Cloud computing is bogus. The day when everyone's apps and data are on
machines that aren't local is the day the Internet becomes third world.
My broadband connection failed again yesterday for a couple hours during
the Michael Jackson memorial blitz. How can so many in the industry be
pushing this nonsense is beyond me. However, competing against Microsoft
is a good idea as it may bring down their ridiculous prices. Anybody pee
od'd that Vista owners don't get a free upgrade to 7?

So I think google is hedgeing its bets that the world goes towards that
direction.
It's way too early to speculate but it will be quite interesting to see
how things pan out.
