Google's BigQuery brings big data to the cloud

While most of the talk around big data assumes such systems will be deployed in-house, Google is building a service that will allow for analyzing large amounts of data in the cloud.

The service, called BigQuery, would help organizations analyze their data without the need for building infrastructure, explained Google product manager Ju-Kay Kwek, speaking at the GigaOm Structure Data conference being held this week in New York.

With BigQuery, "you can build applications and share data all as a service," Kwek said. Google now offers the service in a limited preview mode for a handful of customers. Kwek did not say when the service would be fully available.More...

Firefox 11 Has Launched With Many Fixes and Bugs

Download Mozila Firefox 11 For Windows, Mac and Linux. Most of us do remember the time there were not so many updates released by Mozilla Firefox and Google and users had to wait almost forever for developers to come up with a newer browser version. That time has gone. Mozilla is now releasing updates one after the other with very small intervals between each.

It was less than two months when Mozilla’s development team released Firefox version 10 solving many security issues that were a concern to many as well as adding many features of which are CSS3 3D transforms and anti-aliasing for WebGL. It has only been six weeks now and Mozilla has released a new update, Firefox 11. The update does not really have any outstanding features or enhancements (apart from a few bug fixes) but can be classified as more of an evolutionary update rather than a revolutionary one. The secret behind the release of this update may be simply to keep up with Google which is also pumping Chrome browsers too frequently.More...
