Cloud Computing is great for those people who have a reasonably fast,
affordable, and reliable Internet connection. Some of us don't have
that luxury. For example, for about 14 hours earlier today I had NO
Internet connection, either broadband or 3G mobile. It was simply
GONE. All my iCloud services did not work.

I realise this is not direct relevant to the "silent update" issue
(such an update would simply take care of itself when the Internet
returns), but I do take issue with statements that Cloud Computing is
necessarily a good thing.
