This is the way forward. If most all internet services can be implemented with open source, and processing and data storage is all virtual, then the logical place we're headed is either 1) big, centralized services that treat the details of our lives as fodder to sell products, or 2) renting cycles and storage out and decentralizing everything. For anybody concerned with privacy and not looking forward to becoming part of some hivemind, option 2 seems most logical. I don't think cost would be prohibitive, and looks like this site is interviewing guys working in the problem area on new product development, which means that there is a future there. Anybody's bet if it actually happens, though.
