Startup Webaroo to put the 'Web on a Hard Drive'?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the starting-the-data-storage-arms-race dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A new startup called Webaroo is launching Monday with an audacious proposition: You can search the Web without a net connection of any kind. Initial release consists of 'Web packs' on specific topics such as news, city guides or Wikipedia. Later this year they're promising a full-Web version that you can carry on a laptop -- provided you're willing to devote something in the neighborhood of 80 gig."

    Only if one of the webpacks is porn. Or better yet, if several are porn, cross referenced by type and participants.

    Though, my vaguely disturbing ramblings do raise an interesting point, maybe - what's their stance on the indecent materials that make up a good deal of teh webernet? When they say the "whole internet," do they MEAN goatse too?
