Head in the cloud
I've been seeing ads lately for "personal cloud" products. This gives me the impression of being a solution in search of a problem. People often have several computing devices in their homes, but how many really need servers that dynamically allocate resources as needed (which is what a "cloud" does)? More often they want all the resources to be available to all their machines.
Actually, I suspect the "personal cloud" is a buzzword in search of a market. A presentation I went to yesterday talked about a five-phase curve with new technology and said that cloud computing is still in the period of inflated expectations, which is followed by the trough of disappointment.
