Google App Engine Analysis: in depth look

So the Google App Engine is finally here, and the first thing that you will need to know is that it is solely aimed at Amazon Web Services. As Google are better at these kinds of things, it will not be long before Amazon users will jump ship and go over to using the Google App Engine.

What gives this new application an advantage? well Ars Technica aims to give you that answer with their in depth review.

They found that Google’s API has access to the storage capacity and processing power of Google’s servers and this is very clever as when Google developed this software, they gave developers the ability to create web page applications which have been programmed with Python code, and you can then upload it and run it on Google’s servers.

It’s not all good, Ars Technica said “The downsides to this program are fairly apparent. First, developers must write all of their code in Python. While Python is a great dynamic language with a robust standard library, and over 15 years of active development, there will be some prospective users who would rather deploy their code in a different language.” Check out their full review here

The Google App Engine really is a great application; why not give it a try and tell us what you think just visit Google

solar powered Automower

Husqvarna are the world’s largest lawnmower manufacturer that has just launched the world’s first automatic electric solar powered hybrid robotic lawn mower in the UK .

Working autonomously, the lawnmower will cut up to 2300 square metres of grass and can be programmed to come on at certain times or days of the week.

The auto mower also has sensors in the device so it can avoid garden furniture.

The mower will cut for around 40 minutes, and then charge for 40 minutes in its charging station, however Husqvarna say that using the solar panels on a sunny day will mean the device will be able to stay out cutting for up to 50% longer.

I think that this is a great idea I hate cutting my grass.

What do you think of the idea?
