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.

Newsflash: Higgs Boson likely found (updated)

Preliminary data from the ATLAS experiment at CERN suggests the Higgs Boson has been identified.
Physicists will generally require a confidence level of 3 sigma (standards deviations) to suggest the existence of an event and 5 sigma (along with independent verification) to assert that the event is highly likely. Thus they are making no claim of certainly (yet).
Currently being announced live at a presentation from CERN in Switzerland, particle physicists express optimism that they have identified the likely mass of the Higgs Boson and also the typical decay paths.
A previous informal announcement claiming a discovery with an estimated mass of 115GeV has almost certainly been discredited.
The second presenter (Guido Tonelli) representing the CMS experiment at CERN was able to advise the audience that they found similar data - with a probably event around 124GeV, but currently with somewehat lower confidence levels and thus they were unwilling to make the same kinds of assertions that were heard from the ATLAS team.
You think you have a disaster recovery plan?
Think again. Most businesses only have PART of a DR plan - and this spells business disaster in the event of an IT disaster.
