I guess that burning CDs is not so expensive as it was some years ago, so.. why send your data to anyone when you can back it up and store it in any shelf at home or office. This applies even more when it is importan data, not just the jpgs of your dog pooping your shoes.
You have to be a complete idiot to trust in a FREE data storage service.. no one does anyone for free, and the most likely thing is that your data will be checked and watched and looked over by many.. many many people.
I myself just will keep burning CDs or buying a larger hdd
I don't understand why the trends are to blend all the uses of a piece of equipment in just one apparatus that will not have excellent performance... video game consoles such as playstation and lookalikes does a very well job enterntaining you and your kids killing the aliens or riding your motorbike at 200 MPH.
Anyway, if I would want something to play, surf the web, make my appointments and even cook me a meal , I rather buy a healthy computer (1GHZ, 128 RAM, 40 GB HDD minumum) and do everything as it has to be done: the right way
Even though we rule in the third planet from the sun that does not give us the right to choose the course of evolution -or destruction- of any other planet. Looking at what we've done to our own home planet, the future doesn't look so bright when thinking in modifiying genetic structures and sending them away to see what happens.
