POPSGoogle Pulls the Plug in For Pay Video and Everybody Misses the Point Dvorak has it right in this column. This is a perfect example of why DEPENDING upon online services is folly. Time and time again you hear or read about how remote storage is the key to the future. Some people even want to get rid of hard drives altogether! It is ridiculous to depend on some remote computer to take care of your data. I would prefer to backup my data on to media which I have control of. I'll keep my 'obsolete' harddrives, cds, and other multiple forms of redundant backups. I'll laugh everytime I read about some poor schmuck who relied upon remote storage exclusively. And I'll laugh even harder at some REAL idiot who decided to rely upon a website to be there forever. If it isn't on your harddrive and or backed up to disk it may as well not exist when that oh-so-reliable remote computer goes offline permanently.
