strangly enough, I agree...

Strangely enough, I agree with Richard Stallman's take on this so
called 'cloud computing' thing; which in reality  is  simply  the
commercially  backed version of the FAILED vision of grid comput-
ing (my opinion, not RMS').

I need to do some more reading on this growing opposition because
in TFA linked above, Larry Ellison of Oracle, and by all accounts
on the opposite political  and  economic  philosphyfrom  Stallman
says that:

"The  interesting thing about cloud computing is that we've rede-
fined cloud computing to include everything that we already  do,"
he said. "The computer industry is the only industry that is more
fashion-driven than women's fashion. Maybe I'm an  idiot,  but  I
have  no idea what anyone is talking about. What is it? It's com-
plete gibberish. It's insane. When is this idiocy going to stop?"

Ellison's comments can be found in the link below:
