The challenge of operating an aging and content-rich WordPress blog is to never let content be fully relegated to the archives, which most users aren't likely to peruse on their own free time.

Microsoft promises cheap Windows 8 upgrade for Windows 7, Vista, XP users

Microsoft is ensuring its upcoming Windows 8 operating system is made available to the maximum number of existing Windows users. And the Redmond-based software giant is leaving no stone unturned to give Windows 8 enthusiasts a taste of the OS at an inexpensive price. Just last month, Microsoft revealed a Windows 8 upgrade offer for just Rs. 699, and it generated quite a buzz among Windows enthusiasts. According to that specific announcement, Windows 7 users who buy a PC (desktop or laptop) between June 2012 and January 2013 were entitled for a low-cost upgrade to Windows 8 Pro. Microsoft is topping that announcement with a limited-time offer that allows not only Windows 7 users, but also those stuck on Windows XP and Windows Vista to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro for just US $39.99. That's approximately Rs. 2,200, presuming the existing Rupee-vs-Dollar rate doesn't change. Not a bad price for a brand new Windows 8 copy, if you ask me. In a blog post, Microsoft gave additional details of the limited-time Windows 8 upgrade offer. While the Rs. 699 Windows 8 upgrade offer is only for relatively newer Windows 7 PCs, the limited-time $40 upgrade to Windows 8 ropes in almost anyone using a genuine Windows 7, Vista and XP machine. If you are more comfortable buying a DVD from a retail store, you can buy a upgrade to Windows 8 Pro disc for US $69.99 during this promotion, according to Microsoft's blog post. To upgrade to Windows 8 through this offer, interested users will have to visit Windows.com and purchase a copy of Microsoft's upcoming OS in the coming months. The Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant promises to keep things simple by walking you through a step-by-step process from purchase to download and finally to installation. This offer will be available in 131 markets, according to Microsoft. It's unclear whether India's part of the program, all attempts to reach a Microsoft India spokesperson were futile. We'll update this article as soon as we hear more.

Jelly Bean Impressions: Android’s Most Important Update Yet

Android 4.1, or "Jelly Bean" as it's nicknamed, is not an update full of showstopping features. You can gather that much from the version number, in which only the decimal has changed. But don't be fooled; Jelly Bean is arguably the most important new version in Android history. More than ever, Google understands what it has to do to make Android a top-notch phone and tablet operating system for ordinary consumers, not just tech-savvy users. Instead of just piling on more features with Android 4.1, Google is focused on usability. Project Butter Google's so-called "Project Butter" is a big part of Android's newfound usability. Four years after the first Android phone shipped, and a year after the first wave of tablets, Android matches Apple's iOS in smoothness. Although the last Android update, Ice Cream Sandwich, added hardware acceleration to make scrolling smoother, Jelly Bean picks up on finger swipes immediately, and extends the smoothness across the user interface. To test this, I held a phone in each hand, one running Ice Cream Sandwich, and the other running Jelly Bean. The ICS phone always took a moment to detect my thumb swipes and jumped to pick up the slack, while the Jelly Bean phone started scrolling immediately. The Android fan base of geeks may not care so much about Project Butter. It's just a cosmetic change, not a new feature. But when a phone or tablet responds perfectly to the touch, it creates a magic moment, one that was exclusive to the iPhone for years (In fairness, Windows Phones are just as smooth.) It's more fun to use a device that doesn't lag or get choppy. On tablets especially, where having fun is a top priority, Project Butter will make Android a worthy competitor to the iPad. Remembering the Newbies The significance of Jelly Bean isn't just about Project Butter. It's also about the little tweaks that Google made to help ordinary users figure out Android. A few examples: Widgets are easier to add in Android 4.1. When you hold one over the home screen, other apps and widgets slide around to make room, and the widget resizes itself to fit when you drop it on the page. It's also worth noting that in Android 4.0, the master lists of apps and widgets were combined into a single menu, so people who were oblivious to widgets before might actually notice, and give them a spin with Android 4.1. Google is placing media front-and-center in Jelly Bean. On the Nexus 7 tablet, the home screen shows a visualized list of your movies, music, books and magazines in the form of a giant widget, and the app tray is filled with Google's own multimedia apps. The message–yes, Google sells consumable content–was missing from previous Android tablets. Google Chrome becomes the default browser in new Jelly Bean devices, starting with the Nexus 7. It's miles ahead of the previous stock Android browser, and it's a brand that people will recognize and latch onto. (As evidence, I submit Chrome's new iOS app, which is already at the top of the App Store's popularity chart.) Finally, there's Google Now, a competitor to Apple's Siri that was strangely announced without a lot of fanfare. The interesting thing about Google Now isn't that it has a computerized voice that answers questions, but that it works automatically by figuring out usage patterns. It learns where you live, and tells you the weather in the morning. It remembers your work commute and warns you when there's a traffic jam. If you're waiting at a train platform, it tells you when the next train is coming. The importance of the automation shouldn't be underestimated. In the past, Android's biggest lure was the ability to customize it, but I've seen too many ordinary users ignore everything that they can do with the device, because they don't have time or inclination to learn. I haven't used Google Now enough to render a verdict, but if it works as advertised, it could be revolutionary. (I get the feeling Google Now is a work in progress, which might explain why Google isn't going nuts about it.) Of course, Jelly Bean's improvements don't mean much if phone and tablet makers don't update their devices in a timely manner. The slow delivery of updates has been a major failing of Android, but Google says it has a plan: Two months before the launch of new versions, hardware makers will get access to a "platform development kit," designed to help them get their devices up to speed. Select partners have already received the kit for Jelly Bean. Time will tell if this strategy works, but it's at least a more concrete plan than the failed Android Update Alliance, which as far as I could tell was just empty words. Android 4.1 isn't perfect. In my time with the Nexus 7 tablet, I ran into occasional glitches, such as apps that crash, and web pages that render Chrome unresponsive. It's unreleased software, and I hope Google works out the kinks. Either way, the latest version of Android is a pleasure to use. Most importantly, you needn't be a tech whiz to truly enjoy it.

Career in mobile app development

A mobile app i.e. a mobile application is an application developed for mobile phones and smartphones. In simple terms, a mobile app is a software programme for ones phone. These can be as simple as a basic flashlight application or a dictionary or something similar to a Google Maps navigation app. There are mobile apps developed for entertainment like the Facebook and Twitter app (social media networks) or the Angry Birds mobile app (games). Mobile applications are basically a lighter version of computer applications meant for mobile devices/tablet devices, which cater to infotainment and entertainment. The mobile applications market is not just restricted to general users but has also reached out to business and institutional users. This ever-changing and growing industry and its revenue generation opportunities have not only enticed customers, but also business conglomerates. The year 2011 witnessed a breakthrough for mobile application development and many new players have entered this domain, there will be more in the coming days. This year featured a steep rise in text messaging, Smartphone purchases and mobile advertising. Location-based services, social networking application, m-commerce, context-aware service, object recognition, mobile instant messaging and mobile payment or mobile money transfer will be the areas of growth. Also, more social games apps in mobile devices will be developed. Industry status The mobile application market is rapidly growing and gaining popularity as an emerging job opportunities market. India is the third fastest growing app market in the world. As per Gartner report, Indias active mobile connections will exceed 900 million by 2016, which translates to 72% penetration. According to Trai in January 2012 the number of active mobile connections in India has reached 659.99 million and the total mobile subscriber base stands at 903.72 million. It is estimated that every Indian user spends nearly 52 minutes per-day using mobile apps. Similarly, mobile app economy-estimated at nearly $4 billion (Rs 20,000 crore) in 2009 and expected to grow to $18 billion in half a decade-continues to expand exponentially. There is an increase in the demand of mobile applications as more and more people are using smart phones. It has been projected that mobile value-added services market (which includes mobile apps) will reach Rs 214.1 crore by the end of 2012 from Rs 158.6 crore in 2011. Revenue generated by mobile VAS was INR 122 billion, as on March 2011. It is estimated to reach Rs 482 billion by 2015. Growth areas The future is mobile and all the services and offerings are going to run through application. India has more mobile connections than PCs or TVs and landline phones. Mobile app development is evolving to integrate with television, in-car navigation and entertainment, shopping, commerce and banking. It is safe to say that the future of apps is This talks about future growth prospects in the industry. Mobile operators have seen a significant growth in revenues through VAS, which has significantly increased demand for mobile application developers. This booming industry is struggling to get quality developers who have ideas and creativity. Go to any job site and you will observe the number of jobs that come under the M-VAS industry. Here the demand and supply ratio is inadequate and industry is looking for talented professionals. Planning a career in this industry will surely be a good move. As it can be seen, there is more demand than supply because there arent enough good mobile developers. As mobile phone companies look to attract users through applications, the demand for application developers is growing and will grow. Skill-sets required Since mobile apps are based on the IT platform, application developers should have a BTech (computer application) or MCA degree with experience of gateways/servers (WAP, XML, VXML, WTA, etc), browsers (WML, XHTML), clients (SMS, e-mail, chat etc), and stacks (WAP2.0 and TCP/IP). Apart from developers, the industry also seeks product and content creators who could be experienced graphics designers, content writers, researchers, etc. Innovation and out-of-the-box thinking can allow freshers in the industry to grow quickly. With the changing technology, keeping pace with industry trends, technological innovations and new products in the market, it is important that freshers constantly update themselves with the latest developments. One should also have the ability to understand client requirements, change specifications promptly, if needed, and have the confidence to sell the product in the market. If one wants to become a mobile app developer , one would need to be proficient in a programming language such as C, C++ , Objective C for writing applications on iOS (iPhone, iPad) or Java (Android, Blackberry OS). Now private academies and training institutes too offer short-term crash courses and one-year diploma courses in apps development. Remuneration The starting salary of a developer at the entry level could be from Rs 3-5 lakh per annum depending on the technology they are working on. Those who are working on content at the entry level could expect anything in the range of Rs 2.5-4 lakh per annum.

First MacBook Pro with Retina Display locking mechanism now available

MacLocks has released the first locking mechanism for the new MacBook Pro with Retina Display. This new lock is a notable product release because the new MacBook Pro with Retina Display lacks the built-in Kensington lock adapter that is present on the last-generation MacBook Pro design. Since the lock slot isn't present on these new MacBook Pros, the MacLocks kit comes with a polymer shell that sits on the bottom of the MacBook Pro, and their locking system attaches to this. MacLocks says the bottom piece is not removable without damage to the computer. The company also says that the bottom piece improves cooling for the notebook, and a MacBook Air model is available as well. The locking kit is available for pre-order at $69.95.
