| Oct 25, 2012 at 17:54 | comment | added | Tom Anderson | John McCarthy wrote in 1983 that "The major technical error of my 1959 ideas was an underestimation of the computer capacity required for time-sharing. I still don't understand where all the computer time goes in time-sharing installations, and neither does anyone else.", so at least some of the features of cloud computing had been discovered that far back! | |

| Oct 24, 2012 at 2:46 | comment | added | mattnz | Previous attempts ate remote computing required the customer pay for the service in cash, making for easy to read P&Ls in financial reports and simple to understand business models. Businesses operating in "The Cloud" have other, less traditional revenue streams, making the "The Cloud" cheap (even free) to it's users, and "profitable" to the suppliers - no one ever asks "how do they fund that service". Follow to money... If you can..... | |

| Oct 23, 2012 at 14:23 | comment | added | Jimmy Hoffa | en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing#History great detail starting in the 50's on, when it first appeared, it didn't appear earlier because computers weren't viable for this stuff before the 50's, or maybe just nobody had the idea before then ;) | |
