Dell trademarks "Cloud Computing"

Dell has obtained a trademark on the term "Cloud Computing".

http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=77139082

People have been talking about computing in the cloud for years now, and network designers have been using a cloud icon to indicate "services on the internet out there somewhere" for over a decade.

This trademark needs to be killed, it born generic.
