Agreed. I love the Feltron Reports and the stuff Wolfram Alpha does with his own personal data, but I can't really get down with this. ThinkUp (for social media) and Day One / Daytum (for personal data) is all I need. You can't really reproduce Feltron Reports on scale.

What if you could do the Wolfram Alpha thing with a local appliance (e.g. a plug computer type thing) and its backups - if you did not explicitly want to manage them yourself - were encrypted before they ever left your network or were seen by a third party?

I guess the problem then is making subscription money on it.
