This hard drive gives you the usual local access to your data and automagically backs it up to the cloud, with no user intervention. It actually saves the ten previous versions of every document, so you can go back in time. The offer seems quite good: When you buy the 100GB drive, you get a year of 100GB online storage. LaCie says that prices start at $US200.
It sounds great on paper. I’d like to try how it goes through my 60,000-image iPhoto and 60,000-song iTunes library.

Saturday, June 25, 2011 at 3:36 PMThe sooner these trendy morons get over their obsession with cloud computing (probably the stupidest concept I’ve heard of in years), the better. There are too few places in the world with internet that’d make it practical. And security?? There’s no such damned thing.
Seriously – Screw The Cloud.
