    Given Apple's track record, the terms for their "cloud" will probably be something like this:

    • All cloud apps have to be from the Apple App Store.
    • Apple gets 30% of the revenue for anything you run in their "cloud".
    • You have to use Apple's payment system for transactions.
    • Apple will remove any app which competes with anything Apple is doing.
    • Apple has the right to market to your customer base.
    • Apple is not responsible for loss of data or downtime.

    Worshipping the leader of a large corporation is not capitalism but smacks more of religious funtamentalism, similar to when Ayatollah Khomeni came to power in Iran.
