Google in boiling water over Java

Just after Google has release Nexus One cellphone(available in the market in January 2010) now they in the boiling water. Apparently Oracle sued Google over Java code that they have used in android. Oracle bought Sun Micro System inc in January this year, that means everythings owned and developed by Sun Micro System is now owned by Oracle and that includes Java Script.

I think in terms of Court laws Oracle have a better chances of winning the case but what need to clear is that Google din't just used Java as it is but they made some changes( I have they colled it a clean version). Another thing is that some of Google's Officials took part in the development of Java for example Google CEO Eric Schmidt was one of the team leader that develop Java at Sun Micro before move to Novell which later  to Google in 2001 also senior vice President of operation and Google  Fellow also played a role in Java development in 1990.

The future of Internet Protocol

Who can deny that China and India arev mostly developing countries in the world? I gues no one, not unless you don't follow the news. The economy of these countries develop almost by ten percent every year(if I am not mistaken)that means their ICT sector is developing fast. Does this pose any threat to you, if not you better read the next sentence. According to analyses of data done Sisco,they concluded that IANA's allocation pool of IPv4 address will probably run out in between three and ten years.At this point I can imagine you thinking and shaking but hold because there are solutions to this.

We should not forget to thank American univercities such as Stanford and MIT who handed over their class A address so that the rest of the world could benefit. Class A in a single network can hold up to 16,777,214 host.

IPv6(Inernet Protocol Version six)

The introduction of IPv6 has been a sollution to the running out of addressing space in IPv4.The following is the main benefit of IPv6.
Addressing space
IPv4 could hold 4billion host whereas IPv6 can hold up to 79 octallion time the IPv4 addressing space.There are lot of other benefit in IPv6 which were not in IPv4 but I think the IP address acomodation is more important. I refer you to http://www.ipv6.com/ for more information on IPv6.There are many other website writting about this IP,therefore if you want to search I can recomend you to http://www.google.com/ which the best searching engine.

Is it ignorance or what?

At this point you might be wondering about what this tittle is about but I encourage you read until the last word to get insigth. Technology changes every second around the world but one might ask this, how many people are aware of that. You don't need to be in Technology sector or be the expect to notice this because we all rely on Technology.

Business people and Technology

I don't know whether I should say this is a disgrace or what (please pardon me if this sound humilating) but I want you to figure this to your selves. If you come upon a business person in a mall what do you notice or maybe if you ever been in a business conference what did you ever notice. I don't know about you but on case almost I have seen them caring two cellphones some even more. Since there was the introduction of dual cellphones (two Subsriber Identity Modulo cellphones) it seems as disgrace that there still people who bothering their selves about having two cellphones especially business people whom I think should know better when it come to saving.

In dual cellphone you can switch from one network to another network without having any difficulties. Moreover just think about this, with two cellphones you pay for two instalment and even insurance if you insured you cellphones but with dual you pay one instalment, one insurance and a lot of savings.

In closing since the world has just recovered from recession there is no better time to think about saving than now.
