A lot of us alread...Sorry man, but I beg to differ. A lot of us already live on the cloud whether we like it or not. Heck, if the cloud decided to burn my entire blog tomorrow, I'd be out of a blog. Same goes for my email, though I still have a stash of photos on my desktop.<BR/><BR/>I do doubt that the cloud will take over for the intensive apps that need to be hosted locally, but if you're a casual user, the cloud is exactly why Cybercafe's and Netbooks are so popular now.<BR/><BR/>And as the power of the cloud grows, so does the power of the browser - which was the point of this post. :)<BR/><BR/>It's a good discussion we're having.davidlianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03446293571375339579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1630791402854049329.post-26016409098672364742008-09-03T18:26:00.000+08:002008-09-03T18:26:00.000+08:00I think 'Cloud' is not ready for prime-time yet; I...I think 'Cloud' is not ready for prime-time yet; I would see it at its infancy stage. For it to reach its potential, broadband ubiquity and stability is a must. Until this happens, we're still very much dependent on locally installed OS and applications. 'Cloud' reminded me of the failed Oracle, Sun's Network Computer (1996-2000); thin client linked to servers for computing resources. Good vision but just timing. Will 'Cloud' avoid the fate of the NC? We'll see ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
