Why running MeeGo TV UX on Fedora? MeeGo core comes from Fedora and always will 
be better optimized for embedded use cases.

I agree with Mike - the world is changing. I like idea to have my data 
accessible everywhere, in sync etc. But I don't like current web browser way. 
HTML 5 is still hacked on top of the old good HTML. So more I'd like to see data 
providers to current client desktops - something like ownCloud.org. 

But still with both approaches - your data are no more your data!
