iPad Mini Rumor Roundup: Everything We Think We Know

Image
Now that the iPhone 5 is out, there's just one more thing for Apple nerds to freak out over: The iPad Mini. Rumors have been cropping up like crazy the past few weeks—enough to start putting together what we'll actually see from a 7-inch Apple tablet. So let's talk iPads.  Small  iPads. What Will It Look Like? If the accuracy of the iPhone 5 leaks is anything to go by, we've probably got a pretty good jump on what the new tablet will look like. What we've seen so far jibes with previous thoughts that the bezel on the smaller iPad will be  thinner than it is on the full sized version , due to ergonomics. Otherwise, surprise! It reportedly looks like a shrunk-down iPad (as opposed to a bigger iPod touch). There had been decent amount of conflicting speculation, but the rumor-mongers (and, more importantly, leaked images) seem to have settled on the squatter version, to the tune of a 7.85-inch diagonal measurement. And yes,  iOS can pretty easily scale down ...

What is Cloud Computing?

Cloud computing is a technology that uses the internet and central remote servers to maintain data and applications. Cloud computing allows consumers and businesses to use applications without installation and access their personal files at any computer with internet access. This technology allows for much more efficient computing by centralizing storage, memory, processing and bandwidth.

What Is Hadoop?

Hadoop is a term you will hear over and over again when discussing the processing of big data information. You might have also seen the yellow elephant image, which is the copyrighted icon depicting Hadoop (Hadoop was the name of the founder’s ( Doug Cutting’s ) son’s toy elephant). In the other post, I broke down the idea of MapReduce into the most easily digestible way possible; here is the same with Hadoop. A little history… Hadoop was born out of a need to process big data, as the amount of generated data continued to rapidly increase. As the Web generated more and more information, it was becoming quite challenging to index the content, so Google created MapReduce in 2004, then Yahoo! created Hadoop as a way to implement the MapReduce function. Hadoop is now an open-source Apache implementation project. Overall, Hadoop enables applications to work with huge amounts of data stored on various servers.  Hadoop’s functions allow the existing data to be pulled from vario...

IT Trends for 2013

1. Cloud computing – is the sky really the limit? The mother of all forecasts, Gartner 2012 Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies, names cloud computing as one of the big developments. Cloud will have a major impact on the IT world over the next five years. However, Andreas Zilch, member of the management board of Experton Group, believes that cloud computing is currently undergoing a difficult period. The technology needs to make the leap from media hype to maturity, he says. Nevertheless, Zilch also believes this trend will have a lasting influence. And some effects can already be seen, says Mario Zillmann, senior consultant at Lünendonk. “Cloud computing is a topic that practically all IT providers are driving,” he says. Zillmann adds that it is no longer a trend, but already forms the basis for specific business models. Peter Lempp, COO of Capgemini Germany, likewise believes that the cloud has shifted from theory to practice, especially the private cloud. Lempp i...

Top Mobile Development Trends of 2013

HTML5 Takes Over Until recently, native apps drove the development community on mobile. Developer teams would assemble resources, choose an initial platform, such as iOS or Android, on which to develop a product or app and ship it at high cost both in funding and in time. But 2013 is HTML5’s year. According to Lunn, the mobile industry is coming to “a stage where a less skilled developer can write apps very fast with compatibility across multiple devices.” This “democratization” of web-based mobile development will speed the rate of mobile innovation in nearly every industry. Mobile Device Price Wars Mobile device makers across all platforms have begun to price their devices down, allowing more consumers and developers to gain access to products, payments and information. Speculation abounds that even Apple is set to announce a more affordable iPhone this year. Combined with widespread HTML5 development, mobile apps will become exponentially more affordable to develop and sh...

The probability that a certain person be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.

In this regard , Nature seems indeed to have outdone herself. It is well known that Nature manages, rather mysteriously, to keep constant the relative frequency of certain natural phenomena. For instance, whether men proliferate at the Northern Pole or at the Equator, whether the matching couples are developed or underdeveloped, whether they are black, red, white or yellow the female to male ratio among the newly born is a constant, with a very slight prevalence of males. We do not know how Nature achieves this remarkable result but we know that in order to achieve it Nature must operate with large numbers. The most remarkable fact about the frequency of stupidity is that Nature succeeds in making this frequency equal to the probability  s  quite independently from the size of the group. Thus one finds the same percentage of stupid people whether one is considering very large groups or one is dealing with very small ones. No other set of observable phenomena offers su...
