You are probably right, but nevertheless I will NEVER use the "cloud" for many reasons. To name just a few: Why should I intrust my precious data to a vendor? Even if he's reputable there might work some "bad" people there who missuse your data. What if such a vendor suddenly decides to shut the service down or goes bankrupt? What if the vendor hands your data over to a corrupted government? What if politicians decide to shut down the entire www? Hundreds of questions arise here. >From my point of view it's far safer to store your data privately. The "cloud" is just another step into the direction of total control over you, because you become dependant and get into a situation which you can't control at all! -- Soundman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Soundman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37777 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
