[OSX-Users] iCloud

[mc schraefel]

so, putting one's data in the cloud

- one's personal data into a company's fileshare, with security back doors,
rather than one's own backups where one holds the keys to the encryption

am i the only person feeling a little dubious about the price of all this
convenience?
or the assumption that one is always on? will always be on? 

it's an amazing techno shift = has there been much discussion about this
transition?

apparently apple's stock of timecapsules has gotten very parched. with
iCloud, why would they refresh that? 

i have a feeling of foreboding.

anyone??
