Try the next version of DB2 in the Cloud
The DB2 Early Experience program lets you try the latest version of DB2 under development. Your feedback then helps build a better DB2.By participating in the DB2 Early Experience program on the cloud, you can create your own DB2 server without having to obtain hardware, install and patch operating systems, or install the DB2 Early Experience code. Simply boot your database server when you want to use it and shut it down when you�re finished.
- Request participation from db2beta at ca.ibm.com
- Watch quick videos for instructions

Ubuntu One for Windows Cloud App Client is Released!
Ubuntu One for Windows Cloud App Client is Released!
"Ubuntu One" is the brand name for the cloud computing (storage specific) model of the Ubuntu Linux operating system. Although the Ubuntu Cloud model is an open one unlike with other models such as iClould or MS Windows Cloud version which are proprietary in nature.
I dont know much about the business oriented cloud... but Im against the idea of the personal cloud "module", because something doesnt feel right man :). Anyhow, whether its necessary or not, it doesnt matter because its at our doorsteps. And if you use Ubuntu as your primary OS then youre aware that it comes highly integrated with the Ubuntu One account which easily lets you manage your data in the Ubuntu Cloud.

| Its here! ... |
As a result of this, Ubuntu One has already released its desktop front-end to other platforms such as Android and iPhone recently but the MS Windows version was still in beta. But today, Ubuntu One team announced that the Ubuntu One for MS Windows is officially available to download!.
So if you dont like to pay for anything, then Ubuntu One will give you about 5GB of Cloud space for free! (a free sign-up is necessary first). And as long as youre using any device thats powered by a the MS Windows platform and have this app installed, youll be able sync/access your data with ease.
You can create new folders, manage music, delete files, upload/download files, etc using this utility. Its about 22.3MB in size and if interested, you can get it from this official Ubuntu One for Windows page.

Ubuntu cloud vs Apple iCloud
Ubuntu cloud vs Apple iCloud
Today we�re going to talk about Ubuntu cloud, codename Openstack and Apple iCloud. Yes, the latest innovation by Apple, which was introduced with the iPhone 4S at the �Let�s Talk iPhone� event.

iCloud lets you to sync all your music you purchase from iTunes to the cloud and then you can access it anywhere from any iDevice, be it a Mac, an iPhone, an iPod or an iPad. That�s not all, even the apps you buy from the AppStore, say for example, Angry Birds, will be automatically installed and synced to all the other mobile devices you have connected to the internet at that very instant. Also, the pictures, documents, videos, and other media you allow, will be uploaded to the cloud and you can access them from all of your iDevices and PC too. Like you make a calendar entry on your iPhone, it automatically synchronizes to your account on the cloud and pushes it back on all the devices you have registered with iCloud. You take a picture on your iPad, the next moment you�ll have it on every other iDevice of yours. You get the air. So, it�s pretty cool, eh?

However, it turns out, Apple stole it. Again, I mean, technically they have stolen the idea behind that but then they bought CloudMe, and they had all the rights with them.
Turns out also, that this idea was first brought out by guys at Canonical. Yes, the same people who gifted the world with Ubuntu. And that cloud service was available for the first time in Ubuntu with Ubuntu One, a built-in cloud file client.
Ubuntu allows you to do just everything the now hyped iCloud does, for the last two years! You�re allotted 5 GB of data in the cloud. iCloud offers the same now. Above that, you�ll have to shell out money as per the plan you opt for. Ubuntu One service is accessible via many mobile device, since there are dedicated clients for Android and iOS devices, whereas clients for WP7S are under works.
The Ubuntu Cloud feature was first released with Ubuntu 9.10. There�s also Windows Ubuntu One client for those who use Linux and Windows as well. The application programming interfaces (APIs) are also publicly available now.
If you opt for the paid Ubuntu One Music Streaming service in addition to music streaming, you�ll get an additional 20 GB of storage for $3.99/month. Each fresh addition of 20 GB data henceforth will be charged at $2.99/month.
The newest cloud client with Ubuntu is in Ubuntu 12.04 which has integrated OpenStack for all their cloud computing needs.
I recommend all readers to try Ubuntu One and avail the benefits of having it for free.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
