As anyone with a passing familiarity with world events knows, things in the Middle East are a little dicey. Alliances are shifting, a large percentage of the population is nostalgic for the “go-go” days of the 7th century, and some folks have to check the news to see who is running the country that day. The root causes of this dystopian state of affairs are many and varied, but I recently read an article that can only be seen as adding fuel to this region-wide fire via its assertion that the Middle East still awaits the public cloud.
