Classic look in Windows 8 may just be for Internet explorer

As some of us may already know, the IT Company Microsoft is going to launch their brand new operating system (i.e. final release) Windows 8 for both desktops and tablets later in the year. Windows 8 combines both a new Metro look and a classic look at the same time, but there have been rumours that Microsoft is introducing barriers for using other browsers on the Windows 8 platform.  Mozilla stated that Windows 8 will not support any browsers in classic mode other than Internet Explorer.  It’s reducing the competition to allow Internet Explorer take a broader role in the OS and also allowing for future security for the browser. Browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Opera will be permitted to install and run on the metro theme from within Windows 8 but not will not be available in classic mode.

 

However there still might be some good news for competing browsers.  Although these IT service do not support Apple’s iPad, there may still be a glimmer of hope on this OS.  From one survey carried out about Windows 8, it has been concluded that the users are not really bothered about using classic mode and the majority preferred sticking with the new Metro look of Windows 8, this might be because Windows 8 has been developed for tablets. This is very good news for competing browser companies, because every time consumers get the chance to install a different browser and use this instead of Internet Explorer they usually take it with open arms.

The new upgraded Bing from Microsoft

The highly recognized IT Company, Microsoft has introduced the brand new Bing search engine to the world last Thursday. Bing was able to occupy second place in the search engine rankings, after Google, but Bing was always striving for more, as a result Microsoft has integrated Facebook links into the Bing search engine to get greater appreciation from users as well as more traffic.  They have also linked to other social networks beside Facebook.  Before this update users did not receive any search results which were linked with the social website, but from now on they will get results which are related not just to Facebook but to any social website.

 

In this latest upgrade to Bing, Microsoft has introduced three column screen design in the hope this would make finding things on the internet much easier.  The first column, on the left, remains the same as before, where the search box is available. The middle section, will show a screen shot of relevant webpage’s and also other facilities like maps, reviews and more.  The third column will feature users’ Facebook friends which can give them the option to ask for advice on a search.  With this new upgrade to Bing, users are able to get access to their contacts on twitter, linkedin and other social networks very easily.

Small Fuel cell will charge your phone for a dozen times

The IT Company Lilliputian System is very well known for making fuel cells and up to now haven’t released anything that will produce this much energy.  A new pocket sized fuel cell which will charge your phone dozens of times over a two week period. It will provide power to gadgets which have a USB port to connect the device.  The fuel cell is fairly small like a thick Smartphone and the fluid-filled cartridge is just like a cigarette lighter.  They have also integrated a unique technique inside the fuel cell which allows a longer life than previous fuel cells.

 

This portable fuel cell is going to be introduced to consumers by the retailer Brookstone by the end of this year. Lilliputian System is also confirmed to the media that Brookstone will be the first to launch this fuel cell and under the brand. Although they did not provide the press with any specific information about the upcoming fuel cell but only the cartridge, which has already been discussed earlier in the year. Lilliputian System is looking for a suitable market which will collaborate with the other electronic manufacturers to use this cell.  A cartridge will charge your iPhone 4 between 10 and 14 times which means around two weeks of charge for someone who’s not near an electric socket very often.

Facebook is now ready to grab Glancee

After taking ownership of Instagram, the worlds largest social media IT Company is now grabbing the location based expedition application Glancee.  This purchase has just happened within a month of buying the popular online photo sharing app, Instagram.  After purchasing the app, Facebook has already changed the app to use further in their platform and invited the three co-founders whom are the only full time employers of Glancee to join them. “Facebook is thrilled with this deal” they told press after purchasing the company behind the app.  They also invited the three co-founders to work with them making further improvement to the app.

 

Although Facebook has their own option of locating users known as “checkin”, which we are all well aware of, but Glancee works beyond of the capabilities of checkin. This remote support helps you to find any person around you with the same interest.  It is really interesting that there is an another app named Highlight, which has more than three times the number of daily users than Glancee but Facebook bought the Glance instead of the Highlight. It is thought that there has some links between Instagram and Glancee so that Facebook has to buy this location based app for further implementation to their website.

At last, the third member of the Galaxy S series from one of the world’s best known IT Company Samsung is on the way to launching to the European market, in fact it is confirmed that the Galaxy S3 will be launched to Europe on 29th of this month.  When Samsung is competing with other electronic giant’s such as Apple. Samsung is launching a number of it’s best products back to back potentially making competition much harder for Apple and the Galaxy S3 would be one of the iPhone’s biggest competitors.  The recent trend for large screens on smart phones has meant that Samsung has followed with exactly that on the Galaxy S3.  With the upcoming version of Apple’s iPhone to be realest this year, it is thought that the iPhone 5 will  also have a larger screen.

 

Some features of the Samsung Galaxy S3 are like the followings.

  1. 4G LTE.
  2. Screen is 4.8 inch AMOLED.
  3. Screen Resolution is 1280 x 720.
  4. Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS.
  5. Primary camera is 8MP and the secondary camera is 1.9MP.
  6. RAM of 1GB.
  7. Exynos 4 Quad processor of the speed of 1.4GHz.
  8. Storages are varying from 16 to 32 to 64 GB.
  9. 50GB DropBox cloud facility for 2 years.

 

These are exceptional benefits from the Galaxy S3, one of the best features being that it gives the user 50GB of Drop Box storage and support for two years, where as Google recently introduced  the same facility for PC and laptop users as well as their Android users for free online backup but the space is limited to 5Gb, although you can increase space by purchasing more.

Samsung 9 series with Intel Ivy Bridge

As one of the biggest IT Companies in the world, Samsung is improving their quality and market competency day by day using the latest technology.  They are planning to integrate Intel’s Ivy Bridge processor into the Samsung series 9 Ultra-books and working hard to make it available to the market very quickly.  The upcoming version of the 9 series will have a Core I5 3317U processor with the clock speed of 1.7GHz.  The 15 inch 9 series is also featured with an advanced HD 4000 GPU and an HM75 Express chip-set.  It is also featured with a huge amount of RAM, which is 8GB (2 x 4GB), but the storage remains as before, at a 128GB Solid state drive. The display resolution also stays as previous which is 1600×900 pixels. Considering all of the above, it is more interesting about the battery life of this series; the 15 inch monitor 9 series Ultra-book has a battery life of 7.5 hours.

 

From it’s original press release the 9 series Ultra-books has always received positive reviews from the clients and critics.  The marketing and communication section of the company has not yet been confirmed when the Ultra-book will be available to buy and what the price will be?  With these great features, we are pretty certain that it will be one of the best Ultra-books on the market and could cause some serious problems for competitors like Apple’s MacBook air.

Is this the beginning of the end for Apple’s iPhone?

The time has come to take a few steps backwards in the US Smartphone market, especially for one of the worlds largest IT Companies Apple.  It seems this thought is reflected by a report carried out on Smartphone users in the US, which was produced by a well reputed analytic firm?  The report has shown that Samsung is ahead in sales over Apple and even LG and has also had remarkable growth in this race.  At the same time Google’s Android also remains in first place where Apple’s iOS is in second place, the report says.  It is pretty tough to compete with Android, because the numbers of smart phones and tablets are increasing continuously from various electronic companies which are running Android, where the iOS is only being run on Apple’s devices.

 

It is confirmed that the quantity of Samsung mobiles being sold amounts to 47 million where 35 million from Apple which is also assured that Samsung is much further ahead than Apple in the first quarter of this year.  This is possible by the increasing sales of Samsung mobiles, in particularly the new Galaxy series which comes in four versions, the Y, S, S2 and Note. The upcoming S3 will also move the trend more towards Samsung which has been a prediction of market researchers.  Considering all the perspectives,  it is pretty certain that Samsung is going to acquire the mobile market at a greater speed than before by releasing the Galaxy S3.  Not just for the devices themselves but people will get more attracted to Android OS, in which the backup service from Google, which is known as Google Drive, is already been integrated for keeping files safe on-line.
