D-Wave Defies World of Critics With \'First Quantum Cloud\' | Wired Enterprise | Wired.com - StumbleUpon

D-Wave Defies World of Critics With \’First Quantum Cloud\’ | Wired Enterprise | Wired.com – StumbleUpon. I once had an interview question where the group asked me at the end what I would do if Aliens came down and zapped all the silicon out of computers. I answered that Quantum computers existed but that it would need further research to find a viable alternative. I don’t think they liked the answer, but it was a real one.

Apple Blocks Emails for Objectionable Content

Apple Blocks Emails for Objectionable Content. This is concerning. So using MobileMe for business purposes has another reason to avoid. I like Apple, but its quiet censorship alarms me sometimes.

I used to have a MobileMe account until last year. It was just too slow and prone to problems to be useful even for personal use. I have Gmail now which is more useful, but now I wonder what spam messages are blocked that I don’t know about. Perhaps it is time to get a dedicated email system for my domain and setup my own filter.

Apple iCloud vs Google vs Amazon Cloud Drive vs Dropbox vs Microsoft SkyDrive – Pocket-lint. Interesting comparison. I think that they haven’t used the client versions enough and are not concerned enough about security. Suggesting that Dropbox is #1 IMHO is wrong compared to SugarSync and their better security process. Still worth reading over.

Office 365 Explained [Infographic] – Microsoft

Office 365 Explained [Infographic] – Microsoft. This is a great explanation of what Office 365 is. It is nice to see some focus so potential customers can understand it better. It doesn’t seem compelling for small business who are already using Google Services.

Review of Central Desktop. I ran across a reference to central desktop in another article I read. I am not sure that business will want to pay $25 per user. If this could be self-hosted and less money then I would agree it would be a big seller. Still if you are a small company and you need to track collaboration it might do the job.

Online storage Dolly Drive vs other online services

Interesting article here titled Dolly Drive 1.2 expands to 2 TB. To give more perspective to those readers I added this comment:

This isn’t a comparison of that service, but it does have some good information. At these prices I don’t see that it will be popular. After all you can buy that kind of storage for a little more money, and it is too expensive for business as well. Perhaps it will do well if it has strong encryption or better security features than DropBox that recently had some security issues.
