Restrictions paradoxical in Windows 8
Windows 8
Although Microsoft is not confirmed from any of the rumors that are circulating on the web in recent months, one might pay attention as a strategy of information to its members who can not refrain from largar 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 will not have already with the "compatibility mode" necessary for users to make use of applications created in earlier versions of Windows. This elimination of "backward compatibility" must be judged on what version of Windows 8're talking about: ARM or PCs
In the first case, that is to tablets, this removal does not harm 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 application use "old". Thus, although the positive reading is often said that this restriction will force developers to increase productivity exponentially, is limited to PC users illegitimately.
Doubts about the future of Nokia
Nokia doubts
Since it has become known worldwide trade pact between Nokia and Microsoft in February this year things have not gone as expected from the producer side of telecommunications equipment and gadgets. Indeed, as discussed specialists in economics, the value of the company in the stock market has fallen under. Why should this devaluation? But what strategies are best placed to take this ship afloat in a tailspin? The gossips have begun to suspect that this covenant is merely the preamble to an acquisition by Microsoft of the manufacturer, where the devaluation would be a factor in the stock market predictable and even had the condition in making final decision of the firm Bill Gates.
However, to the extent that we can only stay at the level of speculation about it, discuss in what follows what is the horizon that opens to Nokia in terms of tracing strategies and enhance your brand in the market. The options are as follows.
On one side is Symbian, seconded name not only terminal but also smartphone operating systems.
As discussed several journalists, have a good chance that Nokia will adopt a basic review of the operating system driving significant innovations.

Chromebooks: portability Google

chromebook
And yes, who could doubt at this point this would happen. What do we mean? From Google's new commitment to an extension of the markets it seeks to control and an extension of their interests. Is that if you do not, fall behind, and if it does: it loses all won before. Risk-keyword if any in our day-then the strategy is smarter than Google can take.
We are referring more precisely to Chromebooks, the new way Google has managed to enter the handheld market. We have already said something about this blog, but on the occasion of the conference which has Google as the center of debates around the world conference is taking place these days, can only speak of this again.
As is known, Chromebooks are computers that have an instant start and are focused on working in the cloud just lit, not ever cut the connection. As to the application system, say that all will run from the browser. In this operating system achieves its greatest uniqueness.
But this is not the only way to store applications, because they want to use the old way do pdorán storing local applications using certain technologies HTML5. Read more
New Android 3.1 Honeycomb
Android 3.1 Honeycomb
With the start of the conference's most anticipated 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" that has transcended relatively interesting in the Google I / O 2011, was the release of Android 3.1 Honeycomb, an incremental update of the operating system for tablets.
As for updates to this relaunch, we can say that there is a big bet by Google in the dimension of the user interface: it has become much easier to look at and easier to use, intuitive and fast. Is improved, too, the display of internal storage.
Another point of color is that this new version of Android 3.1 Honeycomb is that adds support for USB accessories. This comes as a corollary that users can now connect any device (from keyboards, mice through to any other object with USB connection).
Also has allowed a flexible extension of the list of applications for improved handling by users.
Finally, it has greatly improved support for Wi-Fi high speed. Read more
Android multi ¿?
Android multifunction
Journalists have been privileged to attend the first keynote of the Google I / O 2011 have discussed the most genuine innovation that Google offers. We refer to the intention of expanding the functions of Android so that the operating system functions for accessories and general operation of our homes. The two tools for this are: Android Open Accessory and 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 Open Accessory such as @ Home radicalized to the extreme the idea of a link between man and technology.
The first enables developers to create Android right accessories but which serve to perform different actions: discussed the example of an Android phone with a bicycle placed in fixed and their subsequent recognition by the terminal necesria application (in this case : a clock 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
Ubuntu 11.10 oneiric Ocelot and his regime of substitutions
Ubuntu 11.10
In this post we'll talk a little about the next version of Ubuntu, which teniene release schedule. We refer to the Ubuntu 11.10 oneiric Ocelot. But before talking about it, let's review the dates specified by those responsible for the development of the various versions of Ubuntu that will happen in the year:
Alpha * 1: June 2
* Alpha 2: June 30
* Alpha 3: August 4
* Beta 1: September 1
* Beta 2: 22 September
* Final version: October 13
You must know that everything that is said then remains at the level of conjecture and hypothetical form of speech, since so far nothing is confirmed at 100%.
What developments can we comment on the upcoming release of Ubuntu? Essentially what we notice is that the Ubuntu 11.10 oneiric Ocelot operate a series of very interesting substitutions they will invest the established order to the present. How we talk about substitutions?
REPLACING First, and nothing less, is to be held in the web browser. It is claimed that it would not be the absolute master Mozilla Firefox browsing experience of users, but instead would now be the new king Chromium.
The same goes for replacing operated in the mail client. It was stated in several sources that could replace the default Thunderbird to Evolution.
Finally, as far as session management is concerned, has also been rumored that, for various reasons that are irrelevant now explicit-LightDM could replace GDM.
FreeNAS 8.0
FreeNAS
When computers do not show signs of following siéndonos as useful as they once were, when it starts to show his face weary and dirty, that's when the owners-we-we think about what to do with these objects that we no longer are seductive or nice. Basically because we serve, we waste time, are almost obsolete. Is almost impossible to sell in a market as competitive and as dynamic, but throwing them away too. Not that the machines to be ineffective. Well here we give a viable option.
We refer to the new version of FreeNAS 8.0, the operating system ideal for creating our own storage system. Well this is it because the computer is not very useful for us to use it merely as we may experience storage device on your local network.
However, it should be clear that this version of FreeNAS nuva mented has been online only for professional users. As for the most interesting aspects of this version aimed at professionals, we can highlight the ZFS support and user interface supported by Django.
Regarding the installation process can say no objection, it takes very little time to install and works well on computers that do not have very good determinations. Read more

New interface for Mac OS X Lion
New interface X Lion
Mac OS X Lion is without a doubt one of the riskiest bets in recent years by Apple. As we know will be an operating system that is tipped with a great enthusiasm for the tactile experience has already been experienced in cases of operating systems for smartphones. And while it is rumored that the final version of Lion will be released in June this year at WWDC 2011, so far as we could find were betas for all developers. And after the betateasters have given their opinion to the official Apple directors was then that he has made available a new trial. Here are some interface issues.
First and foremost is to say that Apple has decided, despite his tendency is incorporating tactile Lion-dispose the sliding selector of the tabs in some windows, leaving the rich feel 'touch' of IOS to turn to experience more familiar and ordinary of the buttons that are all used
Another item to note is the change that has been iCal: it looks more clear, and some elements of the window has changed from black to a gray super clear. Read more
TomTom and control of user privacy
Control via GPS
The issue of privacy seems to be a problem while underground, follows every celebration of the progress of technological devices and new communication technologies, among which Internet device appears as the most important of all devices. A French philosopher said that our society is a society of sovereignty, as in times of absolute monarchies-or time-like discipline in the nineteenth and early twentieth-but we live in societies of control. People live exhibiting their intimacies and these publications are followed by the centers of economic and political power.
A little this is what is said against the social networks that make intimacy a show. We all know that any information uploaded to the web, every image posted on our Facebook wall, adds another element to the mass of information that the great centers of information and control of the companies handled daily.
Now this is confirmed by those published in recent days by TomTom.
As you know, some time ago that confirmed the suspicion that the 3G iPhone and iPad keep track of user location, as well as Android and Windows Phone.
That record is nothing innocent, since it allows to accurately track the movements of users accessing the same privacy.
