Cloud computing questions...
Help me understand this.
I get that its all the rage, and i love backing up and collaborating my school and work documents on google docs. But that is really just a backup or an easy way to work on the same document on multiple computers without using a thumb drive or transporting a laptop. I still like having a copy of the document saved on my hard drive and working on word on my computer because I dont always have internet access.
Documents and pictures seem like great things to store online. But now it seems that song storage is all the rage. My question is why? What am i missing.
that seems like it would be a pain to stream songs to listen to them on your iphone or droid or whatever rather than just having them stored on the device itself. First of all, what if you dont have internet access? (like flying, which is when i mostly use portable music/videos) Does that mean you cant listen to your music or watch a movie? What if you have internet access but it is slow, like in the country or when you have bad cell reception? Also, wouldn't this really drive up your data usage rates for people who dont have unlimited data cellular plans? Finally, i have noticed that streaming music via bluetooth to my car stereo is lower quality than just plugging in USB, wouldn't streaming music via at 3G cell speeds be of lower quality than playing it stored on the device itself?
I think it would be great to store music online for occasional use such as if you are on a friend's or office computer and want to listen to your music but i dont think it would be a great full time solution.
A woman goes to the doctor to figure out why she is having breathing problems...The doctor tells her she is overweight. She says she wants a second opinion...the doctor says, "your ugly".
