Samsung just announced a new iteration of its flagship Galaxy S4 handset which has a digital camera embedded in its rump. The Galaxy S4 Zoom has a 10X optical zoom lens on the back, giving it two clear aspects: from the front it looks exactly like Samsung’s flagship S4 smartphone. But from the back it looks like a point and shoot digital camera.

The result is a hybrid handset that squeezes the ability of Nokia’s carefully crafted PureView cameraphone brand to stand out.

We’re well beyond any question about whether cloud computing is the future. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) paved the way for the idea that organizations can operate some of their most important systems in an on-premise or off-premise cloud. Small, medium and even large businesses accept that cloud computing delivers flexibility, cost and scalability that business has never had before. Companies are gravitating to cloud because it brings very short time to value and doesn’t impact the current business model. Lower cost and less risk are very attractive propositions.

What is a Chromebook?

Chromebooks are laptops that run on Google’s Chrome operating system, Chrome OS, instead of the widely used Microsoft Windows or Apple Mac OS X operating systems.

How are they different to normal laptops?

Chromebooks come with several Google apps pre-installed that allow users to do things like create documents, listen to music and edit photos. Instead of a conventional Windows ‘Start’ button, Chromebooks have an Android-like app menu that pops out of the bottom task bar but most of the tiles just lead to online tools or websites.

Are they better than conventional laptops?

The main thing that Chromebooks have going for them is their price. By removing all the hardware needed to run and store demanding operating systems and software packages they can be built and sold at a fraction of the cost.
