Kindle Fire's the Cheapest Tablet

Amazon recently launched Kindle Fire tablets are sold at amazing prices cheap, only 199 U.S. dollars. Many do not think the price of a tablet can be as cheap as Amazon's Kindle and considers that the presence of Fire will definitely interfere with "convenience" market dominated tablet costs about 500 dollars.

The question then is, what devices will be singed and wiped out by the Fire Kindle? Is iPad that dominate 80 percent of the tablet market in America today? Samsung Galaxy Color Tab and Nook from Barnes & Noble began to grow that market? Or players "small" like a BlackBerry Playbook, HTC, and other tablets?
Kindle Fire tablet with a 7-inch and reinforced by the content ecosystem Amazon price of 199 U.S. dollars when compared iPad might like oranges and apples. However, he also could be a killer iPad.

Specification does not have a Kindle Fire the camera, only 8 GB capacity, no phones and GPS options may lose much with the Apple iPad. But in difficult times like today, people would not care all the advantages iPad.

Kindle Fire managed to capture the niche market who want a cheap tablet. In addition, Kindle Fire also has the support of Amazon Prime content that provide video content. In addition to working with 20th Century Fox, which could provide more content and access to the Netflix movies that is not restricted.
What about the Kindle vs. Fire Nook Color? In recent times, Nook Color may dominate at a price of 249 U.S. dollars. But now with the Kindle Fire, it is clear from the price of the Color Nook has lost. Thus, there is much potential for Nook Color to lose the war with the Kindle Fire.

To survive, Nook Color should be able to compete in terms of price. Price Nook Touch may need to be cut 10 dollars and Nook Color which will be launched next foreseeable future need to have competitive prices, maximum of 229 U.S. dollars, or just a difference of 20 U.S. dollars from the Kindle Fire.
Nook Color in services have many drawbacks compared to Kindle Fire. First, the application stores Nook Color is growing, but has not approached the completeness of the Android application store in the Kindle Fire. In addition, Nook Color also has no video content, books, or magazines are complete in the Kindle Fire.

Understanding God's Plan

Understanding God's Plan
"Sorry wrong number". SMS was entered some time after I send an SMS to a friend. The answer I received from a friend it makes me wonder. Why did my friend say the wrong number?
Feel bad, I sent an SMS to say sorry again. Then I want my name on the end of the SMS in the hope if it's true my friend's phone number, then he will realize that sends an SMS that was me. Pretty soon my phone rang. On the screen appeared a number of my friends. "Excuse me Mr. Andy, my name Wahidin. I work in immigration, "said the voice on the other side. Apparently these numbers are not my friend's phone number. After a few pleasantries I apologized and closed the conversation.

Nothing special about that event. I just wonder why can either record the phone numbers of friends. But a month later I received a text message from Mr Wahidin. After reminding me that SMS never stray into his cell phone, he then informed in a village in Subang was a little boy, age 9 years, which has to bear the pain because of an abnormality in the body. The boy had no anus. If the bowel movement through his cock. "Maybe Mr. Andy can help," wrote Mr. Wahidin while including your name, address and contact number of the child.

I said I do not promise, but will try to find someone who can help the child. After that, I send stories via SMS to the child of a head of a hospital in South Jakarta. The next day I got the answer, "Mr. Andy, I'm still in Italy. Can I get more complete data from the child? Arriving in Jakarta, I will discuss with team doctor. "

Two weeks later, a team of Kick Andy had to pick up the child and took him to Jakarta. The hospital agreed to perform the operation. For the first phase, will be created "sinkhole" in the stomach. After that just made the anus for permanent disposal.

Three days later, I received an SMS from the head of the hospital. "Thank God the surgery went well. Hopefully everything goes according to plan ". For a moment I was shocked to read the SMS. There is a sense of emotion that fulfill niche liver. "Lord, thank you," I muttered to myself. I really did not expect all went so quickly and smoothly. Even the hospital treating Ani is very special. Ani and his father all the needs for all items covered in Jakarta hospital.

At night I mused. Ah, if you think about God's plan is often difficult to understand the human mind. Includes hard for me to understand why I am wrong mobile phone number of my friends noted. It is hard to understand why Mr. Wahidin I know because a wrong number menginformaskan condition of a child in a village far away
small in Subang in need of help. Also difficult to understand by human reason response hospital willing to do free surgery. In fact, such an operation would require a large fee. Leadership of the hospital and even then I've just met and we just love to meet.

Human reason is not going to ever be able to digest the plan of God. God's plan is only able to digest through faith. Therefore, I believe all that happened was not something that happens. Since my friend's phone number one record, in fact God has "set" to bring me with Ani. Then via SMS "stray", the Lord put me in touch with Mr. Wahidin. Through Wahidin Mr. Lord told there is a child who needs help in Subang. Then God "commanded" me to contact the head of the hospital. Then everything ended with an operation by a team of doctors to Ani.

From the beginning, God has arranged everything for Ani. Mr Wahidin, head of the hospital, the doctors who operated on, and all those who helped - including me - just got a "duty" to help Annie. After understanding all that, I then smiled. "Thank you Lord, you have to include me to run a noble mission."

Windows8 Reviews

Windows 8 Reviews
Windows 8 offers an interface and experience a truly new for Windows users. However, for users of touch-screen gadget, the presence of Windows 8 is nothing more than follow the developments that era, in which the role of a keyboard and mouse were taken over by the touch and sweep of a finger.

After Microsoft released Windows 8 trial version for developers, two days ago, I immediately downloaded the file. I have used is a 32 bit Windows Developer Preview of 2.8 GB. Files ending in. Iso must be burned into the DVD first. Previously, I tried to install directly from the hard disk and flash disk, but stopped in the middle of the road. Installing this operating system must use DVDs.

The installation process does not take long. Only about one-third the time required to install Windows 7 that have previously been embedded in laptops. The green color will dominate the display during installation.

Installation is complete, users will be immediately taken to the Start page is no longer attached to the Taskbar. In the newest version, Windows Start Menu Start page transformed into elongated shades of green that is filled with the default application buttons. This is the entrance of Windows that is fully dedicated to the device touch screen. This view is immediately reminded me of the iPad who became my second device within the last year.

Please note, in this trial version, all applications (beyond the Windows default application) that exist in previous versions of Windows can not be used in this version, including Microsoft Office applications.

Due to Microsoft's latest operating system I use in Acer laptop, touch screen features can not be used. However, it does not matter, because Windows 8 can still be used on computers or laptops without the touch screen. To scroll to another menu, I simply roll up the page with your mouse or click the arrow button at the bottom of the Start page. While in the top corner, there is the user profile whose picture can be replaced by utilizing existing webcam.

Although the look of the Start Menu changes, Windows still maintains the old view that here referred to as "Desktop". Once you click on the Desktop menu, you will return to the old atmosphere, complete with pictures desktop, Taskbar panel, and the "Start" Windows logo in the lower left corner.

But, once again, the Start button will not remove a row of menu as in previous versions. When you click the Windows logo or pressing the Start button on the keyboard, you will be pulled back to the Start page. In addition, you can highlight the mouse to the left corner of the taskbar to bring up the buttons governance consists of the Settings menu, Devices, Share, and Search.

When it gets into Windows Explorer, I find the display a new menu that is more structured. I consider this view as the standardization of Microsoft Office 2010 appearance that, in addition to the Windows Explorer, also applied to the WordPad application.

To move to the previous application, you can still use the key combination Alt + Tab or Windows key + Tab (but animated Aero does not come out in this version). In addition, you can switch between applications by attaching the cursor to the left side of the screen. A minilayar will exit near the cursor which will take you to another application.

Top Features Windows 8

Windows 8
After the successful launch of Windows 7 in 2009, the company continues to rule the desktop.

This is the top 8 features Windows 8:

Touch-Friendly User Interface


Touch-friendly user interface
Microsoft has demoed a flashy new user interface filled with touch-friendly live tiles that show everything from the news to your social media updates. Windows 8 also supports full-screen HTML 5 applications on the desktop and the ability to switch between apps with a single swipe to the left or right.
“Tiles are better than icons,” Jensen Harris, director of PM: Windows User Experience, said in a demo video. “They have a little more space for the app to show its personality. Despite the slickness of the new OS, Microsoft may have a hard time convincing users that an interface that looks more like Windows Phone 7 than Windows 7 will work well on non-touch devices.
Fortunately, a traditional-style Windows desktop will be available for apps that require it.


Snap for Multitasking
Multitasking
By default, Windows 8 won't even have traditional windows as native apps will run full screen without title bars or minimize/maximize widgets. Microsoft's Harris demoed Snap in this Microsoft video.

Improved file copy feature
Improved File Copy
Windows' obtuse file copying function has been a minor annoyance for years. With Windows 8, Microsoft puts all current copy operations into a single dialog box where you can check their progress and pause/resume them.

ARM Processor Support
ARM Processor Support
Windows 8 will be the first Microsoft operating system to run on ARM-based processors in addition to traditional x86 chips from Intel and AMD. At Computex Taipei, Microsoft VP of Windows Planning Mike Angiulo showed that both an ARM device and a standard x86 PC could run the same piano playing application. He also demoed a notebook based Nvidia’s quad core Kal El CPU that could run Microsoft Office and print documents to a standard printer

Web Apps On The Desktop
Like HP with its WebOS and RIM with BlackBerry Tablet OS, Microsoft plans to
Wb Apps on The Desktop
support a new class of programs called “Tailored Apps” that will use standard web languages such as HTML 5 and JavaScript, but be able to interact with the hardware and file system. By supporting these well-known languages, Microsoft can attract an army of additional developers and, since these they run through a browser engine, compatibility across both ARM and x86 hardware platforms is assured.
However, we don’t know exactly how developers using Microsoft’s .NET framework and other popular programming languages will be able to build apps that work on both the ARM and x86 flavors of Windows 8.


Windows 8 App Store
Windows 8 App Store
With Apple adding a Mac App Store for to OS X and everyone from Amazon to Lenovo getting into the app store game on mobile, a Windows 8 app store seems like a no-brainer. Given the windowed appearance of this picture, we can only guess that this is either a fake, an early version or a version designed for Windows 7 users. We suspect that the final Windows 8 app store will have the same kind of tiled interface as other native Win 8 apps.

Native USB 3.0 Support

USB 3.0
Though USB 3.0 controllers and devices will work under Windows 7 with third-party drivers, Microsoft is building native drivers into Windows 8 and developing an efficient new USB software stack. Your blazing fast external SSD should work better than ever!



Kinect gesture control and other input methods
Microsoft hasn't announced support for Kinect-style gesture control, but long-time
Kinect Gesture Control
observers feel confident that when Windows 8 launches in 2012, it will be there. Windows Supersite's Paul Thurott told us he expects Microsoft to not only support gestures but all kinds of new input methods, including voice control and facial recognition.

From the side view, the operating system presents a fresh menu like Windows Phone 7. The first screen presents a collection of information directly from the applications in use and the menus are arranged neatly with a design called the Metro. From the start menu, its consumer can also directly access the list of friends in social networking and menus favorites sufficiently shift the screen with the touch of a finger.

This software also supports various hardware platforms. Unlike previous Windows versions that support only the x86 processor architecture, Windows 8 also supports the ARM chip that is widely used in tablet devices generally. Form of devices will be much more sleek and thin and will have a longer battery life.

Sinofsky ensure that all the software that runs on Windows 7 will also be used on Windows 8. Slightly different is the approach in terms of users to access multiple types of applications. If the previous operating system to force users always open the application one by one, on Windows 8 antaraplikasi collaboration began to be applied. For example through a feature that allows users to access information email, Twitter, and social networking in one view.

Currently, Windows 8 are newly introduced to the developers because the new version of the developer preview. There is no certainty when this software will begin to be distributed to the market. Still have to go through the beta, release candidate, and release to manufacturing, before being distributed. "We make sure the quality is and is not dependent on deadlines," says Sinofsky.
