Google Infrastructure Czar: Cloud Is About Getting It Done

http://j.mp/fG6dlg  (Gigaom)

      "I wanted to know, because frankly, the usage of "cloud" has been
       hijacked for marketing purposes, thanks to indiscriminate labeling of
       anything and everything on the Internet. Urs has a pretty clear and
       concise idea of what the cloud means to him (and Google) and what it's
       good for.  For Hlzle, cloud-based computing comes into play when you
       have "very big computers that are basically buildings" or very small
       computers (such as smart phones) - and nothing in between. The small
       devices can get all the functionality from the big computer, which he
       has defined as the warehouse-scale computer."
