  • Seems like the cloud will only work with new users. Those familiar with having their own computer, not so much. I installed a cloud server for eyeos and now what? Who would use it? I have a eeepc with ubuntu on it with an 2gb of file space. I cab ssh to another computer for storage. It just seems the cloud will benefit the computer illiterate and companies looking to fire IT people. I mean I'm just saying.....

  • ALL THUMB S UP! the basics! b$ 4 ... use YOUR OLD software! b$ 4hacking = TRACKING!

  • ALL THUMB S UP!

  • Right now we are using Internet 1

    this is Internet as we know it!

    Internet 2 is slow phase to HI-Jack the internet CLOUD COMPUTING! Microsoft is trying to sell this, DON"T BUY IT!! Unless you want to just through your computer out the window! You will now hear this term more and more! It is a internet monopoly! Look up “ Internet 2” on youtube Major Internet companies are Lobbying w/google spread the word GOOGLE AND Other Servers will take our entire free internet away! You've been Warned!

  • @barrettarq, Internet 2 is the same but faster and is due to the fact that there are to many flaws to the old one. Hackers are disrupting networking for buisnesses so blame them for the change. It will be more secure and will work like a new OS and then eventually get bogged down with hackers because if someone knows how to use something they will find a way around stuff! lol

    It will take a while to put in place so don't worry just yet!

  • @WakkieRob1 That is what they want you to think.... every time the government want you to surrender your rights to their given securities... they have something up their sleeves like this, to make most people vulnerable and put the blame on hackers etc... this is why steve jobs, eric schmitt, and bill gates attend the "bilderberg meeting" in Switzerland and in past bilderberg events! it is in plain view! look at all the evidence at "PayForFreedom .(COM"

  • The next big trend sounds nebulous, but it's not so fuzzy when you view the value proposition from the perspective of IT professionals. Cloud computing is at an early stage, with a motley crew of providers large and small delivering a slew of cloud-based services, Check the Nick Carr's video on The Clouds Roll in: An Afterword to Nick Carr's Book The Big Switch

  • Google chromebooks.

  • your an irish idiot!!!

    the glitter of an operating system is what makes it an intuitive interface....this is why apple and microsoft are billionaires and not you.

  • Well, he was right. We are streaming videos and TV over the internet today in high definition. Check out zattoo. The browser is the killer application.

  • As I'm adjusting materials and lights using Autodesk Maya software along with the Vray for Maya renderer, the software is "path tracing" the scene using every single available CPU core (doesn't matter how many cores, it's 100% utilization nonstop). 3D work also generates hundreds of GB of data. A typical production scene renders on the command line with over 32 GB of RAM usage; it can be much higher if the scene is more detailed. The system resources are mine and I know how they're being used.

  • I'm completely against this "centralized outsourcing of computing resources", and I'm in general against things that take away control from myself. All of my data is on my own personal hard drives. Those files are MINE and don't belong to a corporation. Plus due to the amount of data I work with, it has to be local and in my control. Relying on the local power plant is enough, I don't want to rely additionally on some satellite in a high orbit just to do even the most basic computer tasks.

  • Accessing your files and programs from a remote machine to a home server is fine. I like this and have no problem with it, but to be FORCED to rely on hundreds of lines of cabling then all of a sudden a huge earthquake in some remote country might destroy the servers you're relying on? This is just 1 out of millions of examples of why cloud computing is a bad idea; it creates a "single point of failure" not just for me but for (possibly) millions of other people.

  • I think cloud computing is the worst idea ever to come along in technology; sure it's great for some things. A corporation centralizing it's workers tasks, I get that, but for the whole worldwide community, including home users? Worst idea ever. First off, I'm in control of my system (or the local network of systems when they're batch processing some tasks), I know exactly the resources being used and am able to dynamically allocate resources while tasks are running.

  • In my line of work, 3D animation and 3D rendering, a 48-core server is easily at 100% (not sorta 100%) for weeks (24/7, no downtime) as it's processing the data of a project into 32-bit floating point precision image files. Oh and each 2048x1152 frame contains about 150 MB of data so a 2 minute animation easily gets into the hundreds of GB range. This is not counting the hundreds of other GB for the project itself. Now let me tell you what I think about cloud computing.

  • Personally, I like having local hardware and software.

  • Plus. I personally think things like smartphones streaming through major network is a step towards a mass information exchange. Everything has to contribute basically. Social network website are contributing to this factor also.

  • that guy talkin to chris is an idiot, steaming doesnt need large bandwith LOL

  • all i know is that i'm allergic to slim jims.......

  • ok that part at the end upset me. when he started talking about filestreams i could tell he barely understood what he has talking about.

    yes all file io is stream based,its a stream going from your hard drive to your memory, and yes you can turn that into a stream going from an online source to your computer,but no you cannot just use them interchangeably.

    to understand why he is wrong i shall first touch up on the latency hierarchy of your computer.the slowest thing in your OS is your hdd(cont)

  • (cont) after that comes your ram, then your cpu cache. the cpu cache is the fastest memory available. from the computer's prospective its waiting for some time on the ram, and if it could do everything from cpu cache it would. the next slowest, your memory. this is for things that dont fit in the cache. usually the cache will have a pointer to some point in memory to get the rest of it. the bulk of your variables are here.

    then your hdd, the slow beast which is only good for persistance memory

  • (cont) and storage of things not being used right now. important stuff isnt put here. file streams are used because this is too slow to just load straight into memory.

    now the cloud adds another layer of slow memory much lower than the hard drive. and no amount of improvements to internet speed will get past this simple truth you are limited by the laws of physics. until you can make an internet that works on quantum entanglement, the cloud will always be the slowest memory possible.

  • @tuseroni You said it. Finally someone who knows what they're talking about and realizes how idiotic the idea is of "globalizing cloud computing" for even the most basic of tasks a local system needs to be doing for the user in control; you. Relying on a SATA2 cable with average transfer rates of about 150 MB on a decent hard drive is already slow enough, but "the cloud" would never be as fast as a typical hard drive. It would be worse than a system running a full page file with no real memory.

  • (cont) now imagine your os needed some important file and it had to grab from this slow medium. its already slow just grabbing from the hard drive now it has to move over this slower medium and wait to get it before it can proceed to the next thing, which may be getting another file, or making a change.

    you can do a lot in parallel but some problems demand a serial solution. and the OS especially needs serial solutions.

  • @tuseroni This is highly unlike cloud computing in which systems are shared and in one instance you might have less system resources than later; productivity can't be estimated (for example, you might prepare to work again the next day on your 3D scene that requires about 40 GB of RAM to edit and is now refusing to load because "the cloud" is busy tonight and you've been allocated far less memory". This is one reason why all my work is LOCAL and I won't have it any other way.

  • (cont) it needs to know that your printer drivers are installed BEFORE it checks the state of the printer for instance. the hard drive is a MUST.most your OS stuff should be in ram honestly,if not ram at least on a hard drive. not out in the cloud.

    now there is something for having it automatically backed up in the cloud, when i make a web application i put things into memory and keep interaction with the internet to a minimum. most stuff is done on the client side and only backups happen online

  • @tuseroni They say "in the cloud" as if cloud computing is the best thing in computer science since the transistor. Cloud computing is fine for a corporate environment, but not at all for home users as an OS. I have a feeling people who really don't use the computer for more than internet browsing understand why cloud computing is a horrible idea; it's fine for email and certain other things through an internet browser, but to do away with the OS as we know it? How could anyone endorse that?

  • (cont) and that is generally the way one MUST do such things. the internet is not reliable, it could get cut off for some reason, is could be going slow, someone else could be stealing the bandwidth. it could get cut off in the middle of a transfer. you have to account for these things and simply pushing file streams to internet streams is just silly. there is a place for the cloud, but it is not anything CLOSE to a replacement for local files on a local machine.

    /rant

  • @tuseroni Not only is the internet unreliable, but even worse, a cloud server cluster would be a single point of failure for potentially millions of people. I do 3D animation and 3D rendering; each project consumes around 500 GB of disk space, and a 48-core server is easily at 100% CPU utilization nonstop for weeks (24/7) as the full HD frames are rendered, generating hundreds of more GB. It's all local too, I would NEVER do what I do relying entirely on remote systems.

  • True. I would prefer to have an operating system and not a "cloud" computer.

  • i think every operating system windows or any is bullshit it should be the Basic in a operating system not to put any off there bullshit in it like media player r movie maker or whatever it should be on the user to put what he want they should just make it as a Basic operating system and let the user put what he like

  • Google os = NWO

  • There are a few pros to this idea, I think... But for me the cons are WAY too many, and much too harsh. I like to have my data, and my harddrive full of it sitting right next to me, safe in my computer. If I need to, I could still unplug my internet and not have my computer freeze up.

    Using an O/S that's being hosted online will be a big bottleneck. I agree with Chris, 10-20 years before the internet can even be up to par enough to give us a responsive O/S. I wont be using it though. ^_^

  • @Blivia said "here are a few pros to this idea, I think... But for me the cons are WAY too many, and much too harsh. I like to have my data, and my harddrive full of it sitting right next to me, safe in my computer. If I need to, I could still unplug my internet and not have my computer freeze up." That pretty much sums up the cloud computing thing. I myself work with a lot of data and it's nice to know it's not sitting in a remote server cluster in a far off country; it's right here.

  • cloudshare is powered by VMware vSphere I know because it crashed on my computer, and the vmWare logo popped up on the screen. This means anyone could make a cloud server. Anyone that wants cloud computing as the future as a home uses is crazy. Most software hacks , keygen ... and so on ask that you disconnect the internet , and this means say good by to pirated software, and games... You can't disconnect the internet if everything is on the internet.

  • F*ck cloud computing, people need to be responsible for their own data and info and keep a physical artifact of this in their homes and offices.... why make your entire stuff online? its become that much easier to be a victim of hacking.

  • glits and flashiness works for the first week when you get a computer, then you are used to the looks and you start getting annoyed about speed-times and other problems ...

    I for one, miss crash-proof Ms-Dos.

  • An OS on the cloud will be a hype for maybe a couple of years, but then everybody will run back to the on disk OS, because NOBODY will want to have their personal stuff on someone Else's computer....

  • @hectorae86 Furthermore, I am a Microsoft Certified Programmer, so i know a good deal about making programs (not only in windows).

    To build a program in Visual Basic, C# C++ or whatever language, at LEAST 80% of your program, is already in Windows, otherwise you'd have to make every single button or form all from scratch.

    That said, how am I gonna make programs for Google Chrome OS ?(for example) that's right, I won't, there will be no market for 3rd party software, or at least not a big one.

  • CLOUD = SLAVERY

    PC = Personal Control

  • If Window 7 could boot in 7 sec. or less than google will have nothing to worry about.

    But it is true, I have most of my Residential Customers do nothing more than Start their Windows machines wait 2-5 min. only to click on Google Chrome to surf the web. I do feel that we are moving to an online OS soon. But if Windows can't give us a boot to internet in 7-10 seconds then they will loose the Consumer Market.

  • I want and am waiting for cloud computing! IT IS the future. by the way ur local machine is not that secure as is..enterprises have or can have far greater security measures then you and i can afford.

  • If the operating system is run completely from the cloud, then your systems specs wouldn't matter. If you had a smart phone with say a 4g connection, you'd be able to work in a PC or Mac environment through the cloud.

    Internet connectivity would be the main varying factor. Bandwidth is the future of computing! The faster your connection the more speed for computing.

    In my opinion it's a double sided blade.

  • If everything is to be done from a central computer ... a single infected USB virus would blow your entire system away

  • unix was the first cloud OS

  • Cloud computing is for computers that need to be deployed on a large scale and where a normal computer hardware investment for an organization is too huge.

    Cloud computing can help businesses!.. So you dumb farts who have no idea of the application of Cloud Computing can just shut the FUCK UP.

  • @megadeath8317 Cloud computing has already been going on it is just hosting with another name. That name is pay for what you use. So basically we give you a server and that server is hooked to the net duh...and we monitor how much it gets used. Cloud computing isn't bad, but if they try and lock it down some how like Comcast is then it is not freedom its a monopoly and I think that is what everyone is worried about. We love the internet as it is. What is the current problem with the net?

  • @KingGoddard Cloud computing is too far for home users with a good computer and internet. There's no need for cloud computing at home.. Cloud computing is being targeted at markets where people cannot afford good computer hardware.. For example, small institutions, non-profit organizations, villages and such.. Cloud computing will certainly benefit these markets. Its how a good eco system can be built with all providers.

  • i will never turn to cloud computing never.

  • @rdavian youre on youtube right now eh? thats a cloud os. boo yah.

  • I hate when people talk out of their ass about thingsthey know nothing about.

  • I wonder if the bozo on the phone knows that you can run the OS strictly text based if he doesn't like the GUI. The big downside to Cloud OS is that if you don't have the internet or any way to get onto it via a wifi adapter etc, then you're screwed. or if the net is slow, then your 'computer' is slow etc. I'd rather not put my rig that close to the source of greyware and hacking a holes. I'll stick with a Hard drive based OS thanks

  • Google has more infrastructure(such as server racks) dedicated for the internet than any other company... Google own like 3% of the internet infrastructure worldwide with like Yahoo, Facebook, Myspace, etc. only at like 1% or barely 1% EACH... everybody else only has like .0001% internet infrastructure... Google is Huge and will monopolize everything in like 50 years...

  • This Irish ejit loves the sound of his own voice .... 'if you got nothing to say ..... ""SAY IT LOUD"""

  • Google ChromeOS

  • Internet for 15 GBP a month, streaming HD Movies...

    Video is old less than 3 years :-)

  • once they start implanting rfid tags in our wrists at birth, we'll be able to walk up to any info-hub and stream our desktop

  • does he even know what the fuck he's talking about?

  • this is great...so true..i agree its still a ways away...google is gonna rule the world...they know more about you then you know about yourself...they probably will mail you a little box for free that hooks up to a monitor that gives you everything you want in a computer but its in a cloud...here comes the day were you will NEVER hear or see an advertisement that wont be about the thing you want most at that second...the collapse from technology is aproaching

  • isnt the isp compays running out ip's?

  • I'm suprised they diden't mention play station or xbox 360. like the smart phone they also have an o.s. that play's movies, games but also you can go on the web and look shit up. chat with yer friends save scores and dl other games. but i cant rly see the PC dieing out, even if this so called 'future OS' kicks in full.

  • I don't think I would like not having the data on my pc!!!

  • Without a doubt it will be cloud based. Google Chrome OS is supposed to be files to connect to the Internet for everything, not just your everyday browsing. It's as cool as thinking about Holographic TV if that happens you would be involved and I think that is the best part about anything really.

  • The future of computing will be the same as using interactive TV, a convergence devolution back into the mainframe-dumb terminal, I'd say at least 10 years away. I've noticed here in Ireland that small to medium sized business are ditching the LAN and connecting to the cloud to store all their customer info etc, the LAN is disappearing, there will be a future for the PAN (Personal Area Network) though. Interactive TV is the best reference now, to see the future.

  • & moreovr in India,d speed of net is not more dan 512kbps for norml users...hw m i goin' 2 play my fav. games & multitask simul.!!![:(]

  • I'll tell you what. For my part, I will stop using computers all together if it goes completely cloud base.

  • Thats going to limit our freedom over the internet if that ever happens. I seriously doubt this is going to happen anytime soon. The internet will be no more if that happens.  Thats just an opportunity for corporations to commercialize the whole net.

  • Wait....Don't you need an Operating System TO use a Web Browser :S

    How would they get around that....

  • @xUKRxRaMpAgE

    There would be some sort of completely stripped down, or basic operating system that would connect you to the internet. Once you're on, you would login to your Operating system online. ^_^

  • They can put the Sun where the cloud dosen't shine. Or maybe it's the other way around. lol I'll alawys keep a software based O.S wheather it will connect to there Fruit loop net or not.

  • There is a platform for every device, yet we are becoming a more open minded community so when Microsoft puts limits in there software it no longer goes unnoticed nor does our freedom and the fact that our right to do what we want when we want on our computers is being taken away on a Microsoft OS, hence OpenSource is the last stance and is the future for our our digital freedom. Who the hell is going to buy the stuff your talking about with the power of open source freedom

  • NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ITS TOOOOOOOOOOOO SLOW

    NO ONLINE

    KEEP OS ON PC

    WINDOWS , LINEX, MAC OSX

    THIS WILL NOT GO WILL

  • at the end the day i want a finished beautiful os that works

  • 5 years or less, no way, I agree. Honestly I don't think local storage and execution is going away any time soon. You have to take into account mobility, and how that is progressing now, like embedded OS like you mentioned. The reliability of a data connection to cloud servers through intermediate servers to hop through isn't good enough to run an OS. With the lowering cost of hardware, we might not ever need a cloud OS; remote storage maybe, remote execution is only logical for mobile app.

  • the irish guy was right!!!!

  • i think so this will be happen soon may be google do so or any other company

    it is more better if all this will be in more people hand

  • I like Google Chrome, but believe me, Google Chrome OS is a damn bloody shit! My data is not in my hands, all my data is extremely confidential, so why would I hand it over to some cloud computing Google FREAKS!!

    Really it sucks....

    Linux is better than Google OS!

  • Cloud Computing is very powerful!

  • This Chris guy is a spastic. You need a OS to bring up the hardware, be it in a PROM or whatever, you need to bring up the hardware into a known state. Also, the network bandwidth is becoming less of a problem with raw processing power and compression algorithms and binary diff algorithms.

    Linux is a sh** kernel, if you know anything about code. Take a look at DragonflyBSD!

  • Operating System is dead ?? HAHAHA.. Thats a good one.. And in my opinion people will ALWAYS want their OWN OS on THEIR PC not in the cloud.. Would you trust YOUR files on a server in Keiv or Madrid or New York or Dublin ?? I DON'T THINK SO ! Install Solaris and stop this stupid debate.

  • The point where this guy loses me is early on in the bit where he demonstrates he simply has no clue what an Operating Systrem actually consists of. Both of these speakers basically don't know what they're on about. This is naive opinion, not informed by many important facts.

  • As I write this comment, the video we watched is 2 1/2 years old. We know the future of the OS exists on the internet. Questions were will Google or Linux be the leader in this. Now I will ask, how will Facebook fair and for experts, what is the current tech view of clouds? I think much has changed since this video.

  • very slow i had my fiber line in back in 06 2010 now and they only just started making ad's for fiber optics its silly, hopfully google can pull this off with the 1GB speeds.

  • so chris, what about Chrome OS?

    You are right about Google, and He is right about linux because chrome OS is based on linux

  • why would people want the operating system online? That would defeat the purpose of having an operating system

  • @MrJoeMontano And if it's online why not have everything (RAM, CPU...) online and use an account to access it.

    We have computers, let's not go "Cloud".

  • The population doesn't need a local o/s to use "the computer" because they will linked to "the cloud computer". They need a screen, some input and output devices, and a network to do their processing, storage and communication on. The local o/s will be defeated by "the cloud computer".

  • @MrJoeMontano basically its for those who arent extremly into computers ahaha its about uniting the masses more than anything. if you are really into computers youll be the one running the freaking server from your house. :P

  • @MrJoeMontano the purpose of having an os is to facilitate communication between the user and the machine as well as manage the internal tasks of the computer. why not have these services in a central, secure location which follows you to whatever machine you are on?

  • @nofaithchild This is the most retarded idea ever. The minute you give up your PERSONAL COMPUTER and switch to some cloud or integrated service is the minute you give up the Internet and all the freedom it has offered and change it into another monopoly like when the radio was invented and when the television was invented. Wake up this is just another scheme to make money. It wont revolutionize anything and it wont make you some super human. Please I respectfully ask you to look deeper.

  • @MrJoeMontano True, true. And what about computer gaming?

  • @WindowsVideoArchive see onlive gaming system

  • @MrJoeMontano It might. Look at what the technologies do now days. They are becoming more and more wireless. The speeds of internet are getting faster around the world. People upload massive amount of files online. A lot of softwares can be actually put online for use. For example like google apps. Small things are the spark. You never know what the future operating system might be.

  • What a stupid idea. Streaming anything extra, that does not need to be streamed, is just plain stupid. If this goes through, it is nothing more then a $CHEME. Why would WE want our OS to be removed from our PCs, for an online one. For example. I bought my friend a game for Christmas. In order to play, he has to register online. No online = no gameplay, even though the game is not an online game. I'm sure companies don't like to see lost customers.? <This is where I see this heading.

  • choke on ur nuts irish man!!!

  • before this can really happen the whole worlds needs to be online

  • A total move to Cloud Computing is NOT a good thing. Check out my video on Cloud Computing - why it is a BAD idea.

  • Just remember it is all still up in the air at the moment and there is no definitive idea of how this system would or could work. Your belief that it will be completely subscription based is quite possible however it is not necessarily how Cloud Computing will work. This is a concept that could work well. Take for example if there was no on going subscription and the cloud was used to hold apps and an os and your box held all the data you saved. I can't see anything wrong with that concept.

  • I understand, and respect your explanation, however; here's the problem with that particular possible out-come. The concept you describe would STILL require an internet subscription to modify or use your personal data. If (said ISP) did not allow you service - you'd have NO OS (the basic instruction used to operate your computer). Thus rendering any personal data useless. It's puting control of your personal activities in the hands of corporate America. I don't want that!!!...

  • Yeah point taken mate. What I am really referring to is the concept of having an os whether it be 7 or OS X or Linux but instead of using precious hard drive space with apps you purchase or as you say subscribe online for the apps but have the choice to retain you data say a word doc for example on your own pc or mac. I do not agree with the concept of a basic box that is just a portal to the web and if the concept your talking about is how it all ends up then yes I am scared. cheers mate

  • hes irish yeow

  • this guy was talking abuot chromeos and basicly it already here..

  • Yea I'v heard pple are using it right now, I'v only heard. I have yet too see for my self..

  • Mac OS will never die!!!!!

  • @utubestrong Mac is already dead but you can't see it cause it makes you blind ...

  • streaming an os on the Internet will be the future but not for all people

    a stable operating system is always going to be needed for other things either than the Internet its an aright concept but its thought up with the wrong fundamentals ..think about it one hacker could mess up alot of peoples lives dnt make it easier for them!

  • If they make everything into the cloud Our Privacy will be gone forever!! your computer will be going to a 3rd party corporal company / goverment (google) all your information banking details documents, photos. what if a global failure happens, telecommunications go down! what then, it will happen just a matter of time! what is this world heading too?

  • Why would you stream everything... thats like unnecessary use of data traffic > thus electricity... download something, use it. simple

  • Chrome OS

  • Chrome OS is a big FAIL like their browser ...

    Google is very good in html & php but not asm so get the F@ck out of operating systems and give us more privacy. Damn ...

    Recently i've created an e-mail on google and it asked my mobile phone number for verification ... WTF ???

    They are like China growing and growing until they will rule the world cause they will hold all private information on their servers witch will be offered for sure cause remember nothing is uncrackable ...

  • @RAZcracK I use G00GL3 CHR0M3, lol.

    It's quite good

  • @RAZcracK lol ever used google chrome?

  • I've used chrome browser. . . = FAIL

    I haven't used chrome OS and i won't cause i refuse to publish and store my personal info.

  • @RAZcracK chrome browser is MAJOR WIN!

  • @masterchief497 wtf are you talking about ...Please give me a break !!! I am a web developer , right now i own 4 websites up and online so allow me to know something more about browsers and their functions ...

    P.S. I am sure when you read this comment you will not be using Chrome Browser ...

    Everyone reading this comment : If you are using chrome browser thumbs down me otherwise thumbs up me ... (Just a poll)

  • @RAZcracK dude, as a web developer, shouldn't you be mad on Microsoft's IE rather than Google's Chrome? Something just doesn't seem right there...

  • @RAZcracK your right but chrome browser is fast and its usually what i use but it does have alot of problems. its not something you should be using as your primary browser. its not a total fail its more of a casual thing. also im not sure about a Google OS B/C Ive never used it but i assume negatively based on their browser.

  • yes, exactly... you have it right.... exactly right

  • Is there a reason why dumb terminals never took off in the 90's?

  • Cloud computing... Very real idea, that will be implemented in near future. More computers linked together, more computing power. CERN and LHC does that today. The problem is if you put the OS on the Internet and not in your computer, what happens when you are out of coverege area, and you have no signal? Simple! Your computer will stop functioning! So my point is that the OS will allways stay on the computer, but compute in the cloud.

  • You brought up a valid point.

    1. limit on bandwidth (until this is no longer an issue)

    2. balance between cloud and local computing. Furthur more who can achieve the best by bringing out the positives to cloud and local computing while limiting the negitives of local and cloud computing.

    At the end of the day do I want someone like google (or who ever) holding all my data, control, and knowledge?

  • wth? so whats that dude is saying is that he dont want to have sex with a hot girl, but he wants to have sex with a ugky girl? bith have good personality.

    PS i disable the sounds in windows, they are annoying

  • they are correct. the only reason that they have newer os's then dos is gaming. now with systems like on-live gaming can be done over a cloud, so there is almost no need for modern operating systems since most other tasks can go online like music players, word editors, and even photo editing

  • Does that guy chris is talking to know that we are on earth?

  • Even as we get closer to getting fibre into every home, would that still be enough bandwidth to "boot your OS from the internet"? I wonder how much bandwidth you would need to boot your OS from the internet..

  • Ok. You aren't going to boot your OS from the internet. You will interface with your processor over the internet. Your connection will send input and your monitor will recieve output like on a cable channel. Their will be citywide or regional mainframes. This is what will happen, because people don't care about privacy. Personally I find the idea appalling. When I am not using the internet I want it off so people can't steal my ideas, invade my privacy, government rooting out dissidents

  • (continued from below) --- etc. Maybe you will upload a browser but thats it. Look. Imagine every word document, spreadsheet, data plot... whatever, that you author being stored in public. Every time you interact with software it is observed. If you play command and conquer your strategy will be observable by Uncle Sam. You name it. It is complete insanity. I DEMAND local storage, processing and the ability to DISCONNECT at will.

  • remote desktop nuff said

  • Very good points Rcbquark. I've never actually thought about it from that stand point. It seems like that would almost be a hackers dream to have everything sent over the net.

  • i bet they can spell...

    "this two people" you dip shit, if your guna be rude, at least do it right! lol

  • don't know what the downrating is for.... eventually, everyone will have to connect to the internet to boot their computer beyond bios, but by that same token, security will improve much in that time frame. unfortunately, data loss will never be stopped.

  • one day the hard drive will be obsolete

  • it's called the ssd

  • oh, no, even better, there will be virtual hards drives, with unlimited space, and you can access them any where in the world, some thing like that, but yeah i like ssd's kinda pricey

  • global capatalist, thats a pretty damn clear irish accent pal!

    cheers

  • Fuck Cloud Computing!!!

    You'll never take my PC Freedom from me!

  • LOL. This Aussie guy was on the money.

  • But the cool thing about Cloud Computing is that YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT YOUR COMPUTER DYING. You can leave it on all the time, at the same overpriced monthly expense that Google charges you.

  • I honestly think Google will be the first to offer Cloud Computing. And it will become popular.

  • fucking hell squeaky ass voice!

  • LOL a 3:54 when someone in the chat room says GoogleOS, and pretty soon there is going to be one.

  • there already is one its gOS for short, its not made by google as it says on the website, the one from google is Google Chrome OS

  • Comment removed

  • I would hate to wake up every day

    and just see a web browser

    I think OS are here to stay, some people

    may choose the clouds and the clouds will their own use but if you think everything and everyone will be on the cloud you are wrong........

    maybe maybe if 1984 finally materializes..

    yes we could end up in a dumb dumb cloud until then...........

    I think Linux flavors will gain on Ms in the

    coming years and MS is going to lose its dominating role..

  • this will kill bandwidth as you need more because your streaming all the time. the internet company will end up charging you for your files its not a good idea why move everything online. whats the good side of that. i would say lets try to get everybody on solid state drives first then things will be faster.

  • Good points and ideas.

  • Look up Michel Foucault and Panopticism and shit yourself. You'll shit yourself.

  • Bye privacy, bye piracy.

  • The OS was developed to allow more than one program to run on a single processor at a a time - cpu cycles were distributed between programs, content generated and viewed locally. With the cloud, most of those content generation cpu cycles have moved out into the cloud leaving the work of the OS to merely render streams of data from the cloud. Most just need a screen for visual and xport system for key presses and mouse moves-the IPhone. Fiber is immaterial-wireless will dominate.

  • Lol, I say cloud computing may be 10 years from now, maybe even more... but look Japan has even looked into having a personal computer in a pen... A FRIGGIN PEN! -which is kinda cool and all- But to the real topic at hand... I'm against cloud computing because I mean hackers... That's a risk... Unless they make a super uber unhackable embedded code then... No, then... your Privacy is limited, as if it isn't enough already... Bye-bye torrents and illegally downloaded music.

  • 1.) 10 years??? You do know people are using cloud computing as we speak. And have been for a while now. I don't store a single file or mail locally.

    2.) What's the difference? They can hack into your home computer too. And they do on regular basics.

    People are also too self-important. What data do people think they have that hackers are just dying to get.

  • LOL. I know. People are just dying to get their hands on Joe Schmoe's resume and love letter from his girl friend.

  • Ironically you are using cloud computing service saying that it's 10 years from now.

  • Guyz, OS exists as specialized development platform to speed up development. But cloud computing is the future. Every home's TV will be the interacting window to the external world, with cloud computing as OS platform.

  • I don't think people will buy into this, I wouldn't. Too many "what ifs", what if the particular server that stores your files goes down? It would also make your files much more open to spies AKA "big brother" like Google, Microsoft, and the seriously corrupt NSA. Hell I live near RAF Menwith Hill - one of the biggest spy bases in the world of which is actually controlled by the NSA and is tide up in an Industrial espagne case involving Boeing and Airbus. People want control over their privacy.

  • OMG pay as u go service another cell phone bill and i use my cell phone alot

  • whatever the guy on the phone said this guy was against because of his ego ultimately, the guy on the phone said we will have unlimited bandwidth and two years later we do this this was saying 10 years loll, remember technology is growing exponentially, and people need to understand that

  • lol I's sure he know that better than u

  • the guy on the phone is right, and i think ignorant and none innovative people should keep their comments to themselves and not slow down the progress as its moving fast, this video was made in 2007 now its 2009 and we already have fiber optics to pretty much everyones house and if they dont they will get it very soon

  • he sounded like my friend on shrooms

  • Cloud computing is dangerous! Look guys, Internet 2 is coming and it's not pretty. The point is to take away your freedom of YOUR hard drive space. Just look at what windows has done. Huge wide open back door for Microsoft to come in and dictate what your computer needs. Apple has done the same thing. Cloud computing only takes more freedoms away and leaves your experience to the mercy of some company. You illegally download music, you lose hard drive space or ram as punishment.

  • i see what ur gettin at

  • Left brained people are protocol driven. It is in their nature. If russian whores macquarading as good wives stop calling me I'm all for it. America seems to think that everyone is like them. The future is wireless
