* Cloud applicatons == "software as a service" eg. business oriented web-based applications
* Cloud storage == "internet backup"
* Cloud computing == "timesharing" (that one takes you back!) although it's usually using virtualization platforms so it looks like you have your own private machine (oh, wait... how old is VM/CMS?)
There ain't nuttin' new under the sun.
