Agreed. I set up Orb about 5-6 years ago to stream my music and videos, but it was always too much hassle to make sure I left my desktop on (and that it didn't go into sleep mode).
For music, it was more trouble than it was worth - I always had enough to last me on my MP3 player.
For videos, Orb didn't work well on my internet connection (I think 5mbps at the time). Also, I never had a good enough reason to actually stream a personal video, other than to show off the Orb service to someone.
Especially now, with the proliferation of Pandora and Hulu and Netflix and YouTube and other always-on media services, is there really a need for this type of product? I say no.
