Apple iCloud: Same old cage, new height • The Register:
"Because being under anyone's thumb is not much fun. Based on the nascent but growing backlash to Apple's in-app purchasing restrictions, revealed by the Financial Times opting for an HTML5 approach rather than run Apple's 30-per-cent of sales gauntlet, it's increasingly looking like Apple's control freakishness will get a slap from its customers.
As we bound forward into the cloud future - and move forward we will - we need to keep in mind the serious downsides to current cloud offerings.
This is why Red Hat's anti-lock-in for the cloud marketing has real substance. It's why so many enterprises are electing to build private clouds with open-source tools like Eucalyptus rather than cede their data sovereignty to a public cloud provider."
