[QUOTE="Janx, post: 5585145, member: 8835"] well, we'll see how useful iCloud will be. The majority of my music is 50GB of my ripped CDs. Apple can't help me there, I still need iTunes and my NAS. I'm not interested in streaming my music to my player. That's a waste of bandwidth (given how U-Verse wants to cap usage and charge for overage and the carriers new data plans have limits). Having my music digitally registered in a Digital Vault (sony's working on some such thing), and being able to restore it to a device (or swap out songs) would be useful, in that it puts the onus on them to store it, not me. I'm suprised Google never released a Google Docs app, as that inherently would have been doing the cloud thing. As far as privacy concerns, Google gets nailed because people are surprised at the myriad ways Google is able to mine and use your data that aren't obvious to a lay-person who thinks "they're just a search engine" FaceBook has never been about privacy, and everybody has drunk the cool-aid that your putting your private information into a public facing machine. Heck, the whole nature of it is to share your private thoughts with everybody you know. I'll have to read more details about iCloud. At the moment, I'm not seeing how its going to solve any problems for me. [/QUOTE]
