Clara.io will be based on a subscription model like Github and Dropbox and it will be priced pretty aggressively, starting at $10 a month is our current idea, although if you do a lot of rendering we will have to charge more as it costs us a lot more. > Will you get cut off the chance to continue work? We can handle intermittent internet connections as long as the connection comes back before you close your browser window. We show you when the connection is down. > Cloud is evil... it means total control. Clever business idea for managers > it might sound, but I for my part dislike it. We are not looking for control, seriously we aren't. We are looking to make things simple, easy and cost effective. Really I want to make life easier for artists and software developers, that is all. -- Best regards, Ben Houston Voice: 613-762-4113 Skype: ben.exocortex Twitter: @exocortexcom http://Exocortex.com - Passionate CG Software Professionals.
