The rise of the machine

With our discussion this weekend about cloud technology and the possible label of calling it Skynet, I watched the Terminator again in preparation of the machines taking over the world.

Seriously though, this idea of cloud computing and Microsoft's entry really has the tech world buzzing.

While it's great for the world to have access to all the servers and computing power, those providing it must have the resources to provide it.
