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.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!"

Get the Cloud computing mug.A procedure carried out by vegans when the host releases his "seed" onto a plant species of any type which does include trees but not to be confused with tree hugging. The procedure is viewed as a way of reproduction by the religion of veganism. Once the procedure has ended, the host chants a speech of creating the "plantant", a superior gender and specie that will eventually outgrow the population of humans and take the planet and rid it of all that is seen as a sin in the eyes of veganism. Unfortunately, the plant doesn't survive once the load has dropped and it has an overdose of hormones. Theoretically, the planet should have some sort of reaction to the hormones. Trees are rarely used in this procedure.
