What the neck is the CLOUD?  And where is it?  The cloud is not actually a real cloud up in the sky.  Sorry.  The term cloud is a euphemism for the concept of renting hard drive space on someone else's computer.  These hard drives are stored in huge buildings (the size of Costco) called data centers.  Each building contains tens of thousands of hard drives.  These data centers are located all over the world.

• OneDrive is Microsoft's cloud service.
