 * Pew survey - The future of cloud computing - Some 71% agreed with the statement: “By 2020, most people won't do their work with software running on a general-purpose PC. Instead, they will work in Internet-based applications such as Google Docs, and in applications run from smartphones. Aspiring application developers will develop for smartphone vendors and companies that provide Internet-based applications, because most innovative work will be done in that domain, instead of designing applications that run on a PC operating system.”


 * Myths About The Cloud


 * What is Cloud Computing? interaction of several virtualized resources. Cloud Servers™ connect and share information based on the level of website traffic across the entire network. Cloud computing is often provided "as a service" over the Internet, typically in the form of infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), or software as a service (SaaS).


 * The Future of Cloud Computing: The Big 25 in the Next 25 comment - I see this and I see security issues. Software is driving my car/boat/plane? Then it had better be secure. Security in software tends to be an afterthought, as engineers are more interested in getting something to work than worrying about how it might be abused. As computing in general, and cloud computing in particular, continues to pervade our lives, security needs to be part of the initial design of these applications, not bolted on afterwards.
