Full-disk encryption may just provide false sense of safety, as we store lots of data in the cloud, where even strong passwords do not guarantee that nobody will get access to the data.

You can store an encrypted file "in the cloud", though. A truecrypt volume with a keyfile should be essentially uncrackable. Of course, then you can only use the service as a dumb data storage.
