More about Cloud

In today's newsletter, I could see that many references are being made to
Cloud Computing and how many big companies are trying to leverage it:

There is another article on interview the Google CEO, in which he talks
about the where the internet is heading and how the business around will
take it. Also, also since Google is planning to launch its own OS which will
be enabling the cloud computing, a very different from what Microsoft has
been following till date!

A lot more virtual lifestyle based on a personal mobile which will almost
act like a Personal Assistant.

"So this vision of nearly infinite computing power, network power, and these
powerful devices is the basis of the next generation of computing."


"There will be a new kind of application and it will be personal. It will
run on the equivalent of your mobile phone. It will know where you are via
GPS, and you will use it as your personal and social assistant. It will know
who your friends are and when they show up near you. It will remind you of
their birthdays. It will entertain you. It will warn you of impending
threats and it will keep you up to date. It will use all of that computing
power that's in the cloud, as we call it."

"When the network becomes as fast as the processor, the computer hollows out
and spreads across the network."

- Eric Schmidt, 1993
