   should have it.

The Web (circa 1996)

clients of servers,
we cannot be
independent

Kynetx has built an
operating system for
personal clouds.
Our model supports
collections of connected,
programable persistent data
objects that can
represent any thing
Our model is decentralized & networked:

created some little tags that

CloudOS isn’t

Web desktop
OS for devices (TinyOS)
Distributed OS (Inferno)
Because it allows you to
act as a peer,
a CloudOS...
...orchestrates and coordinates
online interactions
...enables cooperating
networks of products and
                 services
...supports intention-driven
                 automation
...transforms the way you
    interact with the world
