Is Cloud Computing Advantageous?
What is Cloud computing?
Oracle has taken a decision to sell software via pubic cloud. In other words, Oracle has entered the bandwagon of cloud computing, which has fascinated the modern technological world. What is cloud computing? Cloud computing represents a large conglomeration of various computer technologies put together. One can choose whatever technology one wants to run one’s computer from the Cloud. One need not buy any software, download and store it in one’s computer. Any software can be accessed from the Cloud at any time. The user only pays for his usage. There is no need to obtain license and purchase the whole software. This helps many business people. It saves them time, energy, money and storage space in their vast network of computers.
Hiring a car is advantageous to owning a car
The concept can be explained if you imagine that you want to travel to a place by car. There are two options you have. One is to own a car and travel in it. The other option is to hire a car and travel. The second option is easy to execute. Owning a car involves many hassles. First, you need to spend huge money in buying a car of your choice. You need to spend on maintenance of the car. You need to spend on fuel. You need to pay for insurance, road tax, driver’s salary and other expenses. If the car stops on the way in an isolated area, you need to call the mechanic (if it is night time, you will have to wait till next day morning), wait till he arrives and get the repair done. On the other hand, if you hire a car of your choice, you need not spend a huge sum in buying it. You need not spend on insurance, maintenance, driver’s salary etc. On the way if the car stops, you can simply get down, catch another vehicle and reach home safely without bothering about what happened to the car in which you travelled.
Cloud computing is advantageous to infrequent users
Therefore, it is easier to hire a car and travel instead of owning one. You also have another advantage in this method. You can choose any car of your choice and travel. But if you own a car, you will be confined to it for many years till you decide to change your car. However, for those who frequently travel, owning a car may be cheaper than hiring a car. It all depends on the category you belong to, how frequently you use the car etc. The same principle applies to computer software also. If you are a frequent user of any particular software or a set of softwares, it may be profitable to buy the software, download it into your computer and start using it. On the other hand, if you access different softwares at different points of time, Cloud computing may be advantageous to you. In other words, if you are an infrequent user of softwares, Cloud computing is for you.
How Cloud computing bills are prepared?
In Cloud computing, there are different systems for availing services. You can pay a fixed rent and avail the services of a particular company or software offered by them and use for any time you want. Or you can choose the metering system. In this method, your actual usage will be metered. The time for which you use the software is noted down exactly the same way as your internet usage time is recorded by the internet service provider for billing you. Different softwares have different rates for usage. It is like car hiring. If you hire an Ambassador car, the rate may be low. If you hire a Mercedes Benz, the rate may be very high. For availing internet broadband services, you have different schemes. One scheme offers you limited download capacity for small amount. Another scheme offers you unlimited broadband at much higher cost. Cloud computing billing is also similar to this.
Data storage facilitated
There are other advantages also in Cloud computing. You can store your data in the Cloud for a small additional fee safely. You need not bother about computer disruption or hard disc crash etc. Your data is safely stored in the Cloud and can be accessed at any time. Another advantage is that you can access the data or operate your system from anywhere in the world. Only internet access is required for it. Cloud computing has become a multibillion dollar business in the world. Those who offer the services are trying to woo new clients into their fold and offer discounts for it. Those who avail the services of Cloud computing also have an array of technology to choose from. Botheration of updating their software is also saved. For example, if you own Microsoft Office software which consists of MS Word, MS PowerPoint, MS Access and MS Excel as the basic components, you need to update your version whenever Microsoft comes out with newer versions. But if you are availing the services of MS Office through Cloud Computing, there is no need for you to update the software. It is the duty of the company offering Cloud services to update all their software at their expense.
Cloud computing is not a new concept
Actually speaking, Cloud computing is not an entirely new concept. In fact, Cloud computing has been in existence for many years without the official name it has today. When you open an email account with say Google, you get your email identity as
Hackers look for vital data in the Cloud
Companies are spending millions of dollars as marketing expenses for spreading their wings in the world of Cloud computing. For companies opting to enter into providing Cloud computing services, the task is not easy. They need to concentrate on both their software and hardware. Hardware should be a powerful machine capable of handling millions of data from different sources and storing them securely. If there is any security leakage, customers will fear and withdraw or will not renew their contracts. The company should protect the confidential data from the prongs of the hackers who are ever present in the Internet world to steal other people’s data. If the data is very sensitive, the damage will be all the more severe. Companies also need to rewrite their software programmes in order to tune them to Cloud computing. As long as you work within your office or home and operate some software, you get the results easily without any hitch. But once you are in the cyber world, the same software may not work efficiently or will provide holes in the security, which the merciless hackers will exploit. Hackers are interested in two types of data. First, the company’s confidential data, which they can sell to the competitors and make money, interests them. Secondly they are looking forward to things like credit card numbers, internet passwords, bank account details, email passwords etc.
Is cloud computing safe?
Is Cloud computing fully secure? We cannot assure it at this stage. Recently, services in Cloud computing were disrupted. There were even rumours of attack by the hackers. Therefore, nothing can be safe in this real world. It is for the companies and individuals to take sufficient precautions and protect them from the worst. If your data is too sensitive, do not store it in Cloud. Only a fool will store his credit card number in the Cloud. Therefore, the safety of operations entirely depends in your hands. It is like driving a car on the road. Your safety depends on the precautions you take while driving. Inspite of this, other people’s mistakes can cause an accident and even result in fatality. But that is God’s wish. On your part, you should observe precautions and play according to the rule. Then, you can minimise, not entirely eliminate, catastrophes.
Some of you may be familiar with Google labs and some may not. Anyway, Google labs used to be the play ground for the developers to create new web applications which are fun and useful. Anyway, Google decided to close it’s doors in July this year. Luckily, they are not closing some in-project labs such as Gmail labs. The features Gmail Labs offer are extremely useful and fun. I am discussing some lab projects I’ve been using and which I found helpful.
Activating Gmail labs
First go to the website www.googlelabs.com , then on the right side under the title ‘Other experiments at Google’, click on Gmail labs link. Sign in to your Gmail account (if you haven’t already) you’ll see a list of lab projects available with a short description about each one, ‘Enable’ the features you want to use and don’t forget to click ‘Save Changes’ button located at the bottom of the page. Come back and ‘Disable’ any feature if you didn’t liked it.
Inbox Preview : This isn't much. It just gives a preview of your inbox as it is loading your Gmail account. It may be good for people with low internet speed connections. Though you can click or view an email, you can at least know whether there are any new mails. Anyway, even for people with low internet connection Gmail have a ‘Basic html version’. I use it because it quickly kills our curiosity to find out who have sent us mails lately :)
Undo Send : This is a great option. Though you may not need it most of the times it is a good thing to be ‘Enabled’, just in case. With this option enable you can cancel a mail from being sent while it’s in ‘Sending’ status and even you’ve got the power to ‘Undo’ an email sent within in a few seconds after you’ve send it. As I said you may not need this for most of the time, but if you make a mistake in future you wouldn’t have to regret if you have this thing turned ON.
Authentication icon for verified senders : Currently they have this only with PayPal and eBay. But still, it is a good thing to be enabled since there are so many phishers out there and it would be good if you take an extra precaution. Anyway, don’t trust to this icon alone before you click some important links from those emails!
Background send : This will be extremely useful for users with slow connections. This option let you do other tasks while a mail is sending in the background so that you don’t have sit and stare at the computer until the mails are sent. This is useful especially when you’re accessing web from a PC by connecting you phone with GPRS.
Mail Goggles : This is a pretty cool and interesting app. It’s sort of a CAPTCHA thing. Extremely useful for people who works late nights (or who works after getting drunk or something). Before sending your email you would have to solve some simple math problems so that the computer can know that you’re good to go! With this and ‘undo’ option enabled you won’t have to regret sending false emails in future!
Mark as Read Button : Sometimes, the email subject says it all! With this feature enabled you can just mark any mail ‘Read’ so you don’t have to open them and come back. This is a useful thing, especially if you’ve got lots and lots of unread emails in your account.
Multiple Inboxes : With this feature enabled, you’ll have multiple inboxes. You can your own inbox of ‘starred’ items or any other search term. Didn’t do much for me, you can try it out though!
Right-side chat : Wanna change the layout? Get your chat box to right side. Doesn’t do much, yet who wouldn’t like a change?
NOTE: Google call these features as ‘Crazy Experimental stuff’, so whenever you get some troubles with these lab features, i.e. If a lab feature breaks and you have trouble loading your inbox go to https://mail.google.com/mail/?labs=0 .
Lab is a great collection of useful products. There are lab features available for YouTube and other Google products as well. You might wanna checkout some YouTube lab projects like html5, feather etc. They’re really awesome an I bet you’ll love them.

The market is abuzz with rumors about the iphone 5 and it is expected to release before the end of the year. So, if the iphone 5 is really announced, will you be considering purchasing the iPhone 5. No doubt, there will be many takers for the iPhone, afterall apple has a huge fan following and Apple fans are known to be loyal. But what about those who already have an iPhone 4. Will the iphone 5 have enough new features to persuade iPhone 4 users switch to iPhone 5?
If the rumors are to be believed, then iPhone 5 will most certainly be the best smartphone ever. It will run on iOS5 which has 200plus features over iPhone 4 system. Also, new camera with higher megapixel would be introduced and it will be available in black and white models. There are loads of other features and it is exciting. If the real iPHone 5 does come with these rumored iphone 5 specifications, then it will certainly proper on top of the smartphone market.
But lets also look at the other side. The way Apple Inc. has been acting, I doubt that there will be a major overhaul. Firstly, Apple has always introduced the next iphone within 12 months like clockwork, but this is not the case this time. Also, huge stock of iPhone 4 still exists in the market and introducing iPHone 5 now will hamper the sale of iPhone 4, which will be a huge loss for Apple. Also, Steve Jobs has recently resigned as the CEO of Apple and this may delay the launch of iPHone 5.
The mentioned above reasons are some of the factors that will influence the buying decision of the consumer. But it will be wise not to sell your iPhone 5 before it is officially announced. You can sell your iPhone anytime afterwards. If you don't like the iPhone 5, you can just upgrade your iphone 4 with the latest ios5 when it is avaialble. If you wan to know what are the expected features, then read this iPhone 5 review.
$200 million deal
A decade back, mobile phones played no big role in shaping up industry, business, trade and entrepreneurship. But today, with the advent of numerous smartphones, mobile phones have surpassed the mediocre reputation that they developed through the old, bulky, prepaid phone of the past.. They have started replacing computers in so many ways. Japanese Internet major Softbank Corporation has invested $200 million in Mobile Ad firm InMobi operating from Bangalore. It is considered as one of the largest deals in mobile internet space. Out of the total amount, $100 million will come in this month and the remaining $100 million will come in April 2012. This shows that Indian computer engineers can build a technology product acceptable at the global level. Japanese are usually very conservative in their investment unlike the Americans. If the Japanese are investing, it means the Indian company has real stuff and quality. IDG Ventures, a PE firm has estimated that $7.5 billion funds will flow into this sector by the year 2015. Large international deals have already started taking place in India. The British company Pearson acquired the Indian company TutorVista for Rs.577 crore. E-Commerce Company Filipkart raised $20 million from Tiger Global, a PE firm from New York. Snapdeal raised $40 million from investors. InMobi itself has raised $16 million before this deal from Kleiner Parkins Caufield & Byers and Sherpalo. InMobi was founded in 2007. What will the company do with this huge money of $200 million? It will use this for global acquisitions and for talent hunting. The company wants to become number one mobile internet company in the world. Good ambition and best wishes to the company. Already it has purchased the US firm Sprout.
Free stuff
Mobile roaming charges may be abolished by the government. This is good news for the frequent travellers. But it will hit the revenues of the telecom companies. Roaming charges make around 10% of the telecom company’s revenue. This loss will be offset by a rise in the mobile tariff. Number portability may be allowed anywhere in India. Currently it is restricted to within the circle in which the user resides. For the last fifteen years, phone tariffs have always fallen. But for the first time, the telecom players are going to raise their tariff in order to be competitive. For the consumers, there are several free applications that will help make free calls. Some of these free applications are Skype, Fring, Mobyler, Tango, Viber, Voxigo, Qik, TruPhone and Yahoo Messenger. For Blackberry users, one can try TringMe, which allows free calls over WiFi and 3G. You can also test Mo-Call that allows Internet telephony without internet connection. For basic phones, you can try Nimbuzz and Talkonaut. If you are using a PC, you can make a call through Webcall Direct, Evaphone, Freebuzzer and TulTalk. Usually, one minute of voice call through internet will consume around 160 kb of data. The average cost for the voice calls is set to rise from 55 paise per minute to around 80 paise per minute.
Mobile phones for brand building
Mobile phones are being used to build brands. Companies are still trying to figure out what kind of content people like to interact with the mobile phone. One proven category is social networking that has already attracted millions and millions of people. A lot of inventory is sold through media buying agencies. Most of the direct buys are by companies in the mobile content space. A cigarette company distributed a mobile phone app free of cost covering a popular badminton tournament in Indonesia. It attracted sizeable downloads and resulted in brand building for the cigarette company. Thailand government distributed a tourist app which became quite popular among the tourists and resulted in brand building.
Google will have a hardware platform
But in India, digital advertising is very small at around one per cent of total advertising. Mobile advertising is a part of this small quantity. It has great scope for development as people are buying smartphones in increasing numbers. Many applications are being developed for these mobile phones. The most popular applications are on Android platform. 70% of these applications are downloadable free of cost and the remaining applications cost a small amount. On the other hand, Apple applications from AppStore cost quite a lot. For this reason, Android phones are increasingly becoming popular, Now that Google has taken over Motorola’s mobile division, it will have a hardware platform also to run its popular Android software.
Mobile phone corrects answer papers
I am running a coaching centre that gives training to students to prepare for professional competitive examinations like IIT JEE, AIEEE, BITSAT, VIT, SRM, SAT etc. I have developed an application written in Android. The students have to send their answers to the multiple choice questions in a test through SMS along with the code number for that particular test. My mobile phone will process the answers and send back to the students through a return SMS their marks, percentage of marks secured and the correct answers in three seconds. It is unbelievable. The students get their results back within 3 seconds after they press the ‘send’ button. In fact, I have distributed mobile phones to all my students free of cost. When universities, colleges and schools are banning mobile phones inside their campuses, I have not only given mobile phones to my students free of cost, but also make them to answer the tests through these mobile phones. My correction time is minimised. What a wonderful gift it is.
Intel plans integration from mobiles to PCs
Now App developers look beyond the mobile phones. They develop apps that can be used in all platforms. For example Intel is looking at a seamless integration of information from mobiles to PCs. They are urging their 15000 developers in India to think of delivering content from 4 inch mobiles to 40 inch TVs and everything in between. These developers have already developed 1600 apps. Traditionally, IT services companies grow with manpower. But mobile app companies grow with more products. But most of the mobile app developers do not gain any financial advantage. Their hard work does not bring any monetary rewards as most of the mobile apps are free to download. This has prevented more people from entering the arena. Only those who have passion for app development by displaying their programme skills enter into the field without expecting any monetary reward.
SMS Invite helps students
I have downloaded from Android market a free app called SMS Invite. It is an application for inviting people to a party. But I am using it to inform and invite my students for the classes conducted at different timings. The message is sent to the students’ parents also to inform them about the class as some students lie to their parents that there are no classes. A student or his parents can reply Yes or No to the invitation. If they reply ‘Yes’, then the app will remind them fifteen minutes before the commencement of the class. It is a nice application and I have been using it for nearly two years.
WiFi facility will make mobile internet economical
Remote villages have not got mobile services yet. Growth in rural telecom density has not kept pace. There are more than 7500 uncovered villages in Orissa. Only half of the targeted mobile towers have been installed. Today, even fishermen are using mobile phones. This saves their lives also. Any untoward incident in the deep sea can be conveyed to their friends in the coast in no time. Now SMS can be sent and received in local languages also. Hyderabad-based mobile company IMI Mobile has made it possible. Only two per cent of Indian population are versatile in English. Other people are more comfortable in using their local languages to access and send SMS. Smartphone users spend nearly 70% of their time in internet than in voice calls. Venture capital funds are increasingly showing interest in mobile apps space. They prefer to invest their funds in a company that creates apps in multiple platforms. Browser firms and mobile handset makers are increasingly showing interest in mobile internet. Those users who spend a lot of time in mobile internet do it through WiFi rather than buying internet packages from their telecom services companies like Airtel, Aircel etc. WiFi facility can be accessed free of cost from the broadband modem, if the modem has WiFi facilities. A WiFi modem costs less than Rs.1500. One can browse internet to one’s heart’s content in the mobile phone without bothering about financial charges.
BSNL tops the honour
GSM phone service providers added only 7.6 million new customers for the month of July. This marks the lowest customer addition in the last 32 months. Even recently, around 15 million customers were added every month. Out of the total additions in July, BSNL tops the list with addition of 1.7 million customers. Bharti Airtel came second with 1.5 million customers, Vodafone with 1.4 million, Idea and Uninor with one million each. In the last two years, this was the first time that BSNL became the topper among telecom service providers, overtaking Bharti Airtel.
Demand for mobile programmers widening
Indian software engineers have made a mark worldwide with their programming skills. Now India’s next outsourcing market will be mobile applications. Growing demand and lower developer cost are fuelling the second round of technology off shoring. Indian developers have an edge in pricing. Request for programmers who write code for Apple’s iOS platform increased by 20% in the second quarter. For Android programmers, it increased by 15%. For Blackberry devices, it increased by 3%. It is interesting to note that Indian IT giants like Infosys, Wipro, TCS and other companies have not taken up mobile apps yet. It is still left to the small players. Of course Infosys, TCS and other companies were once upon a time small companies. Today’s small companies can grow big and dominate the world if they concentrate on quality and customer service.
GSM has many advantages over CDMA
Which one is better to have, a CDMA mobile or a GSM mobile? This question is troubling the minds of mobile users. There are many advantages in a GSM connection. There are wide varieties of service providers to choose from in comparison to CDMA. There are many options in terms of mobile handsets to choose from in case of GSM mobile. There are many features in GSM handsets compared to CDMA handsets (exception is iPhone4). GSM phones can operate with a SIM card from any country in the world. The only advantage for CDMA is that it offers better connectivity in thickly populated areas. This is because in any given place, the number of CDMA devices is less compared to GSM devices and hence traffic is less.
Hackers are turning more on mobiles
Hackers are turning their attention to mobile internet. As Android based smartphones are increasing in number and they have open-source software, hackers are wrecking havoc in Android phones much more than other phones. Google has removed about 100 malicious applications from its Android Market app store. Lookout has detected thousands of attempted infections each day on mobile phones running its software. Symantec also sees a jump in the number of malwares attacking mobile phones. As mobile financing is increasingly becoming popular, these hackers try to grab passwords and credit card numbers from the mobile phones. Many banks are offering mobile banking facility to their customers. Telecom and banks need to in place the necessary infrastructure and business models to be able to roll out the services effectively and profitably across the country.
Asia could lead mobile revolution
In future, HTML5 could share platform space in the mobile apps market. HTML5 is useful in the web/cloud intensive mobile application space. In the computation intensive context, other applications could be used. According to Google Chief Mr.Eric Schmidt, Asia will lead the mobile revolution. Getting train tickets on mobile phones is only the beginning of this revolution. Mobile banking could become more popular than actual banking.
Protect children from health hazards
As for the health hazards, a latest research finds no evidence to link mobile phones to growth of brain tumours. Nevertheless, young children should be discouraged from using mobile phones often. Cells of children rapidly divide and hence are more susceptible to any radiation. The brain area exposed to radiation is also large. Even though clear evidence is not forthcoming, it is always better to err on the side of caution to protect vulnerable children from radiation hazards. Expert panel has suggested stricter radiation norms for mobile phones. 3G handsets are getting cheaper now. Prices have dipped by 20% in the last one year. Falling raw material costs coupled with new and more efficient technology will produce increasing number of 3G handsets in the market and further pull down their prices.
Mobile TV in the offing
Mobile phone technology is going to solve long check-in queues, lost luggage and lack of communication in airports. Indian mobile phone producers like Micromax, Lava, Karbonn, Spice, Maxx, Olive and Zen are starting their operations in Africa. A new scramble for African riches is taking place among Indian companies. Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Congo are some of the favourite destinations of Indian mobile companies. Along with mobile phone technology, high resolution cameras are also effective in driving their sales. Mobile phone penetration can drive the GDP growth rate in India. National Stock Exchange is exploring the use of mobiles for trading. The government of India is keen to clear the decks for broadcast of TV channels on the mobile screen but still there are hurdles to be crossed. The Telecom ministry is opposing the government’s plan to use 700 MHz band.
Mobile technology helps criminal investigations
For solving criminal cases, mobile phones are quite useful. The first thing investigators do when a crime is committed is to trace out the mobile calls of the suspects. That is why location-based mobile services are being made mandatory. Handsets sales in India are likely to touch 220 million in 2011. ASSOCHAM has demanded that government websites should run in mobile phones too.
Motorola will be reshaped at the hands of Google
Double benefit for Google
Google’s taking over of Motorola’s mobile handset business has been the talking point, of late. This move will help Google to acquire many patent rights in the market. Google has been troubled by many court cases filed by its competitor Apple over patents. Google was careless about patents earlier. Now, after suffering much, it has made a master move by acquiring Motorola’s mobile handset business. This will also give Google a platform to sell its own mobiles with its own Android software. It will power Google to one of the strong players in mobile phones market in the coming years. It will also drive away its competitors like Samsung, LG, and Hutch etc to seek replacement software for Android elsewhere.

Motorola loses to Huawei in court case
Motorola will provide 400 jobs to Chicago. At a time when 14 million Americans are jobless, this tiny measure is still appreciated by the Chicago Mayor
Rahm Emanuel. Huawei Technologies of China won a Federal Court order, barring Motorola Solutions Inc from disclosing a variety of confidential Huawei information to its rival Nokia Siemens Networks. But the judge denied Huawei’s request to block the $1.2 billion sale of Motorola’s network business to Nokia Siemens. But now there are reports that Motorola has amicably settled its dispute with Huawei.

Users can stream and share content with other compatible devices.
What next?
I have given a brief history of Motorola handsets released in the last few months. Now that Motorola has handed over its business to Google, the world is waiting for the release of the first ever mobile handset by Google. The world is eager to know the new technological features that Google will bring in for the users.
