Is Win Vista Better Then Win 8?
Thats must be impossible, because windows Vista was a miss from Microsoft in a level with Windows Me that came around 2000.
But the bitter fact for Microsoft is that the sale is not good, last week the went out with a pressrelease thats declare that they have sold 100 miljons…
But thats not a real number, they have ship out totaly 100 miljon machine with Windows 8 and there are still lots that are not activated, some people say that is as much as 50% thats still not activate.
Microsoft resuse to give exsact number of how many activation they have. But Net Applications thats control the use of OSon the web, say they have 1,4 billions Windows user on the net, and only 4,2 use Win 8. Thats give a totaly of 58,6 millions, that should compare with Windows Vista that have 72,5 millions user. Thats shouldcompare with the 682 million user for Windows 7.
One intresting thing is that a Windows XP thats older then 12 years its still have 584 million users.
Smartphone From Google
For some time ago Google bought Motorola…
this was met with divided opinions. Especially from Sony, LG and Samsung that all are using Google OS (Android), which meant that when Google start producing their own mobile phones, so will their new versions of Android primarily get focus on their own phones.
This has been rejected by Google…
There has long been rumored that Google will soon come out with a phone, now it has come out pictures of the phone, but Google has not commented on it.
That Google bought Motorola to put down the phone manufacture has been clear since the purchase of Motorola went through. So now it remains to be seen whether Google will begin to update the Android OS to suit their own phones first.
Rumor says that Google will unveil the mobile on the I / O conference that will take place next week (15 May)
New Function On Facebook
Facebook rape…
Are you one of the people thats have been Facebook Rape sometime?
Well then there is a solution that Facebook now have added. For all of you who take online security very seriously, you probably do not need to read this post.
Functionen called “Trusted Contacts” (only available in English )
You select three to five trusted contacts, and then if someone would hack your account and change the password a code will be sent to your trusted contact you have selected, and with this code you can once again take control of your account.
Another way is to add your mobilnumber, and the code will be sent to your phone instead.
But as always I recommend… Have a secure password and change it regulary, this is not a 100% but closer then 100% will you never come
Good Work Microsoft
Everybody deserve a STAR sometime, and today its goes to Microsoft.
Microsoft have now move over all data from Hotmail to theur new eMail service, Outlook. I open up a Outlook-account for some weeks ago, and I must say, it looks really nice, clean and more like gMail than Hotmail.
But the STAR they get for the moving, it took Microsoft 6 weeks to move over everything.
Totaly 150 petabyte have been moved…
1 Petabyte is the same as 1000 TeraByte, so we talking about 150.000 Standard HD. Microsoft have make another comparison…
- 50 mail/day in 120 miljon year is the same as 150 petabyte
- 150 petabyte, Stored on DVD and stack them vertically, it would result in a DVD mountain that is six times higher than Mount Everest
So to move over all this in 6 weeks whitout any problem for the user must be worth a STAR
Facebook + Android = ??
Facebook has sent out a press invitation for tomorrow at 17:00 (GMT). According to sources, the company will release a modified version of Android.
In the slightly cryptic press invitations from Facebook it was written “Come and see our new home on Android.”
The message has triggered speculation about what it is about. Many believe that this was an updated app for Android, but according to reports that have leaked, so it is greater than.
This has led to that once again, the previous rumors about the company plans to release their own phone have come up to the surface again..

Pirate Bay + North Korea = What
Last news in the long war against Pirate Bay and the Hollywood- industry.
Sems to have come to one end, because if the are or will move to North Korea there is no chance they will close than the server because police and goverment in the west-world want so.
Regarding to the people on Pirate Bay, have the get invited by North Korea, but there is very different opinions about that, anyway so it is quite intresting thing… Pirate Bay say that they stand for a free internet, and then they move the server to the most closed country in the world.
Nobody can say that North Korea have any moral, but how shall we judge Pirate Bay in this question. I agree that things should be free on the net as long as possible, I DO NOT agree that is right to download copyright material and dont pay for it.
But is it right to have any kind of bussiness with a country like North Korea… Well, my opinion is a simple NO
