Cloud computing

Everybody is talking about cloud computing and how it is going to revolutionize the way people and business do things. Cloud computing is most often discussed in the context of mega data centers run by the likes of Google, Microsoft, Cisco, and a few others, providing smaller, less capable companies and businesses all components of the stack (infrastructure, application, etc.) in a very scalable and cost effective manner. I read an interesting article in Business Week about the smartphone and cloud computing. The article is noted below for your reference. Anyway, when you think about it, the smartphone is really quite dependent today on the cloud concept.
