Several sites that specialize in products Apple have begun to notice in your records that have received visits from computers running operating system OS X 10.9, or in other words, with the next version of the Apple OS. In addition, several sites have confirmed that the visits came from the Apple network, so they are more than legitimate.
It should not surprise that Apple is already testing with the next version of OS X. The next version of this operating system is expected, approximately, for the month of May or June next year, so it makes sense that are already being tested, especially to leave the platform ready for developers to build their applications and software before the final release.
Now we know that a new version of OS X is on the way, it's time to get a big question: what will be used to name feline? Those who have already used are: Kodiak, Cheetah, Puma, Jaguar, Panther, Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion.

Makes several days ago we talked about the possibility that Microsoft will start producing more hardware , and the CEO of the company said that was unlikely, but never specified what kind of products would be talking.
It seems that now we know a little more. It is possible that the two most successful devices are created by Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Surface tablet, so ... why not combine them? Exactly, it seems that the giant software is developing what will be known as the Xbox Surface, a 7-inch tablet.
This is a tablet that will use the technology of an ARM processor, but also talks about the possibility of using an Intel processor. Regarding the operating system, will be a modified version of Windows you have several common functions found in any tablet.
Apparently, the Xbox Surface is being developed in secret (not so secret actually, because if it were I would not be writing this) in some buildings that Microsoft has in the Silicon Valley and much of the staff of the company has no authorized access.
In response to what is said about the Xbox Surface, a spokesman said MS will not comment on rumors or speculation.
Do you think it's true?

Apple might start using ARM processors rather than Intel in Macs

It has been more than seven years since Apple adopted Intel processors for use on their Macs, but this relationship may come to an end. According to rumors emerged yesterday morning, Apple is seriously considering starting to use ARM processors in their computers and laptops .
Sources close to the company say that several of the engineers are confident that the maker of chips that use the iPad, iPod and iPhone will also begin to create lines processors for Mac
But this is not just a change from one provider to another. It also means a complete change at the architectural level. One of the great benefits of the Intel x86 architecture is that Mac users can install Windows on another partition using Boot Camp. It may still be possible by installing Windows RT (known as Windows 8 for ARM), but application compatibility OS would not be the same.
However, this change is not imminent, and it seems that is just beginning to be considered to take place within a couple of years.
