The Three Differences between Chrome OS and Android

On December 7th, Google is expected to announce the release of a laptop with the first version of the Chrome operating system. Concurrently, Google is going great guns with Android. Does Google really need two operating systems? So what’s going on here?

Here’s what Google is up to. Yes, both Android and Chrome OS are Linux-based operating systems. Neither, at the application level, uses the common Linux desktop application programming interfaces (API) that are used by the GNOME or KDEdesktops and their applications.

They’re also similar in that both use a common set of techniques to make them more secure. The most important of these is process sand-boxing. What this means is that any Chrome or Android application has just enough access to the system to do its job.

Once you’re past this, the two look and act in very different ways. Here are their main points of difference:

1) Android is for Phones & Tablets; Chrome OS is for Netbooks

Google said at the start that “Google Chrome OS is being created for people who spend most of their time on the Web, and is being designed to power computers ranging from small netbooks to full-size desktop systems.” Google hasn’t always been on message with this.

Google also took its time getting even a Chrome beta out the door. Now that Chrome OS is about to be unveiled, we know that it is going to be Google’s “desktop” operating system, while Android is for smart phones and tablets.

The Android interface is designed foremost for touch. Google Chrome OS looks and acts just like the Chrome Web browser.

2) Chrome OS won’t run Linux desktop or Android Apps

I use quotes around “desktop” with good reason. While Chrome OS will be used like a desktop operating system, it’s not a traditional fat-client desktop like Windows or even a Linux desktop such as Mint. Instead, all of its “applications” will be cloud-based. To see what I mean, just look at the Chrome browser and Google Apps. You’re looking at a sketch of the Google Chrome OS.

There will be just enough Linux in Chrome OS–thanks, in part, to Ubuntu– to support the browser and Web-based applications. You will also likely be able to run some traditional desktop applicationsusing a remote-client computing technology called “Chromoting.”

As for Android applications, where all the applications are Java-based and depend on Dalvik, I don’t see any way that those applications will run on Chrome OS.

3) Chrome OS Constantly Updated

Like the Chrome browser, you can expect Chrome OS to be patched and improved constantly. This instead of being patched to fix problems or having features added in service packs, Chrome OS, for better or worse, will continually evolve. With Chrome OS, there won’t be any wait for different versions a la Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

Still having trouble visualizing it? Well, don’t worry too much. Within the next few days, we’ll have the opportunity to see Chrome OS and see how it differs from Android and other desktop operating systems.

A quick look at Google Chrome OS

When you launch a laptop running Google's Chrome OS for the first time, it will walk you through a simple and short registration process that begins with connecting to the Internet.

Like Chrome-the-browser, Chrome-the-OS will also require users to sign off on an End User License Agreement before they can use the computer.

You can sign in to Chrome OS using your existing Google account. If you purchase apps from the Chrome Web Store now and then get a Chrome OS computer next year, your apps will sync to the new laptop instantly.

Chrome OS laptops will all come with Web cams, and users will be asked to take a photo of themselves to use as their avatar. It's not clear if the Chrome OS avatar will override your current Google one.

If you're familiar with Chrome as a browser, and you're familiar with smartphone-style apps, you ought to have a fairly gentle learning curve for Chrome OS. The apps are front and center, while tabs and controls are up at the top and in the corner.

AMD releases fastest desktop processor ever, the six-core Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition

For those who want serious performance without spending hundreds of dollars on Intel’s Core i7 processors, AMD offers the Phenom II X6 CPU series — six cores for under $300. Intel’s rival has just delivered a new version, the 1100T Black Edition, that benchmarking sites have found to be the fastest desktop processor AMD has released to date.

The 1100T is a few tweaks ahead of its predecessor, the 1090T Black Edition, and based on the same Thuban 45nm core. For the uninitiated, Black Edition means that the processor has an unlocked multiplier, which aids in overclocking. While the 1090T has a 3.2GHz core clock speed and a Turbo Core frequency of 3.6GHz, the 1100T bumps these up to 3.3GHz and 3.7GHz, respectively.

The 1100T continues the Phenom II X6’s assault on Intel Core i5 CPUs, with Hot Hardware finding that it could surpass the Core i5-750 quad-core on a number of benchmarks and Anandtech concluding that it could even hang close to the Core i7-860. Just don’t expect it to get anywhere near the performance of Intel’s six-core Core i7s.

The good news is you won’t have to pay anywhere near $1,000 for AMD’s top six-core CPU. The 1100T is listed at just $265, which means that the 1090T is now priced even less at $235. You might not get the ultimate processor bragging rights, but you’ll get a better price-for-performance deal.

Google releases first Chrome OS-based laptop: the Cr-48

Google has officially unveiled the Cr-48, the first Chrome OS laptop. But the only way to get one soon is to be a member of the upcoming pilot program.

Before everyone gets excited, know that this is defintiely a business-focused notebook. Application data will be saved to a cloud rather than the Cr-48. And as Google asserts that buyers “can spend less on hardware” with Chrome notebooks, expect a reasonable price tag but a no-frills machine.

Not everything has been revealed about this portable computer so far, but the following specs have been confirmed:

• 12.1-inch display
• 10-second boot time
• Flash storage
• 802.11n Wi-Fi
• Built-in 3G
• Integrated Google Apps
• Webcam
• Full size keyboard
• Oversized click pad
• Battery life: Up to eight hours of active use; up to eight days on standby

Nokia Releases 5800 firmware v52.007 updates

Nokia release the firmware updates for the most popular 5800 mobile, you can download it from ovi suite and install it later in to ur phone or you can directely download to ur phone from the menu->settings->phone->pnone mgmt-.device updates->options->check for updates .The update is available through FOTA and NSU.
you can also download it from here


Download : Nokia Firmware 5800 XpressMusic RM-356 MENA 52.0.007 v15.0


Features improved: 
* Improved Performance: As with every good firmware upgrade, v52 leaves your phone feeling much snappier and responsive than before. Menu response, browser performance, and even the speed of UI auto-rotate has seen a boost.


* Louder volume levels in the music-player


* Slight modifications in the onscreen keyboard layout and spacing The onscreen keyboard has been tweaked slightly, with marginally improved spacing - this essentially means that typing-errors will reduce a little bit, but the change is not very significant.


* Improved touch-response: The touch-screen sensitivity has increased noticably, and so has the haptic-feedback. The short rumble you used to get for each touch has transformed into something more soft and realistic, very similar to the response of an actual, physical button-press.


* The Maps application has been updated to version 3.04 (10WK32), which brings some major revamps - in addition to the usual Lonely Planet and Burrp, you get additional goodies like the Map Reporter, with which you can report errors or missing features in the map of your area.


* Several bug-fixes in the WiFi connectivity: Have you, for instance, tried to browse the Ovi Store over a WiFi connection and failed, and never knew what was wrong? Well, this was a bug - this and several other similar bugs have been fixed in the newest update.


* The browser has been updated to version 7.2.6.9, and the image and video capturing algorithms have been improved 

Google launches Nexus S, latest Android platform

Google on Monday announced its Nexus S, the device that will be the showpiece for the Gingerbread/Android 2.3 release. In addition, the Gingerbread software developer kit (SDK) is now available.

The Nexus S was co-developed with Samsung and will be the first out of the gate with Android 2.3, which on the surface looks a lot like Android 2.2 in terms of user interface.

Like the first Nexus phone, Google will sell the latest version unlocked and with “a pure Google experience.” These efforts are designed to highlight what Android can do before carriers start adding icons, bolting down app stores and carrying out other hijinks.

Generally speaking, the Nexus S looks evolutionary not revolutionary. There’s no dual-core and the screen is similar to what’s found in a Droid. The main implication for the Nexus S is that Samsung appears to be the Android flag carrier these days.

The latest improvements to Android include (blog post):

• User interface tweaks;
• Near field communication support;
• New keyboard and text selection;
• VoIP calling;
• And other improvements.

Windows 8 leaks

 Windows 8 rumor: To be named Windows 365:

I got a tip from a little bird that Microsoft may rename Windows 8 in order to better align the product with the upcoming Cloud 365 suite.

This is just a rumor and I have no corroborating evidence to back it up but the name that has been floated is Windows 365.

I wouldnt bet on this tip but the name actually sounds good to me.

Windows 8 rumor : Security updates and Liscensing from Cloud:

Now while I have no reason to believe that this is anything but PURE speculation at this point, he does bring up 2 good points which I will write about soon.

1. Using the cloud to apply system updates
2. Using the cloud to validate an OS license.

Stay tuned folks…

Mobile Number Portability in India

After several delays, Nov 25^th was decided  on as the date when Mobile Number Portability would roll out in India. Starting in Haryana, a state in the Northern circle users can now opt to change their mobile carriers while keeping their numbers. The terms of switching operators as defined for Haryana and in all likelihood for other cities, are:

 1.User will have to obtain a unique porting number by sending a SMS.

 2.The code along with filled forms and valid identity proof documents need to be submitted to the new operator.

 3. Rs 19 is the switching fee.

 4. A user can switch after 90 days of a new connection being activated.

 5. Postpaid users need to clear all dues before applying to switch.

 6. Prepaid users lose any remaining talk time after switching.

 7. MNP request can be cancelled within 24 hours and a new request should be processed within 7 days.

With 3G services starting to roll out, the mobile space should get competitive with operators having some time to announce lucrative deals to attract and retain consumers in the metropolitans. According to the latest statistics about the  mobile market size in India, Airtel leads by quite a margin. There are about 509 million users according to the Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) report for October 2010. The breakup for some operators is:

Windows Open source softwares

1) VLC
VLC is one of the most flexible multimedia players available. It supports a vast number of audio and video formats, including H.264, Ogg, DivX, MKV, TS, MPEG-2, mp3, MPEG-4, and aac, and it supports streaming and TV capture cards. VLC isn't limited to viewing multimedia files, either. It can convert and transcode formats, too.

2) Gnumeric
Gnumeric is the spreadsheet portion of the GNOME Office suite (as well as a stand-alone tool). It has been around for quite some time and is an outstanding entry in the spreadsheet world. Gnumeric currently has 520 spreadsheet functions (154 of which are unique) and is faster than any spreadsheet application you have ever tried. Gnumeric can read many spreadsheet formats, but if you're looking for a clone of Excel, look elsewhere.

3) Abiword
Abiword is also a part of the GNOME office suite (as well as a stand-alone tool), and it can serve all your word processing needs. With Abiword, you can create and collaborate. It's lightweight, fast, reliable, and (like all tools on this list) free! Abiword can read and write both Microsoft Office and OpenOffice document formats.

4) Audacity
Audacity is an incredible piece of software for recording and editing sounds. You can use it to record live audio, convert analog recordings to digital, cut/copy/splice, change speed and pitch, and import/export numerous formats. Audacity can also remove noise and add effects. If you're looking for an open source recording studio, don't overlook Audacity.

5) Inkscape
Inkscape is a powerful vector graphics editor similar to Illustrator, Corel Draw, and Xara X. It closely adheres to W3C standard SVG file format, so you can be sure that any SVG file created with (or edited by) Inkscape will work with any other standards-compliant tool. One nice aspect of Inkscape is the availability of numerous tutorials, which you will find on the Inkscape site and on other sites.

Red Hat Tips and Tricks

1) Wiping a hard Drive

Have you ever needed to completely wipe out critical data from a hard drive? As we all know, mkfs doesn’t
erase a lot. (You already knew this, right?) mkfs and its variants (e.g., mkfs.ext3 and mke2fs) only get rid of a few important data structures on the filesystem, but the data is still there! For a SCSI disk connected as /dev/sdb, a quick
dd if=/dev/sdb | strings
will let anyone recover text data from a supposedly erased hard drive. Binary data is more complicated to
retrieve, but the same basic principle applies: the data was not completely erased. To make things harder for the bad guys, an old trick was to use the ‘dd’ command as a way to erase a drive.
Note: This command will erase your disk!
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb
There’s one problem with this: newer, more advanced, techniques make it possible to retrieve data that were
replaced with a bunch of 0s. To make it more difficult, if not impossible, for the bad guys to read data that was previously stored on a disk, Red Hat ships the “shred” utility as part of the coreutils RPM package. Launching “shred” on a disk or a partition will write repeatedly (25 times by default) to all locations on the disk.
Note: Be careful with this one too!
shred /dev/sdb
This is currently known to be a very safe way to delete data from a hard drive

2) USB when the Drivers not available

As a way to save a few valuable pennies on newer PCs, manufacturers are increasingly getting rid of the good old PS/2 keyboard and mouse interfaces. As a result, some recent systems only ship with USB ports to which we need to connect a USB keyboard and mouse. USB is all well and good, but what if the driver for your USB controller is not loaded? In practice, this is not a problem, as Red Hat loads the ehci- hcd and uhci-hcd drivers automatically at boot time. There are situations, namely in emergency mode, where the USB drivers won't be available. So you won't even be able to enter a command. This is due to the fact that in emergency mode all drivers need to be provided in the initrd file under /boot, and USB is not there by default. The trick is to add those drivers, so that they will be available earlier. The 'mkinitrd' command can do precisely that with the '--with' argument (this only works under RHEL4):
mkinitrd --with=ehci-hcd --with=uhci-hcd /boot/newinitrd-`uname -
r`.img
`uname -r`
Add a new entry in your grub.conf file (always do backups!) that points to this new initrd image, and you're
done! Your USB keyboard now works in emergency mode.

Interesting Features in Windows 8

Hi guys We all know that windows 7 has really made the turning point for Microsoft because of its user interface , performance , stability etc, like windows 7 Microsoft is planning to give more features in the upcoming OS Windows 8 which is going to released in 2014, i came to know abut some of the feature in the Windows 8 OS


Microsoft is planning to make Windows 8 an 128-bit operating system, according to details leaked from the software giant’s Research department. The discovery came to light after Microsoft Research employee, Robert Morgan, carelessly left details of his work on the social-networking site, Linked.

“Research & Development projects including 128-bit architecture compatibility with the Windows 8 kernel and Windows 9 project plan”

The senior researcher’s profile said he was: “Working in high security department for research and development involving strategic planning for medium and long term projects. Research & Development projects including 128-bit architecture compatibility with the Windows 8 kernel and Windows 9 project plan. Forming relationships with major partners: Intel, AMD, HP and IBM.”

A move to 128-bit support would be a bold move for Microsoft. Many outsiders were urging Microsoft to make Windows 7 64-bit only, but the company continues to offer a 32-bit version of the forthcoming OS.


Microsoft has said very little publicly about  Windows 8, although on a visit to the UK earlier this week, CEO Steve Ballmer denied rumours that Windows 7 would be the last major client OS the company
produced. Ballmer admitted that planning was underway on Windows 8, although it’s highly unlikely that the OS will arrive until 2012 at the earliest.

This Slashdot comment raises some interesting points:

“Most 64-bit processors provide 40 or 48 bits of address space; they ignore the other two or three bytes of the address (often they support a larger virtual address space than physical, but even then it’s usually less than 64-bit). I’ve yet to see a consumer- grade machine with more RAM than PAE (36-bit addressing) could address. That said, memory is not the only place where the number of bits is important. Hard
drives are typically addressed by 512-byte blocks, so 32 bits gives you 2TB, which is a single disk these days. 64 bits gives you 8ZB, which is quite a lot, but it’s not a completely unreasonable amount; some people are going to find that constraining in the next few years, which is why ZFS uses 128 bits. It’s not that 128 bits are necessary, so much that 65 bits are and 128 is the most computationally-convenient size after 128. Making sure everything in the kernel supports 128-bit filesystem offsets is an important for long-term project.”
Seems to me the future of Wine is going to also have be 128 bit to remain relevant and run the future 128 bit Games and Office tools that are geared for the future Windows OS. Possibly by the time of Windows 8 this will be when they finally kill off 32 bit support and release 64 bit and 128 bit versions of Windows. Looks as if the ground work for 128 bit computing is being set now and therefor a future 128 bit release of our favorite Windows re implementation Wine.

NOTE :- This information is based on currently available resources and might become
irrelevant after the official announcement of WINDOWS 8
