Welcome to the stone age! Metered Internet is what I had in 1997 in Russia. So much for predicted death of desktop applications and "keeping everything in the clowd" computing model, that so many tech journalists are predicting for everybody.
How can I expect to keep my ~200GB of data "in the clowd" if there is greedy Time Warner, Comcast and AT&T between me and my data? One is going to charge me more for pushing gigabytes monthly, another will throttle my not-so-good connection even further and another will spy on what I keep in my cloud?
