  1. Cloud computing is still in the process of being invented; any other view of it generates a palm to my forehead chain reaction.
  2. Many cloud computing customers never 'burst' in demand; 60% of netbook owners never use outside of house
  3. Cloud computing & Netbooks---barriers to entry serial killers.
  4. @charltonb WIkipedia says 70% of them have been sold in EU. Are you seeing them more over there?
  5. The more I really look into netbooks I see similarities to cloud; experimentally launched; cheaper, slower; but abundant; flexible; easy
  6. RT @benjaminblack: Current status: http://www.youtube.com/watc... <--- WTF dude...really?
  7. RT @nilofer: Bus and people have one common problem: if we don't know who we really are, we can't prioritize what to focus on. <--+10
  8. Just learned how small the world is. First and last time my tweet stream goes gossip column...yikes..DM storm much? ..
  9. @vRobM balding white guy....apparently speaking at high volume in spanish...I believe it might have been an innocent alcohol incident :)
  10. @nilofer good to know!! I bet it was somebody posing? It was truly just an OH.
  11. OH "The CEO of Symantec was in a bar in SF yesterday, asking us if we knew who he was, he was a big deal, and we should respect him now"
  12. @langonej didn't say you couldn't do hpc tasks in cloud; said if it's your core competancy ripping out fixed infra for cloud wouldn't boost
  13. I can't one day say cloud is limited to mostly processing flexibility; then the next day say its universally disruptive; needs to grow up
  14. Example: does anyone really think Burger King could overtake McDonalds by using Cloud computing?? I'm thinking..hmm...stretch..
  15. R @kaiyzen for sure. I was just siding with Randy's barriers to entry point; lets not overstate cloud disruptiveness 2 all industries
  16. If an HPC centric company embraced cloud today they'd probably fall behind their peers; cloud and HPC not friendl today IMHO ..4 ex
  17. @randybias et all agree on the big barriers to entry for KP...now say you want to compete in flight time estimation without cloud..then..
  18. @krishnan That's the problem; sounds intuitive to say it ads to costs, but HP is 75% channels and kicking Dell's but in cost sens PCs!?!
  19. @kaiyzen @krishnan do you think in anyway the channel/no channel model played out HP vs. Dell? Channel may matter in Cloud 2..hmm
  20. @krishnan @kaiyzen and do you think HP has inversely grown that much stronger in that time to take share? Or just held steady by compare?
