Biggest scam of the decade, if you ask me. Sales based on nothing more than the buzz factor. It made some sense when it was sold simply as a reliability or load balancing scheme. But replacing your fast local storage (say an SSD array) with something fetched from a world away? Come on. Sheesh.

I hear people say "but... but... I can access my data from anywhere!". Umm yeah. You've been able to do that since the 80's. And seamlessly for at least the past 10 years. Try again.
