Google Chrome OS and The Future of Cloud Computing
Coupled with the recent push into mobile with Android, Google is getting ready to shape the future of cloud computing with Chrome OS.
Cloud computing is simply the transition from physical personal hard drives to hosted cyber-space connectivity. The modern notebook will transform into the portable netbook. Chrome OS is setting the stage for the rise in netbooks as evidenced by Dell’s recent announcement regarding Chrome OS support
But because Chrome OS requires internet access to initiate the core operating system and all its applications, one would need to be connected to the internet. This problem presents a huge opportunity. I predict the next 10 years will see the biggest wave of Wifi implementation. Google recently announced pilot tests to grant 47 airports in the U.S. with free Wifi coverage.
Cloud computing means the world will have complete wireless connectivity. The game is going to change.
It will be interesting to see whether Google’s Chrome OS will propel cloud computing. Microsoft’s concept of an offline operating system would certainly have to change if cloud operating systems such as Chrome OS become popular.
As all things, time will tell and consumers will decide.
How to Activate Unlocked Phones on Bell Network
Bell customers have waited too long for a better network. The new Bell network is here, and yes you can buy unlocked phones, add a SIM card and use your unlocked phone with Bell.
However, you can’t use any unlocked phone with Bell. The unlocked phone must be 3G. Blackberry Bold is 3G. I just bought an unlocked Blackberry Bold recently and activated it on the new Bell network. Bell will simply charge you $5 for a SIM card and voila – your unlocked phone is activated!
