from Open Office.

6. Cloud computing
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud computing
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing as a service
rather than a product, whereby shared resources, software,
and information are provided to computers and other devices
as a utility (like the electricity grid) over a network (typically
the Internet).
Cloud computing entrusts, typically centralized, services with
your data, software, and computation on a published
application programming interface (API) over a network. It
has a lot of overlap with software as a service (SaaS).
