There’s been a lot of talk regarding cloud computing and how it’s so easy to gain access to your information from anywhere in the world.

The offering seemed simple, and being an explorer, I was convinced enough to give it a spin. Little did I know, I was going to be in for a surprise! Convenience my foot! More like conveniently hidden fees! It reminds me of the time I blogged about Tiger Airways trying to hide certain fees too – read about it here. With my iPhone, I logged onto m.fireflyz.com.my and was promptly redirected to flyfirefly.mobi. Everything seemed easy enough – aside from … Continue reading
This video is truly amazing, and I bet this will come to fulfillment in my lifetime. I love the ideas behind it and seamlessness, but with so many different vendors pushing their proprietary hardware, it may be quite a tussle to get devices to speak to one another.
