It’s Time for You to Take the Cloud Back From Corporations (Clive Thompson)
“…it’s a “personal cloud”: I own and run the hardware. The simple act of building and running it has given me a glimpse of a possible alternate future for the Internet. It’s an increasingly popular one too.”
“Another outcome: You realize that, holy Moses, putting stuff online is not rocket science anymore.”
“Granted, personal clouds create new problems. A blizzard knocked out my DSL for a day, taking my cloud with it. A house fire destroys not just your laptop but your cloud backup as well.”
