I am new to cloud field, i want to know what it is from basic?
What are its advantages?
How it comes to use in real life?
Comparison with the existing technologies.

Cloud computing isn't a technology, it's a concept.
It means all your data (documents, photo's, music and even applications) is stored on a central server ('the cloud'). The advantage of this is that you can access your personal stuff from all your devices. If you want to listen to your music from a computer or some other device: no problem, since it's all 'in the cloud'.

I am looking for a commercial-strength system that can provide me with product activation technology that is as convenient as possible for end users. Up until now I have been using the simplest system imaginable, where users get a key that is based on their name that they can use an unlimited number of times. This is more symbolic than anything else as users are able to pass their keys around freely, which they do. So I am wondering if there are any recommendations towards system that is well tested and widely used and works with C++ on Win32, but not cracked? I don't want to come up with a home made solution as I am no security expert, and do not have the time to learn the ins and outs of it.

Since this post is over 3 years old now, I was wondering if anyone was aware of any open web services out there where live sports scores can be downloaded from.
Any demos or sample code would be great.
Thanks!
http://www.sportsdatallc.com/ is the best place I have found. They are expensive if you want realtime stats, but they have everything, and seem to be reliable.
If you want something free, then try ESPN APIs, but they do not yet offer score. They do offer team and player stats at the moment, however. I imagine they will eventually open up scores to the public.

I like Clojure the programming language. I'm interested in getting a list of companies that use Clojure for their development. Where can I get such a list?
Many companies are listed here: http://www.quora.com/Which-startups-are-using-Clojure

I remember seeing some software applications demos before where they don't have any narration but just a background music played (no words, just the acoustic)...but i was never able to know the name of them. Any suggestions? It was pretty fast paced...or if you could kindly provide a link to some demo, I can try to search by voice...
Thanks
You might try http://www.ambientmusicgarden.com/. They have a lot of low-cost-royalty music which you can browse through based on several criteria. I first encountered them when the engineers at NASA did a really cool video montage of various launches and they used musci from there for their background.

I'm looking at a massive set of ejabberd logs, and I'm trying to pry out some useful information from them. Are there any existing tools that can help me get some of the work done, or am I left to roll my own?
What are the type of information you are looking in the logs ?
For ejabberd platform analysis, there is an ejabberd monitoring solution called TeamLeader ( http://www.process-one.net/en/solutions/teamleader/ ) but this might be overkill.
