http://ebiquity.umbc.edu/blogger/2009/11/10/can-cloud-computing-be-entirely-trusted/ EBB is the ebiquity research group\\\'s blog at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). We focus on technologies that facilitate the design, implementation and control of distributed, intelligent information systems -- mobile and pervasive computing, ad hoc networking, multiagent systems, knowledge representation and reasoning, and the semantic web. As the tides of technology ebb and flow, we hope the good ideas wash up on our beach and the bad ones drift back out to sea.

Or rather push only that data to cloud in which they are okay, even if security is compromized a bit. May be due to legal complications involved, cloud vendors may not really be able to commit themselves to security of user's data. But competition will definately force them to deal with end-users data with utmost care.
