Sometimes an untruth is so breathtaking in its audacity that you have to at least admire the chutzpah that gave it birth. Take, for example, IBM's claim that it now does $7 billion in "cloud revenue," making it the world's "largest cloud provider," as a spokesperson told GigaOm's Barb Darrow.
While IBM is a credible cloud provider, its claims are wishful thinking, at best.
