Cloud services dissolve in my work and life

It was not long ago that I had no idea that I would have so many kinds of mobile terminals that could be used flexibly and differently. Look, they're all on the table, on the ipad, the ipod that accompanies me to sleep, the iphone that doesn't come with me sometimes can't connect, the Asus Eee Pad TF101 that is no longer a rarity, and the boss of the ebook, Amazon's Kindle and Kindle. Touch, as well as the previous Kobo touch and so on.

Among them, in addition to Kobo touch, the other is the use of online storage and Gmail and other cloud services to achieve synchronous connection. Of course, there are laptops and desktops, and one of them. Without cloud services, these terminals must be fragmented and unusable. It can be seen that the communication of multiple devices is popular, and the development of cloud services is closely related.

Storage online makes it possible to use multiple device communications

In this situation, the online storage market appears to be booming. Since Google joined the online storage market by May this year, rivals such as the US Dropbox and Microsoft have also been shot. For example, strengthen the use of functions, to achieve client expansion, storage capacity, cost changes, etc., it can be said that every month, a company introduced new.

More recently, its features have been markedly enhanced, with Apple's ICloud Web version (icloud.com), the iphone and ipad synchronized with added memos and hints. These features are especially useful. And this mail added a VIP mailbox (screen 1). This folder can be divided into two pieces from the VIP file. This is a new feature added to the listing of iOS 6.

Backup with online storage is a precaution. For example, even if a terminal fails, you can easily restore the original file by simply logging on to the other terminal's professional client software. In addition, as Dropbox supports revision history, it can be recovered from any synchronization computer even if the file is deleted.

Chromebook, like a tablet computer,

I remember Chromebook may not be many, but for me it is just like a tablet to let people down. Chromebook, is the June 2011 South Korean Samsung and Taiwan Acer Acer Group Acer listed in the United States Network notebook.

The machine is equipped with the chrome operating system, Chromebook only need 8 seconds to boot, and can be instantaneous from hibernation to resume normal operation to solve the traditional laptop boot time too long problem. The notebook also supports flash memory.

But the difference between this computer and other terminals is that it relies entirely on the network's operating system, which can only use web apps on Google browser Chrome. Login to start the system is to login to Google electronic account, if not online can not start the basic. However, even if the hard drive fails, you can log on to another Chromebook to continue working.

The long-awaited Japanese listing still failed to wait. During this period, the ipad and other tablet computers, the notebook computer market increasingly to high-performance low-cost ultra light ultra-thin development, Chromebook has gradually become a forgotten corner. May 2012, Samsung's new product Chromebook 550 in the United States, once held a glimmer of hope to be released in Japan, but still no news.

It seems that the development of Linux based open source OS Chrome OS is progressing well. It used to be the screen of chrome web browsers, and now the user interface is closer to the Windows desktop. Multi-window allows multiple pages to be displayed at the same time, plus wallpaper. Not only can you implement offline caching for HTML5 specifications, but you can also use the Google high-capacity online storage Google Drive.

This is visible from the Chrome OS Open source version of Chromium OS. This work is a heavy burden for the average user. Fortunately, a website called Vanilla Nightly builds will distribute VirtualBox, Flash, and other up-to-date files that have been edited every day. Download the image files from here (around 2Gbit), with free software image Writer for Windows injection Flash, you can start the USB system. Actually uses Acer first generation network notebook computer Aspire One (AOA150-BW) to carry on the operation, the result discovers, the network digital camera effect is quite good.

In the final analysis, Chromebook's way of survival is to be a safe terminal which can prevent the enterprise's inner end users from arbitrary and easy management. From this point of view, it has the same place as the thin client. The market value of online storage and cloud group software is increasing because of advances in technology that enable users to distinguish between different terminals at will. However, in the present situation, even if Chromebook become Byod object is not difficult to understand.

Social Networking Media Attraction

The advent of smartphones and tablet terminals has accelerated the spread of social media. News about social networks can be seen almost every day. For example, June 6, 2012 Japan Newsweek published an article called "Facebook, you're too black-hearted," pointing out that you shouldn't trample on others ' privacy.

The author is basically not very cold to social network media. While Facebook and LinkedIn have been used for some time, LinkedIn is a social networking (SNS) Service site for business customers. The purpose of the website is to allow registered users to maintain their knowledge and trust in business contacts, the purpose of which is to allow registered users to maintain the contacts they know and trust in Business contacts, commonly known as "Contacts" (50x15). Users can invite people he knows to become "relationships" (50x15). The number of users has now reached 175 million, with an average of one new member added every second. And the number of users in the U.S. has fallen to just 38%, but it's unclear where the fun is. It is a truly ideal tool for those who are eager to sell themselves or who are doing business through these websites. In addition to most of these people, it is dangerous and extremely despicable for the author to disagree with the way in which he is amused by exposing himself, his family and friends.

But I think Twitter is different. Say it is social media, it is more than information network media. In particular, since the Tokyo Electric power Fudao Nuclear accident in 2011, Twitter has become an important base for sending information. Of course, the spread of rumors has occurred. However, many rumors have been terminated because many people are reading and making corrections. For the writer, smartphones are almost the end of Twitter, and it's also a relatively free broadcast that Radiko (Radiko is the Japanese Internet Broadcasting Service website that offers wireless TV receiver services and no restrictions on reception areas).
