Windows 8 Tablets Set to Challenge iPad, Android
Microsoft Windows president Steven Sinofsky showed off a prototype Windows 8 tablet at the All Things D conference in California this week -- the company's answer to Apple's "magical" device and Google's Android.
The new tablet-friendly operating system will function much like the Windows Phone 7 platform, with tiles you can flick around the screen, click to start an app, or reposition anyway you want.
The hardware for this new batch of tablets will likely mirror what's already on the market: tablets like the Motorola Xoom and Acer Iconia A500 that use the Nvidia Tegra 2 processor (and run the competing Google Android 3.0 operating system). The dual-core 1-GHz chip runs lightening fast for browsing the Web, playing games, and playing movies. Those tablets sport front- and rear-facing cameras, boast sharp graphics, and work well for touchscreen games.
In a tersely stated e-mail prior to Sinofsky's display, Microsoft spokeswoman Anna Imperati told FoxNews.com that “Microsoft has nothing to share at this time” about any upcoming Windows 8 tablets.
However, NPD analyst Stephen Baker said Microsoft is likely working on a Windows 8 tablet. One major hint: He says Microsoft is developing a version of the next OS that will run on standard PC chips and -- for the first time ever -- on a different class of processors like the Tegra, which are based on a totally different architecture.
“We all know they are working on Windows 8. We all know that tablets will be a key market for them. We just don't know when these will be in the market and competing,” he told FoxNews.com.
"Expect a tighter familial relationship with the Windows Phone platform," Rob Enderle, a consumer analyst, told FoxNews.com. He expects a Windows 8 tablet to boast "full Windows capability and likely have enhancements that will dramatically reduce launch time, battery life, and communications -- with some level of Skype built in."
Not everyone agrees. Ken Dulaney, a Gartner analyst, told FoxNews.com Microsoft will have a tough road to walk in the tablet space.
"Apple made tablets popular because they created software that was another generation above Windows in ease of use," he told FoxNews.com. "Microsoft will have to change the Windows UI radically to succeed," Dulaney said.
The news of Windows 8 tablets comes as computing shifts from total reliance on desktops and laptops to a new touchscreen paradigm. And ironically, Microsoft attempted to capture the tablet market over a decade ago with the Tablet PC platform.
Of course, those devices were bulky, operated more like a computer, and required the use of a stylus.
A recent Nielson survey showed the Apple iPad has an 82 percent share of the tablet market. Financial services firm UBS has predicated sales of around 28 million units for the reigning touchscreen device. So how can Microsoft differentiate from the field?
One key to success will be a diversity of apps, Baker said. Windows developers should be able to port their wares to the tablet easily. And Microsoft has a long history of working with hardware makers, helping them bring products to market.
Baker said he'd like to see Microsoft come out with a Windows 8 tablet by the holiday season this year -- but predicts it will probably be sometime next year instead. As to whether Microsoft will shoot its own foot by promoting a switch to tablets, Baker said most people will continue using computers and carrying smartphones -- they'll just add in tablets.
“Consumers will migrate to multiple devices that do different jobs in different circumstances, and we expect to see consumers own all three types of devices over time,” he said.
Still, Microsoft has an unusual ability to challenge even the biggest names in technology. The company's Bing.com search engine has encroached on Google dominance, for example. And in the video game market, the Xbox 360 has taken on and arguably bested Goliaths of the industry like Sony and Nintendo.
But will the company's market capitalization of around $208 billion let it afford the marketing resources to challenge even the mighty Apple? Only time will tell.

what is computer virus ?
A computer virus is a computer program that can replicate itself and spread from one computer to another. The term "virus" is also commonly, but erroneously used, to refer to other types of malware, including but not limited to adware and spyware programs that do not have a reproductive ability.
Viruses can increase their chances of spreading to other computers by infecting files on a network file system or a file system that is accessed by other computers.
As stated above, the term "computer virus" is sometimes used as a catch-all phrase to include all types of malware, even those that do not have the ability to replicate themselves. Malware includes computer viruses, computer worms, Trojan horses, most rootkits, spyware, dishonest adware and other malicious or unwanted software, including true viruses. Viruses are sometimes confused with worms and Trojan horses, which are technically different. A worm can exploit security vulnerabilities to spread itself automatically to other computers through networks, while a Trojan horse is a program that appears harmless but hides malicious functions. Worms and Trojan horses, like viruses, may harm a computer system's data or performance. Some viruses and other malware have symptoms noticeable to the computer user, but many are surreptitious or simply do nothing to call attention to themselves. Some viruses do nothing beyond reproducing themselves.

What actually is Patent,Trademark,Copyright made of?
Recently we have been the eyewitnesses of several patent war between top technology giant. So you might have some confusion about the patent.so here we will be describing what actually the patent is?
" The term “PATENT” originates from the Latin patere, which means “to lay open” which means to make available for public inspection. The term patent usually refers to an exclusive right granted to anyone who invents any new, useful, and non-obvious process, machine, article of manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof, and claims that right in a formal patent application.IT is a set of exclusionary rights granted by a state to a patent holder for a limited period of time, usually 20 years. These rights are granted to patent applicants in exchange for their disclosure of the inventions. Once a patent is granted in a given country, no person may make, use, sell or import/export the claimed invention in that country without the permission of the patent holder. Permission, where granted, is typically in the form of a license which conditions are set by the patent owner: it may be gratis or in return for a royalty payment or lump sum fee. A patent for an invention is the grant of a property right to the inventor. Generally, the term of a new patent is 20 years from the date on which the application for the patent was filed "
Now chat from facebook messenger

inally after a long wait, Facebook has revealed it’s chat client (currently a trial one) for Windows Operating System. Facebook messenger for Windows is an IM (Instant Messaging) program that let’s you chat with your Facebook friend without logging into the main site. Also Facebook notifications and friends ticker are integrated into this IM client
Let’s explore some features of the new FB Messenger for Windows. Users need an administrative rights to install and try this Facebook messenger. The messenger client can align itself to the right most side/corner of the desktop windows so that what’s going on Facebook is always visible – if you think it is annoying then you can disable it by clicking a button at the button right of the IM client. Even tho’ this messenger is advanced than the one designed for Android, Blackberry and iPhone; it still lacks group chat and video calling. Maybe they should be coming up with this feature sooner of later.
This Facebook messenger is supposed to cut a major portion of IM users from Yahoo! and Windows Live Messenger. However, we doubt that maybe not many users be enchanted by the new Facebook messenger and it’s need is not inevitable because Facebook messenger has already been integrated with all major IM clients including Yahoo and WL Messenger.
