Remember that post Google put up this week that accused the MPAA of trying to resurrect the spirit of SOPA with the help of state prosecutors (that included evidence based on some of Sony Pictures' leaked emails)? It just turned into a lawsuit -- and...

Dropbox is taking another shot at the enterprise with a completely redesigned version of its service that allows end users to see separate containers for personal and work content on the same device simultaneously and gives more control to IT administrators over corporate files, including real-time monitoring of where files are traveling.
Dropbox has had a business product since 2012, and earlier this year it rolled out some new features for administrators.

But the update announced today required some major back-end work, so the company is positioning it as the "relaunch" of Dropbox for Business. As CEO Drew Houston explained to the press at an event in Dropbox's San Francisco headquarters, "We rebuilt the foundation of Dropbox because nobody has done this before. Nobody has built a product that both users love and IT loves."

End users are the main beneficiaries of the update. Previously, Dropbox users could only be logged into one Dropbox account at a time -- if their company gave them a work-only Dropbox (administered by IT), they couldn't access their personal Dropbox folder from the same app. The upcoming release fixes that: Users will be able to see both their personal and work Dropbox accounts within the app at the same time, or toggle between them (see the screenshot to the right for how this will look on a mobile device).
IT will still be able to monitor and control the flow of files to the business account, and will be able to restrict company-owned devices so that users can only see their company (not personal) Dropbox folder.
To get this feature, the user will have to join her personal Dropbox account to her work one; she can also detach them at any time. Single sign-on can be achieved through Active Directory Federation Services or third-party tools like Okta.
Dropbox also announced three new features for IT administrators on Dropbox for Business:
Even with these tools, Dropbox still trails behind many enterprise-oriented collaboration tools like Box -- which has a more robust development platform and is introducing features for real-time collaboration, an area that Dropbox said it's not targeting at this time.
But by gradually adding the features that IT departments demand, Dropbox is hoping to eliminate the need for these enterprise-focused providers in most companies. Chances are, your company's employees are using Dropbox already, so why make them switch? That question is getting harder and harder to answer.

UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis recently pulled out of his first scheduled title defense against Josh Thomson because of an injured knee. Now, he is closer to knowing the full extent of his injury and the prognosis isn’t good.
A report from Wednesday night’s UFC Tonight television program said that Pettis has suffered a torn PCL in his knee and that three separate doctors have recommended a surgery that could keep the champion out of commission for half a year. “Showtime” is reportedly going to seek the opinion of a fourth doctor to see if he can avoid surgery and have continued physical therapy completely heal his hurt knee.
If Pettis decides to go the strictly physical therapy route, he could finish that rehabilitation in eight weeks. However, Pettis already has tried rehab on the knee – which was injured twice this past summer - and recently re-injured it on his first day back in training.
The fighter told UFC Tonight reporter Ariel Helwani that if the fourth doctor also recommends surgery to repair his knee, he will get the procedure done. UFC president Dana White said that Pettis will “definitely” need to have his knee operated on during a recent interview.
We will keep you informed as this story continues to develop.
