Attempts by Dell to trademark the term "cloud computing" have hit a pothole with the US Trademarks Office re-examining the application.

A trademark on the term Cloud Computing?

Money-grabbing ******s...

Cloud computing has been talked about for years - long before Dell decided to get in on the act.

It's the networking equivalent of "here be dragons" on a network map.

Actually, it's supposed to - in the article engine, the URL tag opens links in the same window while the EURL tag opens in a new window (i.e. 'external URL'). The tag was broken because I'd missed off 'http://' from the start of the link, which the URL/EURL tags need.

Anyway, 'tis fixed now.
