Gwagg's thoughts on Cloud Computing

When it comes to computing I worry about my data. My home network has a Network Access Shared drive. Network attached storage (NAS) systems are storage devices that can be accessed over a computer network, rather than directly being connected to the computer (such as an external USB hard drive). This enables multiple users to share the same storage space at once. My SimpleShare NAS allows my family to share their data to one location. That is fine when we are in the house but it does not help when on a public network. The tech world has a name for the solution, CloudComputing. Google seems to have the early jump on consumer Cloud Computing. With email (Gmail), Calendar (GCalendar),Pictures (Picasa) and Office documents (GoogleDocs). Google's Blogger and Maps can also be thought as Cloud Computing. Micro$oft is offering similar sites but the only one notable is SkyDrive. It is Cloud storage for any file format and you get 25Gigs for free. Of
course I am waiting for Google's rumored Gdrive. My Motto is go ahead and join them now because Google will take over our Internet usage.

Edit, minutes after posting this I found the below link in my email. This will give alternatives to my my Google mantra. It seems to be from Aug 2008.
Build Yourself A Virtual Cloud To Fall Back On

I am looking at the possibilities of the OS in the cloud; Micro$oft is developing this but I signed up for an account with Cloudo.com.
