Croud Computing

An Asian way of saying Cloud Computing, an IT term describing applications or services housed and delivered by a service provider via a network connection. The play on spelling stems from an Asian's inability to pronounce the letter L.
Rumour has it that Asians are developing a method of meshing the power of human minds into a single number-crunching super-power, rivaling some of the largest known super-computers. They hope to one day secure the trademark 'croud computing' for describing this purpose.

Cloud Computing

Utilizing the resonance of water molecules in clouds when disturbed by wireless signals to transmit data around the globe from cloud to cloud.

I use cloud computing so I don't have to worry about viruses, I only have to worry about birds flying through my cloud.

Cloud Computing

Cloud Computing - Virtual Server service is provided over the internet.

The 'So What'....
cheaper to maintain server over internet
access desktop from anywhere using browser
cheaper to store MORE data

Hmmm....but I'm moving my private stuff to the internet....that's SOCIAL NETWORKING isn't it?

Hey...Cloud Computing isn't NEW!!!!

Don't let them pull THE CLOUD over your eyes!!!!!

My data feels even more vulnerable to being HACKED!!!!!

Cloud Computing

A pointless catchphrase (marketing strategy) for technology that has existed for years.

If I always allude to Web 2.0, Cloud computing, synergy, and green power, maybe people won't realize that I'm a complete moron.

cloud computing

Cloud computing is a style of computing in which dynamically scalable and often virtualised resources are provided as a service over the Internet. Users need not have knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure "in the cloud" that supports them

Sun Microsystems showcased the Sun Open Cloud Platform, the company's open cloud computing infrastructure, powered by industry-leading software technologies from Sun, including Java, MySQL, OpenSolaris and Open Storage.

Crowd Computing

A sub-section of Cloud Computing offered by service providers that under-invest in both server infrastructure and technical support staff.

Companies that outsource to them do not realise that they are being crammed in like sardines to the vendors infrastructure which is nowhere near adequate. They only start to realise they are up shit creek when they try to contact technical support for help only to be placed in the longest most painful telephone queue of their life.

Afghan: "None of our 1,000 employees can access their online email application, my CIO's already been fired and I'm next for the chop...I opened a support ticket with the vendor 5 days ago and this is the 26th time I've tried to get through to them on the phone...I am dead meat man, dead meat <sniff>."

Tragic: "Well Afghan, that's Crowd Computing for you."

Cloud Computing

When one gets extremely high and tries to use a computer.

I was so baked during my cloud computing session.
