I. FRONT AND CENTER
---------------------
1.Get Off My Cloud
By Mark Rasch
One of the features of Apple's device that appeals to me is the new MobileMe service, where you can "access and manage your email, contacts, calendar, photos, and files at me.com," according to Apple.
More companies, among them Microsoft and Google, already allow people to store information and use common services online -- or "in the cloud" -- leading analysts to refer to the entire trend as "cloud computing."

One of the features of Apple's device that appeals to me is the new MobileMe service, where you can "access and manage your email, contacts, calendar, photos, and files at me.com," according to Apple.
More companies, among them Microsoft and Google, already allow people to store information and use common services online -- or "in the cloud" -- leading analysts to refer to the entire trend as "cloud computing."
