Hi Terry

I believe, the most serious challenge to adoption of cloud computing by finanacial service setor is the lack of universally recognized methodologies for security from data centre and cloud service providers.

I've heard about this conference to be held at Cambridge in July which aims to bridge the lack of trust and understanding of issues between the IT executives of financial companies and Cloud service providers, really loooking forward to it.Hope it helps the IT decision makers in financial service companies to navigate the often complex processes they require in the management of risk, sensitive data and privacy issues, and the control and compliance processes in a cloud environment.

M2M: Rise of the Machines? Not Yet
David Weldon
In the 1970 science fiction thriller
Colossus: The Forbin Project, two giant supercomputers from the United States and Soviet Union secretly join forces to take control of the collective nuclear might of the two countries. In the film, the two machines discover each other's existence, communicate back-and-forth, share their collective data, and cut their human creators out of the process. It is the ultimate example of machine-to-machine communications, or M2M.
