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 competition from embedded Web documents

Kill ... and Mono / Moonlight HTML5-CSS3 the combinaditos, JScript, the scripting python, perl, php, xml, QML.

Monkey can not with monoandroid / MonoTouch displace Dalvik / ObjectiveC.
Mono only survives in GNOME 3 shell through C #, but can not figure it VirtualBox and Linux Mint 12 is not what you want to adapt (the Mint in popularity exceeding Ubuntu after 6 years as long Distrowatch.com ).
Novell dropped what Xamarin continues Did Miguel de Icaza is provided 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 scripting steals the bride surfer.

X86_64 to the desktop, the chipset on the north side controlled the RAM bus (FSB), AGP video bus and PCI bus system. The change was produced in 2003 AMD integrated the memory controller in the microprocessor and communication for the HT bus, PCI Express is relegated by serial PCI bus and AGP x8 disappears also begins to integrate the GPU on the motherboard (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 Intel dualcore and quadcore for Penryn launched AMD Phenom 4-core monolithic) integrating the GPU in the same package that contains 2 or 4 CPU cores and integrating the northbridge same with what remains is a southbridge-Hudson is his name on the mainboard, and the APU holder: CPU, IGP, BMI, chipset communicating with HT RAM and graphics ports IGP for the PCIe 2.0 also commands North Bridge integrated into the APU. The speeds are increased graphics performance and energy consumption TDP 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 on the mainboard chipset P67 upper-middle range of micro override the IGP graphic outputs and do not allow prevents the use of improved resources renderer and low watts dissipated.

While it is true that there is no activity since at least 2006 with version 0.2 of Darbat , not without interest that embryonic Coreserver Darwin BSD is not mounted on the ancient Mach 3 (also known implementations of excelling L4Linux and Wombat PPC MkLinux detained since forever) but on a more agile L4, is a work of NICTA in Australia and it is only for testing functionality can get source code , binary and Disk Image (. dmg) extended lilo, you have a PDF and generic instructions .

Worth as an excuse for presenting this non-news that WinFS also arrested and takes time from the same 2006.

The next September 17th and Linux turns 18 this statement speaks volumes about his humble origins (such as nuclear center and grip GNU):

"As an anecdote to illustrate Commodore's statement, saying that the VIC-20 could be used not only for games but also as serious introduction to computing, you can count on a young student named Linus Torvalds was given a VIC- 20 as their first computer. With a keen interest in learning more, Torvalds was upgraded later to a Sinclair QL, then to a PC 386, and the rest as they say, is history ...

The global consortium W3C is ready babel new step in HTML5, supported by Firefox 3.5 beta, Opera 10 and Safari 4 (IE 8 may also, as you can) your code becomes unnecessary flash plugin and maybe the silverlight / moonlight from the label <video/> (including all open and proprietary formats is the crux of the issue) and also support <audio/> , graphics from <canvas/> and even possible executions <command/>. progress bars <progress/> and handling times and dates <time/>.

Maybe some of these improvements already exist in XML and derivatives (MathML, XForms, SVG, etc.). Web 2.0 but it is increasing the IA and then see what happens. IPv6 IA on what we might happen to it?

Beware Apple security

Operating systems always have low asset utilization of power systems claim to be safe, because whether or not to resist any attack, do not capture the attention of the creators of malicious software.

Mac OS X software is not exactly a low utilization, but for now has been far more profitable to look for problems in Windows crackers. But Apple's system over the past five years has tripled its market share, now touching 10% worldwide, so it is becoming a juicy dish for creators of malware . Is this a real problem for MacOS?

Charlie Miller , an expert in looking for security problems in MacOS, commented recently that the main problem was that the system randomly allocates memory to applications, so you can access the data in memory. A problem that seems to be resolved in Snow Leopard. In any case, the traditional strength of Unix systems derived from the virus may no longer be enough to other types of malware . Will Apple live up to solving such problems?

A few days ago Mark Shuttleworth (Canonical visible head) commented that Windows 7 is another opportunity for Linux. For new users it will not be as interested in being able to use Microsoft Office and can connect to a social network [...] the business model is changing.

Although so far the feedback on Windows 7 as shown by better product than Vista, today has published a survey about the intentions of the companies with the upcoming Microsoft operating system, shows that the adoption of Windows 7 will be slow.

According to data from 1100 companies, 17% will adopt during the first year, 42% plans to wait at least one year and 24% expect at least two before switching. The bad experiences with Vista seem to blame for this mistrust.

Can we expect a better reception to Windows 7 than Vista?

Despite the "no success" of Vista, Linux adoption is still very limited, focusing more on the growth of MacOS. Will the same with Windows 7?

17% of respondents did not answer about any plan to upgrade to Windows 7. You are looking for alternatives to Windows?
