During the Google I/0 2011 conference, there was an announcement made about the Chromebook operating system. This term basically describes all notebooks that support the Chrome operating system. The two manufacturers featured are Acer and Samsung, announced by Sundar Pichai.

The Chromebook wants to reinvent and redesign the whole PC experience while solely focusing on the web features, by bringing the perks of phones and tablets. It concentrates on improving security, portability and access. And because we know how frustrated we all get when we start-up our PC systems and wait light-years till everything is ready, the Chromebook will boot in 8 seconds.

Samsung Series 5, the first “lab rat” has a 12.1 inch display, dual core Intel Atom processor, all day battery usage and it is available in 2 colors. The version for WiFi costs $429 and the one for 3G can be bought at the price of $499. The Acer Chromebook has a 11.6 inch display, dual core Intel Atom processor, 6 hours of battery usage and its pricing starts at $349.

Both of the Chromebooks are coming out on June 15th at Amazon.com and Best Buy online (UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and soon in Netherlands too).

Microsoft has been working on a new version of Windows for some time now. The work-in-progress name is Windows 8 and there are some unconfirmed rumors about it.

Windows 8

Apparently, Windows 8 has borrowed some elements from Windows Phone 7 and Microsoft Office. It will use the “ribbon” interface, first seen in Office 2007 and will replace the current menu style. The biggest advantage is that all features are now organized in logical tabs with dynamic ribbon buttons involved (Library Tools, Picture Tools, Disk Tools).

New features include Sync (synchronizes folders between computers) and Web Sharing (folders can be stored on Microsoft servers, accessible by anyone via a link). The log-in interface is similar to Windows Phone 7, based on text and images, having minimized elements on screen. Internet Explorer browser will show preview images of recently visited pages (just like Google Chrome).

According to WinRumors.com, Win8 uses a new extension (.appx) which allows applications developed in Silverlight to run on more platforms, like Xbox 360 and Windows Phone. Might support tablets, 128-bit, 3D, facial recognition, faster start-up time, location awareness, Kinect, multiple desktops, smart sticky notes and Skew Windows Management for Touch.

Nothing out of the ordinary, but a combination of these features can present a smart, useful, user-friendly Windows 8.

Motorola transforms you in Robocop

Motorola has introduced a new concept of portable computer (Kopin Golden-i) that attaches to the head and you will turn into a real … Robocop.

As we look around at real things, on a mini-screen placed in front of me will read price information, as was the policeman in the movie.

Because of the hardware point of view, things are pretty clear, much remains to be seen how developers will be able to create special computer software that could be carried all the time.

Concepts of this kind we met, but this is the first that comes from a company that has financial strength to complete such a project.

Kasperski boast that they have just received a patent in the United States for a hardware antivirus solution type. In other words, it’s hard cleaning the viruses that are no longer dealing with an application from the operating system, but with a physical device, integrated in the PC it will be easier.


Russian company came to this concept in their desire to offer more efficient ways to fight root-kits and Trojan horse type virus. A device that works on hardware level could easily detect security vulnerability than one application from operating system.

According to the patent, hardware antivirus should be located somewhere on the route between the motherboard and hard drive and will come with its own CPU and memory.

Unfortunately, in this certificate is not included a way to update the database via direct connection to the Internet, the device is dependent on a hardware device in the operating system. In addition, a hardware virus can not monitor network connections and provide a necessary feature of almost all current software solutions. We have to wait to see if people from Kasperski will even build a device based on newly earned certificate.
