Cloud computing is how computing worked in the 1960-80's - large centralized systems that did everything, and you connected to with dumb terminals. Well it's back, but this time with a different name.
As soon as women stop screwing men in big fast cars, and men stop buying big fast cars to get laid... we'll have no problem. As if that will ever happen. It's no the tech, it's the human.
No, it's email that's a thing of the past. 99.9% by bytes is spam. It's insanely expensive to host, process, and store, and NOONE wants to pay for it. In other words, it's a stupid to be providing it. Google and others have enough people in one place that the government is willing to chip in to gather intel.
Spam is killing email, look for alot more companies to dump it.
This is how we've been teaching computer science to share memory since there was more then one thread. Anyone over 40 will immediately recognize this as just "how we do that". To all you younger viewers, welcome to multi-core/SMP circa 1980.
And to all you industry people, if you'd stop firing everyone when they turn 30, you'd know this too!
How many of these services are there now, hundreds at least. Maybe Google should make a search engine for VoIP services, so we can compare all the freeness.
It makes sense because that's about the time the kids are gone, and they can devote time to their passion again.
After all the whole fuel of the 20-something startup is that you do not yet have spouse/kids/life to keep you from working 80+ hour weeks. This is called a "youth culture" but really just means you don't know you're supposed to be enjoying life.
That is an impressively large amount of code most people cannot ever use in any way or let near any of their code. That's very sad, but the reality of it.
It wasn't really that bad with GPLv2, but GPLv3 took a very strong F'-the-day-job attitude.
ICANN allows the sites (typos and fronting). IE, Outlook, and most other web/email clients take you to them happily. And Google funds the whole ecosystem with their ads.
Maybe Google should look in a mirror once in a while. Becasue in the mirror it doesnt say "do no evil" it says "be a greedy profit hungry corporation or get sued by the shareholders and goto jail"
Someone stopped blogging and actually went and tried to do something in the real world. Holy crap. Now if the other 6.5 billion other really pissed off people get off their asses and vote for him and people like him, maybe something will happen in the real world. Kick some ass Lawrence... kick some ass.
Pointing out to the kids at Google their "new" tech is 30 years old and not even close to interesting to any researcher, becasue it's 30 years old, isn't going to get you anywhere around here.
Exactly, noone except Google claims the MapReduce methods are new in any way. And given their lots-of-junk-machines, it's the way to do it. Anyone in the distributed computing space over the last _35_ years would have done it exactly the same way, just in older programming languages:)
The rest of the article is just DB-centric whining.
So we're back to the point in the cycle where centralized mainframes you rent time on rule the world again. Can you guess what happens next? Privacy problems, reliability problems, outages, and we all go back to personal systems again.

Shhhhh! They charged then 22M for something they think is new. It's hard to pull off a scam of that scale these days.
How often can you charge that much for something that's available on Wikipedia?
No, sadly this one is EASY...

Simple yes, but simple is not exciting.
It's not opposite, Google is an advertising company. That's what they do.
These guys are going to be SOOOOOO pissed when they find out over 95% of the world isn't even under US IP laws, and those that are pay no attention ;)

Not if you don't ignore the several thousand dollar 2-year contract.

Been happening for a long time, this is just the first one with proteins :) Still cool tho.

I never said it wasn't possible, but kids do take a lot of time. Time that's a lot more fun then sitting at a desk, that's for sure :)

Unless you're using one of the dozens of compilers can do just that, or FORTRAN, or OpenMP, or...

Old is new again.
.. or awesome publicity stunt?
And don't forget the horrible write performance.
By the end of this year, they won't suck, and another halving of price will approach reasonable.
"millenials" are still in elementary school. You're "generation debt" - the one screwed by the boomers.
Turns out when grownups run an auction, it doesn't work the same way as it does on Ebay. Real auctions go until noone else _wants_ to bid.
80% of a massively insane amount of radiation is still too much.
Cool yes, but it's still down a bad path.
