Linux: âThe Cloudâ, Tablets, Desktop PCs and Control

| On the other hand, the tablet PC systems I
| see so far are limited to control by some
| folks other than myself. You see, for now
| these are closed consumer devices that do not
| allow me to install or choose my own
| operating system and only work best when
| connected to âthe cloudâ. The tablets by
| Apple come with all the restrictions that
| come with any Apple system, only worse in
| this case. The tablets from Google are at
| least supposed to use an open source
| operating system. But still, Googleâs
| dedication to âcloud computingâ puts their
| tablet in a questionable light as far as
| control over âmy stuffâ is concerned. At
| least with a laptop, notebook or netbook PC I
| can still have a local disk installed with my
| operating system of choice, a complete set of
| productivity applications installed and full
| control over my own data. No access to the
| ânet? That is no problem with a device with
| local storage where I can keep my data and
| work on it with locally installed
| applications.
