Windows 7 is looking to be the best OS from Microsoft yet

17 08 2009

Windows 7 is looking as if it may be the competetor of Apple’s OSX Snow Leopard. Microsoft is giving this OS(operating system) a big revamped interface from XP and Vista. The new changes include typography to the icons, and the toolbar to the windows, it’s a clean modern look that could compete with Snow Leopard. Three new features will come along with Windows 7. Aero Peek, Aero Snap, and Aero Shake. With Aero Peek you can drag a window to the right side of the screen. I don’t know what that accomplishes but ok. Aero Snap will automatically adjust the window into a rectangle that takes up the entire right side. Once again, I don’t know what that accomplishes. And with Aero Shake you can click and hold onto a window and shake it and any visible windows behind it will disappear( minimize, not close). Well I guess if you like pointless new features on Windows, I guess this program is for you. Thanks Microsoft, for still not measuring up to your rival, the awesome, Apple.





Apple’s new data center

17 08 2009

Apple is creating a new data center. A 500,000 spuare foot data center in North Carolina. So what exactly is it going to do you ask? Cloud computing. Curious what cloud computing is? Here’s a definition. “Cloud computing is a style of computing in which dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources are provided as a service over the Internet.” So what does this have to do with Apple’s normal products? Well nothing, but this is cool though.
