At CES 2012, Senior Editor of CNET Scott Stein chats with our co-founder and CPO Jed Putterman about the latest in cloud technology and services.

"The good news is, I don't have to explain to people what cloud is anymore," says Putterman, of the past few years' rapid change in the field of cloud technology.

In this interview, he and Stein discuss a bevy of recent cloud developments, including hardware vs. software, the abundance of information we're putting out there (for instance: new technology that monitors your workouts and shares the results with your friends), and the confusion that abounds in a landscape where the definition of a 'cloud' is still up in the air.

On this last point, Putterman is glad to demystify: "For us, cloud is just, 'make it available anywhere.' Wherever you are, as long as you have an internet connection, it shouldn't matter where it's physically being stored."
