History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes. Callbacks to the infrastructure laid out during dotcom bubble, i.e Cisco, and all of the networking infrastructure. Likewise, internal memos at Oracle indicate they're losing money on their hardware. Anecdotal and hand wavy; but there are plenty of signals out there that it won't pay off. I'm not arguing one way or the other, but there are plenty of arguments for it to not succeed in a way that's required to justify the mind boggling growth we've been experiencing.
