Windows 8 - the most secure OS

As a part of Windows 8, we see a lot of improvements, including in the security field. Moreover, the new system could be the most secure in the line of releases Microsoft. And this is not personal opinions of Microsoft commercials. Its assessment of security Windows 8 gave expert of ESET Aryeh Goretsky. However, he immediately made a reservation, despite the efforts made by Microsoft, you still can not rule out the risk of infection by certain malicious modules.



After all, such a common social engineering approaches often lead to handwritten install malware user. Parallel Goretsky pointed to the problem that Windows 8 will likely not be avoided because the system is not so much technology as hacking "tradition." The fact that the popularity of the system in any case, the authors draw attention to the Trojans.

They, in turn, will make every effort to find security breaches Windows 8. As a result, users will likely have to use a bunch of traditional core platform security, anti-virus solutions and their own sanity.

iPad mini can work 24 hours

Recently the company Sharp has introduced its new tablet called Aquos Pad, which goes on sale in Japan in December. The main feature of this gadget is a display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels and technology IGZO, which enables its battery with 2040 mAh battery life work is 2.5 times longer than the batteries on the market of tablets. Technology IGZO (encoded in the abbreviation name of complex chemical compounds - indium, gallium and zinc) has been much reduced in pixel size, which provides a clear picture and a significant increase in the efficiency of the battery.

Since Sharp supplies displays for various gadgets Apple, the assumption of the possible use of the technology in the new tablet seems to present itself. But we will not dwell on this, but just describe in detail how, in what a spectacular little thing can turn the innovative iPad screen.

In this case, we recall that the battery Aquos Pad has a capacity of 2040 mAh, while the new iPad mini, according to available data, this index will be equal to 4490 mAh. According to Sharp, the hardware configuration of the tablet allows it to operate without recharging for up to 12 hours. Recall arithmetic course for first class and obtain a display Sharp IGZO autonomous operation of the new budget tablet Apple can reach 24 hours. Just imagine: a whole day of continuous video!


Agree: iPad the length of time comparable to the Kindle, can shatter all the feeble attempts of competitors to settle in the tablet segment. However, in addition to planning in terms of hardware, there is another important strategic component - marketing. If killing the screen from Sharp to appear on the iPad mini, it will allow us to speculate on what will be of a new generation of "big» iPad. Apart Connector Lightning, an updated and improved dynamic camera in view of the above, it also can expect the same display. However, we are dreaming, let's return to earth.

Knowing the company Apple, which did not miss his attention any technology that can allow it even harder to break away from the competition and strengthen its position as an innovator of global scale, we can be sure that sooner or later she will want to use this display in their products. And if 23 October, we will not see the display on the IGZO iPad mini, this technology may well appear at the next sentence iPad or, say, MacBook Air. Would not have any of you gave up a laptop that can run all day without having to run to the outlet.

Of course, guesswork thankless, besides about the technology IGZO know that while it is available only for tablets with 7-inch (iPad mini, we recall, is a bit more). However, the idea that the period of autonomy of our favorite gadget can be more than doubled, at least encouraging.

Tablet for $ 99: the first features

Extra-Google tablet costs only $ 99 to appear on the market later this year, just before the Christmas sales, the publication DigiTimes. In addition, it was learned some of the characteristics of new items. So, what was sacrificed for the sake of an attractive price tag?

First, we had to give up the quad-core Tegra 3 in favor of a cheaper chip WM8950 from Taiwanese manufacturer WonderMedia Technologies, which includes a single-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor with a clock frequency of 800 MHz and a pretty decent graphics accelerator Mali-400 MP. Recall, the same schedule is set to Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Note. Power of this processor will be enough to play the video format Full HD, well, in conjunction with improvements in the Android 4.1 (maybe even new released running Android 4.2) specific gaps in the performance of common tasks you should not be overlooked.

Entrusted the production of displays another Taiwanese company HannStar Display. Rather, in order to save the resolution will be reduced from 1280 x 800 to 1024 x 600 pixels. According to DigiTimes, the assembly cost tablet Google will take over the company Quanta Computer.

Superbyudzhetny gugloplanshet can compete not only iPad Mini, the price of which can not be called very affordable, but also become a rival Chinese no name-producers at the expense of its quality.

I wonder if you would have purchased a tablet or is it believed that the best podnakopit and buy a more powerful device?

Mass production of these superdispleev not be an easy task for the Samsung, so we will not be surprised if the announcement of the new gugloplansheta will transfer at a later date. Whatever it was, the official statement from the Internet giant, we expect in the near future.

As you consider whether Nexus 10 compete iPad 3?
