it should be fairly easy for Google to duplicate everything Siri does just by adding a little additional code. It would take them days, not years. I love how the author doesn't know jack about anything.
Agreed, I don't see anything magical coming out of Siri other than Apple marketing. Google has been collecting voice data for years now and will probably turn out something even more advanced that actually understands accents. Given some decent voice recognition I could churn out the rest of the "Siri" code in a few days. Hurray for keyword tables.;)
Yeah, I always hide the partition which offers a minor level of additional safety. http://www.marccizravi.com/2010/remove-wd-smartware/ Granted they should never come with that partition setup in the first place.... but for the price.. eh.
Totally agree, the clustered approach doesn't seem to solve the problem posed. It's simple, buy a bunch of 2TB drives and set them up with ZFS. Configure a nightly snapshot job to another similar machine and call it a day. You can have a larger storage area with a fully redundant backup for less than 2K in parts.

Heh, just buy a bunch of 3TB My Book's on black Friday and call it a day. ;)

Why are you spending your money like that? Sneaker-net your drives to AWS EBS. It's a no-brainer.
AWS EBS = $0.10 per allocated GB per month or $102.40 per TB..... I doubt power and hardware is costing him > $819.20 a month.
