== SETI@home/Folding@home/etc.? ==
 
After reading through this article, I feel more confused than before regarding Cloud Computing. Since "Cloud" measn the general internet, so does distributed computing projects like SETI@home and Folding@home belong to the concept of Cloud Computing? As I understand from the article, they are basically raw computing power coming from the cloud to solve a problem, so are they cloud computing or not? <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Ufopedia|Ufopedia]] ([[User talk:Ufopedia|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ufopedia|contribs]]) 08:44, 10 June 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
 
: Added per your suggestion - it doesn't matter whether the computing is done on a grid, by the neighbour's screensaver or a room full of monkeys... that abstraction is one of the fundamental features of cloud computing.
