Worldwide IT services deals with a cloud computing element have tripled since 2010, according to research from IT outsourcing consultancy ISG.
According to an article on ComputerWeekly.com, ISG used its TPI index to analyze IT outsourcing deals and found 2012 will bear 300 IT contracts awarded that involve cloud computing services. This compares with 110 in 2010 and 220 in 2011.
Stanton Jones, emerging technology analyst at ISG, said the move to standardized platform-based services which are difficult to customize is a step-change for the IT services sector.
"Cloud services, especially shared platforms, are a new terrain for providers and clients alike, as they are highly standardized and can't be easily customized - the antithesis of traditional outsourcing," said Jones.
He added that the greatest potential for growth and momentum is in Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) - especially for human resources (HR), customer relationship management CRM) and collaboration.
Jones said Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) will lag behind SaaS in enterprise-wide adoption.
Cloud Computing: The Semi-Secret Economic Equalizer
Businesses in developing countries are reaping the benefits of cloud computing - perhaps to better effect than domestic U.S. organizations, according to an article on InformationWeek.com.
UCSD's Guardian magazine reports on an often-overlooked aspect of cloud computing. According to the university's researchers, "developing countries are utilizing the growing adoption of 'cloud computing' - the use of consumer devices to access remote computer and information resources - to expand their economic role in an increasingly global economy."
As the study shows, the cost efficiencies of cloud computing are the same in Third World countries as in the developed world, and up-and-coming nations can now leverage data, applications and infrastructure that were once cost prohibitive. In turn, this increases commerce by facilitating the countries' entrance into the global markets, writes InformationWeek's David Linthicum.
In the past, new technology was often out of reach for poorer countries, but cloud computing breaks the mold, as it's both affordable and effective. This is analogous to the adoption of smartphones in countries that never created a fully functional wired infrastructure; instead, they jumped right into newer wireless devices and built cell towers. Now, they have better cellular coverage than many areas in the United States.
Top Cloud Computing Myths
InformationWeek put out an interesting take on its perceived "dumb myths" in the world of cloud computing.
The article even addresses the vaporous definition of cloud.
"The heart of cloud computing revolves around a new pattern of distributing computing power, not a new technology. In this new pattern, the end user has much more control than he used to over a powerful, remote server owned by somebody else. That control can extend up to the point where he achieves programmatic control over the server, if desired. Getting that control while engaging in one of the lowest-cost forms of computing is the heart of the cloud, an emerging relationship between the end user and publicly accessible data services," writes InformationWeek's Charles Babcock.
The myths that are most difficult to bust, according to the article, are the ones involving cloud costs. There are many circumstances where monitoring cloud usage gets away from IT managers. They lose track of what employees have spun up; at the end of the month IT is presented with a big, surprising bill.
Before any cost comparison can be made, the cloud customer needs to know what specific operations in his own data center cost - a major research project. Some IT organizations do not have a true measure of total data center cost.
Have a look here at the list of the top cloud myths that continue to perplex prospective cloud users.

This is a no-hype, pragmatic post about why I think you should consider architecting your next project the way SOA and/or microservices suggest. No matter if it's a greenfield approach or if you're in dire need of refactoring. Please note: considering still keeps open the option of not taking that approach. After reading this, you will have a better idea about whether building multiple small components instead of a single, large component makes sense for your project. This post assumes that you...

Sharding has become a popular means of achieving scalability in application architectures in which read/write data separation is not only possible, but desirable to achieve new heights of concurrency. The premise is that by splitting up read and write duties, it is possible to get better overall performance at the cost of a slight delay in consistency. That is, it takes a bit of time to replicate changes initiated by a "write" to the read-only master database. It's eventually consistent, and it'...

Before becoming a developer, I was in the high school band. I played several brass instruments - including French horn and cornet - as well as keyboards in the jazz stage band. A musician and a nerd, what can I say? I even dabbled in writing music for the band. Okay, mostly I wrote arrangements of pop music, so the band could keep the crowd entertained during Friday night football games. What struck me then was that, to write parts for all the instruments - brass, woodwind, percussion, even k...

There's a lot of things we do to improve the performance of web and mobile applications. We use caching. We use compression. We offload security (SSL and TLS) to a proxy with greater compute capacity. We apply image optimization and minification to content. We do all that because performance is king. Failure to perform can be, for many businesses, equivalent to an outage with increased abandonment rates and angry customers taking to the Internet to express their extreme displeasure.

Let's just nip the conflation of these terms in the bud, shall we?
"MIcro" is big these days. Both microservices and microsegmentation are having and will continue to have an impact on data center architecture, but not necessarily for the same reasons. There's a growing trend in which folks - particularly those with a network background - conflate the two and use them to mean the same thing.
They are not.

Right off the bat, Newman advises that we should "think of microservices as a specific approach for SOA in the same way that XP or Scrum are specific approaches for Agile Software development". These analogies are very interesting because my expectation was that microservices is a pattern. So I might infer that microservices is a set of process techniques as opposed to an architectural approach. Yet in the book, Newman clearly includes some elements of concept model and architecture as well as p...

Use this for my sons Pride Victory scooter. Carrier was easy to assemble and installs with no problem. Heavy for one person but still possible to do.Recently had a tie down strap (not included) come loose and the scooter moved and broke on of plastic corners and shattered it. I am now attempting to find parts to repair the carier.I have driven at speeds in excess of 65 mph and had no trouble with carrier. Just returned from Boy Scout camp and the carrier survived rough roads with no difficulty.Plastic corners are only concern but should be fine if you make sure everything is tied down.

Looks great until you try and put it together. Then I found there were NO holes for 2 of the brackets. OK I drilled them and it worked, but I should not have to drill the holes. THE MOST GLARING PROBLEM! You can not load your mobility scooter. The rungs on the ramp are too far apart ant the scooters wheels get stuck on the ramp (I am loading a 4 wheel GO GO scooter). I modify the ramp by installing two aluminum runners on the ramp. This fixed the problem. But when you buy something advertised to haul your mobility scooter you should not have to modify it to make it work.

Product description says 29.5 wide but the opening with top rail put together you really only have 27 inches so like I bought this to carry my snow blower which is 28 wide, got it to fit but hardly.

Just a comment on packing and shipping: When I received my item, it had been thrown around a bit in shipping. The individual bags of hardware had ripped and several pieces of hardware must hve fallen out of the holes in the box and were MIA. I had to round up hardware to put together the unit.Other than that it looks to be a great unit and tool for my needs.

Abortion rates have hit a 17-year-low as implant contraception use skyrockets across the country.
Recently released Statistics New Zealand figures show that in 2012, 14,745 women had an abortion.
It is the lowest rate since 1995, 17 years ago, when more than 13,500 women had an abortion.
Family Planning chief executive Jackie Edmond said abortion rates were falling worldwide as long-acting, reversible contraception becomes more accessible and affordable.
One of the most popular of these is the Jadelle implant, roughly the size of a matchstick, which is inserted into the skin of the upper arm under local anaesthetic.
It releases a hormone to prevent pregnancy and lasts for five years.
Since Jadelle became subsidised in August 2010, uptake at Family Planning clinics alone has increased more than 2500 per cent.
In the financial year 2008/2009 just 143 women opted for the implant, which then cost around $300.
In the last financial year almost 4000 women opted to pay $5 and a small insertion fee for the implant.
Across the country more than 13,500 women got an implant last year.
"We are seeing an increase in use and that is having a positive impact," Edmond said.
Births have also dropped across New Zealand at the same time, falling from 63,897 in 2010 to 61,178 in 2012.
Unlike the pill, women do not have to worry about taking medication when using the implant.
This might have spurred a drop in conception while people were intoxicated and forgetting to use contraception, Edmonds said.
Although, she cautioned that "all forms of contraception do have a failure rate".
Edmonds was pleased fewer women were facing the tough, emotional decision of an abortion.
However, she was "always cautious about celebrating numbers" until more research is done.
Jadelle implants were subsidised in 2010 and abortion rates have dropped sharply since. (Statistics New Zealand) National abortion rate 2009: 17,550
2010: 16,630
2011: 15,863
2012: 14,745 Canterbury 2009: 2067
2010: 1906
2011: 1645
2012: 1544
Step by step To have an abortion, women must first see a doctor and then obtain approval from two certifying consultants. Research from the University of Otago, Christchurch, suggests abortion does not reduce the mental health risks of unwanted pregnancy.
It found a range of other factors associated with unwanted pregnancy, including education, family finances, the needs of other children and relationships.

Atlanta boy stops kidnapper by singing a gospel song
WXIA-TV, Associated Press
Police suspect a gospel song kept a then-9-year-old boy alive when a man kidnapped him earlier this April.
Willie Myrick, now 10, was in his front yard in Atlanta when a man grabbed him and threw him in his car, Fox News reports.
"He told me he didn't want to hear a word from me, so I didn't say nothing," Willie said on The Kelly File from Fox News.
But the man's use of expletives and telling Willie to "shut up" didn't keep the boy from singing a song written by Grammy Award winner Hezekiah Walker.
"He just kept 'praising God' with Walker's 'Every Praise,' a song he learned in Sunday school," the Christian Post reports.
After three hours of driving, the man let Willie out in East Point, Georgia, a town outside of Atlanta.
"It really has become the song heard round the world and police say it very well may have saved the life of 10-year-old Willie Myrick," Trace Gallagher said on The Kelly Report.
After the man let Willie out of his car, the boy ran to a nearby home and asked to call his mother. Willie was then able to return home to safety.
Since the ordeal, Mt. Carmel Baptist Church held a meeting Thursday, April 10, in Willie's honor with special guest Hezekiah Walker.
Willie and Walker were emotional during the evening while singing together.
"I really believe that God spoke through me to save that young man's life," the Christian Post reports.
Police are still searching for the man who kidnapped Willie, and hope a police sketch will help their search.

"Literature is totally incomprehensible to the illiterate. I write very much on purpose in a way that demands some mental effort to block and perplex the zombie hordes out there. If we do not take a stand for mental effort we will surely descend into lols and omgs. Any thoughts?

Osteoporosis affects all populations, but the risk for low bone density and fracture varies greatly by self-reported race and ethnicity. In this article, the relationship between measured percent African admixture and hip structural geometry, estimated from the hip structural analysis (HSA) program, was examined in a subcohort of the Women's Health Initiative (WHI). The study sample included 793 African-American women and 8559 non-Hispanic white women. All the participants were postmenopausal, between the ages of 50 and 79 years, at the time of recruitment and were followed for up to 9 years. Bone density and hip geometry were assessed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. African admixture was measured for African Americans using genetic ancestry informative markers. Multiple regression and mixed-effects models were used for cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses, respectively. Covariates assessed from questionnaires and physical measurements were included in the analysis to control for possible confounding effects. The study results show significant correlations between percent of African admixture and HSA assessments. In comparison with non-Hispanic white women, significantly greater bone strength, as indicated by higher hip bone mineral density and stronger hip geometry, in women with higher African admixture was observed. However, women with higher percent African admixture had larger reductions in bone strength than non-Hispanic white women during the follow-up. © 2011 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research

By Katy Askew | 18 April 2012
Pfizer "nearing" baby food sale
Pfizer is reportedly nearing an agreement to sell its infant nutrition business, with both Nestle and Danone linked to the deal.
The US pharmaceutical company has previously confirmed to just-food that it is "considering strategic options" for the business, including a "sale, spin-off or other transaction".
According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, Pfizer has stuck an agreement to sell the unit to Nestle for US$9bn. Meanwhile, other reports have suggested that Nestle and Danone have both submitted competing bids, valuing the business at around $10bn.
Pfizer is expected to announce a sale of the unit next week.

"Character farm cottages in glorious countryside above an unspoilt hidden valley...with all-weather leisure facilities"
Robin Hill Farm is set in 14 acres of beautiful rolling countryside in the North Devon biosphere. The six properties, converted from stone farm barns and buildings, are centred around the old cobbled farmyard. The location offers a peaceful and secluded setting away from the daily hustle and bustle, yet it is only 3 miles to shops, entertainment and the beach. Inside the holiday cottages are well furnished and provide a relaxing haven after a long day sightseeing, walking, cycling or on the beach. The heated indoor swimming pool room includes a hot tub and a stunning conservatory attached. Learn to swim, with tuition from qualified instructors. From the conservatory and decking area guests can enjoy the beautiful views over the valley towards Exmoor, whilst drying off or enjoy a coffee or glass of wine no matter what the weather. There is a very well equipped games room for all ages and for big and little kids video games can be enjoyed on a 60in plasma screen. Outside the grounds have been landscaped to create two play areas, one with ball games, the other with playhouse and climbing frame. A communal patio means that adults can relax whilst watching their children play. Guests can enjoy the farm's 14 acres of land and woodland walk which are host to a variety of wildlife and wild flowers with lovely views of Jennetts Reservoir. Nearby there is plenty to keep visitors busy. Many quaint villages await discovery - the photogenic 'chocolate box' village of Clovelly being of particular note. Appledore offers all the olde worlde charm of a fishing village, famous for its arts, crafts and maritime heritage. Beach lovers will delight in the wide sandy beaches, the nearest being Westward Ho! Walkers can enjoy the spectacular scenery of the coastal path, while the Tarka Trail traces the steps of Henry Williamson's Tarka the Otter and provides miles of traffic-free cycling (and walking) - bikes can be stored securely or hired locally. Award-winning farm parks, The Milky Way and The Big Sheep, will fascinate the younger ones. Gardens within 30 minutes' drive include RHS Rosemoor, Docton Mill and Tapeley Park. Several local pubs nearby, with the nearest in Littleham village serving real ale and home cooked food. Shops 3 miles, pub 1½ miles.

The Grange Holiday Cottages are a group of barn conversions finished to a very good standard. They are perfect for families or couples who love the great outdoors as there are many fantastic walks along the rugged clifftops. As well as the main farmhouse which adjoins the owners' home, (ref 30799), there are five other holiday cottages (refs 30794, 30795, 30796, 30797, 30798) - an ideal setting if there are a few of you wanting to get away together. The owners have a successful campsite nearby and have taken great care in providing an alternative type of holiday with the conversion of the barns to superb holiday cottages. Each cottage has a vaulted ceiling giving a sense of space and light, but also has its own individual charm and character. The cottages have a garden area with outside furniture and BBQs. There is plenty of space for the children to play, but you can always find a peaceful retreat where you can sit and read a book. There is also a shared laundry room with a washer/dryer, iron and ironing board available for all properties to use. The Grange is situated in Flamborough on the east coast of Yorkshire. This is a perfect base to visit the east coast and all that what Yorkshire has to offer. Although Flamborough is only a small resort compared to its neighbours, it has everything you need from local shops to restaurants, pubs and good old fish and chip shop. Just along the coast are the RSPB Bempton Cliffs where you can observe puffins and guillemots in their natural habitat. Visitors even come from overseas to see this magnificent display of over 200 thousand seabirds. The famous spa town of Bridlington is just 5 miles away. This is a traditional seaside resort providing a family holiday experience - from donkey rides to crab pools, there is always something to do at Bridlington. The land train travels along the coast up to Sewerby where you can visit the famous Sewerby Hall and Gardens. Stately homes are in abundance with Sledmere, Burton Agnes and Burton Constable. There is the famous Yorkshire Bell boat that takes the tourists along the coast and back again, which children especially enjoy. There is also plenty of nightlife in Bridlington and the famous Spa Theatre provides some excellent shows throughout the year. Along the coast at Scarborough is Stephen Joseph Theatre which is known for its premieres of almost all of Alan Ayckbourn's plays. It also boasts the largest open air theatre in Europe. The Grange is a great base from which to see the North York Moors, the Wolds and even the city of York is only an hour away. Come and see for yourself what a great place it is. A luggage room is available at your convenience for late departures or early arrivals. Beach 4½ miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 900 yards.

New Photo Gallery: the iPod+hp
To round out our collection of iPod hardware unpacking photo galleries, we've added a new gallery to show off the Apple iPod from HP (iPod+hp), the co-branded 20- or 40-Gigabyte fourth-generation iPod. The pictures show not only the iPod, which has a couple of small differences on its rear engraving (size of the iPod logo and the presence of a "HP invent" logo), but also its distinctive packaging and manuals. Note the quick start poster, unusual supplementary Shuffle Songs insert, and the presence of entirely Apple-branded cables, power supply, and Dock.

i never really understood the purpose of apple cutting this deal with hp. is apple making less money on each hp ipod sold versus the regular apple branded ipods? what's hp's cut?
i cant find a motive for apple to pursue this venture. sure people say that it increases their market awareness, but by how much? everyone already knows all about the ipod.
but then, the deal is that hp machines will be pre-loaded with iTunes, thus further promoting iPod awareness, so maybe that's it.
Posted by StinkieDMB in East Amherst, NY, USA on November 17, 2004 at 12:19 AM (CST)
HP's another reseller. Apple AND the reseller make money. Nothing unusual there—everybody wins.
What's special in this case:
1) The sheer volume HP can move, with their presence in so many retail outlets. A LOT of new awareness, and a LOT of added sales.
2) Tones down the prejudice some buyers have against an iPod just BECAUSE it's from Apple. Some will be more comfortable with an HP logo on the box.
3) Sells in PC-only circles, to those who still thought the iPod was Mac-only. This counters that ignorance.
4) And yes, iTunes being pre-loaded (much to Microsoft's chagrin) is a good thing for Apple too.
5) And for HP's part, they want to position themselves in the digital music market—both players and online stores—and iPod/iTunes lets them do so in a very good way: attaching themselves to the best.
Posted by Nagromme in East Amherst, NY, USA on November 17, 2004 at 2:10 AM (CST)
Don't forget the iTunes Music Store… PC users buyng music is another major motivation. Its not ALL about the hardware in this case.

PC vs. Mac deathmatch: Snow Leopard beats Windows 7
Windows 7 is a worthy rival, but Mac OS X Snow Leopard is the better operating system by a whisker for discriminating professionals
Read on to find out how Windows 7 and Snow Leopard compare in usability, features, security, and speed. In some areas the winner is clear, while in others I have to call it a draw. Generally where one wins, the other is not far behind. Perhaps not surprisingly, Apple and Microsoft largely agree on how an operating system should look and act when you're trying to get work done. The similarities are often striking.
One last note before we dive into the details: To test the operating systems, I installed each on a dedicated laptop computer that had previously been running the earlier version. In each case, either shipping or release candidate code was used for the initial installation, and each was current with all patches and updates as of the date of testing.
Usability: File exploring
While noting that there are options you can set to determine just how files and folders will be displayed, both Windows 7 and Snow Leopard follow the same basic script for letting you find files. The larger units (computer, network, libraries, and so on) are on the left side of the window, while details are on the right.
Windows 7 places more options in front of the user with the bar at the top of the window, while Snow Leopard tends to place the options under buttons there. No huge difference here, though I'll say that the "more intuitive" description that Mac users love to throw around suffers a bit when intuition is hidden under icons. It's true that you can add tasks to the toolbar in Mac OS X, but it requires more work than simply accepting the default options in Windows 7.
The larger difference comes in Windows 7's treatment of "libraries." In a library, you can collect files of various sorts without moving them from the folder where they're stored; libraries can even collect files from different disks. It's easy to create these collections of whatever you'd like and pin them to the left-hand side of the window. If you're like me, a file pack rat who tends to work on a number of different projects at once, then the libraries can be a major improvement in the way you work with files.
Verdict: Yes, Snow Leopard has the ability to move documents into stacks on the Dock, but the Windows 7 libraries are much more powerful and flexible. Advantage: Windows 7.
Usability: Launching applications
There is no more iconic visual symbol for Mac OS X than the dock, that strip at the bottom of the screen where frequently used applications live. It's easy to forget that you can launch most programs from the applications folder, but good to remember before your dock becomes hopelessly overcrowded. Snow Leopard didn't make significant changes to the dock, so users accustomed to the Leopard way of doing things should be comfortable with Snow Leopard's as well.
Windows 7, on the other hand, makes significant changes to the Windows task bar. It's now possible to pin applications to the task bar to make it far more Mac-like. Further, Windows 7 improves on the Mac model by allowing you to pin folders to the task bar, as well. The Windows 7 task bar can also be moved around the screen, appearing at the bottom, top, or either side, though most users will find it easier to let it sit at the bottom, where it's always been.
Verdict: The ability to pin folders is a genuine improvement to the Windows task bar, especially when your work requires you to constantly refer back to the same set of files. Advantage: Windows 7.
Snow Leopard vs. Windows 7

AUS v NZ in 12ft Skiff battle in Brisbane
by Richard Billett on 15 Nov 2012
Last years winners - Nick Press and Andrew Stevenson - 52nd 12ft Skiff Interdominion Championship Richard Billett
The Harsco Infrastructure 53rd 12ft Skiff Interdominions on Moreton Bay will be proudly hosted by the Brisbane 18 footers in January. Up to 40 skiffs from Queensland, New South Wales and New Zealand are expected to attend this year's regatta. It will be high performance sailing at its best, with current Interdominion Champion Nick Press of Australia looking to win it three years in a row.
The world's leading access, formwork and industrial maintenance service provider, Harsco Infrastructure is proudly supporting the event.
Racing in Queensland and New South Wales has been close this season with a number of competitive crews on the water in the lead up to the event looking forward to taking on the New Zealand crews. All the skiffs will be looking forward to stretching their legs in the consistent breeze and open space of the bay in what will be a strongly contested regatta.
The trophies up for grabs include the Silasec Trophy for the overall champion, the Don Brooke Trophy for the winning Australian or New Zealand team and the Miner's Trophy for the Underall champion, who demonstrates the most spectacular and consistent capsizing through the event.
Starting from humble beginnings, the 12ft skiff has grown and endured to become one of the last true development classes racing today. With only nine class rules limiting hull size and weight at 45kgs, sailors are free to create and race the boat that they want. The result of this is an extreme 12ft boat that regularly becomes airborne under the power of its massive spinnaker.
The racing will start on the fourth of January from the Darling Point Sailing Squadron at Manly Boat Harbour so if you are interested in checking out the skiffs, the competition or the competitors then come

Epic Bunneh !!!!
Couldn't look away for a moment. Excellent !!!!! Best Bunneh yet !!!
So beautiful and inspiring...
The movements of the characters, to the design and look of it all was just fabulous. You have inspired me, as probably many others. Congrats on the success and we are all awaiting part two. This should be good. On a related topic, you should definitely make some "Watch me animate" series while animating a BunnyKill related animation, I would love to watch it. Keep up the great work and expect another review from me when part 2 comes out!
Streaming live while animating on Justin.tv(and commenting while I do it) has crossed my mind a few times, to be honest. But I'm usually dead bent on not wanting to give any spoilers to the public before release, so that's what's been holding me back on that idea.
That was, epic.
2 things
why did snowball die and the weapons look kinda futuristic except the pistol
The theme is "semi-futuristic" this time around so the slightly futuristic look on the guns was on purpose.
Awesome flash!
I see what you did there. The cyber-ninjas' deaths mirror the deaths of the ninjas from the original Bunnykill.
Epic flash, great story twist, 10/10, 5/5.
