Rain Cloud Computing

The flaw in the argument is the assumption that most people want control. For most stuff, I don't particularly care if I have complete control. If Google were to delete my Gmail account tomorrow it would be a two-day annoyance and I'd quickly move on.

And I'm more than willing to trade the privacy risk for convenience. When I'm not, I keep it on my own computer.

I wonder if more people will start to care about their information being stored in the cloud after what happend to Palin and her Yahoo email account.
