That looks like it …
That looks like it took forever to make. And lol @ 1:12. Nice job guys, very much appreciated!
Check this. …
Check this. There’s a secret aerosol program going on worldwide causing thick overcast every day! It’s chemicals. I filmed it myself (my chan). Search for “chemtrails”, “Dont talk about the weather”, “Endgame HQ”. We need to wake up and wake others to stop this!
This concept …
This concept reminds me of the single payer system.
I actually mention …
I actually mention Common Craft in the “more info” link. They are well aware of our video and did have kind words to say about it.

I mean you explained how it works and how it will make things easier but still not really explaining what clouds are… Why?

sorry kid
it wont do anything like that
how are you supposed to access the cloud without a computer
this is more of an advantage to servers as they don’t need to pay for physical servers.
thank you great …
thank you great help!

This will put an end to PCs/Macs
That means no more HP, Dell and other hardware brands.
Cloud computing is evil and must never expand into the consumer market. I want my PC not a PC set somewhere on earth and having it stream video to me.

Thanks for a great visual explaination in plain English.
I don’t get this …
I don’t get this question. How is the concern any different if you have your code on a traditional host provider? You have your own rack you say? Well, you can also make your own cloud if you’re concerned about that.
Cloud computing …
Cloud computing sucks ass, and is a bad idea.
One only has to look at the T-mobile Sidekick fiasco with devices not working and all the lost data, to see what a lousy thing cloud computing is.
Sure use the cloud to backup data, but keep a local copy as well. And perform the computing locally.
You only pay in the …
You only pay in the form of ads, which can be subverted with adblocking scripts in most competent browsers. The people who run apps and services on the cloud are the ones who pay real cash. Of course, the privacy issue is still legit, so it’s more a matter of choosing which parts of your computing experience you would rather cloudsource for the sake of convenience… not unlike how the internet already works.
Perhaps, but I …
Perhaps, but I doubt it, simply because anyone can set up some air conditioning and servers in their basement and voila! A cloud server! And when there’s tons of small server sets, monopolization becomes mighty sluggish. That’s less of a tech thing, and more of an economics thing.
Of course, I could be wrong, so don’t go holding back arguments. I go now to do more research.
Cloud computing …
Cloud computing raises the stakes for non-transparent monopolization –a point you dismiss or downplay. To monopolize oil, Standard Oil bought the railroads. Similarly, a well-capitalized company may monopolize the hosting, ISP and server-to-server access aspects of the cloud.
