One of the points of the article was that storing data completely on the net, instead of synchronising local and remote versions, is not in their vision of the future because "users shouldn't have to worry whether they're onl

We can say that reality is a matter of opinion but we can't have that much useful discourse that way :) And in my comment I meant to refer to his statement "if you are in favor of..." which, even if soundness is subjective, d
