No Case for Cloud Computing?

How can cloud computing increase SEO results? The cloud computing advertising and promotion campaigns have taken root in industry and programming. Why is their an antidote to more hardware that does not build on database driven and query based sites? How does a self service manager in cloud computing programming save time and money? The proponents of cloud computing welcome new members on the bandwagon but when the hayride is over what value is left?

Software as a service is a nice concept, but how many independent web entrepreneurs can make the connection between a need and a want? Is there a model online for bringing an app to market? I would like to see a development timeframe for beta or commercial launch. Talking about functionality to host a Application Programming interface is all very well, but API design is beyond most people. Why go to the extra effort of managing data applications and creating more layers of programming?

In my mind software must provide some kind of functionality. Business needs to ask cost qualifying questions before plunging entire corporations into a productivity deficit. That is the whole reason behind the app. But so many apps are really just programming portals between devices and the connectivity qualifiers for each. Shouldn’t there be a distinguishing term for an app that is really just an interface translator and one that is a standalone software experience? To me, the case for cloud computing does not yet validate the additional security risks, IT costs, or time and programming resources required to build it.

Cloud computing seems dated. It seems built on assumptions that entire groups of people will be administrating skills to tasks in exactly the same with huge amounts of predictability. I find that Internet users I know and love do anything but that. Cloud computing is one of those ideas that harnesses the income estimations and desires of big business but leaves users wondering what they are supposed to do to make it work. In my opinion, if you can make your business frontend work with existing database management tools ad transactional security. there is nothing to fix.

Apple Tablet on the Slate

Today’s announcement by Cupertino techmaker Steve Jobs will start a run on domain names with “slate” or “tablet” in the keywords. Smart domainers have already done their Apple shopping, focusing on tablet names and keywords like “store’, shop” and “tech”. With a color screen, wi-fi and3G surfing and email capability, this all-purpose tech device should sell at about $1K, priced just right for credit enabled tech first adopters.

Apple’s Iphone penetrated every market it went into, and the tablet or slate product has futuristic edge with everyday practical uses. Domainers, to your registrars!
