Mistrust of Today's Technology
narramissic writes to tell us that Sean McGrath has an interesting look at a general mistrust of today's technology and draws a comparison to the proofreading of photocopies. From the article: "The constant availability of web services out there in the cloud is one such idea. Today, we do not trust the cloud and the services on it to be always available. Few of us can remember any incidences in recent time when, say google.com or amazon.com or live.com was offline but we still do not trust them to be always there and available. I predict that this day will pass. The day will come when outages of big commercial services on the cloud are as unusual as outages in the phone system or the electricity supply system. Sure, losing power will also lose you the services on the cloud but your business most likely has bigger problems to worry about when the power goes."
But my printer is out of paper.
I would have seen this article earlier, but our corporate internet just came back up after being down all day. Thank god that's a thing of the past.
Hmm... that's a strange way to pronounce ZMvnxjowi. My first instinct would be to pronunce it "Zee, Emm, vunks, jowee."
If this signature is witty enough, maybe somebody will like me.
Clearly you are unaware of the spelling and pronunciation revolution that Web 3.0 will bring. Don't worry. There's a Firefox extension in beta that will sort it all out.

The "Z" is silent.
