6 Reasons Why Windows 8 Tablets Are Not A Threat To Android

Microsoft has lost the mobile war. The disappointing performance of Windows Phone even after two years of its release is evident that the market has moved on. Microsoft's last bet is Nokia which dropped all of its own open source projects and promising OS such as MeeGo to become a hardware delivery truck for Microsoft's Mobile OS. Nokia used to have a very strong position in the Asian market and Microsoft wanted to get a free ride of that popularity. Which again is the indication that people won't go to buy a Windows phone they will be looking for a Nokia Phone. That leaves on to wonder what is going to be the future of Windows 8 Tablet.

Bouncing malware from Android Market

From the description, Bouncer is like a security agent that scans the marketplace for malware, relying on signatures of known malware to do its job. Besides looking for malicious applications, Bouncer also analyzes “new developer accounts to help prevent malicious and repeat-offending developers from coming back.”

The idea, as Hiroshi described it, is to provide an “automated scanning of Android Market for potentially malicious software without disrupting the user experience of Android Market or requiring developers to go through an application approval process.” Sounds good to me.

Synergy! as many PCs as you like with just one keyboard and one mouse!

  • Linuxaria.com; By Giuseppe Sanna (Posted by linuxaria on Feb 4, 2012 12:44 PM EDT)
  • Story Type: Tutorial
If your desk is like mine: you have multiple PCs and Laptops spread over two square meters, but do not worry I have the solution for you! Install Synergy and you’ll just say goodbye, once and for all to the mess! This software, which I emphasize is cross-platform, allows you to control multiple PCs or laptops with just one mouse and one keyboard. Basically this software allows you to have two monitors on your desk and allow you to switch from the left monitor, to the second monitor just by moving the mouse out of the right border of the first one and vice versa. This sounds simple … but be aware that we are not talking about two monitors attached to the same PC, but two different PCs even with different OS such as Ubuntu and Windows.

  • Story Type: News Story; Groups: Linux
The 3.3 kernel release will let you boot an Android userspace with no modifications, but not very good power management. The 3.4 kernel release will hopefully have the power management hooks that Android needs in it, along with a few other minor missing infrastructure pieces that didn't make it into the 3.3 kernel release.
