Apple's focus on new computing era - Technology - Electronics

According to foreign media reports, the New York Times blog (NICK BILTON) published an article on Tuesday, Apple will focus on a new era of computing:

Bilton wrote in an article, laptop battery,do you remember floppy disks? I'm sure Steve Jobs will remember, and remember the time kill diskettes. Rather, should be 1998, floppy disk was the new killer weapons iMac machines, which computer is not configured then the standard built-in floppy drive.

Last month, Jobs has another technique for the death knell: DVD or CD drive. This is the new killer weapons MacBook Air, and the iTunes store with a little force. Jobs in the disclosure of the new MacBook Air Products said the camp, which is the next generation of notebook computers, reaffirmed its voice-over commercials, "This is the next generation of Macbook". That is, the next generation of Mac notebooks and desktops are no longer configure the DVD drive.

Apple hopes to iCloud replace all disks, so that software, music, video and personal content users to fly through the iCloud its own user side, like a happy seagulls fly on the beach as their own.

Apple's move to the new era of computing Shihai faces enormous risks. Provide users with network storage and synchronization of data between different devices, Apple's MobileMe service is launched in the past few years, one of the most failed service. Although the performance is pretty good, but the price is too high, laptop battery,charges $ 100 per year, and iDisk storage software to run faster than third-party software ZumoCast and Box.net much slower.

Apple also faces pressure from Google. Google has been expanding in the cloud, for the next time a software release a lot of successful service.

Steve Jobs understands these pressures. Last week there were reports that Apple spent $ 1,000,000,000, spent years to build the area of 50 million square feet of data center opening soon. Chief Financial Officer Peter Oppenheimer (Peter Oppenheimer) said that the data center recently opened at any time.

North Carolina data center and put into use, people are able to use cloud-based Mac machine interaction. Between different computers photos and music to wireless transmission, users can even imagine such a time: computer operating system is no longer running on the desktop, but running in the cloud, the machine to save any type of file can be automatically space launch, users can iPad, laptop battery,iPhone and other Apple device access.

But Apple is in no hurry to turn all people and all things cloud computing, but to make all preparations. Apple customers will see the gradual migration of the cloud processes. One thing is for sure, the old DVD and CD and video tape and floppy disk will be completely retired.
