What is Cloud Computing / Cloud Computing?

Cloud computing or cloud computing is the definition for grid computing technologies (grid computing) that are used in the mid to late 1990's. Jargon cloud computing began to emerge at the end of 2007, is used to move a service used daily to the Internet, not stored on the local computer again.
Email is available in the form of web mail is a very small example of cloud computing technology. By using email services like Gmail and Yahoo Mail, people no longer need to use Outlook or other desktop applications to their email. Reading email with browsers enabling done anywhere along the existing Internet connection.
In 2007, other services including word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations have been moved into the computing cloud. Google provides word processing, spreadsheet and presentation applications in the cloud computing environment and integrates with Gmail and Google Calendar, providing office environment on the web (or in the cloud). Microsoft and other companies are also experimenting with transferring programs into the clouds to make it more affordable and more accessible to the user's computer and the Internet. Software as a service (Microsoft's term for cloud computing) is a very new stuff for most people at Microsoft.
Cloud computing is currently very popular, apart from major players like Microsoft and Google's software, other companies popping up just to provide cloud-based services as a substitute or refinement applications on PCs today. Some of these companies was Zoho.com, an online office suite, Evernote.com, is a site devoted to online records, and RememberTheMilk.com, online task management.
Computing technology and new programming techniques or changing rapidly developing technique, the goal of cloud computing will make the technology seem to be very easy in the eyes of users and make it as simple as possible. Very rapid development of Internet-based current with the booming blogging and microblogging and social networking service that aims to find new ways to help individuals and businesses to be able to communicate with one another in the cloud computing arena

What is Augmented Reality?

Augmented Reality (AR) refers to computer research that aims to produce information systems that combine real-world information with digital information. Augmented Reality is still in the early phase of development, yet many futurists and researchers hope that can be applied in 2010's or 2020's.
The main goal of the Augmented Reality system will manifest themselves as a lens or retinal projector that will provide relevant information display, mapped into the surrounding environment in realtime. For example, when he saw a restaurant with Augmented Reality glasses, then one automatically call directly to the database review, or a menu from the restaurant website. A scientist who works at a pharmaceutical company could use the glasses to view 3D models of various molecules and use it to visualize a better drug. Children may use AR glasses of networks connected to real life playing a video game that allows the firing "laser" from them. Although the possibility is rather limited.
Augmented Reality depends on the progress of miniaturization technologies and mobile computing (mobile computing). Currently, an effective projection system technology and small and fast computers are still not cooked enough to really make an effective Augmented Reality interfaces, even though we were getting closer to perfection with the research carried out continuously by the experts. Prototype has been made for decades, but the main product that really worth not yet exist. One promising technology is the projection of the retina - a low-powered laser projection images directly onto the retina, so that glasses are not used anymore. Commercial retinal projection system actually exists, but the resolution and color palette is still very low.
Augmented Reality is in fact already exist in rudimentary form. For example, sports commentators often use the light pen to "draw" on the soccer field to provide a visual aid to fellow commentators. Another example is the image ads that often appear in the field of badminton when it aired on TV, as if this ad image attached to the field. Image ads sponsorship continues to alternate during the game. This shows proof of the concept of AR though still limited, of course.
