#Google powers up highly scalable cloud-based Nosql database Google has introduced a new cloud-based Nosql database powered by Bigtable that is automatically scalable and designed specifically for large-scale implementations with an eye on the Internet of things.
Cloud Bigtable runs on Google's powerful Bigtable data storage system that already powers Gmail, Google search and Google analytics plus there's the added bonus that it's compatible with the Apache HBASE API.
The latter configuration means that it can be used with almost all existing applications in the Hadoop system whilst at the same time supporting Google's own Cloud Dataflow.
Google boasts that the solution offers its customers single-digit millisecond latency and double the performance per dollar when set against HBASE and Cassandra, according to Tech Crunch.
Cloud Bigtable is by no means Google's first trip into the cloud-based Nosql database space.
but is rather different in that it targets read-heavy workloads for mobile and web apps.
Google Cloud platform product manager told Tech Crunch, adding that many customers start on Cloud Datastore
Google is offering Cloud Bigtable in beta right now and until it is released fully there is no service level agreement or technical support available l

#The iphone 6s release date has leaked, but no points for guessing it Apple is set to launch two new phones at the start of September in the form of the iphone 6s and iphone 6s Plus,
with an announcement heavily rumoured for September 9. Two out of the three major carriers in Germany have told German publication Macerkopf that both phones will be ready to pick up in store on September 18.
It makes sense as it'll be the second Friday after the announcement-that's the date Apple has been letting its phones loose on the wider public in recent years.
Germany is a first-tier launch country for the iphone so it's likely many other countries will get the phone on the same day.
These countries include Australia, Canada, France, Hong kong, Japan, Singapore, the UK and the US. At the moment rumours of the iphone 6s suggest the design will stay the same with big changes coming in the form of the A9 processor

Black Friday deals in 2015 will lead to the biggest day of spending the internet has seen ever It's now only 71 days until Black Friday!
On Black Friday last year, websites crashed, sales records were smashed and shoppers ravenously scooped up deals on tech, games and clothing in
while GAME's website was selling PS4 and Xbox One consoles to British gamers at a rate of 3, 600 per hour.
of which the internet had seen never before. So what's in store for Black Friday 2015? Well despite MPS having urged UK retailers to boycott Black Friday this year,
The numbers on Black Friday in 2014 were so big that websites fell over like Victorian ladies on a hot day, with HP, Best Buy, Currys, Tesco, Argos,
Boots and Game's websites all requiring smelling salts. The Currys website in the UK crashed
despite the company having implemented a system where users had to queue to use it,
And while Black Friday chaos online led to websites crashing, bedlam on the highstreet tends to be a lot more troublesome.
Clearly-it's much safer to stay at home and pick up your deals on the internet, and that's what the majority of people did on Black Friday 2014.
To give you an idea of just how busy the sites were, John Lewis and Currys-two of the UK's biggest retail websites-both saw their web traffic triple compared to Black Friday 2013.
Meanwhile, Techradar's own Black Friday pages attracted more than 1. 6 million page views. So it's no exaggeration to say that the pre-Christmas retail landscape was changed forever on November 28 last year.
they would lose out on footfall or website hits in a key spending weekend.""The upshot?
because they expect that we'll buy more than one item once we're on their site.

#Europe is targeting Google under antitrust laws but missing the bigger picture Google it today and youl see that the European commission has turned up the heat in its long-running probe into anti-competitive behaviour by the web most popular search engine.
EC competition chief, Margrethe Vestager, issued formal objections alleging that Google abuses its dominant position in the market of eneral internet search In particular,
the EC claims that Google artificially boosts its own products in returning Google comparison shopping results in its service oogle Shopping
even if those products aren the best or cheapest the ost relevant as the Commission puts it for consumers.
Since taking office in November 2014 Vestager has made the Google inquiry a top priority, signalling a willingness to consider court battles
and hefty fines if Google and other digital giants don fall into line with European competition law.
In this, she has displayed a distinct shift from her predecessor, Joaquín Almunia, whose multiple attempts to achieve private settlement with Google fell apart a year ago,
before descending into a political and economic boxing match. Vestager announcement comes amidst increasing restlessness by European policymakers that omething must be doneabout Google.
Identifying with precision the source of that anxiety, and the appropriate focus of action, is rather more challenging.
It focuses on the first and clearest of a number of complaints filed in 2009-10 by various Google competitors-from other giants, such as Microsoft, to small, struggling or defunct web businesses.
These complaints range from the EC current focus on Google prioritisation of its own products within vertical search services (currently,
to issues with Google scraping and fencing of datasets, often exclusively and at unmatched scale.
