Microsoft has moved into Google territory with their Sky Drive.

Google calls it Cloud Computing; MS calls its Sky Drive.

It could also be called Sky File, File in the Sky, Sky Files, Quiver (as in holder of arrows), or Cumulus.



You get 5Gb and both shareable and private folders.

The difference is that Google Docs includes online software, so you can create documents on the fly (to continue with the airborne analogy).

Sky Drive is limited to file storage only.

"Booker Prize-winning author Salman Rushdie will both join the faculty of Emory University [in Atlanta] as Distinguished Writer in Residence and place his archive at Emory's Woodruff Library. Rushdie will serve a five-year appointment in the English Department, beginning in spring 2007. According to Emory officials, Rushdie will teach for "at least four weeks, lead a graduate seminar, participate in undergraduate classes, advise students, engage in symposia, and deliver a public lecture." Rushdie's relationship with Emory began in 2004, when he delivered the prestigious Ellmann Lectures, named for eminent literary scholar Richard Ellmann. Even though Rushdie is under contract to teach for just five years, Steve Enniss, director of the Manuscript, Archives, & Rare Book Library, confirmed that Emory has taken ownership of the Rushdie papers and "they will remain a permanent part of Emory." There was a financial component to the deal, details of which were not made public.'
