Cloud is Not a Big Switch - (USA)
Why Carr’s analogy doesn’t describe today’s cloud environments and how SOA can get us closer to what he describes Back when cloud first starting drifting in to obscure the computing landscape there were a lot of parallels drawn between it and grid, and a lot of analogies used to explain the concept behind it. Cloud computing is most often analogized using Nicolas Carr’s analogy of the cloud as an electrical grid ; that’s always bothered me at almost a visceral level. But I could never art

My theory on the Apple Tablet: It doesn’t exist, will never exist, and it is probably a 10 inch lapt - (USA)
IntoMobile readers may be curious to know as to why I’m writing about a product that doesn’t fit inside your pocket. I’m doing this out of sheer frustration. Frustration by the media who think that there is a 10 inch tablet device coming out from Apple ( NSDQ: AAPL ), and are so sure of this fabricated fact that they can not be convinced otherwise. I’ve been issuing daily reminders to my Twitter followers for the past few weeks now, saying that there is no iTablet, and I’ve even made bets with t

Mind-Blowing Interfaces On Display At SIGGRAPH 2009 - (USA)
An anonymous reader writes “Tech Review has a roundup of some cool, experimental new interfaces being shown at SIGGRAPH 2009, underway in New Orleans this week. They include an amazing ‘touchable holograph’ display, developed by a team in Japan, which uses an ultrasound device to simulate the sense of touch as the user grasps objects shown in 3D. The other ideas on display are Augmented Reality for Ordinary Toys, Hyper-Realistic Virtual Reality, 3D Teleconferencing and Scratchable Input Devices.

Papervision augmented reality in Flash - (USA)
Papervision - Augmented Reality (extended) from dpinteractive on Vimeo. I tried it out and it was very impressed by the speed and accuracy of the motion tracking (he did flicker a bit and have problems when my lights were to bright, so be prepared to work a bit to make him happy). This is a Flash implementation of augmented reality created by Digital Pictures Interactive; all it takes is your web browser, a webcam, and a printed marker symbol. Now, would it kill the little guy to smile every

Will The Mac OS X Dial Go All the Way to Eleven? - (USA)
Apple's Mac OS X operating system is almost a decade old . After having gained access to the Mac OS X Public Beta for a cool $29.95 way back in 2001, and followed Apple through all the point builds in the ensuing eight years, from Cheetah (10.0) to Puma (10.1), Jaguar (10.2), Panther (10.3), Tiger (10.4) and now Leopard (10.5), with Snow Leopard (10.6) on the horizon, I've seen Apple meticulously add features, improve functionality, introduce new applications, and redraw the user interface mo

Is your son or daughter a computer hacker (READ)? - (USA)
Jul.31, 2009 in Uncategorized As an enlightened, modern parent, I try to be as involved as possible in the lives of my six children. I encourage them to join team sports. I attend their teen parties with them to ensure no drinking or alcohol is on the premises. I keep a fatherly eye on the CDs they listen to and the shows they watch, the company they keep and the books they read. You could say I’m a model parent. My children have never failed to make me proud, and I can say without the slightes

Of course, this began after I managed to cram all 42+ GB of sample data onto the test workstation. We won’t talk about how long that took. This new virtual instrument is technically the f

Today is the traditional first day of my personal "I Hate Turkey" season. I should be wearing an outfit of baggy sweatpants where I've snipped the elastic in the waist, one of my seasonal post-Thanksgiving t-shirts ("JUST SAY NO TO CRACK [POTATOES]!", "FUTURE BREATHARIAN," or "MY BABY IS A FOOD BABY" ), with a square of duct tape affixed firmly over my mouth. But no, I am at work today (which the sad few of us here have deemed the practice to be a hybrid of unsupervised day care and being sent

Augmented Reality – Bigger than the Web: Second Interview with Robert Rice from Neogence Enterprises - (USA)
I first started talking to Robert Rice , CEO of Neogence Enterprises , Chairman of the AR Consortium , in 2008. Robert was already actively working on creating the world’s first global augmented reality network. But it took a few months before what Robert had said to me about impending explosion of augmented reality into our lives really sunk in – “this is going to be much bigger than the Web !,” he extolled. By January, 2009 I was convinced and I posted my first interview with Robert

Augmented Reality: Metaphysical Far Future Repercussions - (USA)
As I anxiously await Brunner ’s Rick Gardinier to send over his next installment of his augmented reality musings , I find that my mind has been wandering into the realm of far future tech and science with the child-like excitement I had when I first read Kurzweil’s Age of Spiritual Machines. For some reason, perhaps my instinctive desire to hit the next button whenever an iPhone story shows up on my radar, the applications and all around cool-factor of augmented reality on the iPhone

This is usually because of a number of different problems that can occur with regular use of a computer. The smart computer user knows about these things and how to repair them on their own rather then having to hire a technician to solve the problem, (costing you time with out your computer and usually around 50 dollars an hour).

Mass extinction on Planet Finance - (USA)
(After the post bubble revulsion, asset holders are awakening from the the dream that the moneyness of credit is 100%. The current turmoil is nothing less than the market in search for the security of reliable money, that search will end when savers discover the one special attribute of "real money" is precisely what distinguishes it from the dross that passes for money today and is the very thing they seek. What the market seeks is a divisable asset with no counterparty risk that is impossible
