Make a tar, zip, w/e archive of the stuff you want to backup, encrypt it and upload it to the cloud, eg. dropbox. Make sure sure that it's bigger than the free 2GB, so when you die and stop paying the storage fee, they'll delete your account. Was that so hard, or did I overlook something?

Of course you have to play it with your "wife", at least until they develop a hands-free computer interface.

Yeah, especially if their software is licensed on a per-core basis.

I agree, and admit that I put it unnecessarily sensationalist. I'm certainly not claiming that Apple will be producing chips for enterprise servers anytime soon. However, I do believe that we will never see an Apple product equipped with an Intel Atom. Further, I wouldn't say that the iPhone is without "business cred".
Anyway, I also vaguely remember that when Apple switched their computers from PowerPC to Intel, they said something about being pragmatic about processor choices, and that the day when they switch from Intel to another manufacturer's processors might come fairly soon. So, who knows, maybe another 5-10 years down the road we will see powerbooks based on Apple processors...

What makes it interesting is indeed only that it's made by apple. However, if you have a look at these market cap numbers, you may see why this could have some significant implications:

Since AFAIK their only source of revenue is their deluxe gnutella client, I'd be really surprised, if lime wire LLC didn't go belly-up only due to the costs of the trial when RIAA chooses to sue for their 1.5T in damages.

Considering the substantial number of spectacular hacks that originated from China, and the fact that the Chinese have the second largest (or only soon?) Internet population, I don't see why this claim is questionable.

a browser plugin and start advertising it here, they'd make millions!

Son, I'm disappoint.

Guess as long as it's more than 1B light years away, there's not much risk of us getting eaten with some fava beans and a nice glass of chianti.

It seems there was no control group. From TFA:

And

Those controls would be hard to find these days, anyway.

Although I have to say I'm no cancer expert, more than 5000 cancers in 13,000 interviewees sounds darn high.

Have you seen the phones? They look like feature phones circa 1999.
