Just as I'd mentioned hundreds of times before... Cloud computing is a nice addition but not solution. If people are going to be so ignorant to think that the web is safe is sorely mistaken. They have been proving my point for the past couple months with certificates being stolen and breaking into all sorts of email systems and so on. Also if one is clever enough to hack into a cloud server they would also be smart enough to know how to make a virus spread and hit other servers as well as redundant backups. I sure hope they will be on top of these things. Also good luck streaming anything offline that you'd paid for and so on. Sorry but I like to keep what I buy in hand not in the "clouds" like they are trying to make so appealing. Also how would gamers ever expect to play real games OTA? They have gaming computers for reasons. They sell hardware to power the OS for a reason. If we scale back and dumb down then what is left? I laugh to think of all the people turning into sheep and those who know computers, systems and how to manipulate things will be the wolfs among the sheep. As China sits on 10 year old OS's and some moving to newer OS's are overtaking parts of the web... I highly doubt they are dumb enough to push everything to to cloud... What army would you have left? Too many things to think about but Cloud is nice addition or option but never a solution.
