    The promise of the cloud is that your storage and computing problems will be abstracted away from messy physical objects that you need to maintain, taken care of far way by other people. Well, it turns out that those other people need to buy a lot of servers.

    That's because those other people are stupid. They just need to put everything in the cloud!

    I think it should be written like:

    Cloud. Boom.
    Drives Sales. Boom.
    For Physical servers. Boom.

    Throw in some wikiwiki noises, a phat beat, and some sampling, and you've got a hit record.
