Guys, try nya mo ani. G.ho.st® (ghost) - Cloud computing - online storage, Virtual Computer (VC), Web OS (WebOS, Webtop)

Medyo hinay siya gamay ug response time but the concept is solid.

Interesting ...

very interesting. Google said nga nag develop sad sila ug something similar. Pwede ba nga ang PC walay OS pero naay browser?

walay os|?
tana pwede. pero mas possible nga walang browser

hehehe, mao sad bitaw. ang problem lang ani niya kay what if ma-putol imo internet connection.

Let's peer five years into the future ...

LTE will be here. WiMax will be here. We will be seeing pocket 4G routers similar to the MiFi but featuring 50-100mbps internet connectivity. (Meanwhile, fibre-in-the-ground speeds will be mostly topped out at 50-100mbps, except where new construction in high-value areas has permitted the installation of gigabit and faster links.) Internet access will be increasingly mobile. Phone screens are okay, but a 7-8cm diagonal screen is too small for anyone aged over 40-45 to be comfortable squinting at: hence the market for larger pads/tablets.

The availability of 50+mbps data everywhere means that you don't need to keep your data on a local hard drive; it can live on a server elsewhere, streamed to your pad as you need it.

Apple is known to be investing heavily in data centres suitable for cloud hosting. There are persistent rumours that "iTunes 10" will be some kind of cloud service, slurping up your music and video library and streaming it out to whatever device you've registered with Apple. There's MobileMe for email, and iWork.com for office documents. There will be more — much more.

The iPad by 2015 will have evolved. There will be smaller models with 7"/18cm screens, and larger desktop models. Most importantly they'll be using newer processors, either a descendant of today's Atom CPU (remember, Apple's demand that developers only use Apple's compiler toolchain mean that Apple can shift the app store to a new CPU architecture quite easily) or Cortex A9 class ARM cores — dual core, 2GHz, and up, vastly faster than the current machine ... or vastly more energy-efficient at the same performance level. But where it will really shine — the value proposition that will keep punters forking over huge gobbets of steaming money, in the midst of a PC industry that's cratering — will be the external benefits of joining the Apple ecosystem.

If you're using an iPad in 2015, my bet is that you won't bother to have home broadband; you'll just have data on demand wherever you are. You won't bother yourself about backups, because your data is stored in Apple's cloud. You won't need to bother about software updates because all that stuff will simply happen automatically in the background, without any fuss: nor will worms or viruses or malware be allowed. You will, of course, pay a lot more for the experience than your netbook-toting hardcore microsofties — but you won't have to worry about your antivirus software breaking your computer, either. Because you won't have a "computer" in the current sense of the word. You'll just be surrounded by a swarm of devices that give you access to your data whenever and however you need it.

This is why there's a stench of panic hanging over silicon valley. this is why Apple have turned into paranoid security Nazis, why HP have just ditched Microsoft from a forthcoming major platform and splurged a billion-plus on buying up a near-failure; it's why everyone is terrified of Google:

The PC revolution is almost coming to an end, and everyone's trying to work out a strategy for surviving the aftermath.

it's the other way around.. it should be bowser without OS...

ang nag dagan sa imong device is just a browser same sa kindle..

walay OS ang kindle.. browser lang..

here is a reply from a friend sa mailing list..

Seiretto News - cloud computing: advantages and disadvantages

Advantages/positives

- currently these include:
Dynamism - providing the ability to expand and contract as requirements arise. This benefit adds saleability to your online system which previously was only available to big organisations.
Ease of implementation means it should be quicker to develop.
Automated - so software updates and upgrades are automatically completed.
Incremental payments so no large initial outlay.
Disadvantages/negatives

- currently these include:
Software update/patches - could change security settings, assigning privileges too low, or even more alarmingly too high allowing access to your data by other parties.
Security concerns. Experts claim that their clouds are 100% secure - but it will not be their head on the block when things go awry. It's often stated that cloud computing security is better than most enterprises. Also, how do you decide which data to handle in the cloud and which to keep to internal systems - once decided keeping it secure could well be a full-time task.
Control of your data/system by third-party. Data - once in the cloud always in the cloud! Can you be sure that once you delete data from your cloud account will it not exist any more... ...or will traces remain in the cloud?
Law is lagging behind: could take many more years before required legal matters emerge.
Policy issue: dependant upon data gathered it may be illegal to export out of the country (Europeans within the EEC). This may not be an issue if the location of the cloud data centre is within the same country. What about their backups, where are these sent? It could be streamed off shore, meaning the eventual location of your data is not within your own country.
Latency (if the cloud data centre is located off shore) client connection time to your data may not be as fast as you envisaged.
Risks from third-party providers: downtime, speed of infrastructure.
Implementation: data integration issues are rife due to the difficulties in managing relationships, and for most the default server setup is the only option.
Costs can spiral quickly if usage becomes greater than projections. Also, if an account becomes compromised/hacked and then used for illegal file-sharing the costs of the bandwidth usage and processor time could escalate to extreme amounts within hours.

Kindle runs on Linux.

Re: Cloud computing, it's a very interesting subject really. I've organized a couple of workshops/seminars about it 2 years ago. We might also be having another event next month, again on the same subject.

I stand corrected..

Can we join the workshops/ seminars?
