Just look at Google Apps for business... it's literally the cats ass for everything. Our business uses it.<br /><br />Our business doesn't use it for proprietary data and we still back up all of data on an internal server. <br /><br />This leads to the next question - we are we running two sets of applications? I thought we were smarter than that. I think we were hoping 'they' would be smarter.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02765027864261638959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34867261.post-78161716285041807562009-07-22T07:02:40.629-04:002009-07-22T07:02:40.629-04:00I don't trust that stuff, but for a different ...I don't trust that stuff, but for a different reason.<br /><br />The Bush Administration illegally wiretapped telephones, and when they got caught they simply passed a law granting themselves immunity.<br /><br />I have no confidence at all that this won't happen again, and again, and again.<br /><br />It's not much of a stretch to assume they snooped on other forms of data, too.

But I'm literally cloud computing on my Google phone at 27,000 feet inside an AirTran 717, somewhere over North Carolina.

My recent Windows debacle aside, what would I tell my clients if Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Apple, etc. decided my license to put my stuff on their server had a wee problem and they had poofed it?</i><br /><br />No joke that. I gave up on Windows completely because, as a software developer, I couldn't abide a company that claimed the right to determine, at their sole discretion, what software runs on my machine.<br /><br />Don't put it in the cloud, put it on a portable hard-drive and stuff it in your safety deposit box. Ever two months swap the drives. Has worked for me for years. <br /><br />They can take my computer, but my data is always safe. (I use encrypted virtual drives, but that's another story entirely.)Kvatchhttp://ragebot.comnoreply@blogger.com
