The cloud is a race, the end game is to control as much data as possible. Once it becomes mainstream and we all submit to it, people will get comfortable, then lazy, the negligent.
Then, either hackers or a natural disaster will compromise the system and all hell will break loose.
Thoughts?

its the easiest way for them to control all your data..
if in the end your computer is really just a dumb terminal, then all your software licensing will require constant connection (ala Steam)piracy will still happen, but it will be much harder to be off the grid..

I don't trust this cloud idea. It's another step toward a future where nobody owns anything, even if it's physically in their possession, they just lease access to it. Music and movies are already well on their way there with DRM and draconian copyright laws, and ebooks will do the same to literature.
No thanks.

I'd rather have the cloud control my data than that asshole I used to have to deal with in the IT department of a rather dumb company....

"Microsoft warned that under the Patriot Act the company may be compelled to hand over European customers' data on its new cloud service to U.S. authorities — and also to keep the data transfer secret. This, of course, runs counter to the European Data Protection Directive, which states that organizations must inform users when they disclose personal information."
