The C.U.L.T. 2011 Top Ten List! Please add your suggestions here!
By Andrew Pollack on 10/20/2010 at 07:05 AM EDTEvery year, the back of the C.U.L.T. shirt (Certified Unofficial Lotusphere Tshirt) includes a top ten list of one kind or another. This year is no exception. The topic for this year is Cloud Computing, and I'm looking for the best ten one line items in the following category:
"Top Ten Things to Know about IBM in the Cloud"
By "Best" things, I'm looking for things that are clever, funny, snarky, witty, subversive, and eye catching without being overly wordy, slanderous or libelous in any actionable way. Please think and then post.

Sorry. Had to make an adjustment to handle the sheer volume of bad ideas.
