Internet Cloud

Since 1900′s the concept cloud has been used, first it reefers to the telephone were all the phones were connected with a cable, then in the 80′s the first related concept to computers came out meaning a server were all the data is stored and can be accessed anywhere.
This concept has been improving in lately years improving the way we see and use the internet.

First of all we need to know the two parts of the “cloud” The front and the back.
The front is what we see in the computer or in any gadget that let us access our data meaning a phone, a computer, or any divice that can access the internet. Here is were we see our data, modify our data, or store our data.
The back is the server were everything is stored and we don’t have to care were it is or how it works, cause they do everything for us.
Finally we need to know that the service provider, in where we are making usage of the cloud, they have to pay to a third company for the amount of data they will use, I mean they don’t own all the storage and only let you use it. So let’s say that if we use a free service and we expand the storage up to 50 GB, they will pay a third company for that amount of storage.
So the usage of the “cloud” for any internet web based service will be more often needed by all web service companies or they won’t be able to be competitive.

Nintendo teams with Google for glorified ‘Google Fight’ gameplay for Wii

Apparently it’s a bit of trend at Nintendo as well (or maybe Nintendo just likes money), because they’ve teamed up with Google to release a game for the Wii in Japan called Ando Kensaku comprised of just such a mechanism. Players compete by guessing the most popular search term, an action we hope is somehow augmented by a dramatic Wiimote flourish

Nokia, others seen following Apple in tablet push

Many other handset makers and PC vendors, including Samsung Electronics Co Ltd and Hewlett-Packard Co , are expected to follow Apple Inc’s move into the new category of devices, between traditional PCs and smartphones.

Over the weekend, Apple sold more than 300,000 iPads on the tablet computer’s first day in stores, a strong showing that roughly matched Wall Street forecasts and mirrored the iPhone’s debut in 2007.

The runaway success of iPhone surprised Nokia, and it took almost two years for the Finnish firm to roll out its first phone model with a large touch screen.

The cellphone maker entered the PC industry last year when it introduced its first laptop. It has sold small phone-like devices for browsing the Internet since 2005, but with very limited success.
