May be the point is to have "captive users" instead to enforce the productivity and cost involved.

Really horrible.

All of this cloud based computing really doesn't sit right with me. Feels DRMish.]]>Sep 22nd 2008 9:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/22/technovus-intros-atom-powered-nova-navigator-cloud-computer/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/22/technovus-intros-atom-powered-nova-navigator-cloud-computer/
"Hey Mr. Consumer, just do all of your work using these shared applications over networks we control, and store all of your data and personal information on our servers, and by the way thanks for letting us track your every action and activity so we can use that data later for whatever purpose we like."

Um, yeah, sounds like a great idea. /sarcasm

In India, you have download speeds up to even 8 mbps. The most commonly used one is BSNL's 2 mbps with 5 GB limit per month which costs only 250 rupees ($6) per month. Don't know which planet you are from.]]>Sep 23rd 2008 12:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/22/technovus-intros-atom-powered-nova-navigator-cloud-computer/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/22/technovus-intros-atom-powered-nova-navigator-cloud-computer/The problem is that the way its being used is bad
Imagine if a company would be able to use this in a successful way
It would allow for thinner laptops or allowing current laptops to have more stuff instead of the harddrive
Or maybe even both? Have a small SSD with important stuff on your laptop and use the "Cloud" for everything else]]>Sep 22nd 2008 9:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/22/technovus-intros-atom-powered-nova-navigator-cloud-computer/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/22/technovus-intros-atom-powered-nova-navigator-cloud-computer/

The idea of subscription sounds crazy, but then the same could be said about some online computer games which now do the same, you are paying for a service that guarantees your apps and data are secure and always up to date, if someone stole this from your house they would not have any personal data... I think the government should take a look at that bit to save them any more data losses!]]>Sep 22nd 2008 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/22/technovus-intros-atom-powered-nova-navigator-cloud-computer/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/22/technovus-intros-atom-powered-nova-navigator-cloud-computer/Sep 22nd 2008 1:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/22/technovus-intros-atom-powered-nova-navigator-cloud-computer/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/22/technovus-intros-atom-powered-nova-navigator-cloud-computer/
We were using X11 diskless workstations and sharing applications almost 20 years ago.

And walking to school in snow 6 feet deep, 5 miles round trip, uphill both ways.

I can't believe that companies are still trying to push this cloud computing crap. They've been trying to flog this shite for over 25 years and STILL nobody wants it. There are just too many variables for anyone to even think they could *rely* on cloud computing.

I am the co-founder of TechNovus Corp. We are based in Adelaide, Australia.

Thanks for posting the info here.

I wanted to clarify to you and your readers that we are launching this in Australia next month.

The product is designed and manufactured by our Indian Partner, Novatium Solutions. Novatium is launching in India.

The subscription price is a high limit and will include more than just storage. This is not set in stone and more details will be provided next month.

Cheers,
