If there is a market that is diverse, fragmented, and made an object of desire for thousands and thousands of businesses, that is without doubt the market for operating systems. At some point will have been a fertile ground for investment, but after the advent of Windows, Android, IOS, to name the best known, is very difficult to get a good slice in this economic arena where competition appears to be fierce, and the intensity of which there would be signs that decline.
Now, if this description be taken out the conclusion that this market is closed in this market that things are already prescribed as if it were a fate would distort the most important aspects of the situation. And this is precisely what they understood in China to make the Asian market and launch a new operating system that will seek to shed some shadow on the body of the great competitors in the market so far have played effective demand.
We're talking about Alyun OS, a new fighter that although power to try to kill current OS, it will do from one type of strategy that we would call "parasite style" to the extent that borrowing has made several ideas Android .
The operating system bet big decision to the clouds and applications. Promises in their mission statements to spare users the trouble of having to download programs to use them on your computer. Read more
HP will expand the WebOS desktop PC
WebOS
The phenomenon of migration of technologies to different media is a fact that nobody can deny. The "transmedia" can be verified in different areas of contemporary culture. But if there is a place where these mutations occur paradigmatically, that place is the market of operating systems and communication in general goods.
It turns out that in recent days has made public the news that HP tries to migrate the webOS, the operating system designed by the manufacturer to end smartphones, desktop computers. For what purpose? First could stand the most immediate and most obvious: to expand its market and to offer benefits (which are confined mostly to the excellent design) to daily users who use desktop computers.
However, a market analyst now must go further. And since the market is not a space of harmony but is made up of forces in battle, more substantial reason for this decision by HP has to be in his quest to make it a little shade to the competition. In that sense, offer far higher WebOS users ever makes sense to put it in relation to market participants today enjoy a leading position: Google, Apple and Microsoft. Read more

And yes, who could doubt at this point this would happen. What do we mean? In the new commitment of Google to an extension of the markets it seeks to control and an extension of their interests. Is that if you do this, we are behind, and if it does, you lose all the gains so far. Risk-keyword if any in our day-then the strategy is smarter than Google can take.

With the start of the conference is eagerly awaited by fans of Google, the news has not been long in coming. In many specialized blogs we can find several comments, insights and judgments of approval. In a society where information flows unchecked, the news no longer the prey of journalists, and becomes food for laymen and initiates.
A "news" has transcended relatively interesting that the Google I / O 2011, was the release of Android 3.1 Honeycomb, an incremental update of the operating system for tablets.

Journalists who have been privileged to attend the first keynote of the Google I / O 2011 have commented on genuine innovation proposed by Google. We refer to the intention to expand the functions of Android so that the operating system functions for accessories and general operation of our homes. The two tools for this are: Open Accessory and Android Android @ Home.
It would be interesting to think what implications do these two projects, so far available to developers free of charge and free. Indeed, both the Android and the Open Accessory @ Home radicalized to extremes the idea of a link between man and technology.
The first enables developers to create Android, but right accessories that serve to perform different actions, discussed the example of an Android phone placed in a fixed bikes and their subsequent recognition by the terminal necesria application (in this case : a clock with timer, for example).
The second goes further by enabling developers to create applications that enable us to control all functions with Android home, from turning on the TV, increasing the temperature of the home, cooking a meal in the microwave, etc.. Read more
Changes in the IOS interface
IOS Interface
We live in a society of the image. The relationships between the people together, and things are mediated by images. These images are sometimes the result of our mental productions, most not. Forms of production of external images such as film, photography, advertising, television, etc.., We are in our daily act and no one can deny that a world is inconceivable without images. In the world of economics, this is known very well. The world of operating systems is no stranger to it, either.
With this modest situational framework for understanding what we can when we see the image Apple has posted their new patent on potential changes that will suffer the IOS interface in their next releases. Naturally, the competition is tough and not at all oily, and if you want to survive in the market attempt to make as many changes to the image of the product to be the order of the day. With the advancement unleashed Android, IOS has begun to transform their mobile interfaces.
In the picture you can see a background image, which we interpret as an open-ej particular program.: An Agenda-and a subdivision of small images that are embedded in their midst. These mini-images can be read as contacts us, surely we can get moving with our finger to taste and pleasure. Read more
Controversy over the closure of Android 3.0 Honeycomb for tablets
Android 3.0 Honeycomb
The figure of the open source system has awakened from its inception, countless fantasies and desires of the users of cyberspace. Does the realization here and now of the liberal ideals of democracy? Is the possibility of giving subjects the coveted right to participation and creation? Is the universal gift of individual production? When Android was designed, there were not listening to these questions, and keep coming up today.
With the news that Google clausuraría the open source Android 3.0 Honeycomb to not experience the same on the outside of the platform that was originally thought (tablets), all these desires seem to collapse at the mere factuality of economic power . Google agents have justified the decision with the strange argument that the results of rampant experimentation with Android out of the tablets, for example: mobile-were "unpredictable."
Not the first time the inclusion of people into a right to participate freely in a content is then hidden by the detrimental effects that such inclusion would bring to the ultimate goals of any company. However, this phenomenon, which should not make a dramatic reading or fatalistic, it does tell us of a certain naivete that is distilled from the questions above. Read more
