1 Dear students,
I looked at bloxtr and it looks to me like you have just hosted eyeOS on a
website. What have you built over it?

4 Hello, Hey Amit you havnt got the clear picture about bloxtr.com, They are
actually promoting eyeOs through their website, and its a noble thing from the
side of students from our rural country side.. dont blame them like that without
going through the whole news.. what they are doing is actually a noble
thing...Let them promote Open Source Tools.....

5 I think what bloxtr is doing is using an open source operating system eyeOS on
the website.. if u login into the website, u can check that even the name is not
changed and will show eyeOS for most of the application. check eyeOS.org ,
there is a demo available on the website.. I have install this application on my
own site www.amitkothari.com/eyeOS/ .. I'm not sure what is so specially about
bloxtr. anyone can download and run this OS.. and its not developed by Ansar or
Ismail....Please visit eyeOS.org for details

7 What the hell is this ..
If bloxter.com is the virtual OS
the what the hell is http://eyeos.org
or check out this demo
http://demo.eyeos.org/

Is this a copy of eyeOS... or r they both in developing group of eyeOS. . I cant
believe I felt so insulted in an online forum where I mentioned this thing
stating is a Indian developed product and in the next moment got to knew that
its eyeOS ...

8 Hello Ismail and Ansar,

Thanks for your idea-a novel one indeed. It really works if implemented well.
But it is novel to the Indian market only. I would like to ascertain that, what
you term as Virtual Compter is not really, a computer, but a kind of storage
device, as it stands now (from what I read from your blog). You may atmost call
it a VHDD (Virtual Hard Disk Drive) or Virtual Drive or Virtual Storage Device
as it stands now. The concept of Virtual Computer has been around since atleast
a year, when engineers in US (and also India) have fabricated what they called a
Web PC. This is really a Virtual Computer, requiring no external CPU box (I mean
a physical device) and monitor (of course, some display has to be there, even a
TV will suffice). This means anyone given access can work on it from anywhere
like they now browse on Internet. They will not need a physical PC anymore. This
is the real Virtual Computer.

The idea of wireless-enabling your concept is very good, and turning it into an
application is a very good way of doing it. It will be something like a
Wi-Storage, or Wi-S for simple. To turn YOUR concept into a Virtual Computer
requires a lot more work that just concentrating on storage alone, you have to
add the power of Wi-Computing or Physical-device-less computing with ALL the
capabilities of a PC or laptop or palmtop.

A lot of literature is already on the Web regarding the Web-PC (the Web-TV was
already in place atleast 4 years ago in US alteast). These ideas may help in
innovating your project into a VC.

Good Luck and hope to see your breakthrough soon!
