IMHO, smaller, lighter, faster, cheaper, and user friendly make I-gadgets overwhelming. Well, there were traces of I-gadgets 30 or 50 years ago.
Cloud computing is cliche nowadays, however, comparing the slogan of "computing services as easy as electricity facility" 30 years ago with the clouding services in AMAZON/M$/GOOGLE... is not fair. Yes, now we have enough computing resources (fast and cheap Internets, data centers, J2EE/.Net, application servers and databases) to be abused in the name of cloud computing. All of this has been predicted by Moore's Law. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
