If &ldquo;cloud computing&rdquo; has a meaning, it is not a way of doing computing, but rather a way of thinking about computing: a devil-may-care approach which says, &ldquo;Don't ask questions. Don't worry about who controls your computing or who holds your data. Don't check for a hook hidden inside our service before you swallow it. Trust companies without hesitation.&rdquo; In other words, &ldquo;Be a sucker.&rdquo; A cloud in the mind is an obstacle to clear thinking.
