@brainlife you got to be kidding. Google's search engine is the most successful internet application yet, followed by Gmail. Then you have google docs, google scholar, RECAPTCHA, Google Web Toolkit, Google Earth, Google Maps, Google Sky. I'm tired already, and haven't yet talked about android... so, I know your post has 2 years, but even back in 2009 google had lots of great RIAs (rich internet application).

It's called cloud because it's about to rain ...

Cloud computing is a bad idea. Criminals will have access to your personal data.. The U.S. Government the number one criminal that breaks privacy laws.

The Internet was always called the cloud since the original technical drawings. You need to do some more research and find out just where cloud came from. We don't call the internet "net computing" because it doesn't work like a net, it works like a cloud from the view of a software developer. Do the research yourself.

I KNOW IT'S SO ANNOYING GAH

[brainlife]

Thing they don't tell youisthat Google, number one has never provided a decent level of customer support. It is non-existent, and number two; Google has never developed a sucessful application as evidenced by googles offerings:

90% of google apps have been developed by a different company. Google reputation for software developement is maybe a c+. All google is is a advertising platform. BEWARE

[leysin]

Why don't they just call it "net computing", why have to make up a different word when refering to the internet?? The internent is not a cloud, its just the internet. Hate it whe these fags feel the need to gay up my computer experience. No offense to the gay community, but you know what I mean.
