  1. Re:I'm not sure I understand by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Doctorow On What Cloud Computing Is Really For

    I've seen "Cloud Computing" around as a buzzword but I never really cared to investigate what it really was.

    I'm assuming it is essentially paying a data center to host my data from my home system? Why in the hell would I even WANT to do that?

    Or did I completely miss the bus? Something I missed?

  10. Re:What? No way. by zeroweb · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Recording Music Without the Recording Industry

    What else are you going to do?

    Try to sell your music online? Good luck being found and cared about.
    Get a record deal? Have fun with the paperwork.

    Personally, I've done all the hard work, spent the money AND given my music away for the last 8 years. And I'm satisfied. Not rich, not famous, but hey, not frustrated. I wish the situation was better, but you got to stand up and make it better - not stand up and complain

    That is why I even built a site to help other artists do the same as me: http://alonetone.com/

    You must think I'm a complete nut ball. Not only am I giving away my music, but paying out of pocket for others to do the same! (bandwidth)

    I think it is the wise move. If radiohead is giving away their music, it is a sign. Unless you are famous, you better be giving it away, else sit there wondering why noone wants to drop $15 anymore. How CAN you make money? That is another discussion, and is currently being tackled by SO many artists, companies, and folks like you and me who are doing it on their own.
