Okay, to be fair I'll rewatch that portion of it. But here's where I'm coming from: Shouldn't the real iCloud be where everyone has his own? That's the product I was hoping they were going to come out with: "My iMac is my iCloud" or some such. Same functionality and availability but *I own my data*. Why would I want all my stuff to reside on _their_ server, not mine? I can get to my IP as easily as I can get to theirs. I would think a simple software product atop OSX could easily take care of this, and they wouldn't have to build that monstrous big iron mainframe complex in Virginia or wherever, which really sounds like "Old Think" to me... Isn't "replicated and distributed" the 21st century way? _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
