Because Not to install Internet Explorer 8

In these days in turn for the net they are appeared numerous news on the fact that Microsoft would have decided (finally said), to allow to the customer of disinstallare some its products from its new Operating System, Windows 7. Moreover to short (presumed date next 18 March) will come released the new version of Internet Explorer 8, to 10 exact years from the escape of IE 5.

What it has provoked fuss from the point of view of who in the Web works to us enough, is a video put on hand from same the Microsoft where, thanks to its personal benchmark, IE8 would turn out faster medium or than Firefox 3.0.5 or of Chrome in the visualization of the pages.

Windows 7 is prepared for the launch .

Speed is the order word that is characterizing from the beginning the history of Windows 7, the new operating system targato Microsoft. They have not only been burnt the stages in the approach to the definitive release, but the job of appraisal of the result of the phase of test begun to January is being revealed extremely effective also.

In particular, on the line of the suggestions proposals from the customers who have been able to appreciate the version Beta, the sviluppatori of the society of Redmond have announced various modifications to the operating system that will come introduced in more and more imminent version RC (Release Candidates, that is the version “candidate” to constitute the definitive and official release).

Part of the job has been dedicated to the bar of the applications: seen the crescent number of applications available and in execution on the more recent computers it has been implemented a efficient system of preview of the windows (that they will appear over the same bar) and of lampeggiamento of the programs that demand attention (like Messenger); the option Peek Air in order to move itself fastly from a window to the other renders now scorciatoia the ALT+TAB from keyboard possible and is moreover possible to open windows and launch applications with the new “formula” Key Windows + “number”: associating a number to a precise program it with the relative one will be able itself be launch.

A could not lack to the UAC (User Account Control) that it made to deprive of hope the brave customers of Sight: on one side it has been strengthened the whereby necessary emergency, from the other more elasticity for who will be concurred does not have need of too many rules or authorizations.

Important innovationes regard also player multimediale Windows Media Player: it has been improved the compatibility with the streaming from the web and have been added of the bookcases in a position to being able to reproduce the rows .mov, those for which till now was necessary to install Quick Time.

Then little ones details here and here: the information on the connettivity from the bar of the applications will be more essential, the information on the cartelle in the windows clearer and will be detailed; the functionalities of drag will be upgraded & drops, the formattati local discs in FAT32 now will totally be supported.

It would seem all ready: the calendar of Windows would seem to head at the end of 2009, but there is also who bets in a dramatic turn of events…

The Boom of the Netbook

Incredible. This is the only adjective in order to describe the boom on the market of new notebook “the pocket version “, that is ill-famed the Netbook. The name said already it long on the scope begins them of this instrument: a portable computer that had to acquit the main task of all its “relatives”: to be connected to the Net; not for case, in fact, this type of product had been launch in the underdeveloped nations where a technology too much advanced and of the too much high prices would not certainly have made rubble.

Instead, dramatic turn of events! In recent months the netbook it is the choice more in voga, and quite, being to some interviews, there is who means to replace own PC desktop or the classic notebook with this fratellino “more equally apt little one” but for the operations that are wanted to be made. The data speak clear: in Europe in the last trimester the 2008 trend it has been more than positive, with the record in Italy where a +52% have been recorded that speaks alone. The first consequence is of the traditional correction and a landslide sales notebook right of the shooting for the new maneuvers of market

The Oscar of the Technology

Every year, the more interesting plans of the 5 continents are come introduced and discussed in occasion about the Forum Netxplorateur to the Senate of Paris. A real competition, called Grand Prix Netxplorateur comes moreover indetto, in which the more innovative inventions in the field are defied of type them and of the Net. The edition of 2008 has seen to the departure tapes very 467 finalists, than after several selections, they have been reduced to 10 6 finalists who have defied slid February.

Bluetooth and Wi-Fi

Perhaps, and then issue of months, indeed only weeks the Bluetooth technology will tie the knot “” with Wi-Fi.

It is called Alternated MAC/PHY and will arrange the advantages of Bluetooth, that is the possibility to establish logons peer to peer (P2P) between more devices quickly, with the advantages of the Wi-Fi, therefore with the elevated speed of transfer of this last one.

The new technology previews uses alternated of Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, according to the demanded performances of connettività. Therefore until it will be necessary to establish a simple logon at a distance between devices will be in function the Bluetooth, but not as soon as it will be had to that to make with streaming a video or the transfer of files of large dimensions will enter in game the Wi-Fi technology (802,11 b/g), in order then to restore the Bluetooth once exhausted the greater demand for band.

We will be able sincronizzare the bookcase of music between our PC and a reader MP3, to directly print a photo from the camera, or to send towards to the TV a film contained on a mobile device, all this with the same device of logon.

The main merit of the development of this new technology goes to Bluetooth that, thanks to the service Service Discovery, able to negotiate logons using other protocols of net, render the interoperabilità between various technologies possible wireless, facilitating consequently the communication between dispositive furnitures.

The new technologies turn out centered in full load the objectives to the root of the development of all thus wireless: minor a power consumption, thanks to “the intelligent” management of the connettività services, and a minor I block, given from minor the number of necessary circuits for the operation and the co-existence of various technologies.

It moreover seems that some chip wireless in commerce can support already Alternated MAC/PHY, therefore a simple modernization of firmware could quite concur from I use quickly it arranged of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. For the others, draft to expect a pair of months or to the maximum the next summer.

Urban Dictionary: the slang to capacity of click

The World Wide Web, as we know, must to its importance own to the fact that is a powerful instrument and poured them to the capacity of all, and as such usufruibile from every part of the world, on condition that us it is an Internet logon obviously.
And inside of this total virtual village, that it embraces entire nations pulling down any barrier and creed, there is a intricate of languages, dialetti and several idiomatiche expressions own of great and small geographic truths.
This, confirmed from the fact that today more than ever is lived in phrenetic way somewhat, have carried to developing themselves of abbreviations, acronyms and forms of communication sincopate in order to save also only a pair of second. A tangible example is as an example the SMS, with the several ones xkè, cmq and via talking.
Thus if you found yourselves to speak in a chat foreign, indifferently if features of AE or BE (” American English” and “British English”), the single acquaintance mean-base of the language probably is not enough in order to mean our interlocutor fully, but an ulterior aid serves us: the acquaintance of the slang. The slang, jargon in Italian, are usatissimo from all, above all from the young people, and every language has its. Perhaps how to be able to comprise therefore some phrases that to a first glance (and also to a second one) they turn out indecipherable? In this case the site Urban Dictionary, a real Bible of the slang of the English language comes us in aid. /
The dictionary is online from 1999, and today the definitions of the several ones lemmi pile nearly 4 million! This to ulterior confirmation that the language is a phenomenon in continuous evolution, and the web is the better way with which being to the step in so far as. Now we put the case to undertake a conversation with our foreign friend. In order to begin we could write a cordial “Hi”, to which it probably will answer in way to similare. After this it could answer still writing “asl”, than he does not have nothing to that to see with aziene the sanitary premises
Therefore we have understood that the acronym asl is the acronym of Age/Sex/Location. It is therefore a short and directed formula that it serves in a sure sense also at the beginning to break off the ice of the conversation, asking who it is from the other part to write how many years has, of that sex is and where alive.
It can be very observed therefore as behind 3 letters they hide, condensed, entire phrases: the most diffuse LOL, by now true emblema of risata (the Laughing Out Loud/To laugh sonorously), to the similar ROTFL (Rolling On The Floor Laughing/Rotolarsi from the risate ones), or to the diplomatic IMHO (In My Honest Opinion/Personally).
Today it is important to know such acronyms, acronyms, abbreviations, as this facilitates to us to untie to us between the whims of the language, or better of the persons speak that it, not only abroad but also here from we, as it comes some made wide use also in Italy.
I hope that with this article it has cleared I do not say all the doubts and the curiosities to you that you had care the slang legacy to the Netizen, but at least a part, and I augur myself has cattuato your interest for some minute and it has made you to come the wish to deepen more this argument a little.

Safari 4: browser of Apple this time it mean

For the time being it is a bipolarismo. Internet Explorer for the mass, Firefox for the smanettoni. In this fight Apple tries to thread itself, with its browser Safari, reached version 4. The program, available or on Mac that on Windows, is currently in phase beta and introduces innovation a range wide, in primis those developed in order to render the reading of the pages faster and effective web.
According to brought back how much, the new motor Javascript would concur a speed of advanced execution approximately 4,2 times with the precedence version 3. In it upgrades them comparison with the browser would turn out, under this aspect, 3 times faster than Firefox and, quite, 30 times regarding Internet Explorer 7! Philip Schiller, vice-president for the marketing of Apple, has declared that Safari 4 will not only be the browser faster, but will be also that one in a position to re-uniting all the standards of development web puts into effect them, integrating HTML 5 and CSS 3 perfectly. The demonstration of the goodness of the new one browser is in the result of acid the test, exceeded to full ballots (100/100) from Safari 4!
The graphical formulation introduces an interface in pure Windows style with characters, bar of the title it, profiles and toolbar online with the aspect of the operating system Microsoft. The tab of navigation drops have integrated the function “drag and” in order to organize the cards in more windows of the browser. Quickly visible innovationes are the function “Top Sites”, a kind of page preview, available quickly to the start, that it more contains the sites visited and the function “Cover Flow frequently”, an equipped “upgraded” chronology among other things of a preview of the pages visited and of an express it arranges of search between the result.
The new one browser is already releasable in both the versions (Mac and Windows) on the official site. Draft, however, always of a beta test, therefore of a already stable version but to perfect in the last details. Not there is still a date for the official release, but if the result will confirm the waits it will be alone issue of some weeks.

Towards the electric current wireless?

Tried to imagined the technological truth of the next future: they are sure that you will think next to devices connected via wireless, bluetooth and infrared, to the wiring reduced to the single electric power supply. Mistaken! Perhaps not there will be not even the feeding cables. They are in full phase of development some solutions that allow to transmit to the electric current without some support: at the moment three technologies in a position to replacing the simple cable are known very.
The first technology, adopted from the Powermat, takes advantage of a principle of the very famous physical: the magnetic induction of the current. The objective is to induce the electric current generation through a containing surface the devices to feed thanks to the guideline and the intensity of a magnetic field source.
A second technology, enough similar, has been developed from the MIT (Massachussets Institute of Technology): in this case the transfer happens through two coils. One of they, connected to a taken electrical worker standard (like one of the many that we have now in house), generates a magnetic field in which it is found “dipped” the second coil. In this second coil, for magnetic induction, electric current will flow.
A last and most interesting solution has been devised from Intel: an antenna that with to a converter transforms the radio waves in band VHF or UHF (those of our stations TV in order to be understood) in continuous electric current for feeding any type of device.
Fantascience ? It would not be said, at least according to the Ministry of the Japanese Communication: the Japanese ones assume a standardization of the technology in times breviums to the aim to develop it in the details and in order to concur of the production of mass within 2020.
