Are Consumers Worried Enough to Buy a Personal Server?
Seattle startup Privacy Labs is selling a server that runs email, contacts, and calendar services through a personal web domain
• The gadget is about the size of an open paperback book that sits on a side table or desk rather than in a data center
• Privacy Labs wants the server to eventually become a private digital-identity hub for everything people do online
• Instead of Google and Facebook storing all your information in their data centers, consumers would control the data and internet companies would have to ask for access
