Mashable says that the United States government is about to get into cloud computing in a big way. They've just launched Apps.gov:

Apps.gov makes cloud-based IT services (which includes Google Apps) available for purchase to all federal agencies and is an all-in-one store front designed to make the purchase and adoption of cloud computing services common place.

The Apps.gov mall is a pretty impressive marketplace for federal cloud computing services. The modern IT store includes business applications, cloud IT services, productivity apps, and even social media apps for the extra trendy federal agencies.

There is even a little cartoon on the Apps.gov home page showing why cloud computing is a good idea. I hope the government launches a huge password protection initiative simultaneously with this cloud computing initiative. But on the entertainment side, I can't wait to see what the Teabagger response to increased government cloud computing will be; I have created an artist's conception to the right.
