Let’s even begin this by trying to understand what cloud computing is really all about. For someone who is not so familiar with IT jargons, the term cloud computing can sound very huge and confusing. But it need not be. It’s not like some scientists built a physical something, massive, some 56,000 off sea level (into the sky) where everything goes into. No. Cloud computing simply refers to the automated process of shared computing resources, as against when you or your organization had to acquire the servers or personal devices to handle applications. Think about it this way, the word…

It is easy to say that the iPad Air 2 is an amazing device simply because it is an extremely light and thin tablet and yet so powerful, and that alone would be correct. But the truth is, the iPad Air 2 is a lot more awesome than simply amazing and going through the features that this tablet presents, it is easy to see that it is true.

So for a while now, a few TV manufacturers have been introducing into the market ultra high definition (UHD) TV models. This has led to intensified debate about the supremacy of 4K, as compared to 1080p HD that preceded it. And the debate rages on. Some have argued that 4K is the next big thing in digital TV history. Others say that UHD TVs don’t make (digital) sense. If you observe carefully these days you can even see the 4K logo proudly displayed on most new TVs and other electronic products.
