You are correct that in the end you are renting real servers that sit somewhere in some specific datacenter. We don't promote the "in the cloud means somewhere out there, you don't know where" image, it doesn't help anyone really. What you are not pointing out in your blog entry is that in the cloud it is soooo much easier to place services/machines in multiple locations that are very failure isolated from one-another.

Cloud computing would use a substantial amount of bandwidth. 3) Speeds aren't great enough yet. Once we all have fibers into our house, there wont be enough speed. 4) Not everyone needs the internet. Believe it or not come people use their computer for only pictures and word processing. These people will never need to connect to the internet. Why cloud computing will never completely take over:

I'm an anticipated fan of the CherryPal C100, which is being touted as a cloud computer. The CherryPal™ C100 desktop is about the size of a paperback book with the performance you would expect from a full-size desktop computer. It has Freescale’s triple-core mobileGT processor for multimedia performance and feature-rich user interfaces, while only consuming as much power as a clock radio. CherryPal uses 80 percent fewer components than a traditional PC, and because it has no moving parts, it operates without making a sound and will last 10 years or more. I am excited about how the CherryPal can bridge barriers to people who have not had access to computers or the internet because of money, fear, education or other challenges. I will be commenting on my experience of using it on my blog as soon as I get my own CherryPal C100! You can use CODE CPP206 to get your own CherryPal for $10 less than purchase price.
