Why you should adopt distributed authentication methods when browsing the net... NOW!

The Cloud - Part 1: The term and make up
The word 'cloud' is so overused today and people have wasted no time in jumping on the bandwagon and chipping in their 2 cents on all aspects of 'the cloud' from management, analsysts and journalists.
