Leaving Facebook in Droves over Privacy Fears

What's everyone's view on the whole "Cloud Thing"?

It's just a mainframe, isn't it?

Facebook and twitter are the largest nodes of human communication. Apply this overviewing subtextual linguistic diagnostic technology

it's 20 mins however, to me at least the grasp of the potential implications coming from such humble individual beginnings as a dad using tech to map his kids linguistics to an overview of our collective linguistic and conceptual state is staggering.

you are in the realm of the worlds subconscious being manifest.

and being manifest means it's a tool, a toy, an implement, which makes me picture us as bees, our hive being poked with sticks , or minnows being led by pebbles dropped from above.
I may be mistaken.

oh it's a profound thing! akin to the period in evolutionary history when the first multicelled organisms developed from theretofore only single celled ones.

will humans begin to specialize in a similar manner to cells?

i see the day coming in our lifetime when these cellphone internet-connectred things will be attached to our bodies, the batteries powered by our bodies. of course this will be those who can afford it and not everybody.

i've been experiencing a very powerful connection to my stepdaughter just lately amplifiesd by these devices. i will think of her, pull out my phone to text her, and she will be texting me at that very moment. happening a couple of times a day lately.

LOL! Whatevers. Sheesh! Wow. Just wow. Wait a minute. I can't say 'Wow, just wow.' I already said, 'Sheesh' and LOL'd. Hm. A dilemma. Anyways, FaceSpace is awesome, like Obama!

In fact, I have no idea why or how myspace can even exist as not one person nor band I know or follow ever logs in there. In the minds of many, facebook is too perfect.

There is truth to what you say about myspace, but I book gigs and, still, more than ninety percent of the musicians submitting use myspace as their website.

What struck me was the use of the tech to watch linguistic nodes, words, phrases etc, rise from the soup of communication in real time as the internet fed on them. Some rose and then declined while others, as they all did, started small and then produced massive topographies of activity.

I don't think facebook and twitter are any more profound than any other popular communication medium but this meta stuff, tools applied to that communication that reveals it's , well our, collective mind, well that's just more subtext than I've ever imagined being made visible before.

And for those with the means to both drop the pebbles and watch the ripples... mind=blown

Music only and perhaps some documents here and there and that is all. I figure if I'm already listening to their Laurel Canyon shit they already think they got me. But no. No to cloud anything.

The thing that routinely blows my mind is how many hard drives must they exponentially add in order to store all this data per day. It certainly seems to be a Sisyphean task. One that simply requires human management in order to get the potential "secret police" out in the field quickly in order to determine what is to be archived and what goes by the wayside.

LMFAO!!! Yes, yes, it is and bless you for your rare clarity.

One thing it is is removing infrastructure from you and I and returning it to other entities.

Its an attempt to create and control a market and to drive a new generation of saleable consumable tech shite.

* There are serious questions about the security of "cloud computing," even as the U.S. government prepares to embrace that technology in a big way for its cost savings.

You mean, more than we already have, by taking up professions within a society?
