"teh clowd!!"

[Genx87]

The terminology suddenly got real popular with mainstream society and everyone is using it left and right to describe anything that they can't explain. Everyone acts as if it's suddenly the newest latest and greatest concept ever.

Where the hell have all these people been? Pretty much any service or application delivered to you from a remote location is "the cloud". Severs are just clouds themselves and the internet is the uber cloud. Any techie would know that cloud services have been around for a while now. I blame Windows with their "yay cloud" ads...

That is what marketing does. Makes something we already use new and exciting and gets us to buy things.

No, she was taking them with her camera in their house. All the pictures were from her camera. No cloud involved.

no, see, she had been using a clunkly old beige PC but then she said 'cloud' and the wall spun around leaving her with a glossy fingerprint magnet, that's the cloud! it's glossy because clouds are shiny!

"Cloud" is the new "X".
