Maybe i really don't get it, but your business model depends on your cloud services, right? Why should you then give one the oppertunity to build up a totally independent plattform from your cloud services? This makes no sense, because it would decrease your income and therefore endanger the operation of your cloud services. So what does "you can do that with ickStream" really mean: That some services depend (as with my squeezebox.com) to your cloud services, even if the main core is installed on ones private cloud? Then we're once again at the beginning of the story: mysqueezebox.com but with another name. Regarding "private cloud & server 24/7"": When talking about a "private cloud" using the word "server" is already a mistake, because common people think of servers that they are loud as jets, costs hundreds of dollars per year for power consumption, are big as skyscrapers, are worse for healthy reasons and so on... But we know that this is totally wrong nowadays: You can build up small systems with low power consumption which has so much horsepower that they can do much more than just handle your music library and some music services. The only thing that is missing is that someone builds up a a ready to go hard- and software platform which can be handled by consumers. I never understood why logitech tried to implement the LMS into the touch. Why not build up some small ready to go nano server (sorry: private cloud system)? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mule's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30049 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98467 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
