Comment on Razorfish 5 Report Prezi Presentation by James

My two cents: I think this demo misses the point of Prezi. Prezi is all about context — allowing you to see all five ideas in context and how they interrelate. This presentation simply uses the cool Prezi transitions, but doesn\’t zoom out to the big idea.

Comment on How do we define cloud computing? by Raymond Velez

I was say yes to your question, “if Gmail is cloud computing, is a hosted MS exchange accessed using OWA cloud computing as well? “. Think about it this way, where is your gmail emails or your hosted MS exchange data stored…a cloud storage service. The difference to the business is that there isn’t a team of people supporting your email storage needs at your corporation. That’s a significant change in the way that company does business.

On the wikipedia page, there is a basic but good diagram of the cloud computing stack (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cloud_Computing_Stack.svg). I agree with Miles though, if Gmail is cloud computing, is a hosted MS exchange accessed using OWA cloud computing as well? I think the lines start to blur in that scenario, and it becomes the new web 2.0 term…

Well, when you upgrade to an iPhone and install gpush on your phone, does gmail move from a site to a service? It’s about open API’s and not installing software. The reason to move them into cloud computing is because it’s computing you don’t need to install on your servers. Use GMAIL and you don’t need to install sendmail. It’s two easy to forget that reality. As someone who’s installed and configured sendmail, I definitely don’t take that for granted.

I like the “cloud infrastructure” definition. But personally, I further break what you call “cloud services” into sites like GMail & Hotmail and services like Salesforce.com. The former I like to simply call “web sites” (that happen to store data), and the latter already had a spiffy buzzword “SaaS” (Software as a Service). I see no need to mix them into the “cloud computing” category.

Unfortunately, since the term cloud computing got shiny enough that the second category of bums needed to mooch some of the glow, there’s now confusion in the marketplace. Your proposed split helps to restore some clarity.

Comment on 2010 is definitely the year of the app by reactorr

Kinda cool. hadn’t heard of the ‘year of the app’ yet.

Nokia might even be busy since they came out with a new os and their ovi store. And Google’s nexus one too.

Would love to hear more on how TVs can integrate and apps.

Comment on Cloudfront, Amazon’s Caching Delivery Network (CDN) by Ryan

Except you seem to forget that Cloudfront is a fraction of the cost of any other CDN (and a fraction of the capabilities as well). For a low cost CDN, CloudFront really works quite well when budget is a big factor (and when is it not?)
