The Wall Street Journal<\/a> and Reuters<\/a> had some great quotes that came out of an analyst session with Oracle’s Larry Ellison. During the session he blasts the idea of “Cloud Computing” as the latested over-hyped buzzword. While there’s some truth in what he says, it’s also true that Oracle is late to coming around to on-Demand and “Cloud Computing”.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve redefined \u2018cloud computing\u2019 to include everything we currently do. So it has already achieved dominance in the industry. I can\u2019t think of anything that isn\u2019t cloud computing.<\/p>\n

The computer industry is the only industry that is more fashion-driven than women\u2019s fashion. Cloud Computing. I remember I was reading W and I read that orange is the new pink. And cloud is the new SaaS. (Software as a Service) Or cloud is the new virtualization. It is the most nonsensical. I mean I read these articles \u2026 I have no idea what anybody is talking about. I mean it is really just complete gibberish.
\nWhat is it? What is it? \u2026 Is it – \u2018Oh, I am going to access data on a server on the Internet.\u2019 That is cloud computing?<\/p>\n

Then there is a definition: What is cloud computing? It is using a computer that is out there. That is one of the definitions: \u2018That is out there.\u2019 These people who are writing this crap are out there. They are insane. I mean it is the stupidest.
\nWhen is this idiocy going to stop? What the hell is cloud computing?<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll make cloud computing announcements because if orange is the new pink, we\u2019ll make orange\u2026 Okay fine, we\u2019ll do some cloud. Maybe we\u2019ll do an ad. I don\u2019t know what we\u2019ll do differently in light of cloud computing other than change the wording on some of our ads. It\u2019s crazy. So that\u2019s my view.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
