Which devices has the most limited computing functionality?
Non-computing devices.
Computers are distinguished from other computing devices by their ability to?
Assuming that computers a subset of the higher class of "computing devices" then the first question is what belongs in the computing devices higher class that doesn't belong in the computers subclass. It's difficult to say because everything that belongs in the computing devices class could be classified as a "computer" as well, because it computes by definition of being a computing device. Typically when we refer to computers, we specifically mean main frame computers, mini-computers, or personal computers. We don't typically mean cell phones, calculators, or personal data assistants (PDA's) though all of these undoubtedly compute. What distinguishes computers from these devices, in general, is their ability to be programmed to do custom tasks that they were not originally developed to do. Most of the other computing devices can not be programmed in and of themselves to do other tasks they were not originally designed to do, however there are exceptions. Cell phones can run custom applications (though you cannot typically write the applications on the cell phone itself. The same goes for PDAs and calculators. Some of the more complex calculators are not unlike some of the first personal computers in their ability to be programmed, but their programming power is rather limited. In short, computers can be programmed, but so can many of the other computing devices, but still it does distinguish them from many of the other computing devices because ALL computers can be programmed, whereas only a subset of the other computing devices can be programmed.

Cloud Computing Will Mature as Hype Begins to Fade?
The phrase "cloud computing" is still a buzzword, driving people to syncrhonize their devices, however, as the concept ages, the phrase will drop away and simply be thought of as computing. As the hype falls away, fit and function will become more important in cloud computing needs. Security will be improved, with identities managed in individuals clouds. Huge, central databases will become common while mobile devices will continue to become more powerful and thinner.
What does the term hosted cloud computing mean?
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing as a service rather than a product, whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices as a metered service over a network (typically the Internet).[1] Computing clouds provide computation, software, data access, and storage resources without requiring cloud users to know the location and other details of the computing infrastructure. Within limits, cloud users can consume any amount of these resources without having first to acquire servers or other computing equipment.
When was Network Computing Devices created?

Who invented speech?
Speech is a natural ability of humans to communicate verbally, developed over thousands of years. It is difficult to attribute its invention to a single individual, as communication through speech likely evolved as early humans interacted with each other and developed language skills.
What is mobile computing?
Mobile computing technologies are wireless computing technologies such as laptops, tablet-PCs, cellular phones, fusion devices and Bluetooth enable devices. Mobile computing technologies have these characteristics: Connectivity, Individuality, Portability and Social Interactivity.
What is the primary pathways of computing devices?
Software
