I guess Amazon and Sony can commiserate with each other about down systems. Cloud computing sounds good, but I suspect the marketing department came up with it. I can’t believe an IT person would’ve come up with it.

Cloud computing is just another repackaged way to say: Application Service Provider, Outsourced Infrastructure, Capacity on Demand, etc...

There is nothing inherently intelligent about the cloud. It's just outsourcing version 11.0

It does? Sounds like a disaster to me. All drawbacks, both risks and inevitable, for no conceivable advantage (to me).
