Outside Silverlight (then moonlight outside)
It is rumored that after you remove Flash support from Adobe for the booming mobile devices and tablets, Microsoft kills in childhood Silverlight , or should we say the truth is HTML5 which eliminates all the competition embedded in Web documents
... And kill Mono / Moonlight HTML5-CSS3's combinaditos, JScript, the scripting python, perl, php, xml, QML.
Mono can not handle monoandroid / MonoTouch displace Dalvik / ObjectiveC.
Mono only survives in GNOME 3 shell through C #, but it can not with VirtualBox and Linux Mint 12 does not want to adapt (the Mint in popularity exceeding Ubuntu after 6 years as long Distrowatch.com ).
Novell abandoned what continues Xamarin Did Miguel de Icaza is offered to program for Windows 8?
Mono plugin for VisualStudio 2011 C # to help with carrying the skeletal XNA for gamers to KinectSDK.
Mono was not born to be alone, leaning on the universal standard bytecode. NET, but it is just like any monomial. The cloud and the scripting steals the bride surfer.
Dennis Ritchie
We know that working at the patent office of AT & T. Not so well known is that his inventions are encodings such as those undertaken an artist on the canvas with great simplicity where there is great complexity, synthesizing many previous efforts.
How booting Haiku
English is correct and accurately lists: BIOS, MBR, partition, boot and kernel.
It also explains the process of installing the usual alpha 3 now.
Linux and comes to 5.3% share of users
This is July 2011, three years ago was stuck in a consolidated 0.5% compared to Windows XP and Vista recently implemented. Linux has made progress paqueterías PPA, marketing ubuntero, users always willing to explain, scheduling, document and work with the rookies. Although GNOME3 has its shortcomings, advances in the kernel, free graphics drivers, the current KDE 4.7 and its libraries, browsers like Firefox, Opera and Chrome and software of all kinds become more and more polished have made GNU / Linux thing progresses to running DX11 and OpenGL. The jump they have measured on w3schools though they focus on development rather than casual surfers. According NetApplications Linux is stuck at 1% and although a self viewed from the cognitive ability that there is a gulf of difference in the rate at which packets and make off cosmetic changes and interface code in Linux Mint for example , and the slowness of Windows 7, the Redmond giant, as much as 64-bit applications abound particular, the availability of hardware support slowing in MinWin-NT and so can also be seen but a common hobby of both operating system platforms cell phone interface to take over the heart of ARM, but that is inevitable and irremediable.
The gradual extinction of dedicated discrete northbridge
Until x86_64 on the desktop, the chipset on the north side controlled the RAM bus (FSB), AGP video bus and PCI bus system.
The shift in production by 2003 AMD integrated the memory controller in the microprocessor and communication via the HT bus, PCI Express PCI relegated by serial bus and AGP x8 disappears also starts to be integrated into the motherboard GPU (IGP) introduced in the northbridge by passing control to the VGA port, DVI and HDMI.
Southbridge is assigned to PCI, IDE, S-ATA, USB, audio, COM, LPT, PS / 2.
Fusion APU in 2011 once again innovate to AMD (as in 2008 when he rode two die DualCore Intel for Penryn launched AMD quadcore and 4-core Phenom monolithic) GPU integrating in the same package that contains the 2 or 4 CPU cores and integrating the northbridge itself is thus only a southbridge-Hudson is his name on the mainboard, and the APU holder: CPU, IGP, BMI, chipset communicating with HT RAM and ports IGP graphics for the PCIe 2.0 also commands North Bridge integrated into the APU.
The graphic execution speeds are increased TDP and power consumption drops from 32/40 nm chip current and recent generation RadeonHD 6500.
Intel anticipated the merger in 2010 with its Westmere and Arrandale but not yet integrated the chipset and Sandy Bridge now in the mainboard chipset P67 upper-middle range of micro override the IGP graphics output and do not allow preventing the use of improved resources renderer and low watts dissipated.
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.
"More than 550,000 Android devices are activated every day through a network of 39 manufacturers and 231 distributors," said the manager of Google.

Harsh criticism of GNOME 3 Linus Torvalds
Gnome 3
The audience in the world of operating systems is not easy nor conciliatory. If we were to compare it with other audiences, we might recall the behavior of the people attending the theater to interact with the actors, throwing vegetables, laughing, in short, have a party. In the case of the reception and appreciation of the operating systems things are not so festive. As the level of demand that will account for the developers is so high that they often fail to live up to the occasion.
A little this is what Linux Torvalds has acknowledged Linux, when a statement to Google + had no qualms about criticizing his own creation, the first version of the latest GNOME, ie 3. Interesting to note how the creator is separated from its inception, noting the deficiencies, errors and problems that it has.
Now the question we must ask is whether these criticisms are genuinely motivated, then we should recognize the attitude of Torvalds, which has not been afraid to reduce the success of your product so to be honest and transparent. Or, if those criticisms are actually the product of listening to a poor reception by the public demanding users. Read more
MS-DOS and 30 years
MS-DOS
In terms of innovation and technological development there is a category that has a particular accent: the progress. This is due to the temporary array which is anchored in the idea of technique and technology. We refer, of course, the continuous matrix, ascending and linear time for understanding the technique as a relative term, functional, relational, which is never still and never stops moving. This movement has a meaning, with guidance. And the horizon is the future, where we imagine improved, fulfilled, happy.
In this context it may be off screen something like the word "past" or the word "been." What interest have been in a discussion about innovation, new, on what does not imitate any model past? Clearly, in the midst of this discussion the past only with the face may appear sentimental, with the figure of what once was and never will be.
This is now the debate on the anniversary of MS-DOS, which has cumplico 30 years.
Opeartivo system was however not created exactly 30 years ago, is celebrated for what it is rather the birth of a trademark, the acquisition by Microsoft for an operating system that had been written by your program under another name .

Alyun OS
Alyun OS
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
OCU Microsoft for monopolistic complaint
Microsoft in the crosshairs
When one speaks of a monopoly and culture tend to think of as traditional areas such as cinema, Hollywood's major corporations, the mass media, within which are the giants who communicate via newspapers, radio stations, TV channels and so on. That's called for many years, "cultural industry". The idea of the culture industry was a paradoxical identity, anchored in what is often seen as an oxymoron. For this kind of ideas are sought perience the process of subsumption of culture by private capital. Ownership in few hands of the production and dissemination of cultural messages brought many people to emit cries of outrage by a process to destroy the real danger cultural democracy.
In this case we will refer to this term compound, paradoxical, torn, but to think a different field of culture, not so traditional: the field of operating systems. Why do we say that belongs to the world of culture? Since operating systems are languages with grammars full of codes, implemented, worldview enable users to use them.
Hence, if we must speak of monopoly and culture in this area, we can not but mention the paradigmatic case of Microsoft, and the spurious link that computer manufacturers have with the company. In recent days, the Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU) has decided to address the National Competition Commission to investigate Microsoft and see if there is any practice by the company contrary to the rules of competition .
