NASA and Microsoft Provide Mars 3-D Close Encounter
Skyb-Umpunk- NASA and Microsoft Research are bringing Mars to life with new features in the WorldWide Telescope software that provide viewers with a high-resolution 3-D map of the Red Planet.
Microsoft's online virtual telescope explores the universe using images NASA spacecraft return from other worlds. Teams at NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif., and Microsoft in Redmond, Wash., jointly developed the software necessary to make NASA's planetary data available in WorldWide Telescope.
"By providing the Mars dataset to the public on the WorldWide Telescope platform, we are enabling a whole new audience to experience the thrill of space," said Chris C. Kemp, chief technology officer for information technology at NASA Headquarters in Washington.
The fully-interactive images and new NASA data will allow viewers to virtually explore Mars and make their own scientific discoveries. New features include the highest-resolution fully interactive map of Mars ever created, realistic 3-D renderings of the surface of the planet, and video tours with two NASA scientists, James Garvin of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., and Carol Stoker of Ames.
Garvin's tour walks viewers through the geological history of Mars and discusses three possible landing sites for human missions there. Each landing site highlights a different geological era of the planet.
Stoker's tour addresses the question: "Is there life on Mars?" and describes the findings of NASA's Mars Phoenix Lander.
"Our hope is that this inspires the next generation of explorers to continue the scientific discovery process," said Ames Center Director S. Pete Worden.
The Intelligent Robotics Group at Ames Research Center developed open source software that runs on the NASA Nebula cloud computing platform to create and host the high-resolution maps. The maps contain 74,000 images from Mars Global Surveyor's Mars Orbiter Camera and more than 13,000 high-resolution images of Mars taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera. Each individual HiRISE image contains more than a billion pixels. The complete maps were rendered into image mosaics containing more than half a billion smaller images.
"These incredibly detailed maps will enable the public to better experience and explore Mars," said Michael Broxton, a research scientist in the Intelligent Robotics Group at Ames. "The collaborative relationship between NASA and Microsoft Research was instrumental for creating the software that brings these new Mars images into people's hands, classrooms and living rooms."
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter reached the planet in 2006 to begin a two-year primary science mission. The mission has returned more data about Mars than all other spacecraft sent to the Red Planet. Mars Global Surveyor began orbiting Mars in 1997. The spacecraft operated longer than any other Mars spacecraft, ceasing operations in November 2006.
"Microsoft has a long-standing relationship with NASA that has enabled us to jointly provide the public with the ability to discover space in a new way," said Tony Hey, corporate vice president of the External Research Division of Microsoft Research.
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., manages the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. Lockheed Martin Space Systems in Denver built the spacecraft. HiRISE is operated by the University of Arizona, Tucson, and was built by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. in Boulder, Colo. Malin Space Science Systems in San Diego provided and operated the Mars Orbiter Camera.

Artificial Noise Saves Energy For Computer Network Providers
Artificial noise saves energy.
Skyter-Kee Ell- Ecological and economic factors are prompting telecommunications companies to deploy energy-saving systems. The broadband DSL access network consumes about 20 billion kilowatt-hours of energy per year worldwide – equivalent to four percent of Germany’s annual energy consumption.
The use of a low-power mode (L2 mode) in standard ADSL2/ADSL2+ systems could significantly reduce the amount of electricity consumed by the DSL network. At present, broadband access always runs on full power, but the L2 mode could reduce the transmission output of the system and therefore its power usage during quiescent communication.
Although the mode has already been standardized and is present in many devices on the customer and network side, it is not being used. The problem is that L2 mode causes considerable interference to neighboring DSL systems.
When a modem connects to the Internet while neighboring modems are still in L2 mode, only a small degree of interference occurs and the data transmission rate is high. If, however, systems in neighboring houses or apartments become active, the interference to the first system is so great that the connection crashes and the modem can only go online again after a prolonged restart phase. What’s more, the data speed is significantly lower. For this reason, the operators of broadband networks deactivated the low-power mode and did not include it in the standardization for future broadband connections with faster data transmission rates (VDSL).
Scientsists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Communication Systems ESK have now succeeded in using artificial or virtual noise to stabilize DSL connections so that L2 mode can be deployed. The artificial noise simulates typical cable bundle interference to the broadband receivers. When a modem tries to connect to the Internet, the system registers normal interference even if the device next door is in low-power mode. Although the connection does not take place at the highest-possible transmission rate but at a slightly reduced speed, it remains stable when a neighbor goes online. Both the L2 mode and artificial noise can be used now.
Network operators could reduce their electricity consumption by several million kilowatt-hours per year, which in Germany alone would mean an annual saving of 15 million euros on operating costs. At first, however, only the network operators would save money, not the users.

Future of Broadband: Where Data Is Broadcast Using Desk Lamps
Skyters-Kewwel- In the future, getting a broadband connection might be as simple as flipping on a light switch. In fact, according to a group of researchers from Germany, the light coming from the lamps in your home could one day encode a wireless broadband signal.
"The advantage is that you'd be using light that is already there," says Jelena Vučić of the Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications, Heinrich-Hertz-Institute in Germany. Vučić and her colleagues have found a way to get the most from this synergy of illumination and information and will be presenting their findings during the Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exposition/National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference (OFC/NFOEC), which will take place March 21-25 in San Diego.
As of now, the majority of wireless in homes and businesses is achieved through a radio-frequency WiFi connection. But WiFi has limited bandwidth, and it's unclear where to find more in the already-crowded radio spectrum. By contrast, visible-frequency wireless has all the bandwidth one could want. The signal would be generated in a room by slightly flickering all the lights in unison. No one would be bothered by this because the rate of modulation would be millions of times faster than a human eye can see. Since visible light can't go through walls like radio, there would be no unwanted interference from stray signals and less worry of outside hackers.
Incandescent and fluorescent bulbs can't flicker fast enough, so all the lights would have to be LEDs. Although commercial LEDs have a limited bandwidth of only a few MHz, Vučić and her colleagues were able to increase this bandwidth ten-fold by filtering out all but the blue part of the LED spectrum. With the visible wireless system built in their lab, they downloaded data at a rate of 100 Mbit/s. They have now upgraded the system's receivers and are getting 230 Mbit/s, which is a record for visible wireless using commercial LEDs. Although state-of-the-art radio wireless can achieve comparable speeds, Vučić says they should be able to double their data rate again by employing a more sophisticated modulation signal.

Imperfect Chips Pave the Way for New Quantum Technology
Electron microscope image of a photonic crystal membrane made by etching holes in a gallium arsenide (GaAs) substrate. By omitting a row of holes, a waveguide is created, along which the light will propagate. Nanoscopic light sources (so-called quantum dots) are placed in the middle of the membrane, indicated by the yellow triangles on the image.

Skysters-Keyyyel - When it comes to optical chips, disorder can actually be desirable. The surprising finding was made by a research group at DTU Fotonik, overturning the common notion that optical chips must be perfect.
his discovery is published in journal Science.
Messy accounts, noise on the line or production errors: Disorder is, in many respects, considered an evil. This also applies within photonics, and researchers worldwide have put considerable effort into perfecting optical chips which, among other applications, can be used in quantum technology.
An optical chip can be used to manipulate information in the form of light, and the functionalities are integrated in a few thousandths of a millimetre. Up until now, a major problem has, however, been the fact that nanometre-scale imperfections are inevitable during optical chip production. So far, it has been the general conviction that this reduces or simply destroys functionality, and that this has hampered the possibility of upscaling optical chips to larger and more complex circuits.
Disorder as a valuable resource
A group of physicists from DTU Fotonik has now turned this notion upside down and demonstrated that imperfection in the form of disordered structures on optical chips may actually be an advantage: The disordered structures on an optical chip may be used to capture, for example, light waves.
The research group has demonstrated that when the light is captured on the imperfect optical chip, the interaction of light with matter (an atom) is increased approximately 15 times. The discovery allows the production of a new type of optical chips where disorder is utilised as a valuable resource instead of being considered a limitation. It may potentially be used to develop efficient miniature lasers, solar cells and sensors and to pave the way for a completely new quantum information technology, including quantum computers.
Optical chips with ordered structures
On optical chips based on photonic crystals, a structure of holes is normally etched, and so far the aim has been to achieve a regular and ordered structure. Even though modern nanotechnological techniques make it possible to fabricate very precise structures, a certain element of disorder is inevitable in any real system. There will thus be roughness and variations in the positioning of the holes of which a photonic crystal is made up. By changing the distance between the holes in the photonic crystal and omitting a row of holes, a waveguide is created, which can guide light in desired directions, thus providing new possibilities for taming light. A properly designed photonic crystal thus makes it possible to stop or capture light -- and even control the emission of light.
Optical chips with disordered structures
The researchers at DTU Fotonik have fabricated an optical chip where disorder has deliberately been introduced in the structure. Without disorder, the light will propagate along the waveguide, whereas the presence of disorder alters this picture completely. The light will thus be captured in the waveguide as it is scattered on the imperfections and subsequently interferes with other parts of the light wave. This way of localising light has proved surprisingly efficient, and in the experiment carried out at DTU Fotonik, the researchers succeeded in localising the light in the waveguide within a region smaller than 25 microns (one micron = one thousandth of a millimetre). In their experiment, the researchers used nanoscopic light sources inside the photonic crystal (the so-called quantum dots). A quantum dot can be seen as an artificial atom emitting exactly one photon at a time. The researchers have thus succeeded in making a 'box for photons', i.e. capturing and retaining the elementary constituent of the light: the photon.
Unbreakable messages and quantum computers
The ability to localise light is crucial for many applications, as light in many contexts is intractable: It propagates at a speed of almost 300,000 km/s, making it very useful for transmitting information for use in optical communication. Unfortunately, it also means that the interaction with matter is generally inefficient, which is a problem for a number of applications, e.g. in solar cells and optical sensors or within quantum information technology. The dawning quantum information technology promises fundamentally new ways of coding and processing information, using the laws of quantum mechanics. This can, among other things, be used to exchange 100% unbreakable messages or, ultimately, for a quantum computer which can perform a number of calculation tasks far more efficiently than even the supercomputers of today.
Research based on Nobel Prize winner's theory
The use of very disordered structures to capture light waves was predicted in theory by the US researcher Philip W. Anderson, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics back in 1977.
In the 1950s, Philip W. Anderson predicted that the transport of electrons may be suppressed in a highly disordered lattice. This phenomenon is called Anderson localisation. This is due to the fact that electrons in the world of quantum mechanics have wave properties, and that these waves can interfere, like other types of waves can be mixed, which is a well-known phenomenon by everyone who has been swimming in the breakers. Anderson's discovery has proved to be a universal phenomenon which not only applies to electrons, but to all other types of waves. Disorder can thus also be used to localise light waves -- i.e., capture light in a very small area.
In quantum information technology, it is crucial to have a very strong light-matter coupling at the most elementary level -- i.e., so that one photon interacts efficiently with one atom. Such an increased coupling is exactly what the researchers at DTU Fotonik have demonstrated, where a photon in an Anderson-localised cavity interacts with a quantum dot. The increased coupling results in the quantum dot emitting a photon more rapidly when its wave length matches that of the cavity (i.e. is in resonance). This is exactly what the researchers have observed, as shown in Figure 3, which shows that the quantum dot emits photons up to 15 times more rapidly under resonant conditions than under non-resonant conditions.
The research group behind the discovery
The research has been conducted at the Department of Photonics Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark by a research group consisting of postdocs Luca Sapienza, Søren Stobbe and David Garcia, PhD students Henri Thyrrestrup and Stephan Smolka as well as Associate Professor and group leader Peter Lodahl.

Intel to introduce faster Atom chip Monday
Skyters-Zurich- Would on be 1st March bro, Intel plans to release a faster version of its "Pine Trail" Atom processor for Netbooks on Monday, bringing a little extra performance to this popular segment of the laptop market.
Major PC makers are expected to announce new products or product refreshes with the new processor, the N470, which will be identical to the current 1.66GHz N450 but get bumped to a speed of 1.83GHz, according to a source familiar with the announcement.
Every little speed increase helps, as Atom processors, compared to their mainstream chip cousins, have always been performance-constrained. Intel uses a different chip architecture for its Atom processors that delivers better power consumption efficiency but lower performance, compared to mainstream Core 2 and Core i series mobile processors. And Atom processors used in Netbooks--smaller-than-usual laptops typically priced lower than RM 1370--are almost always single-core, compared to the faster dual-core processors used in mainstream laptops.

Oi! google shows off chrome OS tablet idea?
Skyters-Lombong- Todays tablet, in contrast, tend to focus more on a collection of specialized uses such as reading book, surf net and chores that only require light typing. With that approach, Chrome OS's break from the PC world could be less jarring. The tablet market isn't as big as the Netbook market, though.
Glen Murphy said "While its primary focus is Netbooks, Chrome OS could eventually scale to a wide variety of devices. Each would have vastly different input methods, available screen space, and processing power," according to the Chromium form factors site. Chromium is the name of the open-source developer project that underlies the branded Chrome product".
This we can call 'what tee fong choo hai'. This tablet look real simple book. What do you think about our malaysian children used that going to school, its mean just exchange with text book, but still have too bring exercise book.

Iran’s Secret Nuke Plant
The plant itself was built in an underground tunnel complex on the grounds of an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Base, right near the (Holy) city of Qom, which is located about 100 miles southwest of Tehran. The facility is not completed and is still under development.
This is a contingency plant. It is to show our determination that in any case we will not stop our nuclear programme."
World powers have expressed outrage at Tehran's building the plant.
The United States and its ally Israel have not ruled out a military option to halt Tehran's nuclear progrmame which they suspect is aimed at making atomic weapons. Tehran denies the charge.

Acer debuts Liquid Android smartphone, new netbook
Acer, the world's third largest PC vendor, on Wednesday announced two of its most highly anticipated products with Google's Android mobile operating system on board, the Liquid smartphone and an Aspire One netbook.
Acer Liquid is a touchscreen smartphone running Android version 1.6, formerly codenamed Donut and the latest upgrade to the software. Qualcomm's Snapdragon chipset inside the smartphone provides processing power and other capabilities.
The smartphone also includes a camera that tags photos with location information from the built-in GPS receiver, so people know where and when they snapped a shot. Songs and videos can be played on the handheld. Liquid is designed for Internet browsing, and allows high speed Web access through HSPA (High Speed Packet Access) mobile networks.
The smartphone will use a new user interface, Acer said in a statement. Few other specific details were immediately available about Liquid.
Acer also offered a further glimpse at its Aspire One with Android netbook.
The device will run both Android and Microsoft Windows, and users will be able to switch between the two simply by clicking to switch OS, Acer said.
Android will give people access to the Web on start up, with just an 18 second boot-up time. The OS shuts down in 3 seconds, Acer said.
Other details about the new netbook, including when the device might go on sale and how much it would cost, were not immediately available.

Greasemonkey replacement for Firefox add-ons
In terms of memory use, Firefox is one of the most efficient browsers around -- at start-up, anyway, without any extensions installed. As your browsing session rolls on, the add-ons and helper apps that make Firefox such a helpful browser start to eat up serious memory. Want a leaner, more elegant solution? Try using Greasemonkey user scripts to make the Web a better place.
If you don't have it installed already, grab Greasemonkey, a Firefox add-on that allows you to easily install and manage individual "user scripts." They're basically bits of custom JavaScript that make useful tweaks and changes to web pages without the overhead of installing extensions.
For example, if you run across a lot of links shortened with tinyurl.com, bit.ly, or other social services, the Long URL Expander automatically shows you the full URL and page title of those inscrutable links when your mouse pointer hovers over them. There's a full extension that does the same thing, with a few preference settings. But with a user script, you'll never have to worry about version upgrades, and can super-customize which sites it works on, how much it displays, and more by tweaking the script text.
Let's be a bit more productive, though. If you're a Google Apps user, you can give Gmail, Google Calendar, and Reader some nice facelifts with scripts obsessed with clean looks and the Helvetica font: Helvetical, Helvetireader, and Helvetimail. If you're a Google Docs user, your cautious hind-brain will reward you for grabbing Google Docs Download and backing up all your cloud-based files all at once to a place where a security issue won't lock you out of them forever.
Do you compulsively keep a Gmail tab open at all times? Stop clicking over to see if there's new mail. Grab Gmail Unread Message Count in Favicon and Gmail's red "mail" icon will get a tiny number next to it, displaying the number of unread messages. If you feel Gmail's sidebar labels could use a little more nested, Outlook-like organization, Folders4Gmail offers exactly what its name implies.
Troubled by typing inside too-short text forms? Textarea Resize gives you the ability to expand text areas vertically or horizontally by hitting Ctrl+Enter or Ctrl+Shift, respectively. Then again, maybe commenting on forums and social sites is more of a time-wasting problem. Grab NoAddict, modify it with the sites you know you're weak against, and insert a message like "Seriously? You want to waste time here?" If the sites you browse occasionally carry some rough language, and you'd rather it not show up on your screen, don't bother with filtering software. Grab the Profanity Filter and watch all those worked-up YouTube comments turn into endless asterisks.

If you're a Google Docs user, your cautious hind-brain will reward you for grabbing Google Docs Download and backing up all your cloud-based files all at once to a place where a security issue won't lock you out of them forever.
Do you compulsively keep a Gmail tab open at all times? Stop clicking over to see if there's new mail. Grab Gmail Unread Message Count in Favicon and Gmail's red "mail" icon will get a tiny number next to it, displaying the number of unread messages. If you feel Gmail's sidebar labels could use a little more nested, Outlook-like organization, Folders4Gmail offers exactly what its name implies.
Troubled by typing inside too-short text forms? Textarea Resize gives you the ability to expand text areas vertically or horizontally by hitting Ctrl+Enter or Ctrl+Shift, respectively. Then again, maybe commenting on forums and social sites is more of a time-wasting problem. Grab NoAddict, modify it with the sites you know you're weak against, and insert a message like "Seriously? You want to waste time here?" If the sites you browse occasionally carry some rough language, and you'd rather it not show up on your screen, don't bother with filtering software. Grab the Profanity Filter and watch all those worked-up YouTube comments turn into endless asterisks.

MIT creates nanotube process that could shrink, speed chips
New manufacturing technique could replace copper wires and transistors with nanotubes to build smaller, faster computer chips
Researchers at MIT have found a way to grow the carbon nanotubes that manufacturers need to build smaller, faster computer chips.
As chipmakers like Intel and Advanced Micro Devices work endlessly to find ways to build smaller and smaller chips, they often run into a multitude of problems.
A key issue that must be resolved: dealing with the tiny copper wires that connect transistors in a processor. As the chips shrink in size, so do the wires, making it increasingly difficult for them to maintain the level of current needed to meet performance requirements.
That's where the nanotubes come into play.
"When we shrink chip features, the interconnections between the transistors get smaller -- just like everything else," said Jim McGregor, an analyst at In-Stat. "And when they shrink, the performance isn't the same. Using carbon nanotubes is an interesting idea."
The question engineers have faced to date, he added, is "how do you do it?"
Gilbert Nessim, a researcher at MIT, said that chip manufacturers have consistently run into trouble by trying to build the nanotubes on a metal surface, which is needed to ensure an electrical contact.
Efforts to build carbon nanotubes on metal can face significant problems due to the heat required in the manufacturing process. The excess heat, for example, could cause the metals to form alloys that are not conducive to nanotube growth.
The MIT scientists used a combination of techniques to create a new process for using nanotubes. The techniques included vaporizing the metals tantalum and iron, which settle in layers on a silicon wafer. Then they placed the coated wafer at one end of a quartz tube, which was inserted into a furnace. The researchers also pump ethylene gas into the tube. The gas decomposes at high temperatures and the iron on the wafer catalyzed the formation of carbon nanotubes.
Nessim noted that the technique is based on processes already commonly used in the semiconductor industry. which should make them eaasier -- and cheaper -- for manufacturers to adopt.
Intel, long looking to create the next generation of chips, is an underwriter of the MIT research. Nessim said the semiconductor industry has been interested in finding ways to replace copper wires with nanotubes, but has been slowed by the effort to find a reasonable way to deal with the metal issues.
"I hope this [research] may revise that enthusiasm to some point," he said. "At some point, they'll be stuck with copper that does not work and they'll have to find an alternative. We hope that our insights ... have eased a little bit of some fabrication issues and hope this will match the requirements that they have."
Intel, in a statement responding to questions from Computerworld , said they hope such research breakthroughs can help the company switch copper wires to nanotubes by some time after 2015.

Dark matter: Black gold for IT
Solutions like Splunk 4 and ArcSight FraudView shed light on buried log files, transforming them into strategic data resources
Compliance has turned us into pack rats. Even outside the heavily regulated health and financial industries, many of us now reflexively play it safe and save anything that seems important. But surprisingly, this "structured" information -- documents, e-mail, transaction records -- accounts for only about half of all enterprise data.
The other half is so-called dark matter. Generated by servers, routers, desktops, switches, and other systems, dark matter generally takes the form of log files that record errors, system access attempts, and countless other events. Dark matter in IT, like that mysterious stuff floating in deep space, is both widely distributed and hidden despite its enormous mass.
Typically, IT pays attention to dark matter only after something goes wrong. When there's a security breach, you go straight to the log files to see when and how the breach began and which systems may have been compromised. When a server goes down, log files usually reveal the cause of the failure. Otherwise, dark matter stays in the dark.
But what if you monitored those log files en masse as a matter of course? Could you drill into dark matter and detect security breaches in progress or sound the alarm based on a pattern of errors before a server falls over?
The answer to that question points to some of the most interesting enterprise technology around -- including SEM (security event management), cloud-based distributed computing, and advanced search technology expressly designed for dark matter.
To take a timely example, ArcSight -- one of the leading SEM vendors -- just announced FraudView, which mines security log data for statistically significant patterns of nefarious activity. According to Reed Henry, senior vice president of marketing for ArcSight, FraudView is already being used to detect wire fraud in wholesale banks and "pump and dump" stock schemes in retail brokerages.
On the raw technology side, there's Apache Hadoop, a Java programming framework designed for data-intensive parallel processing. Hadoop turns out to be perfect for pulling together log files distributed across an organization for analysis. Amazon now provides turnkey Hadoop services, so customers can shovel huge quantities of log data onto Amazon servers and crunch on it mercilessly, teasing out patterns that may yield profound insights on, say, application or datacenter architecture.

Google offers Android 1.6 SDK
The development kit features a new search framework, CDMA backing, and support for additional screen sizes
The Android 1.6 SDK, which adds backing for CDMA and additional screen sizes to the Android mobile device software platform, is available for developers to download, the Google Android blog said this week.
The downloadable kit is based on the "donut" branch of the Android Open Source Project. Support for CDMA and additional screen sizes enables applications to be deployed on more mobile networks and devices, the blog states.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Last week, Motorola unveiled its Android-based Cliq handheld. | Is it too late for Android to get its developers back on board? InfoWorld's Neil McAllister explores why Android developers are unhappy. | Dive deep into next-gen mobile with InfoWorld's 20-page PDF featuring hands-on reviews, analysis, and insights from our editors. ]
"You will have access to new technologies, including framework-level support for additional screen resolutions, like QVGA and WVGA, new telephony APIs to support CDMA, gesture APIs, a text-to-speech engine, and the ability to integrate with Quick Search Box," said Android SDK tech lead Xavier Ducrohet.
The 1.6 release of Android features a redesigned search framework for users to search across multiple sources such as browser bookmark, contacts, and the Web. Searches can be done via the home screen. The user interface offers an integrated camera and a faster camera experience. A VPN control panel lets users configure different types of VPNs. Also featured is a battery usage screen indicating which applications and services are consuming power.
Version 1.6 also offers the Pico multilingual speech synthesis engine. Developers also gain a framework for building and recognizing gestures and associating them with specific actions. The SDK features the GestureBuilder tool to generate libraries of gestures to include with applications.
Devices running Android 1.6 are anticipated as soon as next month, Ducrohet said. Applications written for older versions of Android will run on version 1.6.
The kit requires a new version of Android Development Tools and includes a tool to enable downloading of updates and components like add-ons or platforms.

Windows Vista less good, Microsoft exec admits
With Windows 7's launch looming , a company executive yesterday denigrated its predecessor, calling Vista a "less good product."
The comment won't surprise many analysts and users, who have condemned the 2007 operating system as bloated, slow and balky, but it's the furthest any high-level Microsoft executive has gone in criticizing Vista.
"What people underestimate is the importance of good or bad products," said Charles Songhurst, Microsoft's general manager of corporate strategy, at a investor's conference on Tuesday. "And sometimes your products are good, sometimes the products are bad. And I think Vista was a less good product for Microsoft."
Windows 7, on the other hand, is much better than good, Songhurst argued. "Windows 7 is an extremely good product from Microsoft. It's been brilliantly developed, and I think people probably underestimate the effects of the bad products and the good products."
In the past, Microsoft's top managers have limited their public criticism of Vista to oblique comparisons with the new Windows 7. Last October, for example, CEO Steve Ballmer called Windows 7 "Windows Vista, a lot better."
A month later, others, including Stephen Sinofsky, who heads Windows development, acknowledged mistakes had made with Vista, but swore that they would not be repeated with Windows 7.
Company executives' private opinions of Vista were much more revealing, however. According to internal Microsoft e-mails disclosed in 2008 during a class-action lawsuit, senior executives and a board member griped about Vista shortly after it was released in early 2007, saying it was missing drivers and crippled their new PCs.
For the most part, Windows 7's reception by analysts, users and reviewers has been positive, with Computerworld 's Preston Gralla representative of the consensus. "If you're a Vista user, you'll do well to upgrade to Windows 7; it's a superior operating system," Gralla said in his review of the final code .
At the Webcast conference, sponsored by the Jeffries investment and banking group, Songhurst also dismissed the idea that Apple and Google, with their Mac OS and Chrome OS , respectively, pose a threat to Microsoft's dominance in the operating system market.
"Apple has two very big structure advantages over us," Songhurst acknowledged. "The first is its vertical integration ... there's always the quality of experience you can do if you go vertical that you can never do as a horizontal player."
Apple, however, has maneuvered to make its operating system, and thus its computers, more attractive to CIOs. Late last month, Apple launched Mac OS X 10.6, aka Snow Leopard , which includes built-in support for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 .
As for Google's Chrome, Songhurst was just as optimistic that Microsoft would be able to fend off that rival. "Because [Chrome OS] doesn't exist yet, it's hard to say much about it," Songhurst started. "If it comes out and it's the world's most amazing operating system, and does things that no one has ever thought of, it's a real problem for Microsoft. [But] if it's a similar version to a Microsoft operating system, but at a lower price point, or funded by search, it's much less of a threat.
"The quality of Windows 7 is the best defense we have in this space," Songhurst said.
Some analysts have agreed . In an interview shortly after Google announced Chrome OS last July, Michael Cherry, an analyst with Directions on Microsoft, was confident that Google could face the same challenges as Microsoft in the long run. "We didn't get to where we are with Windows because Microsoft set out to build a slow, massive operating system. They kept adding functionality," Cherry said at the time.
"What Google will face is application developers who say, 'Here's what we'd like to do,' and Google will realize that their OS doesn't support that. And then they'll expose an API or add functionality. And lo and behold, it's a little bigger," he said.
Google has shared little about Chrome, saying only that it will launch in the second half of 2010 .
Not surprisingly, Microsoft's Songhurst was upbeat about Windows', and Microsoft's, future.
"What you hear at the moment is a lot of commentary about how [the OS business] is commoditized, how it's hard to get more innovation in it," he said during the Q&A portion of the conference. "And I think what you'll find is a renewed belief in innovation, and a renewed belief in the Windows franchise.
"When Windows is executing well, Microsoft is in good shape," said Songhurst. metatag data

BAGAIMANA GEROMBOLAN JUAL NEGARA!!!
TANAH DI SERAH KEPADA PEMAJU - melayau
SELAYANG 14 Sept. - "Kami disuruh memohon tanah ini tetapi ternyata itu sekadar kata-kata untuk menyedapkan hati penduduk kerana akhirnya tanah itu diberikan kepada sebuah syarikat."
Itulah luahan penduduk sekitar Jalan 1, Bandar Baru Selayang, di sini, terhadap keputusan Pejabat Tanah dan Daerah (PTD) Gombak yang meluluskan tanah di Lot 10875 untuk Majlis Perbandaran Selayang (MPS) dan sebuah syarikat.
Mereka membantah sekeras-kerasnya pemberian hak milik tanah itu atas alasan mereka terlebih dahulu memohon tanah tersebut iaitu sejak 12 tahun lalu.
"Harapan penduduk untuk mendapatkan tanah itu berkecai kerana 'dirampas' dengan mudah oleh syarikat itu sedangkan kami sudah lama memohonnya," kata penduduk di situ.
Seorang penduduk, Abdul Majid Md. Haniff, 47, berkata, selama 12 tahun dia berusaha dan memohon untuk mendapatkan hak milik tanah tersebut tetapi usahanya ternyata sia-sia.
Menurutnya, dia juga berasa teraniaya dengan keputusan yang diambil oleh PTD Gombak itu kerana sebelum ini, dia juga pernah mengalami masalah yang sama sebelum ini.
"Dulu, masa saya tinggal di Kampung Selayang Tin begini juga jadinya. Tanah yang dahulunya hak milik nenek moyang kami dirampas dan rumah kami diroboh begitu sahaja oleh MPS tanpa memberikan sebarang pampasan ketika itu.
"Tetapi pada masa itu, tahap kesabaran kami masih boleh dikawal. Tidak sampai lima bulan kemudian, rumah kedai yang dimiliki oleh mak saya pula dirobohkan oleh MPS tanpa sebarang notis pemberitahuan sedangkan kami ada dokumen yang sah mengenai bangunan tersebut," katanya.

Microsoft to deliver five critical Windows patches next week
Microsoft today said it will deliver five security updates on Tuesday, all affecting Windows and all ranked "critical," the company's highest threat rating.
Unlike some months when Microsoft provides its usual advance notification for upcoming updates, this time there weren't any hints of what may be coming, said Andrew Storms, director of security operations at nCircle Network Security.
"It's a foggy advance warning," said Storms. "I'm a little bit at a loss for words. There doesn't seem to be anything here that has been disclosed publicly."
That didn't stop Storms from speculating, though. "We could see another ATL update," he said, referring to the flaws in Active Template Library (ATL), a Microsoft code "library" that it and third-party developers use to create software.
"It wouldn't be surprising if Microsoft still had some ATL bugs to fix," said Storms, "although I think it's also likely that we'll see more third-party patches than ones from Microsoft."
All five of the security updates slated to ship next week are rated critical, and all five were tagged as affecting various versions of both the client and server editions of Windows. "I guess you could say that they're batting five for five on Windows," observed Storms. "It's also batting four for five for Vista and [Windows] Server 2008."
As Storms said, four of the five updates apply to Windows Vista -- all four of those are ranked critical -- while the same four will also impact Windows Server 2008, the newest production version of Microsoft's server software. Three of those Server 2008 updates were pegged critical, while the fourth was rated as "important," the next-lowest threat level.
Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 will also receive updates Tuesday.
"We usually don't expect to see Microsoft's new OSes to be critical," noted Storms. "It's also unusual that they're all for Windows. So this is out of the ordinary."
Microsoft won't be patching the just-revealed vulnerability in its popular Internet Information Services (IIS) Web server, according to Storms. "We couldn't expect Microsoft to patch it that fast," he said, reading the tea leaves of the advance notification to dismiss any thought that the bug in IIS 5.0, 5.1 and 6.0 will get a fix next week.

Good Laptop with Reasonable price
Samsung X460-44P
That money buys you solid performance in the form of a 2.26-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 CPU, 3GB of RAM, and a discrete GPU. Although the GPU is no powerhouse--it's a 256MB nVidia GeForce 9200M GS--it certainly gives you better graphics performance than many thin-and-light machines. In games, it could handle only 49 frames per second in Doom 3 (at 1024 by 768 resolution) and 70 fps in Far Cry. Numbers like those make me wish Samsung had followed the route of the new MacBooks, which sport the GeForce 9400M GS chips. At least that way you could play a game that came out in the past two years. The X460's processing power and battery life shine a bit more brightly; in our PC World Test Center WorldBench 6 tests, it hit a very respectable 93, while its battery ran for a nice, long 4.5-hour stretch.
These laptops make us buy for goods and gets high end system. Thats very tough thing to completed make suitable for higher perfomance.
