Yes, I've read it now. the content certainly seems to disagree with
the title, as it's a love-fest for clouds.

And it doesn't jive with what Tom said about Danger's problem with the
sidekick.  And recent outages with BB.

Maybe tjpa's quotation is what your government wants you to believe.

The writer interviewed a lot of people, but did not or could not go  
beyond a bunch of anecdotes and quotes. No analysis here.


Most useful was the quote from Google: "clouds are more secure than  
whatever you're using now."

Now, I suspect Betty's data doesn't contain a lot of state secrets,
but certainly we need the white hats to keep striving for improvement.
