From the New York Times, by David Pogue.
"The tech world seems to move in spurts and spasms, and right now we’re in the middle of the “cloud” wave.
Personally, I find the term “in the cloud” pretentious and annoying. Don’t they just mean “online?” Yes, I realize that computer professionals are referring to something much more specific — “data and application software stored on remote servers,” for example — but the world’s marketers and P.R. people seem to think that “the cloud” just means “online.” (“Now you can buy your toiletries in the cloud!!”)"
