Usually comments are interesting, but most of these are air-headed arguments unrelated to this specific video about a promising icloudesque intranet server-led data storage solution, at a time when such a solution may have seemed more a theoretical antithesis to the dystopian conundrum attached to losing work stored on a computer than an actually affordable and reliable way to back up data. Oh youtubers... please grow up. :/

Notice how they still don't get near as much credit as Steve Jobs. My point is that they should be recognized. Perhaps try not jumping to conclusions?
