gOS Gadget Aims Ubuntu At Cloud Computing

DeviceGuru writes "The gOS project has released version 3.1 of its Ubuntu-based Google-centric distribution. The release draws its packages from the Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) repositories, but adds a bright green theme and a few alterations in default applications, but more importantly adorns its desktop with numerous gadgets based on the Mozilla Prism project along with an animated application-launch icon set based on the wbar project."

is a myth

This is very true. This whole cloud hype is not really a cloud. It will end up being a small number of very large datacenters that do everything. True cloud computing will be when every node on the internet shares it's cached data and is able to supply resources (processing cycles, hard drive space, etc.) to the rest of the nodes on the internet. While each node will not represent a significant portion of the resources nor will each necessarily be physically located close to each other it will provide a truly uncoupled approach to the internet.
