As much as I love the idea of a turnkey home server, I can't help thinking that will be Apple's next move. Some of us just won't use iCloud due to legal issues. If the gov't suddenly has an exigent need for, say, photos taken on a certain day, time, and place, their snooping won't be limited to plucking those from iCloud. They'll grab all the photos stored and sort through them afterwards. And that without legally having to serve search warrants to each individual user. I don't want my privacy and rights violated like that. So I'd like "iCloud for the Home," with a Mac mini that is where I put it and where the gov't needs to serve me personally with a warrant to access the data.

Also, despite this company's assurance about encryption, hell, the way Anonymous has cracked open things out there, I'm not about to trust anyone with even fractions of my data, especially since I think many Anonymous members will scoop this up and get busy hacking it.
