Analysing Canada’s cloud to help cure cancer
Is there anything cloud can’t do? Canada is investing in a cloud biotech infrastructure that could potentially help solve one of the worst problems of humankind: cancer.
Sources say that the Canadian government has invested over $6.7m USD into infrastructure that is designed to analyse genetic data that could bring us closer to a cure. The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council first began working on this project and other organisations such as Genome Canada, the Canada Foundation for Innovation and the Canadian Institutes for Health Research have also signed on to help.
The official name of the project will be the Cancer Genome Collaboratory. This cloud computing facility will analyze data from over 500 patients that have specific types of cancer. Researchers believe that the Cancer Genome Collaboratory will help advance our knowledge and give doctors the tools and analytics they need in order to provide treatments …

Dropbox Forced to Kill Shared Links Due to Security Snafu
Oops! Dropbox announced it is killing existing shared links where documents include ordinary hyperlinks to websites. The problem is the plain old referrer in the header tells that website the URL the inbound link came from. That’s a standard way sites know where their non-direct traffic is coming from. In this scenario, however, the referrer is the URL of the shared dropbox document.
The symptom Dropbox users will experience? Complaints from recipients that the link they were given doesn’t work (if in doubt check the link yourself).
From the Dropbox post on the issue:
While we’re unaware of any abuse of this vulnerability, for your safety we’ve taken the following steps to make sure this vulnerability can’t be exploited:
- For previously shared links to such documents, we’ve disabled access entirely until further notice. We’re working to restore links that aren’t susceptible to this vulnerability over the next few days.
- In the meantime, as a workaround, you can re-create any shared links that have been turned off.
- For all shared links created going forward, we’ve patched the vulnerability
Here’s how to rebuild affected links.
Infor CEO Charles Phillips to Keynote at Cloud Expo New York
Businesses have been looking to move more than just their back office applications to the cloud. Yet up to now, mission-critical applications have not been cloud-ready – it’s been a world of point solutions from multiple vendors requiring extensive integration, or cloud applications simply lacked the deep functionality required to meet the unique needs of manufacturers, hospitals, banks, or hotels.
In his Day 3 Keynote at 14th Cloud Expo, Charles Phillips, CEO of Infor, will discuss how enterprise application suites, technology, and economics have finally evolved to realize the vision of the cloud for running the full business – today.
Step back in time: AT&T predicts the cloud in 1993
The concept of cloud computing, or running multiple computational systems on a network, is not a new one, of course. But it’s often fascinating to note the history of computing, from IBM’s 50th anniversary of the mainframe earlier this year to time-sharing on a CPU mainframe.
As a result, a video posted by renowned filmmaker David Hoffman has brought about a fascinating insight on AT&T’s vision of cloud computing as far back as 1993.
“You can think of our electronic meeting place as the cloud”, the video tells AT&T customers.
The video was put up in April last year but came to wider attention after Salesforce.com chief exec Marc Benioff tweeted it out last night:
