What is Cloud Computing

I suppose this concept would probably be quite suitable for the millions of ppl who don't really get online very often and when they do, they are just checking their email and getting on Facebook. As far as ppl who run a lot of applications and design their own programs, this method of housing your sensitive information at some virtual warehouse is a bad idea. I think it could work for some ppl, not everyone.

Wow, what a bunch of ignorant jackasses... Christ, I hope this what the industry considers the brightest..... Cloud computing is your data locked up by a 3rd party that can do what they wish with it, while you suffer needlessly from terrible performance.

man, 70 % of u dont have a damm idea of cloud computing, u guys tigh ur laces, u are gonna loose, because u dont know wht u are geting into

thinking about this properly now, i dont think i like the idea of cloud computing, the lack of control for the user scares me!

so agree with you

It's not about that, it's just kind of like renting someone else's computer (who has software you don't have) without having to buy the application or worry that your computer doesn't have the specs to run the application.
