Leaked Build Shows Further iPad-ification Of Windows 8

Leaked Build Shows Further iPad-ification Of Windows 8

Posted on Jun 22, 2011 by MG3

Reaction to Microsoft's upcoming Windows 8 OS have been decidedly mixed. The move towards a single OS for both PCs and mobile devices has angered developers and end users alike: worried developers fear that their years of .Net and Silverlight mastery may fall to the wayside as Microsoft shifts focus to standards like CSS and HTML5, and hardcore PC owners hate the idea of iPad-ifying the desktop environment. The latest build of Windows 8 has leaked onto the Net and should only stoke the mixed usage-hating fires.

Windows Much Safer After Microsoft Killed Autorun

Windows Much Safer After Microsoft Killed Autorun

Posted on Jun 22, 2011 by MG3

Autorun is one way for malware to trick a user into installing some nefarious software from removable storage media. An executable could reside on a USB flash drive and, when inserted into a PC, would prompt the user to click the autorun file.
Back in February, Microsoft released an update that curbed autorun behavior for all supported Windows platforms stretching back to Windows XP SP3 to Windows Vista SP2 (Windows 7 already had a "fixed" autorun behavior and Windows XP SP2 was no longer supported through updates).

Microsoft will have to design a text input system for those running Windows 8 without a physical keyboard, and that means a virtual on-screen keyboard.
Winrumors has posted a video from the latest leaked Windows 8 build 7989 that features a new keyboard that features a split variation with emoticon support and predictive text input.

Hulu rumored to be considering a sale after receiving an offer from... Yahoo?

Posted on Jun 22, 2011 by MG3

This afternoon rumors rapidly spread that an unnamed company had offered to purchase Hulu from its media giant owners, and now the LA Times Company Town blog has fingered that entity as Yahoo. According to the initial Wall Street Journal report, the offer received was not solicited, but it has caused the board to consider soliciting offers from other companies. The last time CEO Jason Kilar checked in he was looking forward to breaking one million Hulu Plus subscribers, now we're wondering which giant may be first in line to snap the streaming site up and add its content licenses to their warchest.

Posted on Jun 22, 2011 by MG3

Nokia engineer calls out Stephen Elop for killing MeeGo

Posted on Jun 22, 2011 by MG3

Felipe Contreras, a Senior Software Engineer at Nokia who lives in Finland and works on hardware adaptation for MeeGo, meaning he’s the guy who makes sure MeeGo will properly run on shipping silicon, said in a blog post yesterday that he received an email from Stephen Elop, Nokia’s CEO, that one of MeeGo’s biggest problems going forward was the small amount of devices currently in the pipeline. Felipe says that’s absolute nonsense, that no one he knows believes what Stephen Elop has to say about the matter, and that they could throw MeeGo on as many number of devices as they want to since all the complicated work required to get MeeGo to run on a Texas Instruments OMAP processor had to be do...
