A term without meaning is kinda pointless though, as it conveys nothing. Thats why I'm trying to figure out what "cloud" actually is. It's a term used to describe so much, but no one can really define it. At VMWorld recently it was very popular term but I couldn't figure out what it actually meant for them, as they were just slapping it on everything without definition. Much like I'm trying to figure out what "open" actually is when in reference to Android, or Flash, or other areas that enjoy throwing that term around.
