Mark Fricker at RPM Technologies brought this article to our attention. Great insight by Richard Stallman.
I just ran across an article in the Guardian (UK) in which GNU creator (and founder of the Free Software Foundation) Richard Stallman minces no words about the cloud computing phenomenon, calling it a trap. TechRepublic bloggers have written skeptically about the concept, especially where it concerns privacy and security issues, and others have reported on particular cloud initiatives such as those of Google and Amazon.
Stallman's comments to the Guardian go beyond merely skeptical, however: It's stupidity. It's worse than stupidity: it's a marketing hype campaign.
