Microsoft started offering other Internet Browsers than their own Internet Explorer in the current update for Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 in Europe. This is quite amazing, that even after making MSIE 8.0, Microsoft is losing their market in the Internet Browsers industry. Mozilla Firefox and then Google Chrome took over the browser market and I can see the downfall graphs of Internet Explorer.

Microsoft’s project manager on 31st Jan. 2010 posted a blog post on MSDN and then removed it. In that post he mentioned about the success of Windows 7 and wrote about how Microsoft was successful in meeting the requirements and wants of their consumers through Windows 7. In my opinion Windows 7 was really a success and people actually loved the efficiency of Windows beside the awesome appearance.
A year and half ago, pickmore posted an article about the Sony Vaio conceptual transparent laptop screen. After a year, Samsung became the world’s first company to introduce the transparent screen. Samsung demonstrated the transparent screen on CES 2010 in January, which amazed many people and announced the launch of the product within next 12 months.

Apple launched their new product Apple iPad on 27th January 2010 which became a hilarious thing in the world instead of being a serious thing. May be Apple wanted it that way to gain attraction from another angle. Everyone is calling it iTampon instead of iPad because it sounds more like a feminine thing. I wonder how Apple can make such a silly mistake by giving it the name ‘iPad’. It’s been almost a week now since the launch and I searched every where and read everything about the product. My final conclusion was, Apple iPad is a useless thing.

Just after few days of the launch of Apple iPad which is Apple’s tablet PC, Google Chromium – the developer team of Google Chrome OS launched a conceptual video of their Tablet PC. Things seems to be quite rising up in the market. But frankly I don’t see any point of buying Apple iPad, then why would I wait for Google Tablet PC? Its not a PC, its not a Mobile Phone, Its not a Laptop. Its something in between and does not fulfill any of my needs. So, here is the video of the conceptual Google Tablet which appears to be very much the same as Apple iPad.
There are currently four giants in the IT Industry which are competing with each other in one or an other way. One starts to work on something and the other markets something else but much more attractive for the consumers. Sometimes I see all of them going on different directions to attract as many users as they can. For instance, Apple started to attract consumers with their Music gadget iPod and then came into the competition with a bigger and better version of the operating system to compete Microsoft, and Microsoft already holding the biggest market of operating system with Windows now jumps in with Microsoft Zune for music lovers.
World of Warcraft also known as WoW is the most widely played online multi-player network game. According to my little knowledge there are over 4 million players registered on the Blizzard network who play WoW. The game is developed by Blizzard Entertainment and is only available for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS operating system. The users of Linux are quite dejected with that. But now I can give you a solution to run WoW on Ubuntu Linux.
HTC today announced the new prices of their smartphones and have reduced the prices to a great number. The prices of HTC handsets are reduced by US$150 to $280. It might be because of the launch of Google Nexus One that is costing US$529 (unlocked).

Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple launched the new product – A tablet PC called Apple iPad (which obviously is a funny name) on 27th January 2010. With a 1GHz processor and 9.7″ multi-touch screen users can enjoy the fantasy of iPhone and iPod on a bigger screen now. In addition to all the existing features and apps which work on iPod and iPhone, iPad has its own SDK too, which allow the developers to make their own new apps for iPad. Apple iPad has the former iTunes and iStore plus the new iBook app which allow the users to purchase books online and read them on their iPad. Here is the video of the keynote of Apple iPad:

Apple had always made all the rumors in the market go wrong as per traditions. Everyone was hoping the name of the new Apple Tablet PC to be called as ‘iTablet’ but yesterday at the launch of that tablet pc millions around the world were simply surprised by the name they gave it, an Apple ‘iPad’. Yes, it sounds funny and strange. I was thinking may be Steve’s Windows Shut Downed and he couldnt think of a better name
