Richard Stallman vs. Cloud Computing

Posted by Ben Smith on Tue, Sep 30, 2008 @ 11:12 AM

I could have started this post with "Richard Stallman vs. the next thing that he doesn't have source to" but I decided to stay on point.

Guardian has posted and article in which Richard Stallman complains about Cloud Computing saying that web based services are a trap and we're all giving all of our precious data away to the big boys out there.

This type of comment is to be expected from Stallman, the founder of FSF and the creator of GNU who was featured prominently in the open source documentary "Revolution OS" from 2001.  His interviews and comments in the documentary reveal that he wants all source to be open and free. 

IMHO, his idealistic views lower his credibility on the subject...
