Do some of your closest friends live far, far away? You probably connect through email or Facebook status updates, perhaps the odd telephone marathon over a glass of wine. Wouldn’t it be better to connect face-to-face?
Other than flying across the country for an in-person hug, nothing beats video chatting for closing the distance. If you’re...

If ever there was a catchword in the tech-o-sphere, it’s Cloud Computing. Cloud computer, cloud storage, iCloud. You’ve probably found yourself nodding knowingly when it comes up in conversation, but really thinking, what the heck is The Cloud?
