Cloud computing is the idea that there is computer resources (clock cycles, servers, memory) that are available by task rather than by renting the physical machinery. Amazon and Google are currently doing this, renting out time and resources from their server farms. Cloud comes from how computer resources are usually illustrated in org charts (as a cloud) but also represents that it is as accessible as air.
The fiction applications of it is that if you have the money, you can rent out as 'big' of a computer as you need, need a supercomputer to crack the encryption on a message? Hope your credit card holds up...

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Also, cute to watch a board full o' guys flailing around in obvious need of a phrase to correspond to "OMG MY OVARIES!!"
Yeah. I hear something very different in meaning from "OMG MY TESTICLES!!"
