Just watch this and if you don't think it sounds cool, I don't know what to tell you...

Can you explain from a technical sense what that means, outside of it being a buzzword soup with a feature, that it isn't the same thing as dedicated servers or it can't be done?  Watch the videogame.  He said that the cloud makes it easier to hook up dedicated servers.  Outside of that, what else is it?  

Again, how does it do it in ways you don't get today with dedicated servers?  

Technically speaking, I had a job at one time, where I had to administer over 700 Unix servers in a batch pool, and a controller program would manage all that.  For me, that is cloud computing and am had pressed to see otherwise.  But, please feel free to.  Of course, what is going on with cloud is more complex with that, and makes administering servers easier.  But, beyond that, can you explain how cloud computing isn't anything but a name for virtualized servers?
