Windows 8 Release Preview

Windows 8 is an upcoming version of Microsoft Windows, a series of operating systems produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, Microsoft Tablet PCs, and Home theater PCs. According to unofficial sources, the release date for Windows 8 has been set for October 2012, three years after the release of its predecessor, Windows 7. Windows 8's server counterpart, Windows Server 2012, is in development concurrently with Windows 8. The most recent official pre-release version of Windows 8 is the Release Preview, which was released on May 31, 2012.

Unlike Windows 7, which was intended to be a more focused, incremental upgrade to the Windows line, Windows 8 has been "reimagined from the chipset to the user experience" to connect more with the user. It features the Metro interface that is designed for touch screen input similar to that in Windows Phone and on the Xbox 360. A version of Windows 8, called Windows RT, also adds support for the ARM processor architecture in addition to the previously supported microprocessors from Intel and AMD.

CentOS 5.8 Officially Released.!

Hey guys
 finally here is another release of linux operating system now this time it is CentOS .


About CentOS 5.8


CentOS is a community enterprise operating system, based on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux sources and 


available for the following architectures: Intel 32-bit, Intel IA-64 (Itanium 64-bit), 64-bit (AMD's AMD64 


and 


Intel's Intel 64). Additionally, CentOS is a 100% free Linux distribution fully compatible with Red Hat 


Enterprise Linux.


CentOS 5.8 is available as an installable DVD ISO image (see download link at the end of the article) for 


both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures and it is based on the upstream release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 


5.8.

Released within a week from the Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.8, the CentOS 5.8 distribution contains lots 


of updated packages, bugfixes and new functionality.

As usual with a new CentOS release, this one also includes packages from all Red Hat Enterprise Linux

command in root terminal window.

"Upgrading from CentOS-5.7 ( or CentOS-5.0/5.1/5.2/5.3/5.4/5.5/5.6): If you are already running 


CentOS-5.7 or any older CentOS-5 version then all you need to do is update your machine via yum 


by running : 'yum update'"

"Running 'yum list updates' before doing the update is recommended, so you can get a list of 


packages that are going to be updated." - said Johnny Hughes in the official release announcement.

Moreovoer, the CentOS 5.8 operating system was completely rebuilt using a brand-new build system and 


library checks, in order to confirm Red Hat Enterprise Linux binary compatibility.

Android Users: Here's Some Advice to Protect Your Phones

Android smartphone users can take some common sense precautions to protect their personal data from being stolen -- important advice considering an app developer purports to know how to take the information in under 60 seconds.

Loredana Botezatu of BitDefender, a cybersecurity software maker, recommends:

• Never lose sight of your smartphone in public.
• Keep a close eye on what a person is doing with your phone if you lend it to someone.
• Install mobile anti-malware software on your phone.
• Don't store job-related information on your phone unless it's encrypted.

The advice comes as a gray hat app developer has released into the wild five tools purportedly for "study purposes" that can clean out all the data on an Android smartphone in less than a minute.

Based on information from virus researchers at BitDefender, here's how the tools work.

When any of the apps is loaded on a victim's phone, they can be activated remotely by a cyber thief. Once activated, it sends a five digit pass code to the phone's intruder and secretly uploads the device's contacts, messages, recent calls, and browser history into the developer's space in the Android Cloud. After copying the data from the phone, the apps uninstall themselves so a target won't know they were even on their mobile.

To obtain data sucked from a phone, a Net crook need only travel to the developer's cloud location, enter the five-digit code generated by their copy of the app and for $5 they can download all the data nicked by the sinister software.

In an ironic twist, the developer has posted a notice at their site informing users of the apps that if they don't pay for the data they've stolen within 24 hours of the theft, all the information will be erased from the site "out of respect and for security reasons." "[N]eedless to say...this statement is by no means to be trusted," Botezatu cautions.

This latest attack on Android phones is just one of many this year. In fact, the phones are seen as a ripe target for mobile miscreants. According to a report released by a cybersecurity software maker in August, attacks on Android by malware writers jumped 76 percent over the previous three months, making it the most assaulted mobile operating system on the planet.

Some of that malware has been devilishly clever. For example, a bad app called Soundminer listens to conversations on an Android phone and is able to recognize when a credit card is spoken. After identifying such a number, it snips it from the conversation it has been recording and sends it to a Web baddie.

While cyber sorties like these may give some smartphone buyers pause before picking up an Android mobile, some commentators believe the benefits of an open system like Android outweigh those of systems with less openness and less vulnerability to attack. "Threats are everywhere," JR Raphael wrote in PC World. "The answer isn't locking down the world; it's taking basic precautions."

Google Expands Android App Size from 50MB to 4GB

Google is giving Android app developers a lot more room to work with, expanding the maximum Android app size from 50MB to 4GB.

Although Android apps were free to exceed the size limit before, developers had to host the data on their own. For users, that meant downloading additional files from within the app after installing the core app from the Android Market. The extra downloads were a nuisance and would eat into the 15-minute refund window for Android apps.

Under the new system, Android .APK files will still be limited to 50MB, but Google will host up to two expansion files, each up to 2GB. Most newer devices will download these expansions automatically, and the refund window will not begin until all files are in place.

Some older devices will still have to use a separate downloader, but Google now offers its own developer tool for this purpose. This tool can download files in the background, resume large files safely, pause and resume based on Wi-Fi availability and notify users of estimated completion time. If you've ever put up with extra file downloads in games like Gun Bros. and Asphalt 6, the prospect of a more user-friendly should come as a relief.

In both cases, users will be able to see the total size of the app from within the Android Market, solving another issue with app developers' own download tools.

Although most apps don't have troubling coming in under 50MB, size limits are a big concern for game developers, who need to pack their apps with image and video assets. As phones and tablets move toward higher-resolution displays, the need for larger apps will only grow.

Google Augmented Reality Glasses Expected by Year's End

Google is working on pair of augmented reality glasses running on Android, set for release later this year, according to the New York Times, which quoted unnamed company employees. The glasses are meant to work like a heads-up-display that analyzes and displays information for the wearer, priced somewhere between $250 and $600.

The Google glasses are reportedly based on Android and will also have a 3G or 4G data connection along with several sensors, including GPS and motion. Earlier reports on the technology from 9 To 5 Google also indicate there will be a few buttons on the arms of the glasses, but otherwise, they could be mistaken with regular thick-rimmed eyewear, similar to Oakley’s Thump sunglasses with a built-in MP3 player.It appears there will be only one display in the glasses (for one eye), which won’t be transparent. The navigation system sounds interesting: you would be able to scroll and clock through menus by tilting your head -- but this could be quite weird when you are in a public space, navigating through the glasses menus, tilting your head back and forth.Some other reported technology in the glasses would be Google Latitude to share location and the Goggles service to search images and identify what the wearer is looking at, while Maps would show you things nearby. Unlike smartphones, the results from these searches would be overlaid on top of the real-time video feed from the glasses camera (augmented reality), but it’s still unclear whether the glasses would be an independent gadget, or if they would be tied to a smartphone for data connectivity, which wouldn’t require a separate data plan for your smart glasses.
