a cloud outage might be annoying, but the data won't be lost.

The one that hit him in the head, causing hime to make asinine statements?

Of course clouds can and have lost data.

It's not so bad when it's only a backup of what you have on the disk but some commercial cloud software is used both to store data and run software. That is your computer is merely a remote terminal for somebody elses computer system up in the sky.

If that type of cloud goes down fatally you have suffered an irrevocable loss. Lets hope _they_ have a bullet proof backup. --
