Distributed computing grows

Oh, so Sam Palmisano made CEO of IBM. Guess that was expected. He wants to focus on on-demand computing (his word for corporatising distributed computing projects).

Shortly, there will be companies creating this [distributed computing] market — focusing on aggregating the retail computing power, and using them across several projects. (Google is already trying to do that through its toolbar, and so is Intel.)

And now, IBM. I was prophetic 🙂
