"These days, everybody's talking about cloud computing - the notion that computing's future lies in web-based applications and services and not in software tied to the desktop ... Yet still, some programs remained tied to the desktop with seemingly no plans to move elsewhere. iTunes is one of those programs."

Rather than examining the reasons that iTunes has stayed out of the 'cloud', the author is assuming the cloud is always a Good Thing.

I wonder how long it would take to sync your 160GB iPod from 'the cloud'.

Go for it, anything that benefits the consumer benefits the economy.
