Ja, här isar det ju till i tänderna lite. Jag får intrycket att
mycket av hela denna cloud push är för att försöka skaka fram
så många europeiska patent som möjligt inom detta område, vilket
ju inte är något lovvärt.

Nej nej nej, collaboration and trust är mycket viktigare.

Här kommer detta med IPR igen. Jag har sjukt svårt att se
relevansen här. Jag sysslar med mjukvara, och har väldigt
svårt att se vad IPR har med det hela att göra. Annat än
att ANVÄNDARE av molnet kan spara sina piratkopierade filmer
där.

What? Identity Theft? Hurdå? Om de deployar sina applikationer
själva, på egna servrar, så blir det halvbra gjort. Om de
deployar sina appar i molnet så har de hundratals säkerhets-
experter som inte har annat för sig än att se till att deras
moln inte kan hackas.

Ja, kanske det, men det är inte sant att de som äger moln har
access till sina kunders data. Så är det ju inte om datat är
krypterat hos kunderna hela vägen ut i molnet. De snyggaste
exemplen på det är ju:

Jag osäkrar min browning, nu!
