| | | Music Services Compared
Tuesday, May 20, 2008
If you are a hardcore music fan and love to spend hours enjoying music then you’ve probablywell accustomed to big names like Apple iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody, Wal-Mart and Yahoo Music Unlimited, as well as some of the smaller names like. eMusic. All these providers offer a huge selection of music covering many genres. The basics are much the same as they were in 2005 but the playing field has definitely altered. Music downloads are a huge business now, and the potential for growth is just going to keep booming. “We're now in an era where everyone and their brother seem to have digital music featured on their site. And it's all blown up in a way industry insiders had hoped, but no one really anticipated. Labels have their own music shops where tracks can be bought. Streaming downloads have become more important. Portable music players are now ubiquitous, after slimming down in size but seeing storage capacities grow, with video playback now a vital component on many models. Music on cell phones is also quite standard as features go today, with many handsets made to double as music players. In short, wherever you go, whatever you're doing, you can take your music right there with you. Helping illustrate just how prolific music's online presence has become, remember, three years ago MySpace and Facebook were barely twinkles in their parents' eyes. Now, they're giants just starting to dip their toes into the record biz, either directly or indirectly, and act as vital showcases for so many bands, signed and unsigned alike."

| Gates Talks Up Windows 7
Friday, May 16, 2008
Another version of Microsoft Windows is expected to be released by 2010 as the successor of Windows Vista. The upcoming Windows is codenamed “Windows7”. Formerly it was named Blackcomb and Vienna. According to a Microsoft representative “Microsoft is scoping Windows 7 development to a three-year time frame, and then the specific release date will ultimately be determined by meeting the quality bar.“ Even though the time frame is set for three years, it may take longer if it’s buggy and doesn’t hit the “quality bar”. In a press release issued in Tokyo, Japan, Bill Gates commented on Microsoft’s upcoming Windows7: “We're hard at work, I would say, on the next version, which we call Windows 7. I'm very excited about the work being done there. The ability to be lower power, take less memory, be more efficient, and have lots more connections up to the mobile phone, so those scenarios connect up well to make it a great platform for the best gaming that can be done, to connect up to the thing being done out on the Internet, so that, for example, if you have two personal computers, that your files automatically are synchronized between them, and so you don't have a lot of work to move that data back and forth.
Obviously we'd all love it if people had more PCs per average, and so making that simple is important. Also the effort to upgrade, I think that's an area we got a lot of feedback in Vista, that we need to invest in that, and we're going to make that very, very simple for people. So Vista is doing well, and we're hard at work putting even more investment now in the version that comes after that.” Like Windows Vista, Windows7 will also be available in consumer and business versions, and in 32-bit as well as in 64-bit versions. Windows lovers like me, are desperately waiting for “Windows7” to be released soon and hope that the upcoming version of Windows will fix all the current issues faced by Vista users at present. I hope and Windows7 will provide more security features, less memory requirements and lower power consumption with greater stability,.Source: PCMech. (Rating-3.00) | |
