I always wondered who built those lairs for evil overlords. How was the pay for that? Did you have minions? Did you get to kill minions? or how about onions?

Cloud and Mobile first are issues we deal with constantly. Most of the work I deal with is disconnected and always will be (unless we go to satelite connectivity, but that's not on the current horizon). I don't like that strategy anyways, but it's such a non-starter for us that it barely matters what I think.
