  • Larry Ellison is not against cloud computing as such but rather is mocking the hype and hullabaloo around something which has existed under different names for well over 10 years.

    After all, Oracle itself is into cloud computing or what it calls "software as a service."

    Larry is also against techno-determinism, such as "PCs will kill mainframe computers" or "video kills the radio star."

    Well it's been over 20 years since that song came out but radio is still alive and well.

  • literally - these people who are writing this crap; are out there

  • some really good stuff here

  • very interesting video thanks

  • When I fart in front of my computer - that's cloud computing!

  • lmao..Larry you are so right..whats so special about cloud? Lets jump on the new band wagon

  • haha. I'm no fan of Larry and the mess he's making of sun, but he nails it on this point.

  • Hey Larry, try explaining computing

  • Please, Larry Ellison and Oracle have been offering Software As a Service, means, "cloud computing" for today marketing strategy. So it is nothing new at all. I remember working in a company in late 90s and we used Oracle software and that software were in the Oracle data center.

    The industry just change the term and they are selling like if they have invented technology.

    This is another proof that USA is not innovating anymore.

    Simple like that.

    When he says about "Sand Hill Road", is because it is where there are a lot of "Venture Capital Firms" and they came out with the marketing term "CLOUD COMPUTING".

    Simple like that.
