As founder of Oracle, one of the pre-internet powerhouse technology companies, you might expect Larry Ellison to be cynical of all this talk about cloud computing. He is.

The audio in this clip could be crisper, but Ellison’s sentiments couldn’t be clearer as he lampoons the fad labels such as “cloud computing” that the tech world embraces on a semi-annual basis.

    Great video – Ellison is obnoxiously charming. He released the Network Computer in 96 which was an early version of “cloud computing” an idea ahead of its time. Methinks he’s a little bitter.

    I think “The cloud” is a useful shorthand, but I love iconoclasts, especially iconic ones.

    I dislike Ellison vehemently for what he and the other egomaniac Bertarelli did with the America’s Cup in Valencia so anything he says has to be tainted by that. Selfish egomaniac.
