Android competition complaint
Enraged Android
If the operating system market is generally a hostile and highly competitive market, what can we say about the mobile operating system market? That everything is intensified more. No doubt about it. And if you still do not believe in this statement, the information that I will now discuss them aware of the degree of competition that makes the world of OS for smartphones.
As you know Android is an operating system created by the people at Google are the following characteristics: it is a concept designed for mobile use and features an open source enables users to act as developers and transformers system used.
For this reason, and a large advertising campaign, no doubt-that Android managed to position itself in the most privileged in smartphone operating systems.
Since its debut in 2008, Android has grown to become the most popular operating system in the world for "smartphones" with a market share of 48%, according to the second quarter of the consulting firm Canalys.

Goodbye to OpenSolaris
OpenSolaris no more
The rumor was confirmed. When Oracle bought Sun, some feared for the continuance of OpenSolaris. A few months ago a change in the license revived these fears, and now finally been confirmed in an internal memo from Oracle.
The good side of the news is that this will not mean not to free software development by Oracle, or the end of a free version of Solaris. Say, the politics of open source, licensed under the CDDL (Common Development and Distribution License, incompatible with the GPL), will continue as before, and continue to contribute to other free software projects like GNOME, Perl or Apache.
As for the free version, Oracle Solaris 11 Express intended to replace the OpenSolaris systems with a free license and optional support. The idea is that eventually these systems will migrate to Solaris 11, which itself will pay.
This decision Oracle also has its bad side. Now, all the open source Solaris will only be accessible through an internal network, which have access only approved customers. This means that, even despite being mostly free, will only see certain people Solaris code. Truly a loss, because with OpenSolaris anyone could see and explore all that much code. Read more
