JavaScript is not a good example of what "cloud computing" entails.  In fact, 
if JS were handled on the server, Arachne wouldn't be in need of JS support. 
The best current example of cloud computing is probably Google Apps, like 
Google Docs.  The software and data are stored on Google Data servers, and the 
user accesses the service via internet connection, without any need for running 
the software on their computing device nor saving data on their device.
As for Intel not allowing cloud computing to happen, why wouldn't they?  Intel 
can sell more high end CPUs to those entities supplying the services and 
running data centers.  Then sell consumers low end CPUs to run their "thin 
clients"...much like what Intel did in the late 1970s when many businesses 
rented "dumb terminals" from Intel, Compaq et al, and the terminals were 
connected via network interface over phone lines to central servers.

Sounds like another word for Internet. However, as the Internet
currently evolves, more and more of the processing is done on the
"terminals" instead of the servers. Javascript is a good example.

So it seems like the idea is already obsolete by today's standards.

Also, Intel will never allow this to happen. ;-)
