"Oh that cloud thing looks nice, but can we run a private internal version of that?" = missing the point of utility computing

@aral Nonsense. Cloud as a utility provider of compute resource has minimal privacy implications for customers. Business models do. -
@bruntonspall To quote FSF, “there is no cloud, only other people’s computers”. Get Facebook to use Google’s “cloud” & then let’s talk :) - 1 more reply

@aral To be clear, I'm talking EC2, GCE, Rackspace here, not more complex cloud systems, like GApps, MS Live etc. I agree with you there -
@bruntonspall@aral the European Union has said that data can not be stored in places like EC2...and I wonder why -
@ipedrazas@bruntonspall@aral "the EU has said that data can not be stored in places like EC2" - that's a legal reason not a technical 1! -
@_tony_richards@ipedrazas@aral also any chance of a reference on that? I don't recall any ban on data in the cloud. That'd be seismic. -
@bruntonspall@ipedrazas@aral - no actual ban, just DPD reqs: safe Harbour et al. Some EU countries have ban, ie: Germany. UK does not! -
@_tony_richards@bruntonspall@ipedrazas@aral AWS operates under EU safe harbour -
@garethr EU safe harbour is basically worthless. +@_tony_richards@bruntonspall@ipedrazas -
@aral@garethr@bruntonspall@ipedrazas - Who Is the real risk? US can just ask UK gov for info, rather than hack. Why waste time on this? - 2 more replies
