Windows 8 Review

Just got an opportunity to download Windows 8 OS on my desktop and got really really impressed by all it's features and processing speed. It's Apps feature is fantastic....

Microsoft this time has done it this time. It has come up with a product that will be liked by professional users as well as tech savvy youth. I has incorporated its Mango OS block features into its OS. Every program is converted into Apps.

The processing speed has increased and also user has the option to choose among block theme and normal windows option !! If a person has touch screen, he will have the same experience as a tablet

For the people who like gaming, it's an amazing processing speed. 

New firmware (4.1.B.0.587) available for Xperia Arc, Xperia Arc S, Xperia Ray and Live with Walkman

A new update (4.1.B.0.587) is now available for Sony Xperia arc (LT15i), Xperia arc S, Xperia ray and Live with Walkman are among the first 2011 Xperia smartphones that received ICS 4.0.4 on their handsets.

Even though there are no visual changes in the OS. There are just bug fixes and LED notification improvement.

There is no great improvement in performance of the phone, rather at times it's speed of processing has reduced. This might be because ICS requires more power of processor.

The procedure is simple: Plug-in the data cable and rest Sony companion will take care. Mobile data / Apps remain intact after updating the phone.

Why ipad 2 / 3 doesn't charge when connected to Laptop or Computer ?

A phone charges just fine when plugged into a computer's/Laptop’s USB port. The same goes for an iPod, a pocket camcorder, and any of countless other devices. But there is a problem with iPad !!

Actually, the difficulty isn't with the iPad, but with the USB port: It's not supplying enough power. The ports built into most desktops, laptops, and even powered USB hubs don't generate the 10 watts necessary to charge an iPad's battery, which is why the ‘Not Charging' message appears over the battery indicator. This means you can't use, say, your laptop to recharge your iPad on the road.

That said, lower-powered USB ports will recharge an iPad--just very, very slowly. When the tablet's screen is off, the battery does indeed draw a trickle of power. Turn the iPad back on, however, and you'll see ‘Not Charging' again.

You should be aware that many PCs pump varying wattages through different USB ports. Frequently the USB ports at the front of the PC are of lower power than the ones in the back. Before giving up, try moving to another port.

There is another option there are different AC USB chargers that are available at Apple stores, that one can buy in order to charge the ipad.
