Could you explain detail description of "

There are a lot of theories about what cloud computing is. However, the does not come close to stacking up.
Most clouds are a group of servers that are hosted by a 3rd party (like Amazon). All of the servers are kind of hypervisor (VMWare, XEN, Kvm, Cytrix Xenserver) or container based virtualization technology (Virtuoso). A custom can create 1 or more guests operating systems. Then you start and stop the guest operating systems when you need them and only pay for the time you use.
Clouds typically have a high performance cost (they are slow) associated with them, but if you only need access to use these servers about 20% of the it may pay off. This is also a great crutch for start ups that can't afford the capital investment to purchase servers.
Another issue is that you really are sharing servers and storage, so it is very likely that someone else could read your data.

For make this happen, you use several technologies and/or ways of work, like web 2.0, software presented as a service, and it uses standards to integrate all its parts, like HTTP, XMPP, SSL, OpenID, Ajax, etc.

They all work together and never idle.
In a little more technical terms.
A group of networked computers using usually a proprietary platform designed to utilize cluster processing and file storage sharing.
I usually strongly recommend against using cloud computing.
And so do allot of other well known people.
For instance the creator of the linux operating system also strongly recommends against it.
Cloud computing can in some cases be very dangerous.
Please read up more about it before using such a platform.

Cloud computing is actually very simple. A "cloud" is a large network of regular computers that has been linked together with networking software and essential acts as one super computer. A particular problem is separated into lots and lots pieces and each computer figures out their piece and all the results are then return and compiled into the answer.

Cloud computing stands for development and/or use of computer technology over the internet. Cloud is really another way to say "Internet". For make this happen, you use several technologies and/or ways of work, like web 2.0, software presented as a service, and it uses standards to integrate all its parts, like HTTP, XMPP, SSL, OpenID, Ajax, etc.

Cloud computing is an advanced form of Thin Client technology. The "Cloud" represents everything on the outside of your router. The theory is that 99% of the software that you use can be hosted by the Cloud (The Servers you connect to). An e-mail account is a good example. If you have a Hotmail or a Gmail e-mail, then you use an application that is hosted by either Microsoft or Google to access your e-mail. This is Cloud computing, in it's simplest form.

In laymen terms Basically its a bunch of computers networked that share the power of every computer logged on. They all work together and never idle.

What do you mean " never idle?" They are often idle. Most applications do not scale infinitely, so they can't just be spread across more computers to run faster. There also needs to be some slack in the cloud to accept new requests in a timely manner.

Cloud Computing allows one to solve very complex mathematical or otherwise scientific problems by employing the help of numerous Internet--connected computers. It simply takes a big problem slicing it up like a big pizza pie and distributing a slice to each to these many PCs. They then work on their slice of the problem and return the results to be reassembled into a grand solution.
