1. Cloud Computing: If there's an Internet connection something involved, then it's definitely in the "cloud." "Cloud-Based" to something is even sketchier.
2. 4G Speeds: The malleability of 4G is reminiscent to when the "broadband" label was applied to dial-up "up to" speeds. Common wireless carriers aren't telling the truth!
3. Leading Vendor: If by "leading vendor" you mean a "seven-person staff, with five customers ) and a desperation to be acquired really, really soon," then I guess all those startups actually have every right to use the marketing slogan.
4. Online Security: Right now, there's a guy in Estonia sneering at your "security solution." Hey, maybe we'll fix this next decade?
5. Valued Partner: Except when that partner decides not to renew its licensing agreements, and then the vendor treats that valued partner the way Michael Corleone treated his valued brother Fredo.
6. Don't Be Evil: How about just a teensy, weensy bit evil when we feel like it, because we have good intentions?
7. Facebook Privacy: Facebook's privacy policies (automatic opt-in!) seem to change as often as Zuckerberg's T-shirts.
8. Thought Leader: If you've ever had a decent thought you Tweeted or shared on Facebook, that does not make you a thought leader (or guru or influencer or expert).
9. Generally Available: If a vendor's product is still having its "tires kicked" by a "select set of customers" has got more bugs than The Roach Motel, then it's not close to GA, folks.
10. Robust Solution: I just threw up in my mouth.
