Rollerphone

With new gadgets today focusing on aesthetic as much as technology, designers and companies have been competing with each other to produce the most “futuristic” product. Designer Alexey Chugunnikov has created the idea for the “Rollerphone.”

The Rollerphone sports a fashionable design that snaps around your wrists and projects the time on a see through LED screen to function as both a bracelet and a watch when not in use.

Unfortunately, the Rollerphone is a perfect example of beauty before functionality as it comes nowhere close to its current competition in terms of computing power and usefulness.

The Rollerphone seems convenient because it can sit on the wrist of the individual, eliminating the need to pull it in and out of your pocket or bag. The downside to this is that because it is on your wrist all actions must be performed by using the other hand. This means that texting, dialing numbers and other functions (which have become a main priority of most phones today) are significantly slower.

The phone has a very large media library allowing the user to watch movies and listen to music without a huge drain on the battery. Unfortunately the phone has no headphone jack so unless you play the music directly on the phone’s speaker, this feature becomes useless.

Finally, the phone isn’t waterproof at all and cannot be cleaned easily so most tasks which involve using your hands cannot be performed while wearing the phone and it is always at risk when handling liquids.

Although the phone is beautiful to look at, the functionality of it is far from good and it would be wiser to simply wear a watch and carry a smart phone instead.

Will corruption end in India?

Most of the powerful persons are corrupt and without this quality anyone cannot imagine to become Minister or head of any department. All officers who are on top and vital posts have to learn corrupt practices to survive in the system.

Birds of same feather flock together. Culture of corrupt practice is prevalent in all the departments of the government. Then who will bell the cat?Who will take steps to stop corrupt practice on the ground level?

It is not that system is bad but it is the system which Indians have accepted.

This is why, persons involved in scam of thousands of crores of rupees is least bothered. Politicians after exposure of all scam or scandal make very much hue and cry in a dramatic way and then go for hibernation. Before ending the story they constitute a committee to look into the matter. Such committees are also formed in such a way and manned by such a person that even in two or three decades they cannot decide. They are not provided adequate manpower or infrastructure as happens with judges in courts or officials in Vigilance department or in CBI. In this way Pandora’s Box is closed for ever and lost in dark rooms of the offices. As of now even opposition political parties are very weak and hence congress Party is fearless of any reaction and revolt.

If media men are bold, active and honest they can play a great role in exposure and punishment of corrupt officials and MLAs and MPs. As of now the fact is entirely different. Even media men are dishonest and act as blackmailers and negotiator with criminals. They also act as per money they get from corrupt politicians and officers. This is why most of the news on TV or in print media are related to road accidents, rape, murder etc where some money can be earned by media men if they twist the news as per will of the person who committed such crime.

However this is also true that media men who are honest do not get desired support and safety from police and judiciary. In fact honesty has more often than not become the victim in the hands of dishonesty.

In my opinion politicians and bureaucrats must be tried under the prevention of corruption Act. If persons sitting on top posts are honest they will never allow subordinates to indulge in corruption. If minister or MP of any area is honest, talented, bold, active, disciplined, clever and fearless, there is no power on earth which can stop him stopping his subordinates taking bribe or commission on any work done by them.

On the other hand if a subordinate or junior is honest, loyal and hard worker he or she cannot compel his boss or MP or Minister to be honest without inviting repercussion, torture , frustration, depression, disturbance in peace and even death in some case either for self or his or her family members.

Even judiciary works are affected and manipulated by person who has money or power directly or indirectly. Even police department acts as puppets in the hands of big shots. Then who will save honest persons. Bitter Truth is that position of honest person is always pitiable and miserable.

I therefore feel that , not only apartments handed over to politicians which were allotted originally to Kargil family members be taken back by the government but all those officers and ministers who contributed directly or indirectly in happening of such ugly work must be punished in 30 days . And then only a message will go among corrupt officials that evil doers are punished. This should happen with all evil doers so that even hard core criminal will give a rethought before opting for an act of crime.

Until there is a fear of punishment and humiliation in the minds of evil doers, Indian cannot imagine of getting rid of corruption.

Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is all the rage. "It's become the phrase du jour," says Gartner senior analyst Ben Pring, echoing many of his peers. The problem is that (as with Web 2.0) everyone seems to have a different definition.

As a metaphor for the Internet, "the cloud" is a familiar cliché, but when combined with "computing," the meaning gets bigger and fuzzier. Some analysts and vendors define cloud computing narrowly as an updated version of utility computing: basically virtual servers available over the Internet. Others go very broad, arguing anything you consume outside the firewall is "in the cloud," including conventional outsourcing.

Cloud computing comes into focus only when you think about what IT always needs: a way to increase capacity or add capabilities on the fly without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software. Cloud computing encompasses any subscription-based or pay-per-use service that, in real time over the Internet, extends IT's existing capabilities.

    

Cloud computing is at an early stage, with a motley crew of providers large and small delivering a slew of cloud-based services, from full-blown applications to storage services to spam filtering. Yes, utility-style infrastructure providers are part of the mix, but so are SaaS (software as a service) providers such as Salesforce.com. Today, for the most part, IT must plug into cloud-based services individually, but cloud computing aggregators and integrators are already emerging.

After talked to dozens of vendors, analysts, and IT customers to tease out the various components of cloud computing. Based on those discussions, here's a rough breakdown of what cloud computing is all about:

1. SaaS:

          This type of cloud computing delivers a single application through the browser to thousands of customers using a multitenant architecture. On the customer side, it means no upfront investment in servers or software licensing; on the provider side, with just one app to maintain, costs are low compared to conventional hosting. Salesforce.com is by far the best-known example among enterprise applications, but SaaS is also common for HR apps and has even worked its way up the food chain to ERP, with players such as Workday. And who could have predicted the sudden rise of SaaS "desktop" applications, such as Google Apps and Zoho Office?

2. Utility computing:

          The idea is not new, but this form of cloud computing is getting new life from Amazon.com, Sun, IBM, and others who now offer storage and virtual servers that IT can access on demand. Early enterprise adopters mainly use utility computing for supplemental, non-mission-critical needs, but one day, they may replace parts of the datacenter. Other providers offer solutions that help IT create virtual datacenters from commodity servers, such as 3Tera's AppLogic and Cohesive Flexible Technologies' Elastic Server on Demand. Liquid Computing's LiquidQ offers similar capabilities, enabling IT to stitch together memory, I/O, storage, and computational capacity as a virtualized resource pool available over the network.

3. Web services in the cloud:            Closely related to SaaS, Web service providers offer APIs that enable developers to exploit functionality over the Internet, rather than delivering full-blown applications. They range from providers offering discrete business services -- such as Strike Iron and Xignite -- to the full range of APIs offered by Google Maps, ADP payroll processing, the U.S. Postal Service, Bloomberg, and even conventional credit card processing services.

4. Platform as a service:            Another SaaS variation, this form of cloud computing delivers development environments as a service. You build your own applications that run on the provider's infrastructure and are delivered to your users via the Internet from the provider's servers. Like Legos, these services are constrained by the vendor's design and capabilities, so you don't get complete freedom, but you do get predictability and pre-integration. Prime examples include Salesforce.com's Force.com,Coghead and the new Google App Engine. For extremely lightweight development, cloud-basedmashup platforms abound, such as Yahoo Pipes or Dapper.net.

5. MSP (managed service providers):            One of the oldest forms of cloud computing, a managed service is basically an application exposed to IT rather than to end-users, such as a virus scanning service for e-mail or an application monitoring service (which Mercury, among others, provides). Managed security services delivered by SecureWorks, IBM, and Verizon fall into this category, as do such cloud-based anti-spam services as Postini, recently acquired by Google. Other offerings include desktop management services, such as those offered by CenterBeam or Everdream.

6. Service commerce platforms:

            A hybrid of SaaS and MSP, this cloud computing service offers a service hub that users interact with. They're most common in trading environments, such as expense management systems that allow users to order travel or secretarial services from a common platform that then coordinates the service delivery and pricing within the specifications set by the user. Think of it as an automated service bureau. Well-known examples include Rearden Commerce and Ariba.

7. Internet integration:            The integration of cloud-based services is in its early days. OpSource, which mainly concerns itself with serving SaaS providers, recently introduced the OpSource Services Bus, which employs in-the-cloud integration technology from a little startup called Boomi. SaaS provider Workday recently acquired another player in this space, CapeClear, an ESB (enterprise service bus) provider that was edging toward b-to-b integration. Way ahead of its time, Grand Central -- which wanted to be a universal "bus in the cloud" to connect SaaS providers and provide integrated solutions to customers -- flamed out in 2005.

Today, with such cloud-based interconnection seldom in evidence, cloud computing might be more accurately described as "sky computing," with many isolated clouds of services which IT customers must plug into individually. On the other hand, as virtualization and SOA permeate the enterprise, the idea of loosely coupled services running on an agile, scalable infrastructure should eventually make every enterprise a node in the cloud. It's a long-running trend with a far-out horizon. But among big metatrends, cloud computing is the hardest one to argue with in the long term.
