"Cloud" Stuff - from Google!

This is real "cloud" stuff from Google, and - without doubt in my mind - the next issue that "disbelievers" will pick the bones of Google over...!
Don't forget - NOBODY (certainly NOT Google) demands or insists that you use Google products, but the problem is that they are excellent, and in particular - THEY ARE FREE.....!(Ed)

When Google launch their Chrome OS (hopefully later this year) they will be bringing a relatively new concept (cloud computing) to the mainstream, apparently one big challenge for Google has been creating a print system for local printers.
As the operating system will be entirely web-based you will not be able to simply put in your driver CD and install your printer, instead Google need to develop a reliable system which will allow you to print to locally connected and shared printers.
Apparently to do this Google will in affect have to act as a print server, therefore when printing a document you will send data to their Cloud Print system, which will then send print jobs to the correct printer.
Their Cloud Print system is still under development, and I would have thought it would be under development for a while as their target is to “build a printing experience that enables any app (Web, desktop, or mobile) on any device to print to any printer anywhere in the world”.
If you check out Cnet you can find out more about Chrome OS’s Cloud Print system, also the image below shows a rough diagram of how their system will work.

The tablets are really coming thick and fast now. After exciting first pictures of the HP Slate tablet, we now have details on the Android equipped Cruz Tablet from Velocity Micro.
As reported from Phandroid, this tablet is thought to be ‘coming soon’ and packs a 7-inch capacitive touchscreen and an 800mhz processor. On top of that you’ll have full Flash 10.1 support and expandable memory via SD.
Interestingly, you’ll be able to purchase new content for the Cruz via the unique ‘Cruz Market’- hopefully we’ll bring you more details on this soon.
It has been confirmed that the device will run Android 2.1, but if this device gains an update to 2.2 Froyo, then things could really get interesting in relation to competition with the mighty iPad.
Let us know your thoughts on the Cruz. Interested in this alternative or not?

A Scotsman. Essentially   speaking, one of the 'foundling' countries of the 'Union of Great Britain',also known as the 'United Kingdom'or simply 'UK',Scotland is currently (2021) seriously reflecting the withdrawal from the 'Union of Great Britain'and reclaiming the statute of an Independent Nation. Scotland - Ecosse - Schottland. The aim of this is simple - it is wished, by the Scots, to rejoin the Union of European States, known as the EU, from which they were illegally forced to retire by the illegal Referendum, known as 'Brexit'-which forced British Union Citizens to vote on the subject of leaving the EU,or staying in it - Well over 50% of the Scots voted 'remain in Europe' An overwhelming result. The UK Government in Westminster,nonetheless,used the fact that marginally over 50% of ALL British voted to leave, hence 'Brexit', against the will of the Scottish people and the Scottish Government. In Scotland, the National

The Empire is dead...Long live the Empire...?

Just what is going on over there in the old Empire land? Once upon a time... HP Sauce has moved to Holland...Dutch treat! Baked beans are leaving too...! Airfix kits bankrupt,but struggling on armed with plastic Spitfires...! The Queen being acted out (better than the original,I understand) by an ageing actress... QEII & Helen Mirren. PMs who can't decide where,when,how & why to disappear... May & Johnson - if they would just go. All in all, since Mr le Marquis' departure, it's been all downhill, which is why He's back, in text, to make you all aware of the damage you are doing. He's staying where He is, all the same - mr le Marquis du Galipot. You can't tell me that Europe isn't infinitely better than a small, lost island, full of arrogant people who insist that everybody else must bow to them, but who they don't really need. Pride & Arrogance, no Prejudice. That's English. The majority of Empire citizens nowadays have a skin colou
