So Big Data

… a different perspective.

We are fortunate to see the technological change (limiting myself to software) in front of our eyes. It's so wonderful that each change in technology brings with it sophistication and features, and which in turn help the developer community to transform an idea into reality.

On the other hand these technologies/framework also has a name, and when you hear it for the first time in your wildest guess you will not understand what it's all about. "Pascal" it sounds like a name, "Cobol", "Foxpro"; well not sure what these can be and out of the many terms, the best of the lot is "C"; it's not even a word. This trend didn't change with today's languages and technologies as well. "Java", "C#", "Cocoa" to name a few. And according to me we also have a contender here too, "Ruby on Rails", it sounds like a story.

There can be others, but for the first time we can hear a buzz called "Big Data". And to our surprise you do not have to wonder with the query "Now, what's this new baby?". It talks about huge, big, simply lots of data and it's name speaks the same.

The closest I could dare to explain "Big Data" would be "It's a datset so big and complex that it becomes difficult to process, analyse, visualise using available database management tools"

This data originates from many sources including the digital footprints of each individual connected to the vast world by some means or the other. This majorly includes his/her interaction with TV, Mobile, Purchase Medium, Internet including likes/unlikes in social media domain and many more.

Companies has already started investing on "Big Data" by providing solutions to curb this problem. Microsoft with SQL Server 2012 and HDInsight is 100% Apache compatible "Hadoop" distribution. Also, IBM is doing significant work on this as well focussing on "volume", velocity" & "variety" of Big Data.

One thing for sure, whatever we do will all stay preserver for future,  to analyze and predict.

keep exploring ...

equation of equality

It has been increasingly evident with time that the fight for equality is profoundly on. The roar rocks one with its reckless rebuke when either sex embarks on proving a point.  The society at large likes the notion of  " M = W " [ where ' M ' signifies 'man' and ' W ' being 'woman' ] The equation is simple and straight, but somewhere it remains un-understood and this failure to understand fuels for a greater unequal society, where respect trail rebellion. So, let's look back to the equation once again and this time with the intention of changing it a bit. The perception of equality doesn't lie in standing apart and comparing but it's more about standing together and working through life. So keeping this thought in mind the equation could be changed as: " MW = p " [here 'p' is constant and referred as 'partnership'] Everything that we accomplish in life is an individual part played to achie...

tic-Tech-toe

It sounds like an interesting point in the world of technology where innovations almost covering the complete spectrum of life which ever way we see. And it's not only about today, the coming days will be equally interesting and breathtaking. To start with "Apple". This company has been up to an innovation spree, and so just looking at the link will give a fare idea of the patents this company has filed and these patents will be a reality in the days to come in the form of Phone, Tablet, TV, Watch or a complete new product line. Slowly but silently "Samsung" is also coming up with some really cool innovations in the field of flexible displays under the brand name " YOUM "  thus introducing to the world a whole new form-factor with endless possibilities. So, as Google gears up with "KitKat" the next Android OS after "Jelly Beans" and also it's much awaited Google Glass , Motorola with it's latest phone " ...

manipulative alphabet

What you think and what you say was never the same. At times it may, but never always. Some things which are quite predominant but hastily stated otherwise. Maybe it has a reason in a situation or for that matter just showing one in high light. What ever be the case there is always a “ manipulative alphabet ” hanging nearby.  So, should we use that “alphabet”? Well friend, anything that is done without hurting, is allowed. Quite diplomatic huh!. Can’t help, actually that’s what “freedom of speech” is. Well talking about “freedom of speech”, recently there was a roar about this and in the process we could see and hear a lot of brouhaha. For a moment, I also thought of pitching in with my so called “expert comments” but later decided that let the topic settle down and marinate. Sorry to sound like a self proclaimed chef but you get the point. “the pointless fight”, “the in for injustice lot”, “the careless and proud to be carefree”, “the deceptive dominance”, “the cham...
