The BIT Newsletter June  2014 Edition Benefits for Business of a Hosted Desktop in the Cloud Cloud computing has opened up a number of opportunities for making working life easier, developing businesses at reduced cost, or just cutting costs generally. Chief among these is the hosted desktop using secure servers in the cloud. Across the globe, a variety of business owners are taking advantage of the cloud in this way. If you are among them, or decide to join them, you'll find you get a number of benefits. More Accurate Cash Flow Forecasting  Rarely would a business be operating without an internet-enabled device, which you need for your desktop to be hosted. Rental packages for a hosted desktop come in different forms and you can shop around to find what's best for your organization. After the initial one-off set up cost to incorporate your current data onto the remote connection software, you might prefer to pay annually, quarterly or monthly. Whichever you select, you'll know what you have to pay and when it will be due.   Host companies realize that their fee packages must remain flexible enough to add new software and user devices as required, so extras will be negotiable. There will not be any costly surprises for the duration of the initial contract and beyond. Money Saved on Hardware and Technical Support With a hosted desktop service, you save money by not having to invest in new hardware just to support software updates or gain more space for it. The provider will automatically upgrade everything, incorporating an end user license fee in the service charge. You won't have to employ as much technical support because this will be part of the service. If you have an IT department, it can be streamlined to work on data quality, research and development, training, or other core business needs. Your payroll bill could drop significantly. Working on the Move Relying on a hosted service means that you can have access to your software and business data anywhere. Everyone in the organization can work and communicate at home and out and about, just as if they were sitting at a desk on site. With mobile devices, either staff or company owned, which are networked into the hosted desktop, collaboration from anywhere is a simple matter. When you set up in a new location, once you have the hardware, you will be good to go straight away with a seamless and unobtrusive move. Boosted Staff Morale  When your personnel can use mobile devices for work as well as PCs at their desks, it's easy to allow them more flexible working conditions. This usually makes for a happier and more productive team, with benefits all round.  Automatic Security and Disaster Recovery With everything hosted and automatically backed up in secure, compliant data centers that are manned day and night by IT experts, you need have no security worries. Service suppliers will have made the investment in the latest developments in cyber security.  You can also be assured that your data will be safe if your premises are hit by fire, storm or other emergency. Hopefully, that will never happen, but if it did, it would be a great relief to have that worry lifted at a time when you'd have a lot more on your mind.  There are, of course, other ways to facilitate mobile working, but none bring such comprehensive advantages as the hosted desktop. It is difficult to find arguments against using a virtual desktop service from a recommended and reputable supplier.

Corporate Cloud Computing: Is it Worth the Money and the Risks?

Most people use cloud computing in different ways, but rarely give it much thought. On smartphones they listen to music that is stored "in the cloud," and on tablets they read books and magazines that are also stored there. If they use Gmail or Hotmail, they're using a cloud-based email system. One reason most users give the cloud so little thought is that these cloud services work well and are free of charge.

Most business users, however, give the cloud serious thought because they use it for professional purposes, and, crucially, they pay a lot to do so. Companies use cloud computing for three principal purposes: data storage, security backup and disaster recovery, and online applications. Let's examine each, and then look at the risks.

iOS 7.1 Brings Changes to Siri, CarPlay Support, iBeacon Improvements, Apple TV Upgrade By Jim Karpen One of the big changes with the arrival of iOS 7 is the way Siri works. In the past, you'd hold the Home button, wait until Siri responded with "What can I help you with?", release the button, and then speak. Siri would automatically detect when you stopped speaking, and respond. The problem was that sometimes Siri would respond because you'd made a slight inadvertent pause in your speech, even though you weren't done talking. Now with iOS 7, you hold have the option of manually letting Siri know when you're done talking by holding down the Home button while you talk. Siri keeps listening until you release the button. In addition, Siri also has new, more natural-sounding male and female voices for Mandarin Chinese, UK English, Australian English, and Japanese. READ MORE » Apple's New CarPlay To Be Available for Some Older-Model Vehicles By Jim Karpen With the launch of Apple's new CarPlay last week at the automobile trade show in Geneva, many were left wondering if you had to buy a new Ferrari or Mercedes or Volvo in order to get it. Apparently, the answer is no. 9To5Mac has reported that at least some automakers will be offering aftermarket CarPlay installation for older models. They've confirmed that Mercedes will be doing this, and expect others to do so as well. This is good news, and it will be really interesting to see how it develops. Apple has made a fortune giving us better interfaces for our technology: first personal computers, then MP3 players, then smartphones, then tablets—and now the automobile. READ MORE » Rumor: iPhone 6 to Have Blazing Fast Quad-Core A8 Processor By Jim Karpen Recent rumors have suggested that the iPhone 6, expected in September or earlier, will have a new A8 chip designed by Apple and manufactured by chipmaker TSMC rather than Samsung, which makes the A7 used in the latest iOS devices. Then this last week a rumor passed along by Laptop and other websites said that the A8 will be a quad-core chip with quad core graphics. By comparison, the A7 has a dual-core CPU. Combine quad core with the 64-bit architecture Apple switched to in the A7 chip, and you get blazing speed. READ MORE » Screenshots of Icons for New Apps Coming in iOS 8; Other Expected Features By Jim Karpen For months we've been getting rumors about iPhone 6, and now we're starting to get some rumors about iOS 8. It's fun to see what's coming down the pike. 9To5Mac has posted screenshots of iOS 8 that reveal the icons for several new apps from Apple that will be part of this new version of iOS, expected to be available along with the new iPhone, likely in September. The apps appear to confirm earlier rumors that iOS 8 will have a greater focus on health monitoring and will include a new Healthbook app. In addition, there are icons for a Preview app, which has long been a Macintosh app for viewing and editing image files, and TextEdit, which has long been a Macintosh app used as a simple text editor. 9To5Mac says that it has confirmed that the leaked screenshots are legitimate. READ MORE »  How to Master "Silhouettes" with Your iPhone By Jamie Rhoades Hello friends and fellow iphoneographers. In this post I will be teaching you tips and tricks for capturing fantastic silhouette shots. For starters, you can use many different subjects for your silhouette shots. This includes people, birds, trees, or any object that would form a great silhouette. You always want to make sure your subject is in front of the lighting you choose to use. I find the best silhouettes are captured using natural light in the background. Sunrises and sunsets are my personal favorite backgrounds for capturing fantastic silhouette shots. I believe you can never go wrong using one of these as your backdrop READ MORE » How Are Mobile Apps Changing the Way You Shop? By Vishal Gumber Everybody loves shopping, and shopping online from the comfort of your home has its own perks. But over the past couple of years, the focus has been moving beyond e-commerce and into m-commerce. There are over a billion smartphone and tablet users all over the world, with new users jumping on the bandwagon every single day. According to InMobi's 2014 Mobile Media Consumption Report, at least 83 percent of shoppers with mobile devices plant to make a purchase on their device this year. In addition, 48 percent of the respondents listed media consumed on their mobile devices as having the most influence on their purchase decisions. Moreover, the app culture is increasingly influencing the shopping culture. Let's have a look at how mobile apps are changing shopping habits.

The action begins March 18, and you'll want to be sure to have these free apps on your iPhone or iPad. march madness live app iconNCAA March Madness Live, the official NCAA app, lets you stream every game live to you iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

But they do offer a three-hour temporary preview before requiring that you log in. And all the games being broadcast by CBS are available free without your needing to be a cable subscriber. READ MORE » How to Keep Your Teenagers Safe on Their iPhone By Eva Ozawa Children are getting cell phones at younger and younger ages, and even the cheapest smartphones on the market are capable of browsing the Internet. With the web as vast and accessible as it's ever been, monitoring teenagers' iPhone use can be as challenging as dealing with their hormone-driven attitudes. This is why it is good to know what easy, go-to options are available to parents to protect those inquisitive eyes from at least some of the Internet's unsavory side. Lay Down the Law First, preferably before an iPhone is placed in your teenager's eager hands, you should have a family-wide discussion about Internet safety. Figure out what acceptable internet usage means to your family and then lay out the rules clearly. Make it clear what types of websites are okay and are not okay, cover protecting your privacy online, and establish time limits for internet access. READ MORE »

Tales Of the Sanctuary: Chapter 1 Globsis LLC; $0.99 by Eric Pankoke With G5 and Big Fish Games on the iOS scene there is certainly no shortage of quality hidden-object and adventure games for your Apple-centric gadgets. With all the AAA titles available, though, it does make it a lot harder for the small developer to compete. Tales Of the Sanctuary: Chapter 1 ($0.99) makes an admirable attempt at doing something different, and I will admit to gleaning an odd sense of enjoyment from the game. In the end though, the game felt a bit too piecemeal for me. A bit more coherence would have gone a long way with this tale.Tales of the Sanctuary The game actually starts off with a cool if slightly clichéd intro, but the story quickly becomes secondary to everything else. Occasionally there is a panel with a paragraph of text attempting to guide you along, and from time to time you'll wonder "why does this seem familiar?" but there's really nothing to tie any of the sequences together. In what is the first of possibly a few spoilers this game is a "to be continued," so maybe we'll get more answers in part two, but at this point I'm not really sure what I even want answers to. Tales is a typical mix of object-based puzzles and hidden object scenes, with a couple of mini games (for lack of a better word) thrown in. I would have liked to see some more complicated object puzzles, because most of them simply involved manipulating one or two items to find a key. The hidden object scenes provided you with plenty to find, but they were either so dark or so cluttered or both that it became a chore after a while. There were a couple of times that I used the hint feature (in one scene I even used it twice for the same object) and I still couldn't tell what I was looking for. The first mini game was actually kind of interesting and made good use of a timer to intensify things, but the rest of the mini games seemed kind of pointless and in a couple cases provided no good explanation of what to do. I was particularly disappointed with the instance where I got bitten by a spider and was supposed to get something out of a medicine cabinet to take care of it, because even though I don't think I got what I needed, I still survived and moved on to the next scene. To select items or move to new areas you simply tap. To use an item from inventory you just drag it onto the scene where you want to use it. It's not always obvious where there are things to do, and even when you're sure you're tapping the right spot it often feels like it takes two or three taps for the game to respond. You can pinch to zoom in and out and drag to slide the view around, but it regularly seemed like the screen was getting stuck trying to slide it, particularly when I was zoomed in. Sanctuary has no bonuses of any kind to unlock and no Game Center integration for achievements; so unless you want to play through again for the sake of finding different items in the hidden object scenes, once you've reached the end it's over. The visuals are actually really good from a technical perspective. Everything is nicely detailed and well drawn, and in a couple of scenes that I'm guessing are supposed to be like dream worlds, the images actually look like watercolors. Sadly things are often marred by dark palettes or lots of clutter which might be good for setting a mood but are not so useful when actually trying to play the game. The sound effects are okay, but the voiceover work reminds me of S.A.M., the text to speech program that came with my Commodore 64 30 years ago. At least the music was pretty decent. As it stands Tales of the Sanctuary could use quite a bit of touch up work. The interface feels clumsy, the disconnected story is hard to take an interest in, and the mini games just didn't work for me. However, I do think this is a good start for Jarbull, and after one or two more tries they should be cranking out some pretty solid adventure games. You could certainly do worse than this, but you might want to hold out for their next release. Overall Score: 2.5/5

Choose from New Siri Voice Options Although I suspect most people still use the original female Siri voice, you've had the option for a while now of changing the gender or the accent. And now the latest update to iOS 7.1 offers more natural-sounding UK and Australian English voices in both genders, so if you haven't played around with Siri's voice, this might be a fun time to try it. To change Siri's accent or gender go to Settings>General>Siri. Tap Language and choose the version of English you prefer to give Siri an accent. Tap Voice Gender and select Male or Female to choose whether you prefer Siri to have a male or a female voice.

Taking the Myth Out of Hybrid Cloud Computing

The terms hybrid computing and cloud computing have been in the news for some time but, for many people, they are confusing and ambiguous terms. So what is hybrid cloud computing?

 

In very simple terms it is when an organization uses both the public cloud and their private cloud to do their computing. This needs further explanation before this concept can be properly understood.

 

The Public and Private Cloud

 

In cloud computing, the term cloud is a metaphor for the internet, so cloud computing is computing using computers linked though an internet connection, utilizing shared computing resources.

 

The public cloud is cloud computing where a company uses a third-party vendor to supply computing services in the form of servers, software applications, and data storage over the internet. Another form of public cloud computing is where a service provider provides a service to the public, for example, social networking services.

 

A key aspect of the public cloud is that it is available to the public who share the resources provided by the vendor.

 

A private cloud is similar to the public cloud, except that it is run privately for use by an organization and is behind that organization's firewall. It has many of the same features, but the essential difference is that the resources are owned and controlled by the company. Some companies choose this solution because of security concerns.

 

What Is Hybrid Cloud Computing?

 

If your operation is large, and you use both your own network of interconnected servers and those of a third party web-based service provider so that your applications and data are spread over these servers, you are performing hybrid cloud computing, as, your computing and, specifically your data, is shared between the private and public cloud.

 

Another form of hybrid computing is cloud storage, where a company would store critical data in their private cloud and other data in the public cloud.

 

Management of the Hybrid Cloud

 

The hybrid cloud is a great concept, freeing critical resources and providing flexible off-site resources that can meet short term needs.

 

However, if it is to function efficiently, it is important that the cloud is properly mapped out, that a database of all critical parameters is maintained, and that you have a management strategy in place to administer change control, data security, fault monitoring, and resource management.

 

Another consideration is the availability of, and access to, essential critical applications and data. This can be achieved by ensuring that critical information is stored within the company's private cloud so that access is unaffected should external network issues affect access to their public cloud

 

What Is Hybrid Cloud Computing All About?

 

A common use of the hybrid cloud is to expand your data storage capability without the purchase of additional hardware. This is especially useful if your need is transient or temporary, such as for a product launch, political campaign, or major project. This is often called cloud bursting, where applications move from the private cloud to the public cloud to take advantage of additional computing resources available in the public cloud.

 

Another reason for hybrid computing is cost, as instead of purchasing more servers for your internal data center, it may be more cost effective to use the servers of a cloud service provider, such as AWS or Rackspace.

 

Companies and organizations with global operations can use hybrid cloud computing to provide their operations with readily available and reasonably secure access, taking advantage of the internet's resilience.

 

Users of Hybrid Computing

 

Hybrid computing is a growth industry and Gartner predicts that by 2017, 50% of enterprises will adopt it. In many ways, hybrid cloud computing offers the best solution for large and diverse organizations.

Our Living Science Center offers a range of environmental education programs, including Field Investigations for the local school districts, public programs and festivals, summer classes, pre-school, home school and after-school classes. The building's exhibits are key in its mission to educate students and other visitors about the surroundin! g habitats, challenging them to become environmental stewards in their communities. After 18 years of service, the classrooms and interactive displays in the Living Science Center are dated, require frequent repairs, and need to be renovated in order to maximize usability. Evidence-based research indicates that children who are connected to the natural world and are active outdoors lead healthier, happier lives and even perform better in school. How would $25,000 support your cause?: New museum-quality interactive education displays will allow River Legacy Foundation to better connect tomorrow's environmental stewards with the natural world. The Science TEKS places increased emphasis on hands-on investigations and field experiences, making River Legacy programs more important than ever. Renovated exhibits in the Living Science Center will reinforce environmental concepts of our curriculums and expose more North Texans to information about protecting our watersheds and thereby our natural resources. All AISD Title 1 second graders attend Field Inve! stigations at River Legacy. We determined that it was necessary to provide this early additional training for the students in the Title 1 schools so that they could fully participate in the Field Investigations as fourth graders. All AISD fourth graders participate in Field Investigations including the 70% who attend Title 1 schools. First-hand educational experiences in nature help kids learn and improve their scores. How much of a lasting impact on your community will your cause have?: River Legacy Parks and the Living Science Center were created as part of a broader vision for our community to promote healthy habits for both children and adults. Starting with our very youngest students, River Legacy offers children, in the words of environmental educator David Sobel, "an opportunity to bond with the natural world, to learn to love it and feel comfortable in it, before being asked to heal its wounds." This early connection, tapping into children's inborn fascination with the plants and animals that they enc! ounter, lays the foundation for a lifetime of environmental stewardship.River Legacy's hands-on learning adventures invite children to connect with their world on a personal level. Building on their sense of wonder, these connections help them to see the natural world's inhabitants through the same lens as they see themselves and their family and friends, with similar needs, and deserving of the same respect and protection. Have you received funding through this program before?:no If yes; what has been the impact of that funding?: Blank. The age group most in need of community involvement is:: 0 - 18 What inspired you to submit this cause? : It is important to me to support my local community and its specific needs.
