The key phrase here is "Pay-for-play / utility computing".

Yeah, "a big scam by large companies to milk more money out of the
consumer."

John Corliss BS206. Because of all the Googlespam, I block all posts
sent through Google Groups. I also block as many posts from anonymous
remailers (like x-privat.org for eg.) as possible due to forgeries
posted through them.

No ad, CD, commercial, cripple, demo, nag, share, spy, time-limited,
trial or web wares OR warez for me, please. Adobe Flash sucks, DivX rules.

You have a point there. You don't necessarily pay.

I think these definitions have focussed on the advantages to business of
the cloud.

Maybe he's an ozzie, cos it's sounds like 'Pay by the day ute hire"

Which pretty much describes the cloud in a kinda abstract way...
