As luck would have it, I knew nothing about Larry Ellison’s rant at the Churchill Club on Sept. 21 about cloud computing when I wrote last week’s piece on cloud computing. I saw it on YouTube. You have to admit that Larry is a heck of a showman, and the video is fun to watch. But whenever someone in that kind of situation starts to nit pick over definitions, it says to me that they’re hoping no one will notice that they might be a bit threatened by a next-generation technology.
