::: Btw, and why would CapEx decrease with number of users (as you say, and as the diagram shows in the red area)? Decreases PER USER, yes, but that is not what the diagram is showing - it shows a total cost, not a per-user cost. Or does the lower red area show cost per-user and the upper cost total? mixing apples and pears in the same diagram? No, this diagram makes no sense.[[Special:Contributions/85.225.9.160|85.225.9.160]] ([[User talk:85.225.9.160|talk]])Magmatrix <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|undated]] comment added 08:28, 29 May 2009 (UTC).</span><!--Template:Undated--> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
== The Times vs. The London Times ==
 
From this editor's point of view, "The London Times" should be used to avoid ambiguity. According to the Wikipedia page about The London Times: "The Times is the original "Times" newspaper, lending its name to many other papers around the world, such as The New York Times, The Times of India, The Straits Times, The Times of Malta and The Irish Times. For specificity it is sometimes referred to as the London Times or The Times of London."--[[User:Bkengland|Bkengland]] ([[User talk:Bkengland|talk]]) 18:24, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 
== This article needs EXAMPLES badly ==
 
Really--the intro for this article is very vague. I'm not a novice computer user by any stretch of the imagination and I think I do a pretty good job of keeping up with current technology. What I'm saying is I actually had to READ the article--I should be able to get an idea of what cloud computing is from the first two sentences. Ideally sentence one defines it, sentence two is an example as necessary--here it is very necessary.
 
Worse still, I go to read the article, and I get down to "Brief", and from the first section, instead of getting an explanation of what cloud computing is, I get a list of things that it might be confused with.
 
Consider some serious revision for clarity--sacrifice the technical details in the beginning for some much-needed examples of how someone would interact with a cloud computing service. Instead of reading this article, I went elsewhere on the Internet and read up on cloud computing, and I think I have an idea of what it is, but I can't provide an example.
 
Would someone be willing to add one? [[User:STufaro|STufaro]] ([[User talk:STufaro|talk]]) 01:08, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
