Google Health
E 'available the first public version (beta) of Google Health .
functions are very limited for now: the user has the possibility to enter their medical history, allergies, medications, clinical trials, the user interface is very simple, even minimalist.
Surely the strength of Google Health is not it will be the application itself as the potenzieli eHealth integration with existing systems. The idea is
Health which is a tool for sharing and exchange of data already present in the information systems of hospitals.
Even now you can import clinical data from a list of Hospitals (U.S.), which is expected to grow.
The impression is that Google in fact, aware that the eHealth world is extremely complex and heterogeneous, has chosen a strategy of small steps, "bottom up" rather than a "big-bang". As with other times
Google focuses on the user's own system-patient, who is the first recipient of the ease of access to their clinical data.
The other actors (Doctors, Hospitals, Government) will follow.

Social Software
The Social Software is certainly the killer app of the moment, is on sites like Facebook , MySpace, Bebo but LinkedIn to be under the spotlight.
Besides the numbers speak for themselves: these are the most-used applications, those where the people "is."
consequent growth in excess of the prices these companies: $ 9B for Facebook to cite one striking example.
But what is the actual value of these companies? The business model would not justify such evaluations, when based only on the revenue provided.
As often happens in the world of network, evaluation is strongly influenced by future potential rather than actual results.
It is believed that in the near future more and more people spend time on the application of these "social" and mainly based most of their interactions with their own network of contacts through the tools offered by these sites.
Basically, these sites would become central to the very life of the people, managing personal information very relevant and "real."
The perspective is to allow companies to intercept decision-making processes of individuals in the very moment when these occur, ie the most critical moment to propose a product / service.
short, the paradise of marketing.
By understanding how to protect users, and if this Big Brother will not be finally perceived as oppressive or even just annoying, and then degenerate into yet speculative bubble.

... sometimes I forget that not all are equal ... sometimes I forget that my reactions and those of others also change the face of similar events ... sometimes I forget that if I behave in a certain way does not mean that others should do the same ... and that's not to say selfish, but maybe because I did not mind the diversity of the human mind ... the fact that I want to know a person does not mean to trigger the of the same mind the same desire ...
but I know in what mistake: I demand all at once when on the contrary there are times and ways to respect that society forces us to preface ...
and then one last thing: sometimes, but just ask ... that's another story ...

Cloud Computing
Increasingly we hear about Cloud Computing, yet another "tag" in the Web 2.0.
What
delay was more marketing than technical, the definition can not be vague and imprecise that, in essence it is an immediate consequence of virtualization and relocation of the physical components of the ICT infrastructure .
Essentially all components physical infrastructure (CPU, storage) are virtualized and made available to the user as on demand services over the network, where and how these services are provided is irrelevant.
implementations
There are many interpretations of this approach, from the lower level until the delivery of complete applications follow the model as Software-as Service (SaaS)
Amazon Elastic Computing Cloud allows you to define and instantiate virtual machine (AMD Opteron - compatible) running Linux.
Interesting images from the possibility of pre-configured and customizable
then Google App Engine offers a platform for the development of higher level than Amazon, in essence is like having an Application Server (for now only supports the Python language) with a limited set of APIs.
Google Apps would be the version of "Cloud" of Office (Microsoft vs LiveOffice), and is the most "high" and in fact coincides with the approach SaaS.
Ulteo Cloud and instead are oriented solutions that enable clients to virtualize their workstations. In practice you access a remote desktop (through a kind of Terminal Server) that provides the feature "classic" of personal computing: Office Suite, Mail. The value added is the portability of their work environment (accessible from any browser and in the case of cloud also mobile) and the ability to share your workspace with other users.
The consequences for ICT
For a few hours, hard to believe that the level of ICT Enterprise can migrate to Amazon EC2 or similar, but tend to model the "Cloud" will come to fruition for its effectiveness and efficiency: I tested the service in person and I was able to boot my linux virtual server in minutes, already looking set up and ready, all at a cost that is almost irrelevant.
for small and medium enterprises but the benefits could be enormous: even the small company can have the performance (in terms of reliability and scalability) of a typical data center-class Enterprise, more geographically distributed, and then "disaster-proof".
be noted, however ( source Amazon) which is already extensive maggiornaza of about 60000 people EC2 are companies that use these enterprise-level resources such as infrastructure projects that require fast switching times.
