This is why marijuana is bad for you. It allows people to come up with even more stupid thoughts than they can do on their own without the use of mind altering drugs.
That data center is for a revamp of Mobileme(a product that should be free), as well as storage for the new Mac App store.
Even ChromeOS which runs in the cloud, really is a cloud based OS. The OS is on the hardware which access the cloud for Data. All of it from Websites that already have that data.
i thought once I was found, but it was only a dream.
ISP caps and slow down speeds will NOT work this.
A 1920 x 1200 desktop at 32 bits a lot of data.
In some area all you can get is DSL any where from 1.5 to 6 meg max. maybe 6 meg will work ok but some people can only get 1.5 or 3 meg dsl.
Cable has higher download speeds but a full block on a Node trying to use this at the same time.
satellite broadband with the FAP does not kill this the lag will.
3G 5GB cap will led to big costs for data over 5GB. And ATT's 2GB then $10 per GB will may this cost so much people will get a PC.
And if you have 2-3 systems then you may need FIOS just make it work good. And Fios is not all over.
