IT Managers should know the disadvantages of Cloud Computing

Truly, there’s no perfection when it comes to technology development. Starting from the design stages to when it is claimed ready to be used by the end-users. I’m not surprised because people put their brains together to implement the design. Have you ever considered why your calls dropped when having a good conversation with love ones or business partners, even when your bandwidth is fantastic yet you experience down-time, purchased licensed applications and you don’t get to enjoy the full features? These are one of the reasons why IT managers should not be too excited over cloud computing. The design and features could be so brilliant but have you thought of the bottle-necks when the chips are down?
Some business owners and public organization are thinking very fast in cutting down the cost of hiring, purchasing, managing IT gadgets but the truth remains relying so much on cheaper gadgets

Drones banned from Philadelphia skies for pope's visit

Few weeks ago, I mentioned on this blog how drones that were designed to help in performing series of task are presently been used by criminals. As a result, crimes of different levels are on the increase since the inception of drones. I read about it that Indian in 2014 banned the use of drones but many people did not know why. Some online retailers have started using it to deliver goods to their customers. Sadly, the negative impact would certainly discourage some customers from patronizing it. According to Reuters, U.S. regulators will ban drones and other unmanned aircraft during Pope Francis' visit to Philadelphia next month as part of security measures being implemented for the two-day event, officials said on Thursday.

Read how a drone was used to deliver drug at the prison

A few years ago when  I read about the benefits of drones to man which includes: delivering of goods purchased online, tracing of crime scenes, monitoring of oil theft, terrorist, flood disaster and its environmental impact. I was among the millions that believed the world is going to be a better place to live in soon with such a fantastic innovation. Little did I know such a beautiful device can also be used to ridicule the society, to an extent of delivering drugs in the prison? What's the tendency that sooner or later this same device won’t be used to deliver a bomb in a gathering place, market or congregation?

It is hard time our intelligence teams become more vibrant, vigilant and technologically creative if the world must subdue her enemies.

Oolu Is Bringing Solar Energy To West Africa’s Off-Grid Population

For those of us that so much believed “Powering African Continent” is an expensive dream that would take decades to be completed may be right but depends on the perspective at which individual is looking at it. 
 No doubt Africa is large, yet I have a strong conviction within that everything is possible depends on who is leading the group.With good management,the right approach is applied, cooperation from both the management and the consumers, rules and regulations are maintain or sustain, create awareness,elaborate more on the benefits,trust me why won’t it be possible to light up Africa and make it a better place to live in?
Most of the developed countries in the world today can boast of constant electricity without fear? The question is; how do they do it? simply good management team is the answer.
I will like to join the rest of Africans to appreciate the innovation Oolu and his teams has taken to provide Africa solar energy. According to techcrunch,Oolu, a Y Combinator company launching today, aims to reduce this number by delivering affordable solar energy to West Africa’s off-grid population, beginning in Senegal.
Despite the surge of innovation in solar storage and panel technology, Oolu founder Daniel Rosa says that many people living in rural areas of West Africa still walk miles to the nearest city to charge their cellphones and purchase kerosene for lanterns.

What do you know about Windows 10?

I want to say so far, Microsoft has not done badly. This is not to say they are perfect in software development.But by giving hears to clients all over the world is appreciating.Customer’s opinions, suggestions and emotion are taken care off. I remember when windows 8 was launched some years back, customers all over the world complained bitterly regarding the removal of ''start up button'' on windows which I believed has been restore on windows 10.
 I would advise you my dear readers not to be in a rush downloading windows 10 simply because is free. But if you do that, simply back up you stuffs on external hard drive especially the old eligible PC. The launch of windows 10 continues,but wondering when it will be launched in Africa.

How human error send a mother to an early grave

It actually gets me worried as in when and  how would human error be eliminated.Like seriuosly,it has caused  humanity so much disaster.I remembered vividly when a researcher said to me that out of hundred percent accident that ever happened to man and his environment,99 percent are caused by human error,I mean both domestic and non-domestic accident.Now, I have come to agreed and believed that the world would be a better place if and only human errors are eliminated totally.

 Don't be perplexed,haven't you see a driver driving without side-mirror,almost all the (commercial cyclist) popularly known as okada riders don't even use side mirrors,tall buildings with bad elevator but decided to manage it,constructing a street without adequate drainages,faulty household electrical appliances yet you want to manage it simply no enough money put them in other........haba!We just need to turn a new leaf. A report according to CCTV news how a mother dead on sunday as a result of human error

Exoskeleton for Industral workers

Truly, artificial intelligence is fast displacing human intelligence but I don't know if the negative effect is been considered during the development stage. A situation where hundreds or thousands of bankers are sacked annually because of the new trend in technology development, shops and malls are shutting down as a result of online business, military officers are given ways to drones to secure the environment, doctors and nurses are losing their respect because of the availability of online administration persons is something one must be mind-disturbed. I’m just wondering what would be the usefulness of man’s knowledge, skills and intellectual soonest when all the activities that makes men raise the ergo and command respect is been taken away by artificial intelligence.  Based on a report from moneytimes.com,

Chrome Now Automatically Pauses Flash Content

Recent experienced shows that most user have left Mozilla(Firefox) for chrome web browser.browser of thing are going on your page without you knowing it.This how far google and adobe has gone to make thing easy for all customers using chrome.
Auto-playing Flash content can drain your laptop’s batteries (and, if it’s an auto-playing ad with audio, get on your nerves). Thankfully, Google has now partnered with Adobe to keep Flash on Chrome in check. Starting with today’s release of the latest Chrome desktop Beta, the browser will now automatically pause Flash animations that — in Google’s words — “aren’t central to the webpage.”

Ideally, Google will pause the Flash content it thinks isn’t important right now and still let you keep watching that video you actually wanted to see. In case it gets it wrong, you can always click on the wrongly paused content to resume playback.

Technology: Your phone could soon be powered by WI-FI

Forget batteries, your phone could soon be powered by WI-FI: Technology uses radio waves to connect and charge devices

Having to charge your phone to send a message, or standing on a chair to get signal could soon be a thing of the past.

US engineers recently developed technology known as 'ambient backscatter' that taps into Wi-Fi signals and transforms it into power - and have now created a prototype router.
During trials, these so-called PoWiFi routers powered battery-free cameras 17ft (5 metres) away and did so without interfering with the homeowners' web speeds.
The technology was first showcased by researchers at Washington University in August but lead engineer Shyam Gollakota recently demonstrated the prototype router at the EmTech Digital conference.

His team installed its PoWiFi router in six homes and asked homeowners to use it for normal internet access for 24 hours.
Ambient backscatter, also known as Wi-Fi backscatter, on which the technology is based, enables two battery-free RF-powered devices to communicate by 'backscattering' existing wireless signals.

RF-powered computers are small devices that compute and communicate using only the power that they harvest from RF signals.
The router used in the tests sent out radio waves which were then converted into a direct current voltage using what's known as a 'rectifier.'

Why you need to update your skype account

Skype has been a fantastic application ever since I knew how to use it.Some users have testimonies of how their broken home,relationship,lost friends and business partners were reconciled.For me,using skype saves cost of travelling abroad to attend a workshop, keeps the communication smooth when one of the spouse is away for an official engagement.if you are not using Skype I bet, you may be missing something really cool.For those already using it, you need to read and follow the steps.

Honourable Patrick Obahiagbon on an interview with Punch Newspaper..

I can't just help than to deviate a little from the scientific objectives of this blog.Guess you will enjoy it when you read through.

Punch ­- Did you write exams in school in these big words?

Hourable- I used such words very-very freely in my exams both at the
secondary school and in my university and little wonder I had
the misfortune of my English results being seized intermittently in my O’ Levels.
WAEC released my results for the other subjects and withheld my English result. This happened for
about three years. Twice, I passed the University Matriculation Examination but I
could not proceed to the University because of my English results that...
were not released. At
the end of the day, it was released after the third attempt.

It may interest you If Techno giant is giving out power bank freely to customers when they buy any of their smartphones.So,why do I bothered myself paying extra £20 fee to revive my phone?

Eating fast food after a workout may be just as beneficial

I want to believe that prone to ignorance, some of my friends have stopped eating fast food but this article might be of great benefit to those who have long left their favourite fast food for something else. According to a report from dailymail.co.uk, eating fast food is not actually an issue for those that eat fast food and exercise regularly.

Researchers found that during recovery periods between periods of exercise, it didn’t matter what food was eaten.

Performance remained the same after resting for several hours, while levels of glycogen - used by muscles as ‘fuel’ - were actually slightly higher after fast food was eaten as a recovery food.

 The research, published in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, was led by University of Montana graduate student Michael Cramer.

 In the study, 11 male athletes were asked to fast for 12 hours, before a 90-minute endurance workout.

 After this, half were fed hot cakes, hash browns and orange juice, followed by a burger, fries and a Coke two hours later.

 The other group were given Gatorade, organic peanut butter and Cliff Shot Bloks, followed two hours later by Cytomax powder and PowerBar products.

 Two hours after the second meal, all participants were then ask to ride 12 miles (20km) on a stationary bike a fast as they good.

 Each meal eaten by the participants was roughly equal in calories, carbohydrates and protein - although the fast food had more sodium and slightly more fat.

 At various intervals, the researchers took muscule tissue samples and did blood tests, to check glycogen levels.

 After a week, the participants returned and performed the task again, this time switching their diet to the one they didn’t do last time.

 The results showed that, when performing the second exercise task, the times were about the same no matter which meal group the participants were in.

 Also, levels of glycogen across the two groups were almost the same - with the fast food group being slightly higher.

 No differences in insulin, glucose or cholesterol were found, while neither group reported any serious stomach discomfort.

 ‘These data indicate that short-term food options to initiate glycogen resynthesis can include dietary options not typically marketed as sports nutrition products such as fast food menu items,’ the researchers wrote.

 However, the researchers said that the experiment included a fairly small sample, and the long-term effects on workout recovery of eating fast food over other, healthier sources of food are not known.
