bobby12 0 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 You can use webDAV instead, that is like an encrypted version of FTP, and you can put IP restriction on it too so only PCs in specified offices can access. Link to post Share on other sites
Error404 0 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I am going to need a lot of convincing on this cloud idea. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Cloud computing is ideal from a consumer point of view as it means you Don't need expensive hardware or expensive software Licenses-at the moment. It is the way forward now for computing - not quite in 5years as the infrastructure isn't advanced yet enough for Joe Public to reap the benefits of it. Businesses will be the first to benefit as some people have attested to in regards to documents and Google apps. When usershave the same functionality on these apps as they do at home, with secure networks too, thats when it'll take off Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I have no idea what you lot are talking about!! WTF is cloud computing? Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Simple example: yahoomail or gmail. your data is stored on their server, they provide the mail in/out function and the software to operate it runs in your browser though it behaves like a desktop app. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I still don't really know what you mean, thanks for trying tho! I was never any good at Computers! Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I'll have a go. Yuo know how now your Word documents or whatever are saved on your computer? With this cloud thingy, the file won't be saved on your computer - but somewhere online. You'd need to be connected to t'inta to get them. No connection, no files matey. Or something like that.

bobby12 0 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I see Google Wave has been released to limited users. This quote made me laugh out loud: "Google Wave runs in most browsers, with the notable exception of Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE). Users of IE will have to download a plug-in, known as Chrome Frame to use the application. " This is clearly 'web developers revenge' for years of having to rewrite websites to get them to work on IE. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 i recently gave this a try (got my finger on the pulse, me! )　for the first time and while its very fast, it often crashes...or more to the point a message comes up saying that the Shockwave Flash plug-in has crashed and I can't watch video content on websites. Anyone else get this or able to help me get rid of this problem? Also have no idea how to download torrents on it.....it opens up my iTunes automatically for some reason and doesn't start to download anything Link to post Share on other sites

bobby12 0 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Chrome is my main browser now. simple and fast, like how IE used to be back in the day. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Not that I really care about browsers to even post this, but Chrome is no faster than IE9. Not on my computer anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander L 80 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 IE 8 was being messed about by a lot of sites I tried. Finally decided to ditch it. Now using Chrome and internet just got a lot faster. The pages download in half the time. No more IE. Link to post Share on other sites
