A new take on cloud computing...

This concept surely is interesting... There has been a lot of talk about cloud computing lately, but this is a slightly different approach.

The concept is basically that any unit you have (pc, phone, whatever) will have clone out in the cloud. This means that heavy processing tasks will be taken care of by the clone. This means that suddenly you will be able to do task that before was impossible to do on your unit. Think photoshopping on your iphone. But also imagine the perspectives here. Accelerating computing power accelerates innovation...
