When my dad mentioned Cloud Computing to me, I instantly thought, “LOL, Cloud Strife”
Simply for the fact that cloud offerings are ubiquitous and mostly are open source, the route which oracle is skeptical about. As you can see they have no forward statement for Mysql or any SUN products. They would be safe with keeping status quo of computing model as it earns them more revenue and this is a fact.
why would oracle be scared?
Boy I sure should say, Oracle is scared of the cloud, thats why Larry is making all the noise
Larry should laugh at others like Microsoft and not talk about them but talk about what you do best.
I don’t understand what you said. Can you explain better?
I’m an professional sales agent and selling is my profession. Communicating is one the the bigest part in my job and Larry doesn’t show anything but the bigest fear a man can have. He started defending immediatly. He trying to win sympathy and uses his name. He’s deffinatly fighting against it.
Larry you suck imho. Compete with your ow strength and don’t act like a complete loser.
Brilliant. Love that guy.
My head is in the clouds.
my seo is in the cloud on web 2.0
Finally, someone with clout in the IT industry is calling Cloud Computing what it really is – marketing spin without any substance.
i’m posting to the cloud right now.
I love a good cloud computing debate in the morning!
1. larry is eccentric
2. he has a vested interest in the success of bloated ERP software
you may not like the concept of cloud computing but his arguments comparing computer terms to womens fashion is a little crazy.
read richard stallman if you want an intelligent debate on the issue (if slightly paranoid)
I’d rather deal with paper merchants than technicians rolling off their spin. Good call Larry, a business view of the new technical santeria. There is always a y2k or cloud waiting in earth’s orbit to blow us to smithers. Kotter’s change management methodology has infiltrated everything.
Women’s Fashion Indeed. Good comment on SAS. Let’s keep asking the tough questions!
Stay Safe, My Friends.
Larry Ellison is not against cloud computing as such but rather is mocking the hype and hullabaloo around something which has existed under different names for well over 10 years.
After all, Oracle itself is into cloud computing or what it calls “software as a service.”
Larry is also against techno-determinism, such as “PCs will kill mainframe computers” or “video kills the radio star.”
Well it’s been over 20 years since that song came out but radio is still alive and well.
Larry Ellison is the chairman of Oracle, AndrasABaldrich — who do you think he is?
He is angry because google is taking them out of industry (he said it). Bing was a fiasco and now theyre coming with an OS. If Microsoft had taken advantage of open source then there would be no chrome os.
I am an example. In my country you can live a whole month with the equivalent to 200 dollars. So I got linux for free: even the windows in compiz are better than aero.
what the fuck am i listening to?
i dont even know how i found this.
AT LAST someone who actually understands what’s going on! And I don’t even like Oracle! But this guy’s got it right on: what is cloud computing? It’s just a stupid “new” marketing concept, just as web 2.0 a few years ago. Some guy picks up something that’s already happening and dub it with a fashionable magazine-selling name.
I could take the ability to play videos on the web and call it “video-driven networking” and start giving lectures on how it will kill television.
Stop being stupid!

Some of you are missing the point, his amazement is partly in the fact that we’ve had cloud computing for a very long time now so this hysteria raving about it like it is some ‘revolution’ is very confusing.
I guess the cloud computing freaks want a day when every god damn thing they do is on the web and all you need is a screen and mouse + keyboard.
This won’t happen in any noticeable way until net speeds are about trebled.
Yeah, I agree with your point. Back in the 90′s, Larry Ellison promoted the thin client concept which was suppose to revolutionize the industry. It never took off…
You commenters don’t get it. Larry is right. You ask 10 computer scientists what Cloud Computing is and you’ll get 10 answers. Is it apps on the web like Google? NO THATS WEB COMPUTING. Is its Software hosted for YOU. NO that Software as a service. Is Virtualized Elastic Environments like Amazon E2C? Well Maybe but Oracle’s already Doing that with Amazon. So CLOUD is a catch all for whoever wants to TWIST it to make money. Larry’s right!!! as usaual.
