How Setting the Cloud Free Could Change the Internet Forever (Mashable)

[unable to retrieve full-text content]Mashable - When I imagine "the cloud" where most of my daily interactions with web services such as Facebook and Google compute, I think of a free-floating space -- complete with scalloped edges -- that isn't tied to a physical location.
In reality, however, cloud computing is very much tethered to the physical world, through football-field-sized warehouses of connected servers that enable it. A computing job, though it can be accessed from anywhere in the world, can't be easily moved from one warehouse to another. It can't even necessarily be moved from one area of a warehouse to another area of the same warehouse.
