This gives me an idea. The vending machine could also sell hosting. Sometimes, the box just won't come back to life and you need somewhere to stuff the data. *grin*
How about a vending machine, where you insert a hard drive, swipe your card, and it either gets vaulted to S3 or an EC2 intance is spawned on the cloud, and the data on the drive becomes the instance's boot media and gets streamed to the instance storage over a 10-gigabit connection from the vending machine, until all the data's uploaded. That solves the problem of end users getting their data to the hosting provider quickly, with no need to stress out their low-speed WAN. -- -JH
