No more USB sticks: Dropbox's Drew Houston.
Drew Houston was waiting for a bus at Boston's South Station in December 2006 when frustration sparked inspiration. The MIT computer science graduate planned to work on a coding project during the four-hour ride to Manhattan but had left the USB memory stick with the project on it at his apartment. Instead, he began building what today is Dropbox, a service that automatically synchs any kind of file from one computer to another and to the Web, for easy access and sharing.
