Well yes, it sounds good, but it will open a lot of scenarios in which users upload vital information to a data cloud and get screwed by hackers. Important information should still be stored in a physical drive, and be unaccessible from the outside, even if this innovation means that it will no longer be important to have huge drives.
It would also suck being unable to access some file because the data cloud server is too loaded or under maintenance..
.. I hope he doesn't tell anyone why he got there in the first place. I'm not a criminal, but if I saw him I sure would kick his ass for distributing such abominations...
I love slackware, I've been using it for more than a year without changing distributions or installing windows. However, I'm planning to update my machine, and add an Intel Dual Core. My question is: Why doesn't slackware have support for 64bit architectures yet? There might be ports like Slamd64 or BlueWhite64, but IMO 64bit support should be included in the main distribution.

Data Cloud?? Isn't it cheaper to just put up an ftp server on your machine?? You can access your data from anywhere in the world

I hope the initial release isn't full of bugs

There seems to be a "bug" in the Google Maps software..
