The European Union is trying to push cloud computing in a big way; even their native businesses and population are still wary of it. Carbonite looked to me like the first vestiges of such an assault on US computing.

Funny, I have a friend (not upper case) that works for a large company. The company has clients all around the world, and they post their technical information on-line.

Well, a number of clients, in ‘volatile’ parts of the world, would have NOTHING to do with that, and wanted CDs with the technical information - they knew that the company (or really the US government) could pull the plug on their web access to that material.

Smart people there - and maybe something for all of us to think about.
