Cloud Computing: Everything you need to know


Cloud Computing is the idea of computing as a utility. It is a technology that uses the internet and central remote servers to maintain data and applications. Cloud computing allows consumers and businesses to use applications without installation and access their personal files at any computer with internet access.


Cloud computing removes the need to purchase physical servers by providing these services over the web. Just need to create an account on Amazon Web Services and set up a virtual server (EC2) and data storage (S3) all your system via the internet. Pricing is usage-based, meaning that you pay for exactly the amount of computing power and data storage you use.

Companies that provide cloud computing services (Amazon, Microsoft, Google) purchase server farms themselves and then make money by charging users for access via the internet for computing power and data storage on their servers. This is a significant innovation because it's exponentially cheaper and more efficient for anyone to run a web application.

Cloud Computing is actually an umbrella term for three service models:
IAAS – Infrastructure as a Service
Provision of servers or virtual servers that companies can use on a pay-as-you-go basis.  An example of this is Amazon s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). 

PAAS – Platform as a Service
Includes a set of lower level services such as an operating system or computer language interpreter offered by a cloud provider on which developers can build custom applications. A few examples include OpenShift (Redhat), Cloud Foundry (VM Ware), Google App Engine.

SAAS – Software as a Service
Software that you access simply by navigating there in a web browser.  Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, Google Docs are all examples of Saas.  People have been using Saas for a long time.

Why it matters?

In a nutshell, cloud computing is accessing business data on the fly anywhere with internet access, we already do that with our gmail or yahoo, just like that but with business app. Imagine the dynamic nature of this feature, only drawback "socially" is jobs, few large data center can manage a lot, and hardware consolidation will also be the key.

Difference in Jailbreaking, Rooting and Unlocking



In this post, I will be explaining the basic of all these terms. This post was a request from our fans. Compared with laptop or desktop computers, the tablet devices and smart phones available and greatly limited. Jail breaking and Rooting and Unlocking been provided to bypass this protection and do what the device manufacturer wants you to do.

1) Jail Breaking

It is to delete or cancel the limitations set out in the device by the device manufacturer. Often used to Apple devices Karafun or iPad, for example, it allows you to use the programs, the third party (Aiit) and any from outside the Apple store. You can also change some of the most settings, such as changing the default browser, but the most important thing allowed is the installation of third party software is certified by Apple.


Also your tablet devices Microsoft Surface Rt, where you can install non-Microsoft software programs where it is in the original system of Surface RT only allows you to installation of programs certified by Microsoft.

2) Rooting

Rooting is to get the user permissions manager for a device, often root used to Android devices, but used also for systems based on UNIX system such as Nokia's previous Symbian. Gives root (admin) several powers such as deleting some original applications of the system, run some applications that need root access and more.



Cons of rooting, is that if the user does not know to deal with the system error may wipe some important files which cause damage to the system permanently.

NOTE: After rooting the device does not remain guaranteed by the seller any warranty you tend Warranty.

3) Unlocking

Some phones, data cards and others especially backed by telecommunications companies come "unlocked" so it comes only supportive of this company cards. When you enter the sim card of another company, it does not support. The unlocking (Open) can play another card on this phone if you are traveling or decided to change the company contact.



Note: Unlike with the former two types, the unlocking system is not related to what is good for each of the devices.

If you need any further help in Jail breaking, Rooting or Unlocking. Feel free to comment below or contact me.

Transform your Windows Explorer into Chrome



Are you in love with Google Chrome? Then, you must try this.
Clover is just a tab management tool, but it is using the tab engine of the Google Chrome browser. Since Google Chrome is my favourite browser and it’s tab engine is  in my opinion – by far the smoothest, most stable tabs engine to date.

I found that I cannot do without it anymore and I recommend this little piece of software. I would like to thank ejie for creating such an amazing tool. Its shortcuts are same as Google Chrome.

Clover Features
Automatically transform your default Windows Explorer in Chrome tabbed style.
Drag and Drop files to another tab easily.
Create favorites location by drag and drop or Ctrl+D shortcut.
Put files in favourite bar just by drag and drop.
Show/Hide the favorite bar (We recommend to keep it visible).
Automatically check for updates (Which is the same as Chrome’s system).
  
Some Clover Screens



Soon Clover should support Themes and I hope the author will add the proxy configuration (for update system).
