Do you have any > examples? How about the totally obvious answer like Apple's "cloud" platform. It has has proprietary access, it can not be expanded except by Apple, and has suffered mass outages due to single operational mistakes. Compare that to DNS, mail, web pages, web services, torrents/file servers, message boards, etc. that can be accessed by URL and expanded upon by anyone. Many hosted data stores can be considered cloud services because clients can perform their own replication and sharding across unlimited systems using common public APIs. -- I will not see posts from astraweb, theremailer, dizum, or google because they host Usenet flooders.

It's also go strange stigmas attached for some folks who don't realize it's just the fucking internet. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google. Use a real news client instead. JR
