   The triangle is upside down. The infrastructure (the hardware cloud hosting) should be a singularity. The cloud is one. A singular point of computing, not a set of computers. See what I mean?

   One other thing, some one owns the cloud, so who owns it?

   And we have problems with hackers stealing people’s identities and account info now!
   I now have less chance of my info being stolen because I control my computer. It’s really quite hard to hack into a computer that is shut down or not connected to the net.
   Maybe all you geeks need to get your heads out of the clouds and come back down to earth (the real world).
   Spend some time on eliminating opportunities for hackers and virus, malware & etc first. Or isn’t there enough money in that project?

   but i thought the climate is changing is just because of these clouds .

   You do, just like a standard setup. But instead of buying, it’s more like a really seamless renting process, where your site/other services automatically start renting more physical servers when you need them. And you only pay for the server time that you actually use. This makes it vastly more efficient for everybody.

   Random internet people. Who you pay to use their services. Like regular hosting. Lots of people are gonna be hosting cloud servers, all you gotta do is sign up and fork over a little cash.

    Cloud computing raises the stakes for non-transparent monopolization –a point you dismiss or downplay. To monopolize oil, Standard Oil bought the railroads. Similarly, a well-capitalized company may monopolize the hosting, ISP and server-to-server access aspects of the cloud.

    Perhaps, but I doubt it, simply because anyone can set up some air conditioning and servers in their basement and voila! A cloud server! And when there’s tons of small server sets, monopolization becomes mighty sluggish. That’s less of a tech thing, and more of an economics thing.

    Of course, I could be wrong, so don’t go holding back arguments. I go now to do more research.

    You only pay in the form of ads, which can be subverted with adblocking scripts in most competent browsers. The people who run apps and services on the cloud are the ones who pay real cash. Of course, the privacy issue is still legit, so it’s more a matter of choosing which parts of your computing experience you would rather cloudsource for the sake of convenience… not unlike how the internet already works.

    Cloud computing sucks ass, and is a bad idea.

    One only has to look at the T-mobile Sidekick fiasco with devices not working and all the lost data, to see what a lousy thing cloud computing is.

    Sure use the cloud to backup data, but keep a local copy as well. And perform the computing locally.

    I don’t get this question. How is the concern any different if you have your code on a traditional host provider? You have your own rack you say? Well, you can also make your own cloud if you’re concerned about that.

    He talks about gmail, but actually gmail sometimes gets down, how can it be posible if gmail is using cloud computing?

    This will put an end to PCs/Macs
    That means no more HP, Dell and other hardware brands.

    Cloud computing is evil and must never expand into the consumer market. I want my PC not a PC set somewhere on earth and having it stream video to me.
