Re: Computing::: Grid and cloud.
Cloud computing is really confirming its buzzword status, with major companies cutting the costs by moving the non-critical data to the cloud - the crunch situation seems like a contributing factor. This line of development is probably going to yield new trends, but who's going to grab the leading position (and, most importantly, make neat profits out of it) is yet unclear. In the meantime, users are hesitant - the perspective of finding yourself locked out of your own data is pretty scary, actually.
