Absolutely agree, I fly long distance a lot and really really enjoy flying in the A380, specifically due to the air quality and feeling of space it has. I usually try to pick this plane flying out of SFO so I reallu hope that this plane will be in service for a long time to come.

Yes you need backups and no RAID is not a backup. That would also cover the falling of the table scenario.

Backups can be easily done via USB, remote encrypted offsites or using a second device for synching and cold standby.

You can always call us during the warranty period - from our experience this rarely happens. Yes we do sell maintenance packages outside the warranty terms. We dispatch technicians and with those maintenance packages you don't need to pay for that.

We use ZFS RAID 5 and while it's a great way to make sure that you can recover from 1/4 drive failures, 2/4 drive losses will be bad.

And yes you're right on the full disk encryption - and this is something we'll be shipping in one of our upcoming releases which happen on a monthly basis.

That would be awesome! Should I contact you via the tickettitan form?

"Shouldn't private control of one's own data be a basic right in this day and age?"

That's what's driving me (and us)! :) We need to regain control over our own data and become first class citizen in this digital age (and yes also in the monetary aspect of it). Our hypothesis is: if you make it beautiful, easy to use and fun & given a similar feature set, people will go with what gives them more individual freedom. So thank you - for rooting for us!! :)

You should try our trial (just hit the button) - it's basically the same system that runs on the boxes and once you decide to buy one we can just provide it setup with everything you did online.

The device comes with different raid levels - preconfigured and on-site support if anything happens.

1. Making backups is really easy - the most simple way is a USB backup, additionally: offsite encrypted and using a second unit to be synched and ready as a cold standby unit.

2. not sure what you mean by that.

3. we're working on this - currently only the synching and cold standby scenario works and is often used by our customers.

We didn't build these devices for IT pros - you need to know how to plug in power, ethernet and push the one button that it has. That's it!

We've talked to sandstorm - we might even combine our forces ;).

You get the full source code. The license is not an OS license though - that's what I meant. We're moving the base system to a OS license.

Exactly, I believe there's a clear cycle going on (mainframes - pc - clouds - personal clouds).

Fueled by:

- moores law (massive compute power and storage at cheap prices) - bandwidths growing - new tools and devices that create constant streams of data (smartphones, collaborative & filesharing tools etc.) - commoditization of our most-used online tools (see dropbox) - a desire to have one integrated point of access/control

and a raising awareness of how important it is to own/control our data (caused in part by constant news coming out on hacks, data breaches and how basically data companies are the new oil companies)

Yes, it's a server :)

ps. I'm one of the founders

Awesome! So am I right that this is kind of how those motion tracking things in movies work? Would I actually see live data of movements?
