The latest release of Apple's iOS, version 5, includes a new free service called iCloud. As the name suggest the service utilizes so called "Cloud Hosting" technology to allow users to store and sync the iOS devices.
According to the Apple website, iCloud requires iOS 5 on iPhone 3GS or later, iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPad, or iPad 2; a Mac computer with OS X Lion; or a PC with Windows Vista or Windows 7 (Outlook 2007 or 2010 or an up-to-date browser is required for accessing email, contacts, and calendars). Some features require a Wi-Fi connection. Some features are not available in all countries. Access to some services is limited to 10 devices.
iCloud is the successor to MobileMe. It utilizes a cloud storage and cloud computing service. Originally announced by Apple Inc. on June 6, 2011 at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). The service allows users to store data such as music files on remote computer servers for download to multiple iOS devices such as iPhones, iPods, iPads, and personal computers running Mac OS X or Microsoft Windows. It also replaces Apple's MobileMe program, acting as a data syncing center for email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, notes, to-do lists, and other data.
iCloud Features
Each iCloud account includes 5 GB of free storage. Music, apps, and books purchased from iTunes, will not reduce this free space. Music files purchased will be automatically downloaded to any iOS devices. When a Apple account holder registers a new device, all iTunes content can be automatically downloaded.
Photo Stream
Photo Stream is one of the coolest services bundled with the basic iCloud service. It allows users to store the most recent 1,000 photos on the iCloud servers up to 30 days for free. When a photo is taken on a device with Photo Stream enabled, it is automatically uploaded to the iCloud servers. From there, it is automatically pushed to the rest of the user's registered devices.
When I first used the new WordPress 3.2 I was struck by the contrast between the new and previous version user interface design. WordPress developers have created a stunningly faster and lighter version of the already innovative WordPress blogging software.
Looking back just a few years, I now see a huge evolutionary leap forward with the latest WordPress release. Drupal was my first experience with blogging software. After using Drupal for some months I got fed up with the backwards nature of the user interface. Drupal seemed very well throughout from a programer php/mysql database point of view, but from the end users point of view it was very confusing and overly complicated.
After Drupal. I found Joomla. Joomla enabled users with very limited experience to build elaborate websites. With the evolution of Joomla users got better integrated features and more practical extension development.
Like Drupal, Joomla seemed overly complicated sometimes when it came to content. Content could only be organized into section/categories. While section/categories seemed logical as a API development point of view it failed to provide the simple method of dealing with taxonomy.
My first experience with WordPress was the 1.0 version. I liked the simplicity of the user interface, and the fact that it could be extended rather easily. I had grown tired of the maintenance of over 100 Joomla Websites. This is why I was looking at WordPress. The Joomla CMS was great for elaborate websites, but it proved to large and unwieldy to manage. Add to that a complicated upgrade process, and having more than a hundred Joomla sites became a nightmare to keep secure.
WordPress offered one click upgrades, and easy organization of content. Creating content was also simplified with a great built-in WYSIWYG. More importantly WordPress was proving to be a formidable tool for SEO experts. WordPress blogs yielded more traffic and better ranking for competitive keywords.
Faster release cycle than 3.1 — More focused release.
The theme is “faster, lighter.” Dropped support for outdated technologies.
List Tables API improvements – API for third party use and more flexibility.
List Table XHR loading — To be investigated only after List Table API has stabilized.
PHP 5.2 (5.2.4, specifically) to be required.
MySQL 5 to be required.
Distraction Free Writing (My Favorite Concept!!!). This is the headline “ooh, shiny” user feature. Replaced old fullscreen interface implementation with something more beautiful, more useful (in terms of line-length and font size), and simpler (only limited RTE functionality). Developers looked at WriteRoom, OmmWriter and others for inspiration. Koop is investigating this, and may crank out a quick plugin to jump-start development efforts
Upgrade improvements. Changed-files-only upgrades can be done with zero changes to core. For the first effort, let’s just do updates to the latest point-point from within the same major version. So, 3.2 to 3.2.2 and 3.2.1 to 3.2.2. Optionally consider scanning for changed core files and offering them a full upgrade to overwrite those changed files. Skip the wp-contents directory when upgrading (no more upgrading the default theme or bundled plugins).
Speed improvements. There are a bunch of little things the devs did do to make WordPress load or at least “feel” faster. They also made the dashboard faster by not doing async requests for panes if the cache is hot. Finally the devs made some FTP improvements that should make upgrades a lot faster for people using a certain FTP server.
Google is looking to jump into the social networking game and compete directly with Facebook. This would be Google's 3rd try. The previous attempts included the Google Wave, a communication and online collaboration platform rolled into one package, and Google Buzz, a twitter like service that allowed sharing of videos, photos, and updates.
Google+ focuses on clean interface, and unique social interactions and connections. The simple and elegant interface was created by a former Apple designer. Google+ builds off the Google service called Profiles. Google Proilces is similar to a Facebook profile. Google+ adds in all of the social features like friending, posting, and liking that you find on Facebook with the ability to follow people like you can on Twitter.
Circles is the Google+ way of creating groups of friends that you can selectively share content with and control how they can connect back to you. Hangouts is a quick way to set up a video conference with up to 10 people while Sparks is an integration of Google’s email alerts honed down to its essence: letting you know about stuff you are interested in.
