Jolicloud ceases to be an OS for an application
We hear about Jolicloud, so all those owning a netbook vigilant, since sure this article will be useful.
As you know, Jolicloud began as a unique operating system for netbooks that aimed mainly to give some shade to Windows. With an interface developed with HTML 5 open for update and synchronization of applications installed, and based on the Chrome browser, the Jolicloud appeared as a simple alternative, basic economic and other operating system options.
Another dimension that attracted the community was the fact that Jolicloud count with a very sharp look of the new forms of socialization on the web. So is that we should understand the value acquired by the Social Steam as a means in which Jolicloud users worldwide can contact and recommended applications, sharing opinines and doubts, and so on.
Perhaps the only limitation of the system was only allowed to use web applications, but with this was enough to generate a large reception in the audience of users.
Well, the news that we come to share here is that Jolicloud will be renamed Joli OS, and the original name that characterized the operating system will be donated to a simple Web application that everyone can download Chrome Web Store. Read more
¿Open Playbook Android apps?
¿Playbook with Android?
In the world of market applications and mobile devices could be said that no longer exist as itching to strategic moves. Everything is permitted provided that the actions are justified from the standpoint of the universal goal of maximizing the income of this month.
This has been expressed in the commercial arrangements that have been conducted recently Nokia and Microsoft. Much has been made anywhere on this agreement and also on the readings that have been made from the specialized journalism in relation to this. Well, today we discuss another story quite like the one mentioned in this paragraph. But now what we have to note is that Blackberry applications start running Android.
Such things are so much more confusing than they are. Well the truth is that only the new tablet Blackberry, the playbook, you have the option of providing their users to download applications originating operating system for smart phones from Google.
In principle fans Blackberry users may be offended, because somehow the terminals generate their fanaticism and enmity corporate business leads to generate also "hatred" between the followers of these companies.
However, if you think about it, it realizes that this could bring many benefits to the user.
For, as many already know, the difference of applications offered by Blackberry and Android is abysmal.

Comments on Cairo, the new environment for Windows
Cairo Shell: for now, only in English
Perhaps to save us from a possible schizophrenia, desktop environments like the one we discuss in this article offer more than one reason to give them a chance. I refer to Cairo, an environment for Microsoft Windows that enables us to pretend that we Gnome 2.x users of GNU / Linux.
Many users have the two operating systems on one computer, or more than one computer in which they have installed different OSes, like myself. The truth is that at such a duality, the user may be confused by more than one case. That is why we can be very useful Cairo. Let us review some complications that have arisen in their use.
The desktop environment is a great product. In fact, is in its alpha stage, it is tested, and it shows in more than a detail. If we need to clarify briefly what are the major problems of this project, we could talk first of a large redundancy into aspects that are not worth it.
For example, Cairo offers, added to the bottom bar of Windows, a second bar that marks this new environment. To overlap with the original Windows user can not get to understand what kind of benefit is obtained.
It would also be appropriate to speak of the dimension of stability. For Cairo does not work very well on Windows versions available today. For Windows 7 things are going well. The problem is when we try in Windows XP.
Finally, another problem is found when installing applications. Read more
Security holes in Linux
Linux and malware threats
The reasons why much of the community tends increasingly to switch to Linux are various. One has to do with the comparison between the security it can offer, perhaps Microsoft Windows operating system more "popular" by default-and the kind of experience we offer GNU / Linux. It is common knowledge that if there is an easy target for malware that is Windows.
However, this can not lead to a blind fanaticism on the part of users, as every system has a dark side, weak, weak. The moment which becomes the castle-like house of cards says a Radiohead song. And this has been evidenced in the last ShmooCon hacker conference. It could be demonstrated with Pen in hand, even GNU / Linux had cracks which could happen to a hazard.
The cause is located in the Evince, the package would generate a Thumbnail that would enable you to install an exploit that would eventually take over the system with the help, unintentional, the user. Read more
The OS for guitarists
gnuguitarinux
The word "user" is much more abstract than it seems at first appear. Because behind it there is an infinite variety and preferences at all comparable. Is that when we talk about "users" are generalizing a group that itself is fractured, divided, multiplied by their interests and ways of addressing the experience of navigating the operating system.
Thus it is appropriate for the market to diversify in order to make the user category something more concrete. In that case we can say that there are Windows users, Linux users, and so with each OS. But today we want to discuss is the operating system intended for a very precise area of society, limited, but always present: the musicians. And if you ask us to be even more specific, we might say, guitarists.
We speak, of course, the GNUGuitarINUX, Linux OS for guitarists who are just starting in the music world and want to pursue his musical project from a recording of a disc. The software that we use in this OS for these targets are the TuxGuitar or Audacity, although the offer is far more plurívoca.
The importance of this proposal is that Linux is not done under the cloak of no interest to spurious contamination of the great idea of the project. For the GNUGuitarINUX allowing is to ensure that at the time of the recording there is no operational problem that we ruin the recording. Read more
Spyware and other malicious found in Mac OS X
Dangers of an operating system
Often small events, unconscious acts, slips, or seemingly insignificant, say many more truths than a statement or a voluminous treatise on a particular issue. Here is a small anecdote. Anecdote which extramos several consequences and helps us to reflect on the trigger, why not, a lesson that we should serve all in the use of operating systems.
Yesterday was published a story that had some significance in the journalistic world in which it was said that Google will stop using Windows computers using their employees. When it was published this news could not understand why he had acted in this way. However, the recognition of spyware and other malicious applications in Mac OS X by the people of Intego has been able to shed some light on this mystery.
It turns out that this is separated from spyware and other malicious viruses so far known for his dramatic timing and hazardous congenital your state of constant motion. Better known as OSX / OpinionSpy, this spyware and other malicious activated in the very action of downloading applications. Stonily is not given in the application before the arrival of the agent to download, but exists in the act of downloading. Read more
ErrMsg: Error message decoder for Windows
ErrMsg or hermeneutics of the error message
Clearly, Windows is not related to their mistakes as something external, alien, contingent. We could say that his own regularity is based on the ratio of internal errors that need to break in your day to day use and administration. In this sense, has come to light-an application that-while not addressing deeper understanding of these errors, we would like symptoms ie to interpret them and head towards the possible causes: ErrMsg.
The ErrMsg is a very simple program. Not required to be installed. Fully is located under the heading of "tool". A tool is something we carry with us in our bags in our backpacks, our traveling luggage. But while this is simply a means instrumentable for something else. Well, the ErrMsg is a system of relations of elements covered by codes (data base) that plays intelligently, hieroglyphic figures which appear in the windows error windows.
Figures as we usually do not know or understand what the number that appears in the error message. Read more
Tucan Manager: download manager simple and effective for all operating systems
Tucan Manager Download Manager
Today I will discuss a download manager that, by its simplicity and effectiveness has left me fascinated. I'm talking about Tucan Manager, which has been developed especially for maintaining orderly discharge, and that is evident as we begin to use it.
Evidently the Tucan has not discovered the powder to provide such services, since there are already thousands of programs that can create and automate queue of files to be uploaded or downloaded from servers such as RapidShare, Mediafire, Megaupload, just to name a few . However, it has certain features that ultimately raise the profile of this nice program. To begin, I will say that the application has versions for both Linux and Windows and Mac, and performs his work without having to rely on virtual machines (Java) or runtimes (. NET).
As I said, what interested me most is his rapidiez the Toucan and how easy it is for the user to use.
At the same time, we offer a uniquely-effective ability to save us the trouble of typing captchas required to access the files on some sites like Megaupload.
In closing, I again emphasize that this free application called Tucan Manager can be used on both Mac OS X, and Linux and Windows.

Instant Elevator Music
There is a phenomenon which, so to speak, is at the heart of late modernity and seems to have been radicalized to the extreme by Web 2.0: the intensity increased time.
No doubt that the technical-industrial development has helped our times are faster, that things must be done quickly, and that delays are convicted. The rationalization of time is the maximization of temporal economy of our private lives and public life of our society.
Web 2.0 has done nothing to bring to its ultimate consequences of this phenomenon, allowing in this technological revolution unprecedented sensitivity to the problem of waiting. The computers in recent years and appear to us as prehistoric phase in which dinosaurs lived in eternal struggle.
The Instant Elevator Music (EMI) for Windows, is a product of the specificity of our digital age. Read more
