Death to the Desktop! Long Live the Cloud!
,----[ Quote ]
| I have a feeling that the desktop operating
| system as we know it is on its last leg. The
| reason I make such a bold statement is that
| cloud computing will replace our fat,
| bloated, virus-riddled, failure-prone desktop
| with something far more agile and elegant: A
| lightweight browser-based system. This sounds
| like good news to me. I've waited for a
| server-centric world for several years now
| and the time is almost upon us. In this brave
| new cloud world, you'll have access to all of
| your documents, music, data, pictures and
| applications regardless of the device in your
| hands.

eyeOS Takes the Operating System Into the Cloud
,----[ Quote ]
| With the rising popularity of cloud computing, entire operating systems
| designed to work in the cloud should come as no surprise. Indeed, virtual
| computing environments are becoming so predominate that some suspect Google's
| development of the Chrome browser -- and more recently the Chrome operating
| system -- is nothing more than cloud computing in disguise.

First Look: eyeOS 1.8.5 - A first look in the cloud
,----[ Quote ]
| In the past, having your head in the clouds was generally regarded as a bad
| thing. Nowadays, everybody wants to have their share of The Cloud. Having all
| your digital stuff somewhere on a server, ready to be accessed from virtually
| anywhere, is bliss for some and an absolute nightmare for others. While I
| know the fact that my files will never be completely safe in the cloud, I
| also know that they aren't completely safe on a local Internet-connected
| computer either, so I am ready to embrace (within some limits) the Cloud.

| The best part is that you'll be able to save your documents not only in
| eyeOS' format but also either as .doc (Microsoft Word's format) or as .odt
| (Open Document Text).

| In episode 2x14 of The Bad Apples Linux Cast, I talked about all manners of
| portable operating systems, including web-based, shell accounts, and usb
| drive OS's. One of the web-based systems was eyeOS (eyeos.info for demo) and
| I remember being impressed and intrigued but a little underwhelmed by
| performance.

| Enter threethirty, a fellow host of Linux Cranks and an all-around
| adventurous guy. One weekend he decides to learn how to set up a server, and
| then all week long he's loading up all kinds of insanely cool web services
| for everyone to fool around with. He put opengoo (online office suite) on his
| server, and then eyeOS.

The eyeOS: A Review
,----[ Quote ]
| The eyeOS has been making ripples among enthusiasts of âcloudâ computing. It
| intends to serve as an Operating System which can be accessed anywhere
| through a web browser. One just has to install the eyeOS on to one's web
| server or use the web hosting solution provided by the vendors themselves. On
| top of that, it is one of the first open source offerings on the cloud
| (Google, even though running on open source components, is in itself
| proprietary).

| conversions between lots of formats to the eyeOS native ones trought some
