New Video of Apple's Enormous iDataCenter

1sockchuck writes "A new aerial video provides a rare look at Apple's new data center in North Carolina, which is expected to begin operations as soon as this week. It reveals the scale of the facility, which at 500,000 square feet will be among the world's largest data centers. The video, shot by a North Carolina real estate agent, also shows additional site preparation work that could support rumors that Apple plans to build another huge data center at the site." This is what drone cameras are for.

The article seems to say..

I read a part of the article, and it seems to say that the datacenter might be used to store music, games and other media like that for the iDeviceNameHere. It also says something about streaming your iTunes collection?
Do iPads/Phones/Fish have the bandwidth to stream high-quality music anyway? I remember something about the iPad not getting a great wireless signal.
Also from the article:

"We believe such a service would only enhance the loyalty toward Apple.."

More like the dependence on Apple. This will give them control over your entire media collection. In an instant they could wipe it from existence or do whatever they want with it.
I don't have any Apple devices, but if I did, I know that I would not upload my high-quality, offline available music to a server where it will most probably be re-encoded at a lower bitrate so they can stream it back to me.
Maybe it'll be optional, but from what I've seen of Apple they will force their users to make use of it.
