It seems like they stretching the definition of cloud a bit.

What happened to the cloud, it is almost meaningless now. I should say it means everything, which has no meaning.

It is like the new version of Multi-Media. It has pictures and text so its Multi-Media.

I'm going to go play on my personal cloud Multi-Media gaming platform now.

Right, with cloud services, the customer never touches a server and may not be aware of the nature of the servers being used.
That is the true nature of cloud computing: lack of understanding (easy to use) combined with unconditional trust (they hold your data, after all). <sarcasm> But putting it this way tend to spoil the hype. </sarcasm>
