At least he left out my 'car air-bag' metaphor

From ZDNet: Cloud providers shrug off liability for security. Ego-boosting bit starts about half-way down.

Actually, I would say on the basis of my research that providers less 'shrug it off' than 'deny it forcefully and repeatedly', but this may change as the market matures - there are already providers such as Salesforce.com that make a virtue out of maintaining good business relationships with their customers.
