i-Phone GPS App Crowd sources Traffic Conditions

i-Phone GPS App Crowd sources Traffic Conditions:

Have you ever been running late to an important business meeting or client presentation only to find yourself stuck in a two-mile traffic jam due to an accident on the highway, or having to reroute around a flooded road? Of course you have. Checking traffic conditions ahead of time can be helpful, but it's even better if you can get real-time updates from those in the best position to know the current conditions--other drivers.

Television and radio news outlets do their best to keep drivers informed of current traffic conditions, but there are only so many "eye in the sky" traffic copters. The truth is, much of the traffic reporting information that these news outlets have comes from actual drivers on the road calling in to report conditions as it is. Why not cut out the middle-man and just share traffic news with each other?

Waze has launched a voice-based hazard reporting feature for its iPhone GPS app. Combining GPS navigation with crowdsourced real-time traffic updates can help iPhone users stay aware of adverse road conditions, avoid delays, and get to their destinations safely and on time.

A press release from Waze explains, "The new feature set allows users to report a wide range of road hazards, weather conditions, and potentially dangerous obstacles with minimal interaction with the app. Once a hazard is spotted, users can record a brief voice-description and share it with others in their area," adding, "Those en route towards the hazard will be warned by their fellow wazer's voice-alert beforehand and be potentially rerouted to avoid any danger. In this manner, waze encourages drivers to "pay it forward" and help others stay alert to road conditions."

"Everyday, drivers are faced with any number of dangers on the road including ice, accidents, and flooding for example. The unpredictable nature of these hazards and lack of immediate road data leaves drivers vulnerable to the conditions ahead," said Noam Bardin, CEO of waze. "The only way this information can be collected and distributed in real-time is by the initiative of group-minded individuals and a means to warn their fellow drivers."

For now, the crowdsourced traffic alerts are available only for the iPhone version of the Waze app, but the Waze press release claims that updates are being developed for the Android, BlackBerry, Symbian, and Windows Mobile versions of the app as well.

There are a lot of frivolous apps and silly uses for the iPhone. But, with tools like this one thathave a practical application for daily life and can help people live more productive, efficient lives, the smartphone becomes an invaluable tool.

Facebook to open sales office in Hong Kong..

Facebook to open sales office in Hong Kong

Facebook, the world's largest social-networking site, will open a sales office in Hong Kong, in a move to tap the region's booming Internet scene, local media reported on Wednesday.

The Hong Kong office will service brands, companies and agencies in Hong Kong and Taiwan that want to advertise or launch marketing campaigns on its website, the company said in a statement posted on Asia Media Journal's.

Facebook has been banned in China, the world's largest Internet market at over 450 million users, since 2009 and since then many Facebook-clones have sprung up to fill the void.

Facebook opened offices in Singapore and India last year and has been looking for ways to expand into Asia, home to millions of young, savvy Internet users.

Hong Kong's South China Morning Post reported that Jayne Leung, a former Google executive, will head Facebook's North Asia operations.

Facebook's Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg toured China last December, visiting the heads of numerous Chinese Internet firms including Baidu Inc, Sina Corp and Alibaba Group.

Grid Computing VS Cloud Computing

Most of the people think Grid Computing and Cloud computing are same, but they are totally different. Both grid and cloud computing are networks which abstract processing tasks. Abstraction masks the actual complex processes taking place within a system, and presents a user with a simplified interface with which they can interact easily. The idea is to be able to make the system more user-friendly.

What is cloud computing?

In simple Cloud computing is sharing of resources by many users, for example imagine a company which had been formed recently with physical infrastructure such as buildings and computers, they cant spend further money on software. Thus they come towards cloud where they have to pay only for the resources which they are using, it helps them to save money.

What is grid computing?

Grid in other hand is a combination of resources from different domains. They are the true Distributed Systems, a supercomputer is a good example of a Grid computation where it follows a path to get the required resources unlike the cloud. What this means is that your grid-enabled application is not tied to the computer on your desk, it can seamlessly use more than one computer and other resources even beyond the walls of your building to boost its performance.

Real Difference between Grid and Cloud?

So what’s making cloud so special when compared to Grid, the answer is simple. When an application fails in one node, the other application on the other node may also fail, thus bringing the problem of availability in Grid. A Cloud would usually use a grid. A grid is not necessarily a cloud or part of a cloud. Thus they are two different identity with nearly common goals.
