Fake logo of Microsoft Gazelle

As per wikipedia.org gazelle is

"Gazelle is a research web browser which Microsoft Research announced in early 2009. The central notion of the project is to apply operating system principles to browser construction. In particular, the browser has a secure kernel, modeled after an operating system kernel, and various web sources run as separate "principals" above that, similar to user-space processes in an operating system. The goal of doing this is to prevent bad code from one web source to affect the rendering or processing of code from other web sources. Browser plugins are also managed as principals"

On 19 February 2009, Microsoft research blog announced Multi-Principal OS Construction of Gazelle Web Browser. By making it’s own kernal and new architecture, Gazelle is more focusing on cloud computing applications and security. Microsoft says that Gazelle will not have any relation ( neither look and feel nor architecture ) with browsers present at this moment.

Security model

Gazelle security model is completely different from background (security model in existing browsers) browsers. They are using Unified SOP (same-origin policy) across all resources. Mixed HTTPS and HTTP Content secures you from threats made by <ifrme> HTTP contents embeded in HTTPS pages. Present browsers ignores this when user allow HTTP contents inside HTTPS pages.

I think Sub domain treatment of Gazelle can be an issue because, in this security model, Gazelle wont allow scripts in the sub domain to access document:domain property to suffixes of its domain and assumes that identity. So cross domain javascript XMLHTTP request issue will be more complicated. Any ways, concerned of backward compatibility, many sites are using one sign in option by creating cookies which auto logins sub domains also. This will be possible because they have added an exception for cookies

Architecture

Comparing MS Gazelle architecture with other browers

Different principals are placed into separate protection domains so that they are protected from one another. Just as in desktop applications where instances of an application are run in separate processes for failure containment, Gazelle run instances of principals in separate protection domains for the same purpose.(Almost similar to process in Chrome). But here, not just about tabs, but if a page is having embeded iframe pages from a different domain, that is managed as a different process. This will highly improve security.

Browser Kernel runs in a separate protection domain and interposes between browser principals and the traditional OS and mediates their access to system resources. Essentially, Browser Kernel functions as an operating system to browser principals and manages the protection and sharing of system resources for them.

The runtime of a principal instance is essentially an instance of today’s browser components including HTML and style sheet parser, JavaScript engine, layout renderer, and browser plugins. So there is less or more complication for developers to struggle as they do for other Microsoft products (Say IE ).

Simply, architecture of Gazelle is to run "everything as a separate process". Due to lack of time, I am not going deep in to specific features of Gazelle. You can read it here (pdf).

Conclusion

Even though Gazelle is expected to be exposed today, there are no clues about UI or alt east logo of the product. Microsoft has another blog post on Gazelle explaining how Gazelle is different from other existing browsers here. You may watch the live videos from Microsoft Partner network website.

Cloud Computing

Google Cloud Computing

When some one talk about internet and online, next word to it is Google. As Google has invested heavily in online storage and cloud computing, you should be watching them closely. Last day, Google made big changes on their cloud base by removing beta labels from their top SAAS cloud such as Gmail, Docs etc. Also the announcement of Google Chrome Operating System which is expected to be released on mid 2010 is probably gonna make a new buzz in the IT world. As for now, they are focusing on net books only. This will rush the migration to cloud computing by 200 times faster than present. Google went from a happy consumer of open source to an active contributor to open source on a very big scale. This is the fact which make developers a Google fan. New cloud OS will definitely increase Goog’s popularity in coming days.

Amazon Cloud Computing

When it comes to real enterprises cloud, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is the primary and reliable solution. Biggest buzz of 2009, Twitter is utilizing the EC2 to satisfy their millions of users without any interuption.EC2 allows scalable deployment of applications by providing a web services interface through which a customer can create virtual machines, i.e. server instances, on which the customer can load any software of their choice.

Microsoft Cloud

"Azure" is cloud PAAS being provided by the so called software giant. They offer private and public cloud solutions, which are highly virtual and managed in a consistent manner. They are dynamic and elastically scalable and strictly focused on the delivery of services to the user. "Gazelle" browser from Microsoft, which runs it’s own OS will make a new buzz in browser market share and this will open a new heaven in the cloud computing industry.

Grid Cloud

There was a time when cloud computing was talked by CTOs and tech people. Apple introduced a new infrastructure for cloud which they called grid.Grid computing has been used in environments where users make few but large allocation requests. But this is vise versa of normal cloud. Generally clouds computing is lots of small allocation requests. Oracle grid also is expected to make a buzz in upcoming days.

IBM Cloud

These are task specified cloud solutings.They are set to offer business processes as cloud services, virtual desktop as a service, which would allow businesses to deliver desktops virtually. They also provide solutions for business analysis and storage.

Sun Cloud

This is an on-demand Cloud computing service operated by Sun Microsystems .Through network.com, they provide access to a substantial computing resource over the Internet. It is based on open source technologies like Solaris 10, Sun Grid Engine and the Java platform.

VMware Cloud

When it comes to vitalization, VMware is the king. Most of tech people who are having hardware limitations might have already tried VMware server to run Linux on their windows PCs .VMware announced their OS in a browser service recently. vCloud, vStorage, vNetwork and vCenter are other popular cloud solutions provided by VMware.

Ubuntu Cloud

Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud are solutions provided by Canonical which utilizes Ubuntu Server Edition. They help organizations to build public and private clouds. Ubuntu help organizations to migrate to a cloud environment through consultancy, deployment services and support.

Security

The biggest threat of cloud culture is the security of user data. You have no idea about where your data is stored data centers are kept in what security. Recent Google Docs’s security issues will surely make people to think twice before they upload their files in to a cloud platform.

Free Cloud Computing

I came across cloud computing in early this year when I was preparing a presentation for rich internet application development tools. First I noticed G.ho.st , a free cloud solution from Ghost Inc founded by Zvi Schreiber which is developed in Openlaszlo. It awake my interest in cloud computing and then I found so many similar web based operating systems. Google apps announced their free account of Premier Edition. CTOs and tech people are eager to tryout demo versions of cloud solutions so that they can decide which solution is suitable for them. Zoho announced free accounts for their Project management 2.0 earlier this week.

Last two weeks were so fast and I did absolutely nothing productive. But I really enjoyed these days with my new friend and had a trip to Elephanta caves. You can see some photos on my Flickr. Few days ago, my server went down due to high process usage. So I increased wp-cache as per Shuja’s advice. But for last three days, I was playing with my iPhone, which got new OS3. I made live tweet on steps of installing and jail breaking iPhone OS3. OS3 is great with it’s speed and spotlight search. But I am not a big fan of copy paste. I would say, Don’t copy, Remix it! .

Here I am with two videos by Google’s Matt Cutts. He recently answered my two questions over webmaster video grand bag question series.

My first question was "Will DiggBar create duplicate content issues? For example: my site is www.example.com and now when you add digg.com before my site’s address (digg.com/example.com), it is showing a page from Digg.com with my content (exactly the same)"

My second question was " Is it good to put a ‘coming soon’ page for new domains? Google seems to prioritize new domains in SERPs. Will a ‘coming soon’ page stand as negative for it? "

I know most of you already seen those videos. I thank for those who vote for the question to promote. I am writing another post on microformats at the same time. I was supposed to post it today. But busy days didn’t allowed me to finish it. I will publish it next week. So don’t forget to follow me on twitter and subscribe to RSS feed. Reminding you that Google’s rich snippets in SERP is using data in microformats.

iPhone 3gs india

Phone

First thing I love on iPhone is Voice dialing. Now you can make call to your contacts or dial a number without touching the iPhone. But this feature can be added to your existing iPhone by installing Voice Dial (opens in iTunes) from app store for $1.99 or Fonix iSpeak.

iPod

I couldn’t find any changes in iPod application. Wish they boost the sound.

Safari

As iPhone gets faster twice, browsing will be a new experience. But that is not a reason to have upgrade.

Mail

Wide screen keyboard is my favorite addition in new iPhone.Wide email from app store for $0.99 does the same job. In addition, using this app, you can set short words for long text commonly used.

Video recording

One of so called missing feature in iPhone released till date. But if you have jail broken iPhone, get Cycoder from Cydia. You will get 6-15 fps video and record videos till your phone memory is filled while 3GS can record 30fps video up to 30 minutes at a time. But Cycoder video is good enough to upload on Youtube if you are looking for.

Photos

If you are a easily motivated Photographer, then you should buy iPhone 3GS. That 3 Megapixel auto focus camera will rock surely. Now you can sync photos with iTunes. More over, there is no separate app for Camera and photos anymore and you can Email, MMS, send to Mobile Me, assign to a contact and use the image as wallpaper from photos application.

Another good feature is, touch an object in the screen to focus on it!. Wow amazing isn’t it? But the click button is still a small icon. I would prefer Snapture from Cydia to take photos easily. Also, you still cant arrange your photos in folders. This is horrible when you are having ~2K photos in your iPhone. Most common PC will get hang when you open it to copy. I am using PicVault, which allows me to organize photos in folders and password protect them.

Voice Control

I’ve already discussed Voice Control for Phone above. Another feature is, you can control iPod too using voice over. That could be amazing feature when you sing a part of the song and Phone detects it and play it for you. But do you really want to spend $$$ for fun?

Messages

MMS is coming with iPhone OS3, which you can have on any iPhone soon. I am using iRealSMS which is having advanced options to forward and wide screen texting. And I really don’t rely on SMS Just make a call. That’s it!

Maps + Compass

3GS finds your location quickly and accurately via GPS, Wi-Fi, and cellular towers. I love these features and this will be the second reason for buying an iPhone 3GS for me. For the first time on a mobile phone, Apple added an electronic magnet which will work as a compass to know which way you are facing to. Seeing traffic and street view are features of Google maps and they will be available on all phones. More over, far way to see them in India.

Keyboard

I enjoy typing on iPhone than laptop keyboard. You really don’t have to type every letters. iPhone guess and auto-fills the words for you. 3DS comes with cut, copy and paste. Wait for some days, iPhone OS3 have all these features. If you cant wait for it, get CopierciN from Cydia.

Spotlight Search

A missing feature in iPhones today. It is with iPhone OS3. No need of 3GS again.

Voice Memos

Nice feature. But there are at least five apps in app stores to record. I am using HT recorder, which is pretty with nice UI. You can email, edit and bookmark your recordings. 3GS can send MMS also. Hope that will come with OS3.

Accessibility

iPhone 3GS have improved Accessibility features. Like voice over (speaks out what is there on screen), Zoom ( double tap with three fingers any time to zoom the screen area up to five times that normal screen. This will work for all apps. If you are having only one ear working, you can switch to sterio mix, where you will get left and right channel mixed on both buds.

Tethering

Share your iPhone’s 3G internet with PC or MAC. This feature will not be available in US and some other countries ( ). I prefer PDAnet for this. There is no limitation.

iPhone 3GS app list

Overall

For me, there are only two reasons to buy iPhone 3GS in India. The 3 megapixel camera and GPS map with compass. All other features are there or came be added to my iPhone itself. So guess what? I’m not buying iPhone 3GS. Would you like to buy?.. Hey Apple fan, tell me what you think via comments.

Just analyze why people are hating MS. And you will love it.

Microsoft monopoly

1. Software monopoly : Microsoft holds a monopoly position in Intel PC Operating Systems. Business users require to use MS Office in order to remain compatible with their business partners and customers. And internet users are now using Internet Explorer in a ratio of about 8:3 over alternative browsers. Can you really call this a monopoly? Microsoft never pressure you to use their products. They have got success in software development and people love to use them. Can you say Coca cola is having monopoly on soft drinks? Don’t be jealous.

2. Yes we agree that MS boomed IT industry in to this level. But they where not doing charity. They made fortune with it : If you are using MAC, you don’t have right to talk like this. Apple is not doing charity too. If you are Linux user, one simple fact. There are near 10K software engineers at Microsoft and suppose they all work to build OS. How many volunteers are there for OSS? shut your mouth and make an OS like Windows. Ohh you don’t like Windows, love Linux? then go for it. And never look in to Windows. There are people who love Windows.

3. Internet Explorer is a Crap : Really!!? MS released IE6 on 2001. It’s competitors were Netscape Navigator, Maxton, Opera 5. Have you ever checked your website on those browsers and compared with this eight years old technology ? you are comparing IE6 with young browsers like FF and Safari. MS is trying their best to push IE6 users to IE8. But they really can not pressure everyone because then next complaint will come.

Timeline of web browsers

4. Need to update hardware as we update software : If you cant afford cost for new hardware, don’t download the new software. Be happy with old ones.

5. We love Google, so hate it’s competitors : MS is not a search engine company. But they build a decision engine recently. Wait and see how long you will love Google.

Microsoft vs Google

The only monopoly that Microsoft has is the investment in skill, experience, training, and tools of Windows software developers themselves. The programmers, who have logged many long sessions of coding for the MS Windows environment, and with their deep immersion in its assumptions, tools, and API’s, represent millions of person-years of Microsoft assets.

It is difficult decision for a professional developer to choose an environment other than Windows (cost, usability) . The scale of that market dwarfs its competitors and opens to developers many more specialty markets than any alternative platform. Windows is perceived as a platform that will be with us for a long time to come (even though you really don’t want it).

Future?

The color of Windows is fading out day by day. Apple is becoming popular among developers. OSS is more social and reliable than past. But guys at Microsoft are not sleeping. Silverlight will become a thunder lighting. Adobe is thinking that it is competitor for their Flash. But really it is not. Google is exited to announce wave and they are all thrilled to it. Apple is playing with every year release of iPhone. Microsoft opened up in cloud with Azure Services Platform. But they are preparing another big cloud. I will post it soon.

Now tell me do you still hate MS! Or did I missed anything?. Follow me on twitter to get latest updates on Microsoft.

Must have iPhone apps

1. iReal SMS ( Cydia ) : Used to forward SMS. One of the iPhone missing feature was to forward SMS. For boys like me, it is mandatory to send joke SMS and so to friends when ever someone send me. That is a way of keep-in touch in this busy life. Now I can do it so easy.

2. Offline maps ( Cydia ) : Save map location in native map application so that we can access it offline on road. I used my old phone to understand where I am now. Yes that gsm’s cell info display was such a nice and simple way to navigate. But there is no cell info display option in iPhone. And I am not having data connection from cellular service provider. So getting way in Mumbai was a tough task while roaming in the weekends.

3. Fring : iPhone client of multi protocol instand messenger. Call your friends on gtalk and skype free from phone. Update twitted status. Chat with msn, yahoo and many more.

5. Mxtube ( Cydia ) : Download YouTube videos in iPhone. Does it need an explanation?

6. PicVault : Password protect photos in iPhone. Nice application to store your girlfriend’s photos . You can organize photos in multiple folders. Multiple folder feature is missing in native iPhone photos app.

7. Backgrounder ( Cydia ) : Allows to run multiple apps at a time. Usually, you can not run more that o e application at a time on iPhone except iPod. Using backgrounder, you can run and minimize applications without closing it. I am using it now while typing this post using Wordpress app, I am minimizing it and checking my home screen icons to decide which is next to write.

8. mAdvLock ( Cydia ) : It is so bad when some one theft your iPhone. You can protect your phone using this app. It will ask for password if new sim is inserted, and will send you SMS with new EMI and sim number so you can track your phone. More over, you can protect each and every app using a password. Must have app if phone is often checked by someone else.

9. iBluetooth ( Cydia ) : Transfer any file over Bluetooth with any device. No more restriction on sending your photos and music over Bluetooth.

10. Feeds : iPhone app for reading RSS feeds. Configurable with Goggle reader account. Sync in the morning, and you can read offline while traveling.

11. iBluesky : Sexy mind map creator app for iPhone. Export colorful mind map via email. Must have iPhone app if you use mindmaping.

12. Write now : White space where you can draw anything with your finger.

13. LogMeIn ignition : Remote access to your computer from iPhone. Using logmein service, you can control your computer desktop from iPhone.

14. RulerPhone : Another app to show off. You can measure height and width of any object using iPhone. Just take a snap of the object, draw line with your finger. It will show you the length. Also will tell you the distance between you and the object. Horrible isn’t it?

15. Files/ Flash drive : Both uses iPhone as a flash drive. Store your files and you can preview file in several formats.

16. Quick office : Microsoft Office like package for iphone. Word processor like rich text editor application with copy paste functionality. Powerful spreadsheet application almost similar to excel. Worth paying if you are a business person.

17. Analytics : Google analytics on iPhone.

18. Shazam : Finds the details of the song you are listening. If you like the song playing on a public speaker, and you want to get that song. Just keep your iPhone to the speaker, this app will find youtube link and other details for the song. You can tag song offline and get details when you get connection. Never miss the romantic single that you heard in the bus.

19. PocketGuitar ( Cydia ) : Guitar application for iPhone. Near six types of guitars available. Nice app for music lovers.

20. Air Mouse : Another app to show off. Use iPhone instead of mouse and keyboard. A wireless keyboard and mouse over wifi.

There are a lot of other applications and games I’m using. The latest Game I got is SIMS 3. Are you using other cool applications which I am not yet using? Tell me via comments. A list of iPhone games that I like is coming soon. Subscribe to RSS feed to know when I’m posting it. Also follow me on twitter to get instant information on iPhone apps and games.

Last time, when I posted Geek 3.0 validation image, it said, fall in love with a cat if you are an SEO. Because present king of SEO, Mr. Matt Cutts have an attraction towards people with cat. lol

For last two weeks I was at my home town, Irikkur and that is why I didn’t post anything here. But I was doing a kind of SEO. Didn’t get me? I got two sweet cats, Chinnu and Achu. Here they are. I have some nice picture of them on my Flickr and will have funny videos including Chinnu’s Yoga on YouTube soon.

Chinnu and Achu

Follow me on twitter to know when I post those videos. And more over, I have prepared a list of must have iPhone applications for a geek. I will publish it once it is fine tuned. Don’t forget to subscribe to my RSS feed if you wanna grab them first.

Was this post a bit baring? I think so.. no I dont. This is cool. Now tell me your opinion through comments

Cloud Computing tags

Definition of Cloud Computing as per US Federal

Cloud computing is a pay-per-use model for enabling available, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. This cloud model promotes availability and is comprised of five key characteristics, three delivery models, and four deployment models.

Five key characteristics

On-demand self-service – A consumer can unilaterally provision computing capabilities, such as server time and network storage, as needed without requiring human interaction with each service’s provider.

Ubiquitous network access – This is the best part I like the cloud. You have access to your data through different devices. You don’t have to carry even your laptop when you have access via mobile device. Capabilities are available over the network and accessed through standard mechanisms that promote use by heterogeneous thin or thick client platforms (e.g., mobile phones, laptops, and PDAs).

Location independent resource pooling – This is raised as a security issue by most big corporate. You really don’t know where your data is. The provider’s computing resources are pooled to serve all consumers using a multi-tenant model, with different physical and virtual resources dynamically assigned and reassigned according to consumer demand. The customer generally has no control or knowledge over the exact location of the provided resources. Examples of resources include storage, processing, memory, network bandwidth, and virtual machines.

Rapid elasticity – One of the best advantage of cloud computing for fast growing fast and medium business. You can expand your capacities as per your requirement with no time. Capabilities can be rapidly and elastically provisioned to quickly scale up and rapidly released to quickly scale down. To the consumer, the capabilities available for rent often appear to be infinite and can be purchased in any quantity at any time.

Pay per use – Many of big companies suffer from the so called financial crisis and lie offs been daily news.The companies having big infrastructure affected more than small business. The reason is, even though the production become less this time, the running coast didn’t lower accordingly. But in Cloud computing, you need to pay as per your usage of resources. So, when you are having low production requirements, your resource usage also will be less which will lead to low running coast. Capabilities are charged using a metered, fee-for-service, or advertising based billing model to promote optimization of resource use. Examples are measuring the storage, bandwidth, and computing resources consumed and charging for the number of active user accounts per month. Clouds within an organization accrue cost between business units and may or may not use actual currency.

Delivery Models

There are mainly three types of delivery models. Most common delivery model is Cloud Software as a Service (SaaS) which is simple, yet powerful and widely available already. Cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS) is growing rapidly and open source platform are already providing PaaS for you.

Cloud Software as a Service (SaaS) – The capability provided to the consumer is to use the provider’s applications running on a cloud infrastructure and accessible from various client devices through a thin client interface such as a Web browser (e.g., web-based email). The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure, network, servers, operating systems, storage, or even individual application capabilities, with the possible exception of limited user-specific application configuration settings. Independent Gmail, Google Docs etc are widely used SaaS.

Cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS) – The capability provided to the consumer is to deploy onto the cloud infrastructure consumer-created applications using programming languages and tools supported by the provider (e.g., java, python, .Net). The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure, network, servers, operating systems, or storage, but the consumer has control over the deployed applications and possibly application hosting environment configurations.

A week ago, I came across open source cloud platform, EyeOS. You can have a look over it on cloud.htmlremix.com . You can develop your own application for this cloud os. Open source developers are having a good future on this product service.

Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) – The capability provided to the consumer is to rent processing, storage, networks, and other fundamental computing resources where the consumer is able to deploy and run arbitrary software, which can include operating systems and applications. The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure but has control over operating systems, storage, deployed applications, and possibly select networking components (e.g., firewalls, load balancers).

Deployment Models

Private cloud – The cloud infrastructure is owned or leased by a single organization and is operated solely for that organization. Most of Medium to Big companies are already using this as for full or partial production management. Microsoft Exchange is a common example for communication cloud.

Community cloud – The cloud infrastructure is shared by several organizations and supports a specific community that has shared concerns (e.g., mission, security requirements, policy, and compliance considerations).

Public cloud – The cloud infrastructure is owned by an organization selling cloud services to the general public or to a large industry group. Most of the cloud service providers are coming under this model where they provide cloud as their product or service.

Hybrid cloud – The cloud infrastructure is a composition of two or more clouds (internal, community, or public) that remain unique entities but are bound together by standardized or proprietary technology that enables data and application portability (e.g., cloud bursting).

Geek 1.o and 2.o

But when I checked it, most of them are out dated and so what? I decided to do a Geek 3.0. This is what I did.

geek 3.0

Small explanation

You can not avoid Google now a days. So Geek has got Google’s G. There was a time long facial hair and untidy cloths where symbol of Geek, now all are trendy clean shaved with straightened hair. No more pen and paper. Do not carry a laptop or at least a flash drive. Take out your iPhone, rub it to all directions. Ask others to check your blog for solutions. Tweet something when you are free.

The idea of cloud computing was born in my mind from last week when I came across Openlaszlo, an Adobe Flex like developer application. While checking the samples, I turned to Ghost, a virtual operating system where you can do almost everything that you do on a Netbook.

Cloud computing -Simple

What is Cloud computing?

Simply, cloud computing is "everything online". A style of computing, in which dynamically scalable and virtualized resources are provided as a service. I think it is better to put some examples than trying to find a definition. Google apps is a type of cloud computing. That is, they are providing some critical solutions which an organization requires. Email, Messenger communication, Documents, Spreadsheets and sites are freely available services from Google. In past (at present also) companies were using dedicated server for providing email and internal communications between employers. But using cloud computing (Google apps for email) the company can provide email with lowest cost possible.

In another way, everything is a service from a BIG service provider. Like hardware is provided as a service, software is provided as service. No or less technical knowledge is required as end user is not directly handling any hardware.

Google Cloud apps

Why cloud computing?

There is thousands of reason why you should think cloud. Here I am listing few of them.

Initial cost – Companies spend millions to set up server and buy software for kick starting their business. But if you are selecting cloud computing, you don’t have to buy a separate server and all to run. Your data are safe in Datacenters of your service provider.

More accessible – Most of app service providers allow access to your data from different devices like mobile phones and other handheld gadgets. Booming of Netbooks is another noticeable point here.

Not dependent on your machine – As everything is running online, there is no need of gigabytes of hard disc space and processor speed. You can even run all your applications on a Netbook.

Ability to scale to meet quickly changing user demands – You don’t have to buy new hardware or such stuff to scale your data storage as the company grows. You just need to upgrade your service.

cost (again) – There is no fixed rental or cost. Most of the service provider charge as per usage only. So if a month, you are doing less business, your running cost also will be low.

Security – Doesn’t matter even your entire office victim a sever attack or got in to natural calamities. Your data are safe on Datacenters in various part of the earth.

Cloud computing devices

Why not today?

Dependent on internet connection – Internet connectivity is not completely reliable in anywhere as for now. But broadband booming and new 3G cellular network will surely be fuel. However, online app developers are aware that users can’t be online all the time, which is why some of them have developed ways to make their programs usable even offline (such as GoogleGears ).

The service terms and conditions – Many of Big companies are not thinking big to change to Cloud computing because of thoughtful TOC which service providers are taking across. Most of them do not provide a backup guarantee and they can terminate your account whenever they see unfit.

Security – It is a fact that Cloud computing is growing fast. Even Big Media companies like MTV have already adapted cloud as their business solution. But corporate giants are still afraid of their secret data and security. As you don’t know where your data really is, it opens a big security concern of losing them all at a time.

Cloud computing in India

Coming soon - Cloud war

This is the best part I am looking forward. BSNL’s broadband booming since last few years will definitely help India to grow. Even though 3G networks are still now available, soon Vodafone and Bharathi Airtel are expected to start their service. India as a technical hub for almost all big IT companies, cloud will make another boom in India within years.
