Google barely has any market share and Apple has no cloud platform at all 
I'm really not seeing where you're going with this.

I am kind of confused.. With global warming worsening every years, shouldn't we have more clouds, instead of less?!

2000 to the day I die...
I don't want you to store MY data anywhere, thanks. If I am in the mood, I might give you something voluntarilly in exchange to a free service, but only if I want to use it so badly.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

And why don't you want others to store your data for you?
It saves you all the trouble of buying a server, installing the necessary software, securing it, maintaining it, etc.
The cloud is faster, easier, more secure and probably cheaper.
At least for your average web application.

A web is something that works for and in the internet, I would probably pack it in the cloud.

I think we are speaking about different types of cloud.

I'm talking about cloud from a programmer's point of view.
I'm not interested in saving some documents and images in the cloud, I'm interested in hosting applications, scaling up servers dynamically, spinning up databases, doing CI/CD, all that.
Azure and AWS are currently the biggest cloud platforms by far.
I'm currently using Azure and I love it.
As someone who doesn't know how to install a server I can still host applications, databases, and a whole lot more

Is the term 'cloud' set to drift from enterprise IT terminology? | Citrix Blogs[^]
Quote: A standout finding among the IT leader respondents is that 26% believe the term ‘cloud’ will be obsolete by 2025. Of those who don’t see a future for the term, 56% predict that cloud technology will be so embedded in the enterprise that it will no longer require separate terminology. Additionally, one third sense that in the future employees will simply refer to cloud-native apps, such as Salesforce, Workday and SAP Concur by name, and with little consideration for where the app or data is hosted. Above all, it seems we are reaching a point where enterprise cloud services, be it public, private or hybrid, will be so well-established that talk about ‘cloud’ will soon be an irrelevant signifier.
The possible extinction of the term ‘cloud’ is also mirrored in the next generation of workers, who will begin entering the workforce in 2021. Whilst 83% of 12 to 15-year-olds recognise that ‘cloud’ describes where they, as consumers, store their photos and music (when it is put like that), and two-thirds say they would regularly or sometimes use the term cloud with their peers, as many as 30% don’t really know what the term means in isolation. One third also say that they never use the term ‘cloud’ outside of ICT classes at school.
Caveat Emptor.

I keep everything on my own "cloud". I have a cloud of floppy disks that I call my own "cloud". It works quite well for all files less than 1.44mb - which is most of them really.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Windows 10 now uses machine learning to stop updates installing when a PC is in use - The Verge
You know, why don't they just let us decide? Why do we need "machine learning"?
“We heard you, and to alleviate this pain, if you have an update pending we’ve updated our reboot logic to use a new system that is more adaptive and proactive,”
Oh great. So 1) another update to get the new "reboot logic" and 2) no, you didn't hear us. If you want to alleviate the pain, cure the disease, don't mask the symptoms!

Which is nowadays exactly what happens. Windows re-enables the updater.
