Terrible article, veers way off subject from the headline. So I'm going to forget the article exists and talk about the headline.

I'm personally more interested in personal cloud type services. Little plug computers that you hook to your wall and run services such as FTP off of. You pay for brain dead easy DNS service at whatever rate and all of your data belongs to you. If your DNS provider gives you the finger you switch and give it right back.

Right now these devices are expensive. In time though they'll be cheap. So I'm just waiting on it until I can build my own or buy one for <$50.



I'm working on that particular project right now(1). Its much closer than you think.

(1) Like code windows open next to this one, right now.


>Its much closer than you think.

I'm not exactly a patient man. If I suspected I'd be waiting long I'd start my own project.


Your own project, or are you working on the 'freedom box'?
