Will this be the farewell to the famous Service Pack? The annual conference of Microsoft Development, called Build, will take place in June. Of course, Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 will have a highly important role during and, as you know, Windows 8 has not been as successful as Microsoft hoped. The operating system was criticized and proved to be liked just because of its design and other features that made ​​it very different from the versions of Windows to which most are used: XP and 7. Of course you need to correct this, and to do that Microsoft has planned a new update: Windows Blue.
But, why do we mention the service pack at the beginning? Because this update will not have the typical format "Windows XP Service Pack 3" and the like, but will be known as " Windows 8.1 ", ie shortly SP could say goodbye forever.
Name the updates and is very unusual for Microsoft, and indeed follows the models used by Apple and Linux operating systems.
If you wonder about the details of the update is not yet known nothing new or no official data. We suggest consulting the Windows Blue link (above) to see what might bring.
In your opinion, what should I include this new update of Windows?

The PC market could fall to the mobile device market

Are you planning the Apocalypse? The mobile device market is slowly "eating" the computers and laptops (especially the first). Some analysts wonder if the generations that are born today and in the years to achieve to put their hands on a computer with tower, which have been around for about 30 years.
A Gartner report predicts that the traditional PC market will contract by 7.6% next year, citing consumers buying smartphones, tablets and other ultra-portable devices as the cause.
Annually, we sell about 2000 million units of devices in the world (we're talking about PCs, phones and tablets). It is expected that this year the figure should reach 2.4 billion, marking an increase of 9% compared to 2012. Of course the device sales continue to increase, but going into details, lower computer sales in favor of smartphones, which will rise next to the tablets.
While many have a smartphone / tablet and use a computer to work (or play), it is expected that mobile gadgets are all that users need in a few years. The "portability" may well surpass the technology if this is so.
Do you think that mobile phones and other PCs raze achieve? Does the iPhone (to name one example) will become the traditional PC replacement?

Attention addicts and fans of Twitter, since there is a new version of the popular app for both iOS and for Android, so I can go to the store Play Google App Store or Apple to download.
That being said, this new version of Twitter enhances user experience to improve navigation at the interface level and speed level, we can also quickly navigate through the tabs we have on display, and when we are doing a search or writing a tweet can see hashtags and usernames as a suggestion, which allows us to connect with our friends and colleagues more quickly. We are not entirely sure, but it appears that these improvements just mentioned are exclusive to the Android app.
What all the versions include (including mobile.twitter.com), are changes when expanding a tweet, as shown best photo galleries, and other applications. Under the content (depending on it) you can also see a link to apps like Foursquare and Path, for example, allowing us to download an app directly from the tweet if you do not have it installed already.
Has anyone already tested the new version of Twitter?

Anonymous attacks North Korea

It is likely that the vast majority of people are falling very badly all threats from North Korea, or rather, of its leader, Kim Jong-un. It seems that for this man there is only one way to "solve" things, and that's with guns and bombs. Because of this, the well-known hacktivist group Anonymous has decided to take action on the matter .
Of course, other weapons and specialization are not Anonymous, but that cyber attacks are your thing. To indicate that you are out there, Anonymous has started attacking social networks and web sites related to North Korea, such as Uriminzokkiri and his Flickr page. Also claim to have 15,000 usernames and passwords obtained from a database of a university.
The movement is called " Operation Free Korea "(Operation Liberate Korea). Anonymous said this: " To the citizens of North Korea suggest them stand up and overthrow this oppressive government. We support them as they travel the road to freedom, democracy and peace. You are not alone. We are not afraid, we are not terrorists, we are the good guys from the Internet.AnonKorea and all other 'Anon' we are here to deliver . "
It also makes clear that Anonymous is trying to distance all we can in the United States, which is North Korea who has more problems.
Do you think the actions of the hacktivist group achieved better or worse situation?

Facebook has decided that the screen of your smartphone , instead of showing a bunch of apps, should show more content. Of course this will not be fit something easy, since we are all used to take a smartphone and instantly see a list of available applications.
Facebook Home is the social network initiative to turn the tables. The idea is that updates of our friends are displayed in real time on the home screen of your mobile phone, thanks to which you can put to a photo Likes quickly and also comment. This also ensure fast access to chat and notifications. In short, it is like having the app on Facebook always open and running . Of course that is only available for Android and a few phones actually.

Microsoft may be developing their own glasses Glass

http://i.imgur.com/sTvFXO8.jpg

The smart glasses (or whatever they are to be known these devices) are the new fashion apparently. Google has certainly started a small revolution in the world of technology with this mixture between smartphone and glasses, as far was not seen anything similar. As I commented that Baidu , the biggest search engine in China, is preparing glasses to compete with Glass ofGoogle , but it is not the only company doing it. Microsoft also joined the party, or rather, war as it is said the giant software would also be developing a similar device to rival any the search engine company.
Rumors about the "wearable technology", to call in some way, have increased significantly in recent months, since the departure of the Glass is closer, but not yet announced. Remember also Apple is working on a modern device that we can use, in this case a watch now known as iWatch.
Analyst Brian J. White is the source of the rumor on glasses of Microsoft, and since it is the first person who touches the subject, it is natural that we have our doubts, especially because analysts are not always right with his "predictions".
Do you think that Microsoft is developing their own glasses or that White is wrong?
