Maybe it's just my inner rebel, refusing to bow down to marketing

@dafyre
You "could" be a genius billionaire playboy philanthropist with a collection of high powered armoured suits. I'm not saying the cloud term has not been ruined and abused by the marketing nutters. I'm just suggesting why not start to change it?

What I'm trying to say is not everything IS a cloud app. Just because it runs on the internet on someone else's server does not make it a cloud app

@scottalanmiller

Would it not be accurate to call Netflix a cloud-app. Spotify a cloud-app?

My single server PHP/SQL based contact list?

But is it really? Even SMBs should really be considering if they need onsite storage any more. So learning that particular skill might really not be worth it. just another way to look at it.

I think the three areas which stop them might be.

Low broadband. - If you don't have it fast, do you really want/need everyone streaming music down?

You don't like America - Where can you buy the same cheap hosted storage in the GBs and TBs apart from an American owned company?

My data is safer on site - Misconceived but I keep hearing this.

But cloud app is just confusion city. You really need to give more detail than "It's a cloud_____"

A web app is installed and deployed onto a single server.

A cloud app, Is installed and deployed onto multiple servers in perfect sync.

Probably wrong but this is my definition. The problem I have with paragraph 2 is you can use Java script for both.

From a cursory glance, it looks like terms slapped together. I half agree with him in paragraph 2, really hard to evaluate when taken out of context.

I love Synology. Use the ITunes function with a team of 6.

Many were just wives running a tax shelter for their husbands, it was a hobby and had zero hopes of ever making a penny, that wasn't the goal. Some were there to make money, but only just enough to get by.

Very jealous of this.

That's what I keep telling people when I point out how many terrorist plots I have personally foiled!

Just look thoughtful and say "I did it with DevOps"

Good thing the NSA has stopped dozens of terrorist attacks...oh wait they haven't stopped a single one.

Can you prove that they have not?

Someone is bitter about losing the Patriot Act.

Non-shared storage through OneDrive for Business is awesome. It's personal storage for each user with features like DropBox has, for free, with a lot of capacity that users can use. This is very handy and can replace a lot of traditional file server usage.

IMO It will be awesome when Microsoft fix the sync client. I lost track of the hours lost due to OneDrive problems, corrupted libraries, 5000 library item limits, ugh.

OneDrive is the annoying cousin of the 365 family, everyone else are rock stars, OneDrive is the travelling clown. Not it's biggest fan.

I'll just leave this here.

I used them for a bit but I changed to todoist.

Hmm thought so, I guess that makes history tracking unreliable as you'd only see the decent sites, unless you had them logged off the machine. elsewhere.

Correct. It works over a network to view a remote computer's IE history. If the user deletes their history, then it won't work. In that scenario, I expect I would become suspicious as to why the user was deleting their history.

Can you selectively delete IE history entries? I've not tried it but could they do that?

I've personally taken the view of not trying to offer a service like this, or pretending to be big enough to offer it.

The client will eventually catch you out, It's better to be upfront with them that you provide x/y/z and another provider will offer q/r/s instead.

Cloud@Cost looked amazing on paper, yet many of us from experience have shunned them (rightly so) I would encourage you to trial/test out different providers VMs before going anywhere near offering them to a customer.

That Webroot screenshot is slightly comical.

Maybe it has something to do with Webroot's commitment to supporting XP until 2020? Winding up MS.
