Software Freedom Law Center's Eben Moglen was the > guest speaker, and he raised many interesting points about cloud computing. > > Moglen contends that the client/server architecture is just begging to be > abused, and that cloud providers will always be one step ahead of efforts to > protect people's privacy. He called for a peer-to-peer equivalent of > Facebook that would work from a handheld device running open-source > software. > > Moglen believes that it is fundamentally important to return the Internet > to the distributed architecture that it was envisioned to have in the first > place. It will be an interesting effort to follow, but I am not optimistic > that most people will be motivated or inclined to make the switch. > > > http://www.sdtimes.com/SHORT_TAKES_MARCH_1_2010/By_SD_TIMES_EDITORIAL_BOARD/About_APPLE_and_FACEBOOK_and_GOOGLE_and_OPENSOURCE/34161 > > > >
