Steve Jobs x Bill Gates – Some of the Differences
Everyone knows that there are a lot of differences between them.
But, we’re always reading, listening to and so on, serious things about those differences.
The SuperNews Guys created a very funny cartoon about it.
So, I really ask you to watch it and, as Steve Jobs says; Hey Bill, I’m sorry for making fun with Nerds!
Have you got a Macintosh? Behold VM Fusion!
Even some people just use computers to do their work, to pain their bills, etc, we are always listening to a sea of things about it. Technology!
The new features, applications, devices and, consequently, possibilities.
Talking about operating systems specificly, I believe that you know this; Nowadays, we can run different enviroments at the same machine.
What I mean by that is if you’ve got an IBM PC, for example, which some people called of “The normal PCs”, you can install any version of the Windows on that machine, and later you can install an application that allow you to use Linux, or whatever Operating System do you want, in that same machine, at the same time.
It is called of Virtualization. Ok.
I few days ago I earned a MacBook Pro 4.1, from my Mother.
What??? Did you earn a MacBook??
Yes, I earned it. I did not believe too. =D
Well, I used Macintosh too much time ago, when I worked for Better Comunicação, an advertising agency, but many things about that plataform is different.
Of course, many things is much better, but I need to learn everything again.
Ok, I started to study and use this operating system again, but We always need to use some application that only run in Windows. Based on this, I decided to find out how could I use it without rebooting my Notebook… and I found… VM Fusion!
Look what the VM Fusion Team say about this application: “We can run the most demanding Mac and Windows applications side-by-side, at maximum speeds and without rebooting.”
It looks like a commercial phrase only, right?
Wrong! As you can see a few lines above, I installed this tool on my machine and I can tell you, if you have got a Macintosh too, go ahead! It really works very, very well!
Below I posted a video where the some people, Parallels Team and users, are talking a little bit about this tool.
Let us watch it!
[Mobile Lifestyle] Your Blog and your Cell Phone.
When we talk about technology, about users and internet, to be more specific, we can see that our life, our behaviors is changing, indeed.
We are living most of our time with our mobile devices than with our girlfriends/wives. Indeed… twice… rssrs
Nowadays, everything is conected to each other.
We can take photos, make videos, send e-mails, talk to whoever we wish, whenever we want, whereever we are, in some cases, in the same time, is not it? Ok.
There is many services nowadays too, like Twitter, Facebook, Blogspot, which we called of Social Media. Most of us have an account on these. By the way, there is some companies using these services to do their business, to increase their credits front of their customers, so on. But We, simple internet surfers, really love it. Am I lying? Of course not!
We love to keep ourselves connected ever!
So, as I do not want to take your time away, enough to talk!
Let’s go straight to the point!
If your mobile allow you to send SMS, MMS and E-mails, you can send posts, including texts, of course, and photos to your Blog at Blogspot.
As I told you, let’s go straight to the point!

The Google TV. Do you know it?
The Google Company just release a new one; The Google TV!
A ‘multimillion-channel’ TV came up to change the way to find out entertainment through of television.
I will not talk too much here, because we can see all details from the video below. Check this out!
The Infrastructure Behind of Cloud Computing
Have you heard about Cloud Computing, haven’t you? I think so… But, if you do not work with Information Technology, I think you do not know many details about the structure that companies that are offering this technology has to have inside their Data Centers.
**Note: This post was translated from “Os bastidores da nuvem”, writen by Gilberto Mautner and published at “Info Blogs“.
Ok, let’s go ahead…
To create an Internet Service Provider based on Cloud Computing, or something like this, the companies need to have many computers in their Data Centers, but these computers cannot be simple machines, I mean, these computers must be super machines. They are the Server Machines!
To be a Server Machine, the computer should hav more powerfull processors, much more memory, and much more disk space.
To see one of many models of actual Servers, Click Here.
Server Machines, not as many people think about, do not need a keyboard and a monitor to each of these one (of course, there is exceptions, in case of maintenance, for example.). Because of it, commonly they are stacked in furnitures called “Racks”, looking for to put as many machines as they can. If you want to see an example of it, Click Here.
“Racks”, how it must to be, are put in longs passageways, as we can see right here
Cloud services, as many of we know, must to stay always available, I mean, they must to stay on line 24×7. They cannot be turn off or stay unavailable across a minimal period of time, even if energy get down. Because of this too, Data Centers has in their infrastructure, for example, diesel generators, to supply energy during a period like that.
It is too important that, in many cases, there is Redundancy of Generators in most of companies, in other words, if one of these generators get down, the other start to work immediately.
Another thing, related to energy and generators; Data Centers must to keep diesel reserves to garantee the energy during a long periods of time, supplying power to generators. Problems like blackout can happen, as well as we saw in november of 2009. We can see an Underground Tank here, like an exemple. This tank has 30.000 liters of capacity. A tank like that can provide energy by 7 days, without us charge it again.
Another important components are the “No-breaks”. As well as we can see, these components are responsible to keep the energy up in the machines, even during a short period of time to the generators to get started to work, what happen commonly after a few seconds, in case of energy problems or somethings like that.
There is some equipments with removable batteries, which is really sofisticated, that allow us to change one or another battery, in the case of problems, but without to have to stop all the equipment, I mean, some no-breaks use the hot swap system.
To increase much more the services quality, looking for to keep the enviroment always up, the most of Servers have two or more independent outlets and each outlet is plugged on independent circuits, in other words, it is plugged on in diferent no-breaks.
Untill now, we have just talked about how is important to keep the energy working up among the Servers. But it is not everything!
The processors, the CPUs, I mean, the “mind” of the machines, installed inside the Servers get too hot.
Why does it happen? When you do a request executing a software, a lot of informations are send through the system. These informations are transformed in eletric energy, running up inside to the CPU core. To solve this question, which we can see like a problem, there is many ways, many techinics.
Dangerous problems or Disasters, if you do prefer, can happen at any moment inside the Data Centers. The most normal situation, about this issue, are wildfires. Its because of the high level of eletric energy running over the place. The companies must have a professional infrastructure (and tools!) to eliminate something like this.
Well, as well as we can see a little bit through at this post (and this! ;-P), the enviromental behind of Cloud Computing must be really well prepared. It seems like an industrial infrastructure. About the software, this enviroment is beyond of Operational System, network and things like these. Thermodinamic, chimical reactions against wildfires and so on.
*Ps: The pictures published/cited here are taken from Locaweb Data Center.
Below, there is one of the many videos available at YouTube.
In this video, some of the biggest personalities of IT and related are talking about it.

What kind of music do you like to listen to?
Yes, I’m asking you about listen to, because some kinds are made to you dance, or to have breakfest, or to stay with your love, and so on…
Am I wrong? =D
So, I really like many kinds, but, in general, my favorite style is the Rock And Roll.
By the way, I decided to learn to play guitar (and similars instruments like bass and eletric guitar) a few years ago, because I always thought about to do something different, thinking about therapy, and this is one of the many ways to do this.
So, from of this, I started to listen to somethings alternative… Then I figured out this band, Korn.
Wow!!! This is Fantastic(!!!), I said… rs
I was 18 and it was perfect to that time.
I was young and rebel… Don’t you? rssrs…
Since then, I started looking for different bands,,,
Nowadays, there is a lot great bands, but, as many things in our life, changes came for me… My time is very short today… My little princess, called Bárbara, don’t let me do nothing when I’m in home, as my wife do… hunf…
But, my MP4 has 2GB of old things and one thing that I’ve never let fail in, is related to this band.
Well, I’ll stop to take your time out, ok?
Increase the volume and watch this video below.
This is fucking good!
Korn – Right Now + Did My Time (Live in Serbia/2009)
By the way, They are Back!
That’s great, isn’t it?

Why Do We Want Have an iPad?
Talking about technology, the iPad is the newest and exciting thing at this moment.
The Apple company, of Steve Jobs, created that product thinking exactly at those people; The Geeks and The lovers of tecnology.
When they really announced the sales to everyone, many people taken himself out of the bed very early to get it.
Below, the “Apple iPad Tour Video”.
So, let’s check it out if those people were right. 😉
Let’s check it out.
