Oh yes, the word is "anonymous slander" and I also appreciate the fact that many a times ideas don't come out just because you are too scared. I was just trying to point out the irresponsible use which is kind of bound to happen if given in

Why can't we call VPS as cloud! I think the "cloudy" character does not come just because we do not know how or where is it running or what the hardware is, it comes more because I can deploy an application or store a data somewhere on the

This totally reminds me of a recent incident where someone suggested me to file for patents just because I am not getting success with the products/business I am building/trying to build. I did not get the point! However I have to admit tha
