Ah, that's actually very cool. Is it accurate? Does it stay up to date?
The Cloud concerns me. From a data security point of view, its another
point of failure and another layer of corporate indirection (should a
loss occurs and a user or business need to be made whole). I was
recently commenting on the need for an analysis of "Trustworthy Cloud
Services" that analyzed EULAs and ToS. I suspect their are not
trustworthy services after legal is factored in (in this respect, a
cloud provider's own legal terms condemns them).
