Windows 8 touch PC demand strong
Windows 8 touch PC demand strong
Touch-screen WIndows 8 PCs are in demand. In fact, PC makers can't get enough supply of some models.
Demand for Windows 8 touch-screen PCs is strong, according to two analysts who spoke with CNET.
"Touch machines are actually selling above expectations," said Bob O'Donnell, a program vice president at IDC.
And that means supply shortages. "Some vendors are actually facing shortages because touch panels are in limited supply. Vendors are saying they can't get as many touch-based machines as they would like to meet the demand that they're seeing."
Rhoda Alexander, an analyst at IHS iSuppli, echoed O'Donnell's comments. "We've talked to a number of PC makers that are having trouble obtaining touch panels and some of the vendors I've talked to said they can't keep them on the shelf," she said.
And Microsoft has said as much. Tami Reller, chief marketing and financial officer for Windows,said last week that there are "not enough" touch devices on store shelves.
Touch PCs include standard clamshell laptops with touch screens, hybrid laptop-tablets, and stand-alone tablets. Generally, touch-screen PCs are more expensive than standard non-touch laptops
Microsoft's online store lists a number of tablets and hybrids (so-called convertibles) for sale, including the $499 Acer Iconia W510, $799 Asus VivoTab, and $849 HP Envy x2.
Touch-screen laptops include the $699 Asus VivoBook, $1,299 Acer Aspire S7, $899 Sony Vaio T13, and $1,349 HP Spectre XT TouchSmart.
IDC's O'Donnell added, however, that non-touch Windows 8 PCs are not doing so well. "The non-touch machines are selling below expectations," he said. "If high-end machines are selling better than expected. Great. But that doesn't make up for low-end volume machines."
Microsoft has won an important ruling in its patent battle with Motorola.
U.S. District Court Judge James Robart last week ruled that Motorola could not ban the sale of Microsoft products that the mobile maker alleges violate its H.264 patents. The ruling means that theXbox and Windows, along with other Microsoft products, won't be banned from sale in the U.S. The ruling also blocks Motorola from banning Microsoft product sales in Germany.
Computerworld previously reported on the ruling.
Microsoft and Motorola are embroiled in a legal spat around the world over the software giant's alleged use of Motorola industry-standard H.264 patents in its many products. Motorola has argued that Microsoft has used the technology illegally and should have its products banned until it licenses them. Microsoft, however, has said that it would be willing to pay a royalty, but wants Motorola to uphold fair, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory terms.
What's fair and reasonable, of course, is up for debate. Motorola says that Microsoft should pay $4 billion for the use of its technology, applying a 2.25 percent royalty based on product price. Microsoft has said that figure is too high.
Judge Robart's ruling, which was announced Friday, is not the final say on the matter. Both companies wrapped up oral arguments in their trial last month and the judge is not expected to render a final decision until the spring. At that time, he could decide the terms of licensing and what a reasonable royalty rate might be.
Motorola previously won an infringement case against Microsoft in Germany that could have allowed the Google-owned company to ban Microsoft products from sale. However, that possibility was held up until U.S. courts could decide on the matter. With Robart's latest ruling, the block on any injunction continues to be upheld.
CNET has contacted both Motorola and Microsoft for comment on the ruling. We will update this story when we have more information.
Earlier this year, Microsoft had completely revamped its email service under the name Outlook. According to The Hindu Business Line, the company's new email service now has 1 million Indian users.
“India is an interesting market for us because it’s one of the few markets where Hotmail was number one and that really switched over to Gmail. About three-four years ago, Google search, Gmail and Orkut were very strong, not to mention Android growing like mad. It was Google’s best market in many ways,” Microsoft General Manager (Windows) Brian Hall told Business Line. “Now we see an opportunity to win people back.”
Last month, the Redmond-based company had released some figures that showed that Gmail users would prefer to use Microsoft's revamped email service. Microsoft had also announced that Outlook.com now has 25 million active users, with many of the accounts being migrations from Gmail.

Last month, the Redmond-based company had released some figures that showed that Gmail users would prefer to use Microsoft's revamped email service. Microsoft had also announced that Outlook.com now has 25 million active users, with many of the accounts being migrations from Gmail.
Microsoft had taken the help of a research firm to recruit users who used Gmail as their primary email service to sign up and try Outlook.com. According to the company, 4 out of 5 of the Gmail users on the panel said that they would switch to Outlook.com.
Even if we take these numbers at face value, since verifying them is not possible, they seem impressive for a service launched only a few months ago. Outlook.com was formerly known as Hotmail. The service was stuck in a rut for a very long time and was in dire need of a change when Microsoft stepped in and gave the email service a facelift. The new look has urged users of other email services to at least give the new Outlook.com a shot.
Microsoft went on to announce a host of new features for Outlook.com due to be rolled out within a few weeks. Ranging from colour themes and customisation options to one-click archiving and conversation threads, Microsoft is confident that these features will make the transition from Gmail to Outlook.com easier.
Outlook.com was launched in July after killing off Hotmail in favour of a swankier service. Outlook was earlier remembered for being a drab old e-mail client bundled with Microsoft Office, but that perception changed as millions signed up for the service within hours of the launch.
There are several consistent touches between Windows 8, the new Microsoft Office and Outlook.com, and every familiar icon and label has been replaced with elements of Microsoft's increasingly ubiquitous Metro interface. Outlook.com has been designed to work well on tablets and touchscreens. One more interesting aspect of the service is that Microsoft is combining many of its past offerings, such as Hotmail and Windows Live Mail, into a single, simple online service. If you already have a Hotmail or Windows Live account, you can log in to Outlook.com with the same email address, keeping your inbox, folders and contacts intact.

Tips for using Windows 8
The new Windows 8 operating system is now available and it faces users with a lot of changes. There is, for example, no start menu and no task bar on the start screen, which has tiles instead.
Those who would like to switch between programmes must instead move the mouse into the lower left corner of the screen and move downwards. Then a list of recently opened programmes pops up. To use two programmes at the same time, users must drag an application from this list next to the one that’s already opened.
Other important functions are also hidden in the corners of the display for mouse users. If you move the pointer to the lower or upper right, the new Charm Bar opens. This allows users for example to look for files and share them with others on the internet. The Settings includes the control panel, which has the function to shut the computer down.
Microsoft has collected other tips in dealing with its new user interface and put them on its support website. Among the hints is how to close a programme — by clicking on it and dragging it from the top of the screen to the bottom.
But this step is not actually necessary according to the developers as the system does not slow down if many programmes are open. The usual classic programmes meanwhile run like normal on the desktop, complete with task bar and X button in the upper right corner to close it. You can reach the desktop by clicking on the corresponding tile or by using the key combination Windows and D.
Those who would like to get there directly when they start up, can use the free open source program Classic Shell
Classic Shell can be used so that no tile pops up when the computer is started. It can also reconstruct the old start menu — or at least a copy that looks similar. And users can decide which programmes, folders and files are included in the menu.

Why women find some guys handsome and others hideous
Scientists are finally succeeding where so many men have failed: in understanding why women find some guys handsome and others hideous
WHEN it comes to partners, men often find women's taste fickle and unfathomable. But ladies may not be entirely to blame. A growing body of research suggests that their preference for certain types of male physiognomy may be swayed by things beyond their conscious control—like prevalence of disease or crime—and in predictable ways.
Masculine features—a big jaw, say, or a prominent brow—tend to reflect physical and behavioural traits, such as strength and aggression. They are also closely linked to physiological ones, like virility and a sturdy immune system.
The obverse of these desirable characteristics looks less appealing. Aggression is fine when directed at external threats, less so when it spills over onto the hearth. Sexual prowess ensures plenty of progeny, but it often goes hand in hand with promiscuity and a tendency to shirk parental duties or leave the mother altogether.
So, whenever a woman has to choose a mate, she must decide whether to place a premium on the hunk's choicer genes or the wimp's love and care. Lisa DeBruine, of the University of Aberdeen, believes that today's women still face this dilemma and that their choices are affected by unconscious factors.
In a paper published earlier this year Dr DeBruine found that women in countries with poor health statistics preferred men with masculine features more than those who lived in healthier societies. Where disease is rife, this seemed to imply, giving birth to healthy offspring trumps having a man stick around long enough to help care for it. In more salubrious climes, therefore, wimps are in with a chance.
Now, though, researchers led by Robert Brooks, of the University of New South Wales, have taken another look at Dr DeBruine's data and arrived at a different conclusion. They present their findings in the Proceedings of the Royal Society.
Dr Brooks suggests that it is not health-related factors, but rather competition and violence among men that best explain a woman's penchant for manliness. The more rough-and-tumble the environment, the researcher's argument goes, the more women prefer masculine men, because they are better than the softer types at providing for mothers and their offspring.

Boy or girl
Mother can control outcome, study of birds finds Fathers found to have much less of a say; goal is to ensure offspring's survival
Mothers can adjust the sex of their unborn children in response to the environment where they live, according to new research.
The study, published in the latest Proceedings of the Royal Society B, finds that mothers exert far more control than fathers do over whether or not the couple has a son or daughter. The goal is to improve the child’s survival.
“It seems likely that when there are large and predictable costs associated with producing and/or rearing either sons or daughters in a given environment, females should bias offspring sex ratios to produce the sex that will perform best in the given environment,” co-author Sarah Pryke told Discovery News.
“Altering offspring sex ratios in response to the quality of the local environment is likely to be highly advantageous to any species, as it should allow mothers to best match the phenotype of their offspring to the prevailing condition, and thus maximize their own fitness,” added Pryke, a researcher in Australian National University’s Research School of Biology.
Prior studies on birds, reptiles and mammals — including humans — has long suggested that this was the case, but scientists were unclear on what factors triggered the son or daughter outcome. Some researchers, for example, speculated that the overall body condition and health of the mother affected the outcome of her child’s sex.
To help eliminate that possibility, Pryke and colleague Lee Rollins studied a bird, the blue-faced parrot finch, whose body condition appears largely insensitive to changes in nutritional quality.
The researchers randomly assigned 56 of the female birds either a high-quality or low-quality diet. The former contained 20 percent protein, with egg, wheat germ, a seed mixture and more, while the latter contained only 8 percent protein. After 12 weeks on the diet, the birds were weighed and underwent blood tests to measure various aspects of their health. Based on these tests, all of the females were in comparably good and equivalent shape both before and after the 3-month study period.
Mother birds fed the lower quality diet, however, later produced far more sons than daughters.
“In this case, it is adaptive for mothers to produce more sons when conditions are poor because sons are much less vulnerable to nutritional stress than daughters,” Pryke explained. “For example, sons reared on poor quality diets grew faster, were healthier, fledged earlier and were much more likely to survive than daughters. Indeed, more than 51.5 percent of daughters reared on low-quality diets died before reaching parental independence compared to only 7.3 percent of sons.”
It is unclear whether or not human moms would produce more sons or daughters when environmental conditions are poor. That will probably remain a mystery for quite a while, since, as Pryke said, “researchers can’t do experimental manipulations, like in the current study” on humans.
The sex of an individual is also at least partially determined by genes, giving dads some level of indirect control over the sex outcome of their progeny.
Yet another mystery concerns how mothers — throughout the animal kingdom — adjust the sex of their unborn offspring. Pryke said it’s possible that hormones are involved.
Earlier research suggests that circulating levels of a potent stress hormone, corticosterone, in the female before conception or egg lying is a dominant factor.
Tim Fawcett, a research fellow at the University of Bristol’s School of Biological Sciences, has studied how maternal control over the sex ratio of offspring impacts female selection of mates.
“When mothers choose the sex of their offspring, sexual selection collapses and male courtship displays disappear,” Fawcett said. “This is because females no longer find the displays attractive.”
Climate change, loss of habitat and other stressors might therefore not only change sex ratios among various species, but these factors might also later subdue male sexual displays and affect female choosiness of mates.

Power Star Pawan Kalyan's talk on the titles 'saradaa' and 'Hare Rama Hare Krishna'
Power Star Pawan Kalyan's new movie in the combo of ace director Trivikram is getting its muhurtham done on 23rd of this month. We have been hearing two titles for this movie for a long while and they are 'saradaa' and 'Hare Rama Hare Krishna'.However, no title for the movie has been confirmed by the makers yet. Even then, the makers are heard to have been thinking about confirming the title 'saradaa'. In this scenario, some of the Pawan Kalyan's fans themselves confirmed the movie's title as 'saradaa' and they designed the title logo as well. Above logo is seen in Pawan Kalyan's fans page and they are sharing it quite joyfully. All and all, they seem to have admired with the title as they feel it is promising to offer enough entertainment.
Dusky beauty Samantha will be pairing up with Pawan Kalyan in this film. Devi Sri Prasad will score the music of the film. The regular shoot of this movie will be started in the month of December. BVSN Prasad is producing this movie on the banner Sri Venkateswara Cine Chitra.

GRE
What is GRE?
The Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) General Test is a multiple-choice admission test for applicants to graduate schools. It is a common prerequisite for all Graduate School applicants. It is developed and conducted by Educational Testing Service (ETS)-a subsidiary of the Graduate Record Examination Board of the U.S.A. The test is a computer-adaptive test (CAT), and consists of three scored sections.
The scores of this standardized, computer adaptive format test help graduate schools to assess the advanced study potential of their prospective students. GRE test scores are used by admissions or fellowship panels to supplement undergraduate records and other qualifications for graduate study. GRE offers two kinds of Examinations to enable admissions panel to assess the applicants and their aptitude towards their chosen fields of study - GRE General Test and GRE Subject Test. Most applicants to Graduate Schools are generally asked to take the GRE General test.
Why GRE?
The GRE General Test measures the skills that you've acquired over the high school and college years. It is an aptitude test because it is meant to measure your potential to succeed in graduate school. While the GRE is only one of several criteria that graduate schools use to evaluate your application, it is one of the most important. This is particularly true if your college GPA is not as high as you'd like. Exceptional GRE scores can open up new opportunities for grad school. The GRE General Test contains sections that measure verbal, quantitative, and analytical writing skills.
Eligibility
A 10+2 pass out of any recognised Indian Board or University is a suitable qualification to take the GRE but generally students go for it after completing their Bachelors degree.
Test Structure
Total time allotted for the Computer-adaptive GRE test is 3 hours, whereas for the Paper-based test it is 3 ¾ hours.
GRE offers two kinds of Examinations to enable admissions panel to assess the applicants and their aptitude towards their chosen fields of study - GRE General Test and GRE Subject Test. Most applicants to Graduate Schools are generally asked to take the GRE General test.
GRE General Test : Generally taken by prospective graduate students, this test measures Verbal reasoning, Analytical and Critical Writing and Quantitative Reasoning skills of a candidate.
GRE Subject test : This version of GRE exam assesses candidates' knowledge level and accomplishments in a specific field of study. Unlike the GRE General test, this test is available only thrice in a year and can be taken only as the paper-based test. The scores of this test are often required for doctoral programs in the US, though some universities require the GRE Subject test scores for Masters-level programs too. The eight subjects in which the GRE subject test is presently conducted are: Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, English Literature, Mathematics, Physics and Psychology.
Each of the three sections is scored on a scale of 200 to 800. The average scores for the GRE are about 470 for Verbal and 570 for Quantitative.
