>my brain is conditioned to believe anything in the cloud is simply not secure Technically untrue, but true nonetheless. There are a lot of techniques for ensuring the security of data. Techniques where even the supplier of the service cannot access your data. But they do not add (in the general case) to the bottom line. In another generation (or two) users may get educated to insist on it. But for now the refrain "I have nothing to hide, why should I care about privacy?" is very common. My reply is "you have nothing to hide, now. When you do it will be too late". I have a lot of empathy for Cassandra!
