"Cloud Computing" is just another marketing pile of POO so that simple minded
people, like your CIO/CEO, will think that their behind the times and need to
spend more money on yet another pile of technology vaporware so they can add
the buzz word to their résumé's and company advertising. Cloud computing =
hosted apps, period. Been around for a long time making money for the likes of
Capgemini and others who have hosting centers that are getting empty due to
smaller hardware, lack of usage, etc..., namely the economic downturn. One of
these days we'll probably learn how to distinguish that old Ford in the new
paint job from the really new model. Though if marketers have their way, we
won't.
If you can't impress them with brilliance, smother then in .

Dateline September 21, 2009, Larry Ellison rants against cloud computing:

December 15, 2009, I receive an email from "Oracle Cloud Computing" inviting
me "to view a Webcast [from two Oracle VPs] on one of today's most important
technology trends-cloud computing. This emerging wave of technology
promises to deliver new levels of IT efficiency and responsiveness, elastic
scalability, and enterprise-class quality of service."
Wow, technology moves fast.
