I think it's mostly idiots with something like this: http://www.wickedlasers.com/ A $5 red laser diode is probably not going to be noticed.

I'm not sure about others, but Crashplan is very nice in that you can (for free) backup your data to another person's hard drive over the net (and it's encrypted). I have 400GB of data backed up to computers at two different family member's houses nightly. So I'm not using the cloud, I'm using well known systems.

Erm...actually, the New Testament was written in Greek...then translated to Latin.

Wow - just expand this idea infinitely, and we could have an infinite improbability drive. Think of the possibilities!
