1263680 2012-03-08 19:03:00 Meh, if the internet is down, it's almost definitely because power is, in which case I'm going to put down said device and either leave work to go home, or if I'm already at home I'll try and go outside, or if it's nighttime I'll just go to bed. Chilling_Silence (9)
1263681 2012-03-08 19:09:00 Yeah pretty much. Once you've had a legitimate use for it, like playing music at a mates place for a party, or while at work, or something like that ... You'll appreciate it. Until then, yeah, you're right ;)

Well, Not being a millionaire I couldn't afford to burn money by streaming music from the "cloud" and I doubt the internet feed would sustain it either.

Sounds kind of stupid when I can hold thousands of songs on my phone, with instant access and zero ongoing costs.

1263683 2012-03-08 19:31:00 24GB on this PC, I have 8GB of music on my phone. Metla (12)
1263684 2012-03-08 21:59:00 Seems cloud storage are suitable for those with websites/blogs - since you can link to digital properties like videos, infographics, pdf's, articles, software, etc for downloads.

But also at the enterprise level, where according to Microsoft/IDC (www.microsoft.com) millions of jobs will be created. Then the concept of big data (www.nytimes.com) on the internet. Currently this has created a lot of activity for researchers, scientists, data mining/Ad/Govt/IT agencies (e.g. IBM data, (www-01.ibm.com) Splunk, (www.nytimes.com) Data Gov, (www.data.gov/) Google, etc) etc to harness cloud data for economic reform, (http:) energy alternatives, and global health issues for 3rd world countries. Maybe a mass of music downloads may contribute to global issues, or at least researched somehow maybe from Google for their little known think insights project (www.thinkwithgoogle.com) - of which of already tons of online search/purchase behaviour reports (www.thinkwithgoogle.com) exists.

1263685 2012-03-08 23:09:00 Am I the only one that thinks that running everything from a remote location is a crock of ****?

No, I don't like cloud stuff a great deal either.

24GB > 8GB?

We have a dilemma here ...

1263687 2012-03-09 01:41:00 we?I have no dilemma, whats yours? Metla (12)
1263688 2012-03-09 01:49:00 24GB > 8GB?

We have a dilemma here ...It's only a dilemma if you make the unfounded assumption that Metla wants his entire music collection available on his phone. If he's actually perfectly happy with just carrying around 8GB of it, then your point is moot.

1263689 2012-03-09 02:33:00 I'm being a smart ass. That's one of the most common usage cases for having "cloud music", is so that you can have it all, not just a few GB worth. Chilling_Silence (9)
