An introduction to cloud computing
#1
I cant believe this is the future for Microsoft Windows 8. This is such an amazing infringement on your privacy its ridiculous. Ya I'm gonna send my life up to the clouds and trust that Loser

What do you think?

What is cloud computing?

The 'cloud' represents the Internet: instead of using software installed on your computer, or saving data to your hard drive, you're working and storing stuff on the Web, in cyberspace. Data is stored on servers run by the service you're using, and tasks are performed in your browser using an interface provided by the service.

The company I worked for have have gone to something like this for their engineering design software. However they have there own server in the home office. They have engineers in three locations (hone and two off site). This way all can use the same cad files without having duplicate files. I was the cad administrator before retireing and before this system and only one off site. Keeping the foles current at both locations was a big job.

I agree though, I would not want to use a third party server. Kind of like using Carbonite to back up your computer on line, how trustworthy are their employees?

I worry about security, if there is one central server or many who's responsible to make sure it never gets stolen or lost or abused.

I promise you that would be hacker paradise.

The thing is, they sneak this stuff in on us and make us want the products then they take all the privacy.

Better not get a mp3 on your computer you didn't pay for or the naked pictures you took of your wife or girlfriend! Laughing

All kidding aside, its obvious they want our privacy, are you willing to just give that away SCo_huhsign

We need to tell them to take a long walk off a short pier! I've said it before this kind of thing is exactly why I don't have anything to do with facebook and the like cause anyone can look at all your thoughts both private or otherwise! Attn JTS 71 Mach1

Ya I'm not a big facebook guy but people in my family are addicted! I just don't get it really.

I enjoyed it for about 2 weeks when I first got involved and it was nice hooking up with high school and college friends but once the newness wore off of that I barely go on facebook anymore.

Nothing here is captured on Mach1Club, mostly the little cookies that are used are used to help you know when there's a new post since last visit or if you have a private message.
