You’ve stumbled on one of the many reasons the cloud is a painfully stupid idea. The Egyptians stumbled on another. A couple years ago when a guy fleeing the police crashed into the cable company’s repeater nearest my house and took me entirely off the grid I stumbled on another.
The cloud is really cool, all the way until ain’t.
It’s another paradigm shift, isn’t it. In corporate IT every software update had to be approved by the user community before it could be rolled out. When the software resides on the cloud the user community (now in millions) suddenly doesn’t count, and the geeks plus their MBA managers rule.
