Engineering in the Clouds
2012-01-03 13:10:00 Many vendors of engineering software — from CAD to project management — have been touting the benefits of cloud-based systems over traditional in-house operations. Among the potential advantages: Reduced IT costs and greater computing power. However, an engineering management expert at C
LENTICULAR CLOUDS
2011-11-16 18:08:00 A lenticular cloud is what happens when Mother Nature decides to "exhale" from a mountain top. Think of it as the cloud version of a smoke ring, except these come from condensed moist air, not your tobacco (or ingredient of preference) pipe. Some of the more famous occurences of this phenomenon have taken place atop renown mountains like Fuji and Shasta. Take a look at these to see exactly what we mean:

Amazon en Google Clouds - IBM: clouds Amazon en Google zijn mistig
2010-10-22 10:44:00 Amazon en Google Clouds is een bericht van: Ber|Art Visual Design and WordPress Webhosting Cloud computing belooft flinke kostenbesparingen, maar dat is volgens IBM niet het belangrijkste. "We willen de hype vermijden." Veel van de gesprekken en berichtgeving over cloud gaat over de mogelijke kostenbesparingen. "Die zijn er wel, maar daar gaat het niet om. De besparing is niet de volledige waarde van cloud", vertelt vice-president David Parker, verantwoordelijk voor cloud marketing bij IBM.
Clouds all around me
2010-06-15 17:43:00 It may seem, sometimes, that the Lord is not answering your prayers. When this happens, just hang tight.Really hard to do, I understand that. I've been through it myself. If home is where the ill feelings are then who is bringing that into the household? If you already know and don't see a way out, lean hard on the Lord and wait on His perfect timing. It will come.Sometimes you just aren't sure what the problem is. Is it him/her? Is it me? Until all truth is lying out on the table for all to see, you won't find out what the real problem is. This is when you lean even harder and ask the Lord to open your eyes and ears and to give you discernment in the matter.Eventually that egg will crack and out will come the truth, exposing the underlying sickness that is poisoning your very existence. This is what you want - truth. Without it, you wander in darkness with no real answers and no direction.Sometimes you're amazed at what the truth really was. Sometimes that truth hurts but bett...

Shifting Clouds In India – Salesforce.com Realizes India Opportunity
2010-05-25 10:35:00 It was in November 2008 that Salesforce.com first began discussing openly its entry into the Indian market. The initial plan was to focus on select cities viz Hyderabad, Bangalore, Gurgaon and Mumbai. Since then Salesforce.com has steadily seen phenomenal growth in users, developers and revenue. Hence India has rapidly climbed the charts in Salesforce.com’s global expansion plans. Salesforce.com has attempted to make a significant impact on empowering small and medium sized enterprises and individual developers. The major problems faced by these businesses are high cost of software, poor power infrastructure and an unreliable broadband infrastructure. The lack of infrastructure was initially cited as a roadblock to Salesforce.com’s growth also but the company is working to find innovative solutions to circumvent the chronic infrastructure problems in India. According to Doug Farber, Vice President of Salesforce’s Asia Pacific operations,” Yes bandwidth is a problem in India...

Cloudy Times Ahead: MS Office 2010 Takes To The Clouds Against Google
2010-05-17 10:53:00 The Google vs Microsoft battle is an old one. While Google rules the web Microsoft has ruled the desktop office software business for many a years. Since last 5 years though Google has made strides in what one calls cloud based office productivity products. Most famous being Google docs. This has made Google and Microsoft compete harder and trends have started showing that even office productivity tools are moving towards the web. A survey by IDC confirmed the shift towards cloud when19.5% of the respondents were in organisations that used Google Docs in some form which is up from 5.8% a year earlier. This may also be due to the integration of Google docs with Gmail in attachments as a default viewer. Hence Google seems to be intelligently penetrating this market using its clout as the worlds largest search engine and also one of the worlds larger providers of free email service in gmail. But it seems Microsoft has taken a firm step into the cloud by recently launching its Office 2...

I think there is a world market for maybe five clouds
2009-10-11 15:23:00 In 1943, Thomas J. Watson, then President of International Business Machines (IBM), allegedly said ?I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.? Today, industry pundits make similar flawed predictions, claiming that all the market needs is maybe five clouds: Amazon Web Services, Force.com, Google AppEngine, Microsoft Azure, and whatever IBM comes up with. However you define Cloud Computing, this revolutionary step in the 50 year-long evolution of distributed computing (kudos to Darryl Plummer) goes far beyond the few public clouds available today. And while simple principles of economy of scales will most likely limit the number of general purpose public clouds, most of the action will take place on private and virtual private clouds, served from private and virtual private networks. The need for private and virtual private clouds is driven by a combination of factors, many of which were clearly outlined by Gartner's Bruce Robertson in his recent article titled Top Fi...

Salesforce.com (CRM): Profits in the clouds
2009-09-10 06:00:00 "Run properly, as Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM) does, a cloud computing network also offers greater security, greater reliability, and lower costs (thanks to efficiencies of scale)," explains Timothy Lutts.In The Cabot Stock of the Month report, he suggests, "Salesforce.com is very well managed, and in our mind its leadership in cloud computing gives it a fundamental advantage that should translate into growing market share gains and steady revenue flows for years to come.""The company was founded a decade ago by a former Oracle executive, and today it’s a leading vendor of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) services. "But unlike Oracle, which sells software that users install on their own computers, Salesforce.com sells access to its own network, which is where all of its software applications are running. "This business model is called cloud computing, and it makes a lot of sense. With cloud computing, users simply pa...

I'm a silver-lining-in-gray-clouds kind of guy, I guess.
2009-01-07 22:38:00 One of the unmentioned good parts to a recession and market shake-out like we're going through right now is that there can be opportunities there, too.For example, the mortgage crisis will help purge the market of the mortgage brokers and mortgage bankers that have not been good at business, forcing the bad businesses to leave and slowing down the growth of the good businesses. Which means that when the market starts to pick up again, there will be people looking for houses, and trying to qualify for mortgages -- and not enough banks and brokers to go around.Which makes this a good time to get going via mortgage net branching. Mortgage net branching allows a loan originator or broker with experience to start up their own business and be their own boss -- backed by the experience and economic clout of a 1st Metropolitan mortgage as a partner.I've been reading 1st Met's site today (I happened on it in the course of looking up some actual work stuff) (you can find it at www.1stmet...

6.5.83: The concert in the clouds
2008-06-05 14:00:00 This song is not a rebel song… The greatest concert in rock history happened 25 years ago tonight in an amphitheater just west of Denver, Colorado. Everybody’s seen the footage, but most probably don’t realize that it was filmed in June. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JhsTpzaxBO0 Barry Fey, who promoted the show, did an incredible interview with NPR affiliate KCFR yesterday. (Even if you don’t like U2, you probably want to give this a listen.) As it turned out, the show almost didn’t happen. U2’s now-legendary Red Rocks show on June 5, 1983, had all the makings for a classic disaster.The weather bordered on sleet and rain all day ? hardly idyllic conditions for a video shoot that included countless cameras and three giant torches sitting atop the rocks.The promoters were in California until the afternoon of the show, and when they flew into a blustery Stapleton Airport, they called the mountain amphitheater’s backstage to see where the sho...

Hopscotch and Rain Clouds
2008-05-27 21:45:00 Monday afternoon we enjoyed a few hours of rain-free weather. We took advantage of the weather and spent a little time in the backyard. Yes? it was wet, but at least we were outdoors. Everything smelt nice and fresh too. I love the smell of the air after rain. Any way, we stayed on the patio. The kids were more then happy to play with chalk, blow bubbles and play in the water/sand table.I wanted to share this picture of my son. He created hopscotch blocks with chalk. He was cracking my husband and I up. I don?t know if this photo does my son justice. He was hopping with his one leg WAY up and WAY out. It was quite the silly sight. :o) My sweet little guy also created this portrait of himself with his sister and our dog. I love that they are holding hands in the picture.Today is overcast with rain in the forecast. At this point that is no surprise. Did you catch my sarcasm there? This weather is getting to me.

The pine-tree drops its dead; They are quiet, as under the sea. Overhead, overhead Rushes life in a race, As the clouds the clouds chase; &-nbsp; And we go, And we drop like the fruits of the tree, &-nbsp; Even we, &-nbsp; Even so.
