""With Big Blue's drag-and-drop demo, all data remains on the private cloud. The public cloud handles nothing but processing."

Holy Farting Mary ... Does anybody, anywhere, buy into that line of bullshit?" .... By jake Posted Tuesday 10th February 2009 08:47 GMT

Yes, jake, some do. Especially those who can especially compartmentalise information and secure their own private data clouds for Intelligence Lock Down and Lock Out.

IBM's Real Mr Big Trick though, for them to stay as Industry Lead, is for them to Buy into/Purchase those Systems Players which can Lock out and Lock Down their Plans. As you can easily Imagine, that would be Something of Considerable Interest to a Lenovo Cloning Control Operation or a Foreign Energy Power Producer, whether Raw Natural as in a Russia or Definitively Refined as in a Japan.
