perhaps 'cloud' is a misnomer - any ideas what the real name should be?

- captiva12 13y agoCan you explain?
- Mordor 13y agoA cloud is what exactly - something fluffy in the sky, an omen of rain perhaps? It's supposed to make you feel safe, but is this really what they are when you're surrendering your most personal information to some greedy corporation and the all seeing eye of the government? Perhaps a prison cell or operating table would be more appropriate?
- markshepard 13y agoyeah, cloud is one of those terms used,overused and abused to a point that it can mean anything. In this context, the "Personal Cloud" means "Public Cloud" like functionality(basically data residing somewhere and your method of accessing it is using various client applications) with ownership of that data in your control (The "Personal" aspect).
