Percy; Are you setting any goals for the new school? Clayton; I really want the new Wii when it comes. Percy; Isn't console gaming dead? Clayton; Dead? Why do you say that? Percy; Because I can get a better experience from the cloud without huge hardware purchases. Clayton; Be careful... Percy; Why? Clayton; I hear Mario and Luigi hold a grudge.
Ugh! spoken like a true drone. The “cloud” (aka the internet for the most part) has it’s place and is a good thing. Everyone jumping on the great marketing campaign that is “cloud computing” drives me nuts. "Lets all take what we used to buy once and control and secure ourselves and put it out on someone elses hardware, let them hire people that we may or may not trust to secure it and then pay them every month FOREVER for the right to access our OWN STUFF. Oh, and if there’s a payment dispute? Forget it, pay them what they want or your stuff now is unavailable to you anymore. OH, and if your internet connection goes down? yeah, “stuff” no longer available.
ARAAAGGHHHH! The cloud is not a miracle people! It’s a marketing campaign to try and put the cell phone model in place for everything you use on a computer!
