Stumble and Cloud Computing

"Stumble" through Firefox is wonderful. It is a great browsing tool for the internet, much like browsing the stacks in a library full of books. I think it is similar in concept to the new cloud computing model that will emerge in the near future. The browser will be the key and it will be smart, keying into our situations: where, who and what we are and like to explore.

I am excited to see how this new technology will expand the internet and our own psyches. There is a great article on hp.com regarding "The Next Wave: Everything as a Service." I thank Dr. Assefa for turning me on to this new development!
