Retailer’s Terms and Conditions attempt to restrict negative online reviews. After a consumer posted a negative review of an Internet retailer online, the retailer reached out, not to apologize, but rather to threaten a libel suit. It turns out that the retailer’s Terms and Conditions aim to limit the circumstances under which an unhappy customer […]

“Why did you walk around all day with rubber balls in your hands?” Orr sniggered again. “I did it to protect my good reputation in case anyone ever caught me walking around with crab apples in my cheeks. With rubber balls in my hands I could deny there were crab apples in my cheeks. Every […]

A roundup of happenings that bear on the issues in The Future of the Internet — Canadian Android Carrier Forcing Firmware Update. A Canadian carrier wanted users to download a firmware upgrade that fixed a glitch prohibiting users from dialing 911, so it made the upgrade mandatory. Seems reasonable. But it bundled in an update […]

Apple’s Game-Changer, Downloading Now. Long NY Times article on Apple’s App Store and how it’s changed the model of what a smartphone should be. The good parts of the article: interesting data (100K apps for the iPhone, 14K for Android, 500 (!) for PalmOS; $1B a year in iPhone app sales), some valuable musings on […]

Professor Zittrain has spent time on this blog and elsewhere discussing the future of cloud computing. One of his frequent suggestions is that it should be easier to move data within the cloud, so we don’t all get locked into a certain photo storage system, or spreadsheet provider, or what have you. It seems that […]

“Ma’am, the cloud is coming from inside your house”

July 30th, 2009  |  by z  |  published in cloud, Future of the Internet  |  8 Comments

There’s lots of talk, and confusion, about the “cloud” and “cloud computing.”  I’ve recently contributed to it (the discussion, at least, and possibly the confusion) with some of my worries, and in some technology and vendor circles that’s been seen as controversial.

One part of the political genius of something like this is the irregular number. If a job paid $17.76 an hour, the rate itself would communicate that the pay is that only thanks to the Federal minimum wage. Where $15/hr might just happen to be the going rate anyway. twitter.com/jamesrlevan1/s…
