One of the most interesting events of yesterday Microsoft Windows 8 tablets that the future could easily become fully functional computers with the Windows operating system is the same. But what about Windows 8 phones? Could you do that? How to interpret a smile president Steven Sinofsky Windows to be a yes?
Sinofsky, along with the corporate vice president Julie Larson-Green, opened the kimono on Windows 8 D9 Conference yesterday. You'll find plenty of news coverage on Techmeme. Perhaps most interesting was the idea that Windows 8 will be tables and laptops alike.
The operating system Tabtop
Tabtops even run Windows 8! What are they? I made the name, but the actual hardware is shown, portable computers with touch screens. Want to use touch to control something? Reach and interact through the screen of your laptop. Or use the keyboard and mouse. Both work.
The Microsoft press release says:
A Windows-based PC 8 is actually a new type of device, one of the scales for small screens only through large touch screens with or without a keyboard and mouse.
Well, a phone is a small touch screen device. Will Windows 8 will run on that? If so, that might be enormous.
The Dual Duel OS
Consider that Apple, Google and Microsoft have a problem "dual operating system, where each supports an operating system for mobile operating systems and desktop:
* Apple: Mac OS IOS Mac to iPhone, iPad, iTouch
* Google: ChromeOS to Chromebooks; Android Android phones and devices (including Google TV)
* Microsoft: PC with Windows 7, Windows 7 for Windows Phone
While "Windows 7" may sound like Windows 7 is actually a completely different operating system. Not run a Windows 7 on a phone device in Windows 7, most of what you'll find an IOS application from your iPhone to your MacBook.
Is it a problem?
I called this the "dual problem of operating system, but do not really know if a major problem in reality. Google has developed especially for the" why both Android and ChromeOS "but rarely see this as a matter of Apple (although Apple is not close, it can occur, and lost.)
There has been some anticipation that I read in the past, and MacOS IOS fusion. But that is not likely to be announced next week at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference. Mac OS "Lion" and the IOS 5 is still listed as separate products. There may be a surprise.
Google certainly has not said it expects a merger ChromeOS Android operating system in the short term. In fact, Android has been divided into Android Android 2.0 and 3. 0, which is almost exclusively for the tablets. The company said in a recent Google I / O conference that the division will continue until 4 Android is out, which in turn will be for both devices.
As I said, these are the divisions between the desktop and mobile operating systems that much of a problem? Certainly have not diminished or Apple or Google below. In addition, more applications and cloud data is based on the browser is becoming the universal operating system final.
The only device
However, it has a real phone that works like a real computer would be quite interesting. Suppose you have an HDMI output for a screen and a USB input for a keyboard, mouse and other devices. Plug it in, and you have a "real" computer.
It's a little intriguing. In fact, it is here in the form of Atrix Motorola Android, which can be installed on a laptop, so it is a team. Except not really - is not going to work at their normal style of applications "portable" that way.
But a true Windows 8 phone that can play a role in connecting the laptop? It's all in a single device. Grab your "laptop" from your desktop, and you're ready for business as usual. But to get the phone to the laptop after the meetings, and still has it all - the data from the label, label applications, local data, local applications - if you need it.
No comments, just a smile
It is possible, but it will happen? Sinofsky took after his talk and asked D9 - Windows 8, the entire operating system, phones running on future?
Sinofsky smiled, and smiled big, but would only say that it is not something that Microsoft has announced yet. Therefore, to wait and see.
And if it happens? Getting to that unification "first" does not necessarily mean that Microsoft somehow "win" in it. For one thing, it actually works properly on phone-sized devices? That remains to be seen.
On the other hand, it also means that Windows 7 updates the orphaned users. Applications for the platform have probably not run on Windows 8 devices
Although the future may allow the foreskin to the city government (through San Francisco and Santa Monica), it seems that what our children can and can not do with their mobile devices while in class will be determined and not on a case by case basis or by the directors, but in Sacramento - the California State Legislature.
Senators unanimously approved a bill that sexting a violation for that school officials can expel students.
Sen. Ted Lieu, Torrance Democrat who introduced the bill, said sexting is a growing problem in schools in California, according to AP. He cited a study saying that 20 percent of teenagers reported sending or posting photos nude or semi naked and videos of themselves.
Place the bill - SB 919 - defined as sexting, send or receive sexually explicit images or video images through electronic act. "If approved would become an amendment to the Interagency School Safety Demonstration Act of 1985.
But there is another problem in schools in California, Senator Lugar. He has no money and run.
State lawmakers decided to do things like balancing the state budget, improve education and keep in check the governor. But as Governor Brown is losing billions of dollars in state education budget and tens of thousands of teachers have been fired this year, our state senators are apparently reducing their priorities for child care duties.
Moreover, the only way to know exactly what a student is doing with your cell phone or mobile device is to confiscate and get to the Patriot Act contained therein.
No doubt soon: a proposal that would ban sexting as a state legislator in California.
