Google News is plastered with announcements that Nokia is dumping MeeGo and going with Windows 7. I hope this doesn’t affect the Ubuntu on Wayland project, now that Nokia has sold their soul to their new overlords from Redmond.

“Cloud” as a term has just jumped the shark. “Private cloud in a box?” That’s called a “server.” I’ve got a private cloud in my pocket, but I call it a phone. A private cloud at Amazon? That’s been called Virtual Private Server for years. “Putting your data in the cloud?” That’s called shared hosting.

I’m fine with lingo, jargon, techtalk, buzzwords, etc., but when the hype of the day starts making you sound like an idiot, you really need to take a step back and call it what it is.

Nice and cool, Mark, but I read that Dell provides the actual cloud – from the tweet of their cloud architect. Is that what you are referring to?

Thank you.
