Never heard of that honestly, but I'll look it up. One example of Cloud flopping however doesn't negate all the other cases of its frugality.

Im just saying its never a good idea to build a social crutch on something that has an inherently fragile, ephemeral nature.

In the long run I see this push for the cloud biting everyone in the ass.

It's ethereal to us, but it's very tangible to the providers. They host thousands and millions of servers to support their cloud services. I don't think it's going anywhere and there's no real strong reason to be concerned about it other than fear of change, much like the internet at first caused that in people.
