Tech’s broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis.

    You know how to fix air conditioning? How about program an alarm system? These are side services a storage company provides their clients to enhance their main product. If uber is a taxi company and Netflix is just Blockbuster 2.0, the cloud is just a big Westies in the sky.
