybody found a way to stream media files from their wuala account to a computer without the file-system installed, or the wuala independent application? sure would be cool, being able to access the files via mobile device, not just download, but stream....

To those who don't understand why you'd only get 7GB with 10GB*70%:Your "downtime" should equal your "uptime", right?Your "uptime" is 10GB*70%But your "downtime" is actually 100% (you can access your files at 100% of the time), to make downtime and uptime equal, but downtime 100%, you need to get 7GB.You wouldn't want 10GB of storage and only be able to access it 70% of the time, right?

I'm running the Wuala Client on Windows and on Mac OS X. Honestly, I've never been a Java fan, but this software is a nice piece of work. Fast enough and user friendly and thus proving that Java -as has been mentioned before- has matured.

Java is natively cross-platform. Java has had its criticisms in the past due to poor performance but it has matured enough that there is no justifiable reason to criticise it anymore.C# is an open standard but you are restricted to third-party cross-platform GUIs like GTK or QT. I am not sure of cross-platform concerns about C++ and ObjC.

Hmmm, there are multiple online storage websites online, some you have to pay for i know. But Java? Why not C# or C++? Then again, for mac is more of objective C. Even still, not many people like Java.

If you're putting up 10GB for 70% of the time, 7GB is exactly what you should get back.
