Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Okay, this is where I have to admit maybe I don't understand the concept of The Cloud. Because...Carbonite is an online backup service, right? How is that not a "Cloud" thing? (Or are people specifically talking about Apple's iCloud?)

I also admit ignorance here. Isn't The Cloud online storage? And how is it different from iCloud?

Happy birthday, Aims!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

is that right?

I heard it on public radio this morning.

did he find out why he was targeted?

I don't know.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"The Cloud" means anything stored anywhere online. iCloud is Apple's proprietary online backup system.

"The cloud" didn't get hacked. Apple and Amazon got hacked.

I think because he had a cool twitter handle.

Oh yeah, I heard that a few days ago.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The "cloud" is the concept of servers out there on the internet, you don't care particularly where. iCloud is Apple's slice of that pie. Carbonite has theirs, Google has a cloud implementation, Amazon was some of the first to go to market with cloud services for corporations.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And it was short?

There was a great thing on Fresh Air recently about how The Cloud just means your stuff is stored on someone else's physical hard drive, probably in Virginia or somewhere.
