I might be exaggerating a little, but all this does is making the move to "cloud-systems/apps" slow down. People or companies are already afraid of the cloud concerning owning their data, spying, etc... Articles like this are bad advertising (but also good to point out the privacy issues, don't get me wrong here). Maybe everyone should start running their "OwnCloud" (pun and reference intended) as well as their own email system? So in other words, let's abandon the cloud all together?
