Who "owns" this database? Where does it reside? Who has access to it?

I'm interested in the HealthVault app. I like how there's a HealthVault website, app for Windows 8 and Windows Phone (I'm still at 7.5, but I see there's an app for that as well), and I also like the fact that it appears to work with my FitBit. But got some questions about it. My biggest question concerns who has access to my personal health data? In looking at this app and the website, I come to the conclusion that the data is stored, probably by Microsoft, somewhere in the cloud (Azure?), but since Microsoft has it, can they peruse it? Or is my personal health information encrypted in some fashion, so that even though they have the data, they can't peruse it? And besides them, how about FitBit? Do they have access to the data in HealthVault? Just how pervasive is this data?

One of the new things I learned came very early in the episode when Gov mentioned that when he's uninstalling the crapware, he always uninstalls 1 app, then reboots, then uninstalls the next 1, then reboots, etc.  I know I haven't done that for lots of machines I've worked on.  Makes me wonder how many machines I've messed up, by not rebooting after uninstalling each application.  I know that in some cases those machines always behave oddly, during their whole lifetime.

I've got a question, though, for Gov.  If uninstalling a crapware app and then rebooting after each uninstall should be the SOP, then should you always doing that, whether you're first setting up a machine or uninstalling something from a 2 year old machine?

I use my phone to control my Windows 7 PC's Windows Media Player.  Just open up Windows Media Player and enable "Allow remote control of my Player"... and then open up the Connected Media app while you're on the same network and voila.

Here is the help documentation for more details: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Getting-started-with-media-streaming

Hey,Paul, I've got a question for you.  I also have an HTC Trophy.  When I watched this episode you mentioned that you got something from HTC called the Connected Media app.  It sounded good and so I downloaded it.  I've gotten into it, but am not entirely sure how to use it.  For example, when I get into it and look at anything, like photos, music, videos, etc, one of the things listed there is "media servers".  In my home network all I have is a NAS (a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Home external HD).  This is OK, and I see things on my NAS, but I guess I was expecting more.  In this episode you mentioned being able to control the music playing via the Connected Media app.  I just don't see how I could do that with what I've got.  In your situation do you have something like an XBox?  What is it, exactly, that you're controlling through that Connected Media app?
