I don't want or need to publish many of my videos or photos online. They are private; I'm a fairly private person.
Also - where am I supposed to put the terabytes of legally obtained digital media that I own? Can you upload every movie you own to YouTube? Furthermore, my NAS serves things quicker than any online service.
I also like a local player in case there's no Internet connection or if it's slow. I go camping in the mountains and my mobile provider has spotty coverage in remote regions.
So no, it doesn't solve the problem real well. I'll keep using my NAS and online backup service and general/full operating systems such as Windows, OS X, Debian and CentOS.

I bet they're more secure than most backups that most HN'ers use. > So no, it doesn't solve the problem real well. I'd wager most users don't have terabytes of data, or need to watch movies when they go camping in the mountains. Bummer it doesn't work for you, but I still think there a lot of people it would work for.

I think a Google employee or a three letter agency could probably look at them if they wanted to. What if Anonymous gets hold of them and wrongly identifies you as a bomber? Also, I'd wager that most users don't need to have all of their videos, photos or other media available to them wherever they go or on whatever device they're using.
