Deloitte venture capitalist Mark Jensen strongly believes in cloud computing’s value proposition, but with some important caveats. “The problem we’ve had with the cloud is that a lot of fundamental technologies related to security and privacy don’t exist yet; making sure you’re not compromising someone’s personal information,” Jensen, managing partner for Deloitte’s National Venture Capital Services group, told InternetNews.com. “All that’s still be
