Self-Policing Cloud Computing. Cloud computing presents inherent privacy dangers, because the cloud provider can see a customer’s data and leased computational apparatus, known as “virtual machines.” New research suggests that as long as the cloud can see things, it might as well check that its customers aren’t running malicious code, new research suggests. Researchers at IBM’s Watson Research Center in Yorktown, NY, and IBM’s Zurich Research lab have developed a system for cloud computing “introspection monitoring,” in which elements of the cloud would act as a kind of virtual bouncer.

They’d frisk virtual machines to check what operating systems they’re using, whether they are running properly, and whether they contain malicious code, such as root-kits. “It works by looking inside the virtual machine and trying to infer what it does. The work by IBM was one of several papers presented last Friday at the ACM Cloud Computing Security Workshop, a first-of-its-kind event. The Wonderful World of 2D and 3D Fractal Geometry - Pxleyes.com Blog. Fractals are shapes that can be split into several parts and every part is a reduced size of the whole.

They usually have fine structures at arbitrarily small scales, being too irregular to be described in traditional Euclidean geometric language. Fractals have an infinite complexity and it’s almost impossible to reproduce such a complicated image. In the last decade fractals gained a lot of popularity, especially that now they can be generated with special software or created in other digital manners.

For the ones who don’t own such software or haven’t learned how to use it yet, know that fractals can be quite easily found in nature too, and artistically expressed through photography.
