Will Windows 8 Leave OS X Trailing in its Dust?

2012-02-08T04:44:00.001-08:00

Say what you like about Windows 8 (and who isn’t) but it’s embracing new technologies like never before. This got me looking at Apple’s desktop operating system, OS X, and asking myself if Windows 8 might leave the Lion trailing far behind in its dust. First things first though, I’m not going to assume that Windows 8 will be a tablet operating system, as that would be unfair given that Windows in its various forms currently runs on about 1 billion desktops and probably about thirty or forty tablets worldwide. I’m also not anti-Apple, as OS X is a very polished and accomplished operating system that almost nobody has a bad word to say about. What I want to do is take each operating system on its merits and compare these two operating systems as they will stand, shoulder-to-shoulder this October when Windows 8 is expected to launch.

This means we will still be using OS X Lion on iMacs because Apple’s desktop OS release schedule usually means they release something new every eighteen months to two years, and with Lion coming out in the summer of 2011, that means the next big cat will lag from a few months to as much as a year behind Windows 8. So where will these two operating systems stand and why, do I think anyway, Windows 8 will be ahead of the pack?

Let’s start with touch, as Windows 8 is centred around it in a way no desktop operating system ever has been before. This is significant because when you look at it objectively Windows is the only desktop operating system to ever feature touch. It’s never been in OS X or GNU/Linux and, although most people expect the next generation iMacs and Macbooks to be multi-touch enabled they might not appear for another year or more. Touch is important as any new way to interact with our computers opens up opportunities both for existing users and people who are new to technology. This can include the elderly, disabled or very young children, all of whom can have trouble with keyboards.

Touch brought with it handwriting recognition to Windows, which has now been with us in some form or another since around 2005 when Microsoft first introduced the concept of the tablet PC. The handwriting recognition in Windows is really quite mature now and far ahead of the competition. Apple, by contrast doesn’t even offer the feature on the iPad and it has to be added via a third-party app. Again this offers new ways to interact with our computers and opens them up to new people and new markets.

While we’re on the subject of interfaces there can be little doubt that Microsoft’s Kinect sensor will revolutionise the way we use PCs in the same way it has done for gaming. It may only be useful for broad swipes but imagine the fun people will have playing with it on a new laptop, or the benefits it can bring to the physically handicapped?

It’s not just in interfaces that Microsoft is leagues ahead of Apple. Data encryption is another area where they still rule the roost. No matter how secure people might tell you their Macbook is, it’s still vulnerable to being dismantled and having the hard drive removed. Microsoft’s Bitlocker drive encryption technology has now been with us since 2005 and is widely considered as the business data encryption tool. This is at a time when data protection and data encryption are more important than ever before.

Add to this new technologies such as hard disk storage pooling, new advanced file management features and the Windows To Go feature, which will allow you to load your entire copy of Windows 8, including all it’s installed software onto a bootable USB pen drive and Windows 8 is clearly well in the lead.

If you want to come back now and say that the average desktop user doesn’t need any of these features then I would say this to you. Each one of the very few technologies I’ve listed here is either currently making a big difference in the world today, or is set to do so very shortly (such as Windows To Go). There is nothing here that can be considered frivolous or useless in any way. In short I could suggest, if I dare, that Apple have spent so long concentrating on the smartphone and tablet space that they’ve simply taken their eye off the desktop and when they had chances to import some of these technologies into OS X, remember that OS X and iOS run on the same core kernel, they missed the opportunity.

There are also, and this is important to say, areas where OS X is ahead of Windows. While some of these areas have been historically significant, such as user security, OS X doesn’t currently lead in any meaningful way, and with the technologies that are making a big impact in the world today.

The reason I say this is because, while the focus of Windows 8 might be on it’s funky new Metro front end, many people will be comparing Windows and OS X and wondering why the precocious Metro upstart is so far ahead. Apple clearly has some catching up to to, and they’d better hurry because I do actually want to buy an iMac, but until they begin to support touch they can forget it.

how Make Firefox Faster

2012-02-04T00:38:00.000-08:00

Here’s something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up:

1.Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”

Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”

Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0″. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

If you’re using a broadband connection you’ll load pages MUCH faster now!

New Planet Found: Could a Super-Earth plus Triple Stars Equal Life

New Planet Found: Could a Super-Earth plus Triple Stars Equal Life

The search for exoplanets, or worlds orbiting other stars, is evolving so fast that discoveries that seemed exotic just a few months ago have become commonplace. Multiple-planet solar systems? Astronomers expected to find just a handful; now we know of more than 200. Planets orbiting double or even triple stars? It was big news when just one was announced back in September; we've already got several more examples in hand. In short, the unexpected is something planet hunters have learned to expect — and in most cases, these surprises have tended to expand the possibilities for finding worlds where life might thrive.

It's just happened again: astronomers from the Carnegie Institution of Washington and the University of California, Santa Cruz, writing in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, have announced the discovery of yet another new world that defies everyone's expectations. Not only does the new planet orbit one of the suns in a triple-star system — rare enough in itself — but the stars in this system have surprisingly low levels of the heavy elements planets are made from. Theory suggests that such stars shouldn't form planets in the first place, so if this isn't a fluke, there may be many more planets in the Milky Way than anyone thought.

iPad 3

2012-01-31T08:46:00.000-08:00

Apple can’t always hit it out of the park. Last year’s iPad 2 was a bit disappointing for those expecting a bigger upgrade of the popular computer tablet.

Instead, all they got was a faster processor and a slightly thinner form factor. In fact, the biggest advancement in the new version that wowed the most people wasn’t even in the iPad itself — it was the ingenious magnetic Smart Cover that clipped on the front of the screen.

But it’s been nearly a year, and the rumor mill for the new iPad 3 has already started to grind — to the delight of Apple fans everywhere. Many believe Apple will make an announcement next month for a release sometime in March or early April.

And if the stars are aligned just right, this could be a much more satisfying upgrade than what was revealed last year. Here’s a look at what’s rumored to come with the iPad 3 and the chances each will come true.

Retina display (75%) » One of the biggest disappointments with last year’s release was that it didn’t include a higher-resolution display, especially since the iPhone had jumped to its retina display just before. Alas, the cost of a bigger LCD screen packed with more pixels was still too high.

But an iPad screen with double the resolution (from 1024-by-768 pixels in the iPad 2 to 2056-by-1536) is much more of a reality thanks to the falling cost of LCD panels and a faster processor. With pixel density that high, the screen would look more like the printed page, and apps would display with spectacular detail.

The only downside is developers would have to retool their existing apps to take full advantage of that higher resolution.

Faster processor (70%) » No doubt the processor in the new iPad will be faster than ever before. The real question is whether it goes from two processing cores to four. A quad-core processor is likely because that extra horsepower is going to be necessary if apps are going to run as smoothly in that higher resolution.

Slightly thicker (70%) » In order for the iPad 3 to display a higher resolution and with a faster processor, it’s going to require more battery power. While Apple has been smart in how it efficiently packs batteries into its devices, these changes are still going to require a bigger battery, which in turn will make the new iPad slightly thicker.

Rumors are the change will be so slight that customers will hardly notice, considering how thin the iPad 2 already is. But it will be necessary if the tablet is going to retain that 10-hour charge. Just don’t expect that number to go up.

4G connectivity (50%) » Now that faster 4G data networks are up and running in much of the country (AT&T is the only major carrier in Utah that doesn’t have its 4G network turned on yet), there are suggestions that the new iPad could come with a 4G model.

But that’s going to be a tough sell for Apple, which has resisted 4G for the iPhone while most other Android phones have already adopted it. Apple has always believed that 4G uses too much battery power, but if the company has discovered a new 4G chipset that consumes less power, that attitude could change.
