On: The Cloud

[neworbit]

Sony loses control of tens of millions of cloud accounts and their gaming infrastructure disappears for weeks, and people still think cloud = reliable and safe, huh?

Even giant botnet infections have nothing on that.

There's a place for everything, yes. Definitely convenience to cloud services. I am not of the opinion it should be the default answer.

So anything on a server is now cloud?

Like "e-business" and "social network" before it, "cloud" is simply a pseudonym for the Internet.
