Get the computanese mug.If one could consider the internet itself as being similar to a "cloud", in the way that it seemingly floats ubiquitously over everything and is not owned by anyone, cloud computing is using a cheap, rudimentary computer terminal as the only hardware you need in order to accomplish fully functional computing.
Man! Alhamdullilah that each one of us is finally able through cloud computing to stop being tied down to all that duplicative hardware!

Get the cloud computing mug.1. A piece of farm equipment that harvests grain/corn/etc. The whole plant is cut down and the kernels are removed. The kernels are then stored in a tank, while other material, such as stalks, is deposited on the ground.
2. A metaphor used by Chief Bromdon in Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest to describe the shaping influences in America. Media, government, authority figures, the social class system, citizens, greed, etc. shape members of American society; any individuals are chewed up until they are left naive and docile - certain qualities are kept, just like a combine in the field.

Get the combine mug.A term that basically describes the many loss of IT jobs.
Back in the good ol' days, manpower was required to get work done. These days, you just need a bunch of Indians (From India) who follow a scripted business model, and offer, or at least what they consider, a "service".
The large volume of third-world competition has not only decimated industry-level wages by about 40%, but has also eliminated thousands of previously existing jobs.
Simply put, if you are considering a career in IT, stay away! All of us who are now in IT are wishing we had chosen a different career path as we do not know if there will be a career for us in the long-term.

2008 (new student intake class) - professor speaking: "There are MANY jobs in IT! You will all start at over $60,000 per year! STARTING! You kids were smart to make this choice!
2011 (graduates) - outcome: Average starting wages fell to around 35-40k per year.
"Gee golly, sir, I sure do love being taken advantage of by my employer due to the shitty economic climate!"
Another example:
A student looks for a job, only to discover that all "junior" entry-level positions, require 3-5 years of industry-level experience. Life is so not fair sometimes.
A dude gets rejected after his 4th interview for requesting a livable wage:
"cloud computing can kiss my ass!"
