The five defining characteristics of cloud computing

What it (REALLY) means to you - addendum: Did I mention that you have to pay "minutes-used" every time you just want to read (or look at) your document??

Oh Yeah, cloud computing is just a great idea for the user!! Instead of producing an application that users can buy and use, cloud computing gives application vendors a pair of scissors they can use to cut a hole in your pocket (or in your artery, if you happen to bleed money). And the big bonus - they don't even have to provide you with any contact information or customer service!; Posted by: maggietoo9 Posted on: 04/10/09 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
