Just trying to put somewhat of a box around what the "cloud" is. Especially since we're getting (I feel) saturated with the term. I put Linode and Slicehost in a non-cloud category because you pay by the month and the options for programmatic instantiation are limted. But yeah, I acknowledge that the lines get blurry.

Why exclude slicehost and linode? they have APIs for starting/stopping slices.
