Good commentary -- Mark - Mark Masterson

I thought I had bookmarked this aeons ago. Oh well, better late than never. - Mark Masterson

Perhaps the most important thing for execs to read at my employer that I've read in quite awhile. - Mark - Mark Masterson

Awesome. One of the best, layman-acessible descriptions of the "cloud concept" I've ever seen. -- Mark - Mark Masterson

Great post from one of Cisco's recent acquisitions, Stevie Chambers. - Mark Masterson

What non-networking geeks often fail to understand is how imprecise current techniques for measuring latency (which is not the same thing as response time) really are. This is a very cool idea. - Mark Masterson

Java PaaS just took another huge leap forward - Mark Masterson

Brilliant. I've been struggling to articulate several of these points, like 4 and 9, but not as cleanly as this. Must read. - Mark Masterson

More of Hoff's great graphics - Mark Masterson

Multiple cloud orchestration... On-premise, "private" cloud elasticity... And open source... Oh my! - Mark Masterson

Yep. If I can get one of my clones to work on it for me, this is worth a blog post of a response... - Mark Masterson

This is a really, REALLY big deal. Really. - Mark Masterson

Billing, billing, billing. Indeed. - Mark Masterson

The Datacenter as a computer -- Goog's strategy for world domination - Mark Masterson

James Schiro, Zurich's CEO, talking about his use of YouTube (and some commentary on social software in general). - Mark Masterson

This sort of thing is a big part of the FUTURE of the Cloud. Which, in turn, is why folks that focus *exclusively* on "utility"-like metaphors (like, say, Nick Carr) are wrong. - Mark Masterson

Interesting. Like rPath or CFT's ElasticServer, plus lots of other interesting things. - Mark Masterson

Press release of the official kickoff of the OCCI, currently the most promising of the various cloud standards efforts - Mark Masterson

"I blame rock and roll..." - Kevin Johnson

Actually....it's not computers, it's the politically correct movement that turned into an idiotic over overprotection of kids these days. When is the last time you heard a parent tell their kid to go outside and play when it meant playing football in the street? Even on a side street? You don't see that anymore. Everyone's afraid to let their kids be kids. Obviously you want to keep them safe, but c'mon. - Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ

What Salesforce OUGHT to do, but is resisting. The smaller player (LongJump) takes the risk, therefore, and tires to disrupt. Will be interesting to watch. SFDC is getting squeezed on one side by this, byt things like Stax, Heroku, and now Java on GAE on the other. Salesforce's "we are the Excel/ Access apps of the cloud" argument is convincing, but locks them into that same niche, at the same time. Tough call. - Mark Masterson

Great, great piece. Absolutely spot on - Mark Masterson
