October 20, 2009

People get interested.  However, interest is quickly tempered in the wake of T-Mobile Sidekick data loss from the cloud -- a Microsoft cloud.  The implication is a reminder of the importance of getting things right in a silo or a cloud. The rapidly growing space of enabling cloud technology companies and self proclaimed cloud based service providers will feel this. Put another way? Oh the pain.
