Cloud computing is a natural evolution of the widespread use of autonomic, utility computing, service-oriented architecture, and virtualisation. The point behind cloud hosting is that details are taken from end-users who no longer require control over the technology infrastructure in the Internet that supports them. The term “cloud” is basically a metaphor for the Internet. How did a cloud become associated with the Internet I hear you ask? Well basically, in the past, a cloud drawing was employed to represent the telephone network and so naturally when the Internet came about, the cloud was employed to represent the Internet in computer network diagrams. One can trace the underlying concept of cloud hosting to John McCarthy who asserted as early as the 1960s that “computation may someday be organised as a public utility”. The modern day aspects of cloud computing, such as its illusion of infinite supply, its elastic provision…etc, were all present in Douglas Parkill’s seminal book, ‘The Challenge of the Computer Utility’ which he published in 1966. The exact origins of cloud computing have been disputed by scholars, some arguing that its roots can be traced in the work of the scientist Herb Grosch in the 1950s. Grosch speculated that the whole world would function on dumb terminals that were powered by approximately fifteen large data centres.

I don't pay too much attention to celebrity news, and every time I see any bit of celebrity news I know exactly why. Apparently, the wife of Ryan Giggs' brother who had an eight-year affair with him, then went into Celebrity Big Brother and flirted around, all the while wanting to get back with her husband, is having a twitter war with Imogen Thomas, the model ex-Big Brother star who also had an affair with Ryan Giggs. So they both had an affair with him and now they're having a bitchy twitter war over who was less scummy for it. It's a joke! In my opinion Natasha is worse because she was married herself, and she was cheating on her husband with her brother, who was also married with kids! But the worst of all is Ryan Giggs himself! These girls need to shut up and get on adizar.co.uk to find themselves a job, because this wannabe celebrity nonsense won't last! Photo: Beacon Radio (Flickr)

The BBC reported this week that unemployment in the UK rose by 118,000 in the three months running up until November, bringing the total unemployment figure to 2.69 million, according to official figures. The government surely have to do something about this, I'm one of the unemployed and desperately job-searching, but the government need to help to create jobs. The Olympics are coming to London this year and they've provided some jobs, even if they are short term, but I keep coming across vacancies that are unpaid. It's ridiculous, surely the Olympics should benefit those of us who live in London and the UK, it should be for more than just those who can run or are good with a bow and arrow, it should benefit all of us. It absolutely should not be another unpaid work experience opportunity, companies are already making the most of those! Photo: amandabhslater (Flickr)

One of the most important insurance policies we can find is life insurance cover, but they are also very confusing, and so i found an article explaining some of the complexities at Money Beagle. This highlights just how important a life insurance policy can be to the financial wellbeing of your loved ones, and how knowing this can provide you with peace of mind when planning for your families future. The article also goes some way to explaining the complexities of the various types of life insurance benefit, such as unemployment protection and term life insurance. However, it also highlights that you should be careful when buying insurance policies, to ensure that you pay the right amount, and get coverage which addresses your life insurance needs. One of the biggest dangers when buying life insurance policies making sure you don’t get ripped off. For that reason you should get as many life insurance quotes as possible, and compare the benefits with the life insurance rates. You should also make sure that you update you policy whenever you have a major life change- such as getting married, having kids, or buying a home.

It was not long after the Manson ‘Family’ committed all their atrocities that they were caught. Manson himself was found cowering in a cabinet beneath a bathroom sink in the Barker ranch. The truth all came out from Susan Atkins who had been apprehended for the Hinman murder and had told her bunk mates in prison, Ronnie Howard and Virginia Graham, about the other murders. The trial commenced on June 15th 1970, the main witness being Kasabian who was granted immunity in exchange for a testimony concerning the crimes. The Manson Family performed ridiculous acts whilst in court, Manson carving an X on his forehead after not being allowed to represent himself as an attorney. Manson stated that he was “considered inadequate and incompetent to speak or defend himself” and so had “X’d himself from the establishment’s world”. The other Manson members copied this. The prosecution blamed the murders on Manson’s wish to trigger “Helter Skelter”, attested to by Kasabian who told the court that Manson had wanted to plant Rosemary’s wallet in a black neighbourhood. What a mad man! I’m surprised he didn’t want to plant the victims damenuhrens too!
