Are e-books killing print books? Do traditional publishers really know how to take advantage of the web? All these and more are explored here.
Heike, Viruses and the Cloud
Over the last several years, China has become famous for it’s vast clubs and gangs of independent hackers- or, in Chinese, heike- “black guests”. In 2004, American computer security expert estimated, through an extensive analysis of websites hosting Chinese hacker clubs, that China had about 380,000 hackers in various organizations. This was at a time when China’s general population of internet users had just topped 100 million- and a poll issued that same year said that nearly 1 in 3 Chinese elementary school students aspired to be hackers themselves.
How to not get "Hacked!"
James Fallows is famous among both technology journalists and China journalists (his Postcards from Tomorrow Square, written about his time in Shanghai and Beijing, is highly recommended), and rightly so. He built his reputation in the tech world, after an already illustrious career as a beltway journalist, by being willing to “get his hands dirty”, learning to code and develop software at Microsoft to get deeper into his stories. He’s no technical slouch, so it’s no surprise that his piece for the November 2011 issue of The Atlantic, “Hacked!”, was a thoughtful, well-balanced exploration of the advantages and dangers of cloud computing.
Qihoo 360 Heads to the Cloud
Who’s jumping on China’s cloud computing bandwagon next? It looks like Qihoo 360, one of China’s top search solution providers, is going to be the next to make the leap. What’s on offer from the company? A full suite of mobile browsers supporting both iOS and Android-based tablets and smartphones- now with cloud computing technology. Let’s take a look at the features:
The Server Shortage:Who Wins?
MorganStanley predicts that by the end of 2012, Cloud Computing- including Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) will be a US$400 billion dollar global industry- a fantastic rise for such a new technology. But behind the rapid rise of the cloud lies one nagging question- do we have the server space to handle it?
Windows 8 Tablets and the Cloud
Windows Mobile and Windows Phone 7 have long been the also-rans of the mobile world. As Android, Symbian & iOS based phones and tablets have raced ahead, Microsoft seems to have dropped the ball on this one, as their meager market share has continued to slide, dropping to a rock-bottom 1.6 percent in August 2011- even lower than Bada, Samsung’s proprietary operating system. (Ever seen a device running Bada? Yeah, neither have we.)
Augmenting Your Reality
If there’s a candidate for “next big buzzword” waiting in the wings after cloud computing’s hype has died down, it has to be “Augmented Reality” (AR). It’s been bandied about in mobile and information technology circles for a few years now, and among science fiction fans for at least a decade- but what does it mean, practically speaking? Will it live up to the emerging hype? And, most importantly- what can your business do with it?
Making China's Infrastructure Cloud-Ready
China is rightly famous for it’s ability to construct infrastructure on a massive scale quickly and effectively. While recent high profile accidents, corruption scandals and malinvestment have tarnished the country’s image slightly, there’s no denying that a great deal of what has been accomplished is tremendously impressive, from the country’s reliable billion-phone mobile network, sparkling airports, and megacities of skyscrapers raised from rice paddies in only two decades. But the country is still lacking in some major areas, especially one of crucial importance to cloud applications: data center coverage.
