With all the "cloud" functions out there today, why is it that someone can't run a cloud server that allows users to login anonymously and use a browser to surf the Internet, or, use email, as an anonymous user? You get a login name, but no other identification, and a password, then just do your online thing, whatever it is, with no record of where you login from. I wonder if anyone has something like that already? Thoughts???
