Great podcast – wanted to comment on the question about privacy & security.
Jungle Disk encrypts your data on your machine before uploading using a key that you provide and only you know. Neither Amazon or anyone else can read your files without that key.
The Security Now! Podcast recently featured Jungle Disk and talked in-depth about the security.

Thanks for making that point, I was aware of the security procedures on Amazon using Jungle disk and it is the first question I am asked about in relation to offsite backup.
