Cloud computing: Get on the ground floor
2009-08-28 13:00:00 "The term 'cloud computing' is nothing particularly new or complicated; it simply means that instead of having software on your home, office or notebook computer, you run applications over the Internet," explains Gregg Early.In Personal Finance he looks at three plays on this trend: Amazon.com (NA-SDAQ: AMZN); Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM); and Rackspace Hosting- (NYSE: RAX)."It’s the way of the future as computing becomes increasingly mobile. I would point out that I’m writing this article on Google Docs. This document is stored on a Google server farm, not on my office computer. "When I want to access this document -- from my house, office, laptop or mobile phone -- I simply go to my Google account and it shows up. This kind of computing has gone from quixotic concept to ubiquitous reality."From a business standpoint cloud computing is compelling because it means a business doesn’t have to buy softwar...
Cloud Computing
2009-08-25 08:55:00 General term for anything that involves delivering hosted services over the Internet is called cloud computing. Recently this term is often used because the trend of web service providers now is providing services with Infrastructure as a service. These services are broadly divided into three categories: Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). These interconnections ...

Is Cloud Computing Detrimental For IT Professional Jobs?
2009-07-24 12:02:00 (Critical editing by Abhishek Kapoor) Nowadays you must have heard about the cloud computing technology that many IT companies have adopted. WATBlog has reported regularly about the whereabouts of Cloud Computing. No doubt its an innovative concept but somewhere it is threatening IT jobs. IDC has predicted that by 2012, investment on cloud service will increase to $42 billion. Analyst firm indicated that as time will pass cloud computing will become more and more prevalent it will replace the jobs performed by IT professionals. There’s nothing to worry, this won’t happen at least for the next few months. As of now SaaS is in and cloud computing is the next level but not its replacement. It is more likely to take five years for any company to switch over. Initially, cloud computing will create new jobs for monitoring infrastructure performance, datacenter operations, shifting to cloud service provider like Google, Amazon etc. According to Mark McDonald, Vice President of...

Why Browser Is The Future Of Computing?
2009-07-20 08:12:00 Apple made the news recently by hitting 1.5 billion downloads at it’s app store. Quick to catch on, Google at the recent MobileBeat 2009 Conference said that App stores weren’t really the future. Sour grapes? Not quite. Google has long since focused on the importance of the web. From promoting Android to its latest venture, Chrome OS, Google seems to quite believe in what it preaches. Let’s look at the way things have changed when it comes to working on the Internet, from actually being content-receivers to users being content-generators, the way people work on the Internet is changing. More so, with changing technology, from Wireless to 3G, access to the internet is no longer restricted to a phone line. No wonder that people estimate almost all of the Internet will soon be access via mobile. We recently wrote about Cloud Computing. Not needing a huge hard-drive, or inbuilt software seems to go with the concept of Mobile Internet. Mobiles don’t really have t...

IT Companies To Go Cloudy - Or Is It All Just The Computing Rage?
2009-07-16 09:16:00 Companies looking to reduce their IT costs and complexities are tapping into cloud computing. Ask any five IT specialists what cloud computing is, and you’re likely to get five different answers. So it is pretty evident that Cloud Computing Services means different to everyone. Patni Computers are one of them who are planning to set up labs in India and the US to place its applications and data on the internet. According to Patni’s CEO Jeya Kumar cloud computing will change the way people ‘use, apply and adopt technology’. Patni calls it the ‘Incubation of Technology’. They promise to offer consulting, architecture, development and deployment services to enable customers to exploit Cloud Computing and derive business advantages. Wipro is also building what it calls the “enterprise cloud” Its nothing but a capability it plans to offer to clients who plan to outsource their hosting or infrastructure management activities with the company.

Cloud Computing, SaaS and Such--Have We Read This Story Before?
2009-05-05 02:30:00 I have this incredible feeling of dj vu.Cloud computing and Software as a Service is all the rage. In my practice at PJM Consulting, I am very involved in software startup activity. Nearly every new software company that I see today is being built on the Software as a Service business model. It's all the rage--so much so that it appears that any self-respecting software entrepreneur would be embarrassed to start a company using the traditional software licensing model. Even if an entrepreneur was so inclined, good luck finding a VC who would even consider funding such a company. No one wants to look like a dinosaur.It's all well and good--there is definitely a real trend toward SaaS and Cloud Computing, with many good reasons for it. But most high technology trends are initially a bit over-hyped, and tend to get ahead of themselves. In addition, this particular story seems ever so familiar to a tech veteran that's been around for a few of these cycles.The first bit of history t...

IBM cognitive computing project: so far so good...
2008-11-24 11:40:00 I don't know much about this widely-publicized project to build a electronic brain in a brain-sized package as I've just found out about it and I haven't yet managed to get my hands on any real technical information. However, reading the IBM press release I found out something very positive that has been omitted from most of the coverage so far. One of the researchers collaborating with IBM is Kwabena Boahen, head of Stanford's Brains in Silicon Lab, a former student of Caltech's Carver Mead, and a key researcher in the neuromorphic engineering community. Exactly what this means in terms of the approach that the researchers are taking is hard to say, but I'll do my best to find out.

Future of Computing
2008-08-09 06:17:00 Beyond desktop and mainframe computing, advent of shared applications is another way to meet some or almost all aspects of information technology (IT) needs. Concept of application service provision has come a long way since it first came on the scene in the late 1990s? Originally, the idea of virtual cooperation and application sharing came from Bill Davidow, a venture capitalist and entrepreneur. What Bill foresaw as the future of computing is already in practice; a new IT business model.Hi-tech developments and changes at a fast rate are moving towards convergence of the software, information, technology carriers, and computer engineering. Result: IT structural designs are shifting from desktop and mainframe environments towards Internet based structures. Similarly, software applications are altering from made to order and separately owned solutions towards pre-packaged and Web based solutions. It is in this context that ASP business model is getting more interest as a hot trend....

Lower Car Insurance Price - 5 Considerations To Computing Your Car Insuranc
2008-06-06 05:17:00 Have you ever wonder why car insurance costs vary from one car insurance company to the other? This is due to the different type of computation factors that car insurance companies use to derive the car insurance cost. Based on the answers that you replied to the car insurance company, they will add or discount the cost before arriving at a final price for your car insurance. Thus, it is important for you to shop around first before you commit yourself to a particular car insurance company as different companies take a different view of the various high risk factors. We will look at some of the factors that car insurance companies take into considerations. 1. Having a clean driving record.Without a doubt, car insurance cost would increase if you have been convicted of a driving conviction. Thus, it pays to be a safe driver so that unnecessary costs won't be incurred. 2. Adding additional drivers to the policyBy adding additional drivers to the policy, extra premiums will be added. ...
Grid computing projects
2008-06-04 12:11:00 You've heard of SETI@HOME I'm sure. In one sense it has been a resounding success, on the other it has been a abject failure. It has been the most successful grid computing effort on record so far and yet it has essentially stuck a fork in the chance of there being technologically advanced aliens. People are now forced to hypothesize that a more advanced civilization will no longer use radio to communicate. This seems somewhat far fetched to me because of the simplicity of using radio waves for said communication. Current Grid Computing Projects Anyways, here is a list [Grid Computing Projects] of other grid computing efforts you can participate in. Currently this one might provide the most value: Malaria Control Project. Which illustrates the problem of what do you do with all the data that you generate?

Amazon’s Jeff Bezos on cloud computing

Done at the D6 conference, Om Malik Questioned Mr Bezos on how Amazon web services got stated and where it’s going. Om also brought Wall Street’s complete ignorance of the significance of the cloud computing wave into focus. How and when Amazon began its cloud computing effort. Why Amazon has become an innovator with Amazon Web Services and how it relates to their core business of being an online retailer. Whether or not Wall Street recognizes Amazons cloud efforts. Whats next for Amazon Web Services. Whether or not Amazon has plans for a VC fund or for cloud computing startups. (GigaOm)

OLED the future of computing with Optimus Maximus keyboards?
2008-05-28 17:37:00 Optimus Maximus keyboard, will major computer manufacturers actually follow the example? One problem is the OLED tech used in the keyboard is a very expensive alternative to say a standard keyboard. However they are probably quite a few people out there with wads of cash in their pocket who would be will to fork over $1000 to grab hold of a keyboard like the Optimus Maximus. The advantage with the Optimus Maximus keyboard is every key image is fully customised separately for any of the applications. The need to display secondary symbols such as !ӣ$% on the keys is no longer necessary as they appear automatically when the shift key is depressed. Keys that are never used can be removed, and language layout can be switched easily. There are loads of attractive but not too realistic technologies in the near future and OLED is definitely one to key your eye on. The differences between OLED and regular LCD displays are totally amazing, for instance did you know OLED screens can be as ...
