ARM processors are used mostly in smartphones, but Boston Limited is offering a service through which developers can port existing x86 applications to work on ARM servers, which can then be tested via a cloud service.

It seems not too long ago that the storage industry was fragmented in terms of the "compute" layer in their storage systems. PowerPC, MIPS, Sparc and other platforms dominated the "pie chart" with x86 occupying a small share. Then something happened - all suppliers moved to x86 as a premise for commoditization of the storage platform. With vendors like Dell now testing low-powered ARM based servers and ARM releasing a 64-bit architecture, the question is how long before ARM becomes the platform of choice for storage vendors?

Bertrand Serlet is widely considered to be the brains behind Apple's Mac operating system. He was even mentioned as a possible successor to Steve Jobs at one point. So it came as a shock to some when Serlet decided to step down in March, 2011 after 22 years with the company.
At the time, Serlet offered a vague explanation for his decision, noting that he wanted to "focus less on products and more on science." He didn't mention any specific plans at the time and has effectively dropped off the radar, until now.
Business Insider has learned that Serlet has spent much of the time since his departure from Apple working with at least two other former Apple employees to launch a cloud computing startup in downtown Palo Alto called Upthere.
The startup is still in stealth mode, so information about it is scarce, but we've uncovered a few details about the company through job postings, trademark requests, domain name registrations and tweets from employees. Delete the scoop?

Face à une profusion d'informations de plus en plus hétérogènes et de moins en moins structurées, un des enjeux majeurs pour l'ensemble des acteurs économiques dans les dix ans à venir sera leur capacité à exploiter, analyser et transformer en valeur ces avalanches de données produites, et ce, si possible, en temps réel.

"In addition to connections, for carriers, jumping into cloud computing offerings can be a way to make additional revenue with services. “Many have stepped up to provide end-to-end cloud solutions,” DeCarlo pointed out. “Telecom companies have more than just the network; most also have significant data center infrastructures and deep expertise in virtualization. They can leverage this to create complete end-to-end cloud solutions, particularly in areas like IaaS.”
Indeed, there are opportunities available for carriers that decide to include cloud in their portfolio. DeCarlo highlighted that cloud services could give carriers more than just a source of replacement revenue for services whose margins are declining rapidly. “On-demand service can introduce a whole new set of prospects to the carrier’s services and open up new market growth sectors to the provider,” she said."

ZangZing had been cleverly standing out as a possible "after MobileMe" solution for those who cannot wait for iOS6 "share from Photostream" feature unveiled at WWDC.
Joseph Ansanelli's team had designed a superior user interface, a clever ingestion mechanism including fetching albums from other sites, along with comprehensive privacy settings while sharing albums with others.
The email below is therefore a total surprise for subscribers as well as a strong disappointment, and we don't understand yet what motivated it.
Now that two consumer photosharing services are gone, which of the remaining ones will stand out and take care of the rest of us ?

L'Etat, via le Fonds national pour la société numérique (FSN), va investir 75 millions d'euros dans le projet alliant les entreprises Orange et Thales, pour développer une "centrale numérique" (cloud computing) qui stockera les données informatiques stratégiques françaises.
Il s'agit du premier investissement de ce fonds, lancé en mars 2011, ont souligné dans un communiqué commun le ministre de l'Industrie et de l'Economie numérique Eric Besson et le Commissaire général à l'investissement René Ricol. Le FSN dispose d'un total de 4,25 milliards d'euros, dont une partie est destinée à accompagner en investissement les acteurs développant de nouveaux usages, services et contenus numériques. Sa gestion est assurée par la Caisse des Dépôts. Delete the scoop?
