Cloud Computing Will Produce the Next Mark Zuckerberg The next king or queen of science and technology will come from the cloud, I predict. Budding geniuses wanting to make a name for themselves must master cloud computing. Naysayers wag their fingers with conservative statements like “the cloud is far too new to generate history-making change. Not just yet.” My opinion? Fooey. Cloud computing is new but not nascent. It’s an open frontier just waiting for a brazen cowboy to stand up as sheriff. I doubt we’ll all be moving from Facebook to “Cloud”-Book anytime soon. Yet ignoring the potential for

Cloud Apps of the Week You’ve successfully rung in 2012, but if you’re in the United States — particularly on the East Coast — a nasty cold spell has put an abrupt end to the celebration. Thankfully, three new applications should warm your spirits once more, with their clever grasp on how the cloud can prove useful in 2012. Oftentimes, cloud applications seem more concerned with demonstrating impressive “cloud-ness” instead of creating an ingenious spin on a specific niche. A new woodworking app, called “dustCut” from Online Softworx, dodges this trend. It keeps the emphasis on the lumber without feeling
