“I get that the cloud is coming and one day we’ll all be pushed to keep most of our stuff in the ‘sky.’ Just look at Apple’s new MacBook Air line. The largest internal flash memory available is 256 gigabytes. In this digital age that’s likely not enough to hold most user’s current content. And as more (read: all) computers move to flash memory eventually, the cloud will become the offsite storage vessel for us all.” … Brian Sullivan, CNBC
