What we did not immediately understand was if mobile computing was an accessory, or a replacement, for the traditional desktop machines. I contend that mobile computing devices like our phones are the next wave in personal computing. They continue the trend of laptops by being smaller and portable, and exceed by having near ubiquitous Internet access, and by being so portable they can fit in your pocket. However, not everything about mobile computing devices is better.
[...] Processors are getting faster, storage is getting cheaper, and battery life is getting better. All the signs point to the scenario described above coming closer to being reality, and Ubuntu’s phone push is one more piece of the puzzle falling into place. Now, the question of course, is, are we ready for the future today? Is the mobile hardware we have available to us today capable of replacing a laptop or desktop computer? I would say no, but it is not too far off.

Το cloud computing (υπολογιστικό νέφος) θεωρείται το κλειδί στην ενδυνάμωση κατανεμημένων πληροφοριακών συστημάτων και εφαρμογών. Το ίδιο ισχύει και για την ανάπτυξη μοντέλων και υπολογιστικών εφαρμογών ανοικτού κώδικα. Οι αλληλεπιδράσεις τους όμως δεν έχουν ακόμα διερευνηθεί και αξιοποιηθεί πλήρως.
The results from 2013 International Space Apps Challenge are incredible. More than 9,000 hackers, designers, and explorers in 83 cities and from all corners of the world made this the largest hackathon in history. An unbelievable 770 solutions were submitted, and thousands of people worked together to address challenges and create immeasurable amount of enthusiasm and investment in exploration.
Of those solutions, 134 were nominated for global recognition. Over the past few weeks we have reviewed each and every one of them, a truly inspirational process. A panel of judges consisting of representatives from NASA and other governmental and non-governmental organizations evaluated the top solutions, and today we are announcing the six best in class winners.

- Best Use of Hardware
- Best Mission Concept
- Galactic Impact
