Sick of Hearing about the Cloud? Here's a Browser Plug-in for You

story imageCloud, cloud, cloud, cloud, cloud. Tired of hearing it? I am. Especially if you know something about server technologies, it's not hard to recognize the cloud is only marginally better than other server technologies, but is being marketed to death by breathless corporate drones who see it as an opportunity to sell, sell, sell.

If that's your case, then you need this browser plug-in, cloud-to-butt . Written by somebody who's sicker of it than you are, it replaces all occurrences of "the cloud" on a webpage with "my butt." Check out the screenshots for some hilarious examples.

This has been a Pipedot Public Service Announcement [PPSA].

[Ed. Note: plugin is available for Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera, so you can be sure your butt's covered]

For Firefox there is also the excellent FoxReplace Addon. It lets you define arbitrary replacements.
Especially in the light of newspeak this is interesting. (For german there's the neusprech.org blog with examples of words used in the public debate.)
