Comment on Defining Cloud Computing for Business Users by Francis Ip

Ismael,

“…more than 50 years of distributed computing.” Computer networking didn’t emerge until the mid-70s, be it IBM SNA, DECnet, APARNET, or Tandem. Tandem was the first vendor that delivered a distributed computing system (i.e. NonStop) in 1976 on the market.

When did distributed computing really start?

Cheers ~ Francis

Sounds very interesting but 2 screens back to back will probably be a weak design resulting in alot of cracked screens.

I am curious what you are planning to do now that DabbleDB has been acquired by Twitter? Are you already using another database product?

Comment on VAIO X + iPad > MacBook Air by Anabolic

Sounds like a great approach. You should be able to access iDisk from the iPad. I can access it from the iPhone, which is great when I want to quickly check some documents, so I am pretty sure it would work on the iPad as well. Can’t wait to hear how this combination will be working out for you.

Thank you for the advice. I travel quite a bit also. Many times I pack more electronics than anything else.

I think simple is beautiful.

Indeed, one has to get a MacBook Air 11” in his hands and see these pictures to appreciate the value of the proposed design. It’s not directly intuitive. But when you see it, it feels right. Very natural. Very simple. Very streamlined.

Interesting. I just noticed that they tried some of that in the past. Here is a post on the history of the Apple Tablet. Now that I see your screenshots, there is something interesting about having both screens. It will be interesting to see how it pans out.

Apple has a patent on such a form factor, but it would be more bulky and cumbersome I believe. Simple is beautiful.

Interesting. What about allowing the screen to slide out instead of flipping. This way you could have a single screen.

Rup,

I think simple is beautiful.

A second screen keeps things very simple, with existing mechanics.

And it preserves the two form factors that people are used to: laptop and tablet.

It’s all about reducing the cognitive friction.

The new iPad will almost certainly have the same built-in gyroscope that the iPhone 4 has in addition to the accelerometer.
