Dell has released a multitouches tablet PC, Latitube XT2. It got multitouches zoom in and out functions which looks similar with iPhone. But it costs a lot of money. In Australia website, the price has not released yet. But in US, that is starting from USD$2399(around $3672 Aussie dollars). That is too much for myself.

I created an application by using C# Serialization/Deserialization. This application can allow you to enter your diary everyday. This is tiny and easy to use.

Note that, that is only a toy to practice C# for myself. We are not responsible for any kinds of damage.

Cloud computing is moving some of your local computer tasks into internet via webservices, such as office application and data storage. One of the classic examples, GoogleApp, there is a set of office applications which are similar with your MS Office. But they are running on their servers instead of running in your local computer.

Those servers are a huge processing tasks. None of single server can handle those kind of jobs. So, normally, cloud computing will run on a cloud platform. The clould platform is using grid computing, therefore, grouping a set of computers to form a cluster. Not many companies are providing this kind of service at this moment. As far as I know, Amazon has their EC2 which I hear the most of people are talking about, and from Rackspace, I have mentioned in my early blog post.

Generally, that is relative new concepts and it is still evolving

I installed a program for Podcasting in Ubuntu. It calls gPodder. That is very light weight and supporting multi-downloads. But the major weakness is you cannot categorize your Podcast subscriptions.
