S-Cloud’s humble beginnings may hide the next big thing for Samsung

When Samsung released the Galaxy S3, it had brokered a partnership with cloud-based storage company Dropbox to offer all buyers of the smartphone a an account and 50GB free storage with the online service. But as Apple before them, Samsung understandably wishes to stop relying on third-party cloud apps and integrate the service into their own offering, in a bid to channel more traffic and more data to themselves.

In the medium-to-long term, this is another stepping stone towards building, in much the same way Apple, Google or Amazon have, their own consumer ecosystem where users can rely on Samsung to provide the majority of the mobile services they require in their daily life.

The new cloud-based storage system from Samsung, predictably dubbed S-Cloud, will be 100% managed by the South Korean manufacturer and will allow them to bypass future partnerships. However, Samsung has yet to make any sort of official announcement regarding the new cloud service, and no mention has been made of a release date.

Still, as can be observed in the last few weeks, ghosts of S-Cloud apps have been appearing on the GalaxyNote 2, on the Galaxy S3, and constitute evidence that the release of S-Cloud draws near. Additionally, as Samsung introduced its new medium-range smartphones, the Galaxy Young and the Galaxy Fame, which are presented as being more affordable alternatives to the more prestigious main S line, take a look at the technical characteristics of the handsets and you will find a feature none other than S-Cloud.

If anything, this shows that Samsung more than looks ready to launch their integrated cloud-based data storage service. However, S-Cloud, whenever it does come out, will surely be a big deal. And a big deal requires a big platform worthy of comparable importance. Put two and two together, and with the imminent announcement of the Galaxy S4 at the Mobile Unpacked event in 6 weeks, we can’t help but think: what more perfect device to debut S-Cloud with than the next Samsung champion?

S-Cloud’s humble beginnings may hide the next big thing for Samsung…

Hurricane Sandy 2012 Enquiry Confirms Massive Internet Outages

Hurricane Sandy - Internet Outages

New York City – NYC

Thursday, Nov 08, 2012

In the aftermath of the all embracing destruction of Hurricane Sandy on the East Coast of America. Authorities have noted that when the mains electricity supply lines failed the Internet was knocked out at the same time in millions of homes and tens of thousands of business premises. Now the responsibility swings on to the Internet to have a workaround solution that can be used to keep the Internet up at all times when a natural disaster is underway.

But this will not be an easy fix as the way to access the Internet during a power outage is by backup batteries that most PCs – Laptops – Hand Held PDAs et al have inbuilt into the unit. But here is the problem most battery backup last at worst  a few hours and at best hardly ever longer than 24 hours. Hence given that millions of homes and businesses were without electricity for days after Hurricane Sandy, so that meant no Internet – No TV – No News!

So this has to be prevented from happening again when the next hurricane – storm or whatever comes along  that is capable of knocking out the electricity power lines.

Because the dangers of leaving millions of people without electricity and communication for days showcases a massive social problem that has to be avoided in the future at all costs.

Russia Internet Blacklist Closes in to Curb USSR WWW Access

I suppose it comes as no surprise to see news coming out of Moscow about stringent new constraints on the use of the Internet in all regions of the USSR – Russia. The USSR Authorities have dropped an iron clamp down on the WWW creating a Russia Internet Blacklist.

This means that Russian surfers will be subject to limitations on which sites they can view and read, namely if the censor regulators decide to block  a website – that is precisely what they will do on an immediate and unannounced basis. In layman’s terms this means a blatant restriction on human rights wherein the Internet user has no redress avenue to gain alternative legal access to view blocked websites in the USSR

Here is an official clip of a Moscow report on the Russia Internet Blacklist – quote – “The government will start closing other sites – any democracy-oriented sites are at risk of being taken offline. – more – “It will be [an attack on] the freedom of speech on the internet.”

Analyst see the iron fist of Vladimir Putin behind the stringent and unlawful Russia Internet Blacklist…

Time to Pay Back Protagonists of Internet Censorship

In view of all the aggressive ongoing Internet Censorship being dished out by the likes of :-
• China
• Iran
• Iraq
• Egypt
• Saudi Arabia
• Syria
Plus many more countries too many to list in full.

Among all the questions that are being asked are how to stop these unwarranted and unjustified intrusions into the freedom of innocent Internet surfers. Maybe the only way to suppress the governments who are riding rough shod over the WWW – World Wide Web – implementing wave after wave of Internet Censorship blocking and unlimited firewalls that restrict access to thousands of website that the authorities deem are not suitable to be used freely by Internet users.

It seems the time has arrived to take action against these draconian regimes one way to embarrass them would be for a large group of countries to unite and start blocking the major sites that these countries use as a bridgehead to promote their international interests abroad like from China – Block Xinhua – Iran – Block PressTV – Egypt – Block all the National News and TV Broadcasters et al.

We will be watching and waiting to see how the West battles back against widespread unauthorized Internet Censorship!

What is the Future for Two Tier Internet

Iran
The Middle East
Wednesday, May 16, 2012

Time to update progress on the messy surge that is breaking up the Internet as we know it as more and more countries hammer down on surfers with a spate of restrictions and Internet Censorship barriers and Firewalls.

Still leading the pack in Internet Censorship are :-
• China – Leading a never ending Internet Censorship program which has been so effective that now in 2012 it is accurate to say is the first country in the world operating with a definitive Two Tier Internet structure.
• Tibet – China are pulling all the strings and they are responsible for the ongoing Internet Censorship in Tibet.
• Syria – The Internet is being closed down in many areas by the dictatorial Bashar Hafez al-Assad regime who are entrenched in a bloody war of killing any and all residents who disagree with the brutal al-Assad ruling unelected junta.
• Egypt – Chaos has reigned throughout Egypt for over a year since former President Hosni Mubarak was unceremoniously removed from office after thousands of objectors poured onto the streets of Cairo and into ‘Freedom Square’ – Tahrir Square which is a major public town square in Downtown Cairo. Since this coup by the people political instability has prevailed for over a year and as no one seems to be in control although the Army backed political protagonists have the upper hand. However society is still enduring strict restrictions and to find the Internet censored is the norm not the exception.
• Iran – Middle East basket case as they seem hell bent on bragging to the world that they will kill anyone who objects to the feudal rulers who hide behind religious mullahs who support the ruling dictators as they pull all the strings while they keep a low profile as they sit and pray in the mosques and religious areas of Qom. Qom – The city is the largest center for Shi’a scholarship in the world, and is a significant destination of pilgrimage.
