What about rolling your own 'cloud locker' to stream media to your various devices?

Anyone who has decent upload capabilities (talkin' to you Fios) could have a home media server stream to all relevant devices inside and outside of one's home (audio is obviously easier than audio+video).

All I need is a semi-automated DVD ripper that can take a spindle of purchased DVD movies and rip them all unattended.

In several years, why shouldn't we have a colocated home media server that syncs with the cloud?
