By 'in the cloud' I meant more like your own private portion of the 'cloud'. For example, I have an Amazon S3 account, which allows me to store my digital media on my private 'cloud' and stream it anywhere in the world. So I don't care whether that content is available publicly or not (as in on Netflix); this is my content, the one I've obtained and am storing it in a safe, protected area. -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85651 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
