LXer: The rise of Google - should we be worried?

Cloud != Internet

The cloud is turning your computer into an access terminal where the programs and data are stored on servers and you are merely allowed to access them (for now). It is NOT the internet ! The cloud was a direct result of Google, and as soon as I found out what they were doing and that they were pushing it, I abandoned Google, and everyone else should too, before it is too late. If you trust Google, look up what they've done recently, then accept the cloud and be assimilated or resist.
