Yes, but where IS the case for cloud computing?

I don't see it. It's just another tool with quirks and uses, and this guy seems to know well that the details matter little as long as you don't get entrenched in your own bullshit. Like, oh, if he has his shop tidy he might rip out mysql and replace it with postgresql or even firebird inside of a month, change management and acceptance testing and all.

I'm still not happy about pilots depending on windows to know where they are, though. Fix that, fix the fallbacks in case of an emergency, and I'll consider them as soon as I'll consider flying again. For now I'm waiting for the TSA and DHS and all the other security circus folderol to keel over and die due to their own stupidity. But that bit may be why: You have no privacy left after meeting them anyway, so why bother? Cloud computing here we come!
