A bit of a tangent and not related to hosting but I find it interesting how they all preach the cloud, yet anyone working in IT who has to keep privacy as their highest good does not go with the cloud. I noticed this at work.

No one likes the cloud, no one wants to go with a cloud solution to the point where esoteric software is preferred to the cloud software which might be better but is harder to justify. Kind of happy people are this based at work.
