@"harnessing the power of the cloud" *giggle*. We have a double-edged inside-joke in Sweden among the IT crowd. It goes something like this:
On the contractor's side: If the customer starts asking uncomfortable/silly/annoying questions, just keep throwing allusions to the "cloud" and other buzzwords at them until their eyes glaze over with either satisfaction or confusion-but-cannot-be-arsed-to-pursue-the-matter-further. On the power customer's side: If your service provider starts speaking about the "cloud" and other buzzwords, chances are he either has no idea about what he is doing or is catering exclusively to customers who don't, and as such will be useless to customers with finer needs.
