iCloud is not a music service. It was released (around?) the same time as iTunes Match, which is Apple's online music service. iCloud replaced MobileMe as Apple's online data storage and email service (and Calendar, Notes, Contacts, and Reminders). Also, it provides access to Find My iPhone. [[Special:Contributions/75.69.96.225|75.69.96.225]] 21:41, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

I think BlackHat is being logical (Spock-like, if you will) - he really doesn't consider the "trip hazard" (to passersby or to the cloud services or their users).

Also, the server is far, far too small to fit all of the cloud. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.250.161|108.162.250.161]] 08:53, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

I don't think BlackHat is being sadistic. I think this is meant to show the blithe ignorance or unfailing optimism of users' faith in "the Cloud", which takes on almost mythic proportions of invincibility/data integrity in many conversations.
