You act like "cloud computing" is something different that the existing infrastructure & apps. When you go on your browser and log onto your "cloud computing" app, what DB do you think is running on the "cloud server"? #13 “LarryE is probably patently upset and naysaying the cloud concept on the basis that you can’t install or worse, license Oracle on it.”

We could one day have another "billion dollar bailout" to keep it from going under, too. Because information will eventually become the most valuable commodity, in the future. Not real estate. And the Cloud could hold it hostage, until it's CEOs get what they want. Platinum parachutes. The possible problem of Cloud Computing, is if it were to become too dominate.

Two totally rants. (1) John's rant is about the unreliability and unaccountability of internet based application servers and the networks they live on. (2) Larry's rant is about the term "cloud computing" being meaningless, and also describing what he has been pushing all along, thin-client/server model. Not at all. Two totally rants.
