Excepts from an (imaginary) interview:
Q: Is cloud storage more powerful than local storage?
RMS: No, no, quicker, easier, more seductive.
Q: But surely the cloud offers valuable services?
RMS: Syncing. Heh. Incremental Updates. Heh. A hacker craves not these things. Once you go down the Cloud path, forever will it dominate your destiny.
Q: So it's a matter of vendor lock in?
RMS: Remember, a hacker's strength flows from the source!
