Windows Vista : Tech





Windows vista!!!!

The thought of it only brings water into my mouth..........well not only mine. Vista is a masterpiece in its true form. A form factor adds to its great functionality. With all its got, a glassy look makes it all the better.For all who do not still know what vist is(and what shit i am talking about) its the new OS(operating system: Like XP) under development by Microsoft. Will come out somewhere this year end. Well, I published this to give you a sneak peak into Vista and all what its got:-







An awesome desktop : Vista! gives you a desktop with 3D swapping...You can actually flip the windows!!!!!. All the more you can add sidebars and widgets just like the Mac desktop(no more easy spyware..........its official).






Internet explorer 7 : Comes with an awesome default browser..........gives you tabbed browsing and adds to that glassy look(but i would still recommend opera or firefox!).






Media Player 11 : What a player!!!! Windows media player has already redefined music playing..........wmp 11 takes it a step further......gives you online tv streaming and capability to achieve much more out of that little thing in your computer!!





Not just that
: It gives you everything XP does ........ and improvises on them (better speech recognition and networking).....And the end point: ITS MUCH MORE USER FRIENDLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Worlds smallest computer : Tech



IT'S as big as a Rubik's cube, and yet it packs enough computing power and memory to run simple computer applications like browsing, games and text editing.
Made in Japan, the world's smallest computer called "Teacube" runs on a proprietary open source system (Any damn OS, from win98 to linux) , and is powered by a 266- or 333-Mhz microchip by NEC.

It also supports flash memory (16 Mb )(!!!!) and has universal serial bus(Its Got USB!!!!!) 2.0 ports, where you can connect a mouse and keyboard. It also has a CRT output slot, where you can plug in your computer monitor.

According to the Personal Media Corp., the company that distributes this small PC, this smallest computer has optional software applications such as basic spreadsheet.

This little computer can be used in kiosk terminals in railway stations, for instance, to provide basic information like maps or schedules that people can access.

It can also be installed in a car, and there are some MP3 software that can work on its proprietary system. So you can actually transform this Teacube into an MP3 player.(Awesome)

The concept behind this world's smallest computer is simple: since it has less moving parts, it can withstand harsh conditions.

Instead of a hard disk, a flash memory provides the storage for any application you wish to run on this system, that is, if they can be ported for this system.

Interestingly, it only runs on 5 to 6.5 watts of power, although you have the option to plug into a power socket using an AC adapter.

Teacube was built on the T-Engine/Vr5500 development kit, an open source system, which is sold by Personal Media. It weighs 166 grams, and the dimensions are 52 by 52 by 42 mm in height.(You can bet, this is what I call kewl)
