It's possible that we're losing those skills ... to social networking!   I mean, it's tough enough to find people comfortable with carrying on a general conversation without providing the option to hide those personal interactions behind a computer screen or mobile smart phone.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=integration.i3bus.com&blog=1273938&post=758&subd=i3bus&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We will all eventually adopt cloud computing, simply because the current model of scaling servers up and down is very expensive. IT departments try to buy as many servers as they think they’ll need for computing power during estimated peak capacity. But we don’t need that capacity most of the time-- so lots of servers sit idle.

Cloud computing can reduce costs, becauses it provides more capacity during the peak times, so we simply pay for it on-demand. When the peaks are over and less capacity is needed, the cost then goes down. From a business perspective, this allows a company to move much of its infrastructure costs from being a capital expenditure (CAPEX) to an operating expenditure (OPEX).<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=integration.i3bus.com&blog=1273938&post=595&subd=i3bus&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
