Construction needs cloud flexibility
Australia’s embattled construction sector could benefit from cloud based information systems that can be switched on and off in lockstep with individual projects – with the exception of those organisations based in remote areas like the Kimberleys.

Want to see protons collide and, maybe even find the sought-after Higgs boson and become famous (though, probably not). Well, you can do a lot of these things with the new Large Hadron Collider app from Google.
The LHC scientists are looking for the elusive Higgs boson. They say they should find it by next year (2012) or state that it doesn't exist.
It is made by Oxford University and approved by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), where the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) is based.
The app allows users to observe individual protons colliding in 'real time' and in three dimensions, as seen in the LHC particle accelerator.
A game within the app is called "Hunt for the Higgs Boson." The authors of the app state that it is understandable and the instructions are written in plain English, with animated diagrams.
For more on this story, check out the October 10, 2011 International Business Times article 'Large Hadron Collider: Real Time Details Accessible Through App.'
And download the "LHSee" app at AndroidCommunity.com: 'CERN's LHSee app lets you hunt the Higgs Boson from your phone.'
