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.

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

hp touchpad
The HP Touchpad has had a curious life in the terminal market and global tablets. A few months of being on sale, available to users around the world, has returned to the workshop to a remodeled. Is that OS upgrades are never expect too much. In this case, the update has more to do with the ecosystem of applications and software content than anything else.
This is an agreement made with RoxioNow HP, where HP's tablet will feature an interesting access to films from around the world, music from various record companies, etc.. This means that users of the tablet in question have the ability to access multimedia content, primarily movies, as I said, but also can watch series that will be available for download or online viewing.
Keep in mind, however, that the last option is available only to U.S. users. For the rest, ie all of us will Viewster application, with which we can access movies or TV series but in this case the download is not available.
With this move the rudder, HP significantly improves user experience, showing that it is a company that cares about the constant improvement and progress of their products. Read more
To Boot Gecko (B2G), SO Mozilla
Mozilla Foundation
Is there in the world of operating systems something like a decalogue of what can and what can not be done? Is it frowned upon by the community of developers and users to emulate the practice or copy the idea of competition? Can not read the same practice as a listening and receptivity to innovations that actually benefit the whole society of users and has been developed by another? It is very difficult to answer these questions, especially when we know that in the market, no matter which branch is, there are no clear rules, but many times the code is not written himself participants know intuitively and opaque .
These questions arise in the context of a news story these days has come to light in the small world of blog readers who specialize in operating systems, we refer to the fact that Mozilla is in the process of producing its own operating system. And since the foundation intends to make the best possible way but we have not been able to highlight these issues, which are those that haunt the mind of every developer when creating something new.
Are there any effective global development of the OS? Or rather, there is a copy and recycling of the old? Read more
New Zorin OS 5
Zorin OS 5
As you may know, Zorin OS is a GNU / Linux based on Ubuntu and original main objective was to make migration from Windows to novice users a simple event and away from any kind of trauma. Changes is emphatic, wherever they occur, tend to question the certainties that we held until then. Fear of change is just the reaction to these risks. Zorin OS The idea was from the beginning, encourage users to make changes and migration, naturally in favor of Linux.
Well, a few days ago that has released a new version Zorin OS: Zorin OS 5. And while nobody knew long ago much of what was brewing in Zorin, we can now see why there was no news to date. The intention was to raise expectations from the perspective of the mole, who works in a low and breaks without warning in the present.
And while so far we are able to access the Core version (free) and Ultimate (surcharge), ie, the supply is not very diversified, we managed to say a few words on what until now can be used . Before that, it's important to say that the next versions (Zorin OS 5 Lite, Educational, Business, Multimedia and Gaming) will appear in the coming weeks.
If we were to summarize the news, we could say that providing the user experience (target maximum of this distribution) is carried out from the interface. 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
Paradoxical Restrictions Windows 8
Windows 8
Although since Microsoft is not confirming any of the rumors circulating that come on the web in recent months, one would pay attention as a strategy of information to members who can not hold long news online. As have adopted the strategy of surprise to create greater acceptance by users in their expectation, everything said here will always be taken as conjecture.
Now it has released a novelty on the next Windows 8. That being said this new version no longer count on the "compatibility mode" necessary for users to make use of applications created in previous versions of Windows. This removal of the "backward compatibility" should be judged on what version of Windows 8're talking about: ARM or PCs
In the first case, which is that of the tablets, this deletion is not detrimental to users. Indeed, the tablets which will go towards the latter Windows 8 will be those called "slate" (no keyboard). Here the old applications, which the new restrictions would not work again, do not usually have the best performance. They were designed for computers with mouse and keyboard, so that its translation into ARM equimos always generates conflicts.
In the second case, things are not so simple. Since users actually find it very useful applications using "old". Thus, although the positive reading is said that this restriction will force developers to increase productivity exponentially, is limited to PC users illegitimately.
