Ok so this is probably the biggest back and forth on lug I have seen
to date and it has morphed slightly off the original email but to me
this is the most damning thing about cloud computing. If we were in an
always connected world it might work but we are not. Also the fact
that open wifi is slowly becoming illegal these days the filtered
options for public wifi will probably be less than desirable. Cloud
computing is definately something not needed IMO. It also brings up
the issues of fair use and such. Which laws apply? Where the server
resides or the user?
