A burst of 7 8 links for you to chew over, as picked by the Technology team
Dell World: Dell gearing up to launch Windows 8 devices as Android disappoints"Dell is throwing its weight firmly behind the Windows 8 tablet platform in a bid to challenge the dominance of the Apple iPad 2.
Michael Dell, founder and chief executive of Dell, appeared to play down Android in favour of Windows and hinted there would be a number of Microsoft-based products announced soon.
"'We are very aligned with Microsoft around Windows 8. You'll hear more about Windows 8 from us and see a wide range of products released,' Dell told journalists during a Q&A; at Dell World 2011 in Texas."
That's the Dell which is pulling back from Windows Phone and focussing on Android smartphones.
Pegatron lands higher-than-expected iPhone 4S orders >> Digitimes"Pegatron Technology has landed orders for 15m units of the iPhone 4S from Apple with shipments reaching 2-2.5m units in the fourth quarter of 2011, the Chinese-language Commercial Times has cited sources as saying. Earlier reports indicated that the volume of Pegatron's iPhone 4S orders would be only 10m units.
"Pegatron has also strengthened its deployment for metal chassis, aiming to also land orders for the iPad 3 from Apple as well as ultrabook orders from branded notebook vendors, said the paper, adding that Pegatron has already secured ultrabook orders from Asustek Computer and Lenovo."
So basically Apple seems to be upping its iPhone 4S orders by 50%. That's some disappointment.
The Science Code Manifesto"Software is a cornerstone of science. Without software, twenty-first century science would be impossible. Without better software, science cannot progress.
"But the culture and institutions of science have not yet adjusted to this reality. We need to reform them to address this challenge, by adopting these five principles:...."
They're good ones.
Windows 7 overtakes XP to become the most widely used OS >> WinRumors"Windows 7 now accounts for 40.21% of all global desktop operating system usage across the world. Windows XP usage slipped to 38.64% in the month of October according to StatCounter. The drop in XP usage has been consistent since Windows 7′s launch but October marks the first time that Windows 7 has passed Windows XP usage, an important milestone for Microsoft after two years of Windows 7 sales."
Breathes sigh of relief. Windows 7 is simply far more secure in so many ways; everyone benefits from there being fewer XP installations. Now what will it take to get IE6 replaced, especailly in western governments?
iOS 5… Oh what a night! >> PlusNet blogA huge blast of traffic as people stopped using iPlayer and started downloading iOS5 and - it seems - downloaded some music. PlusNet added about 2Gbps of capacity to its network; it just about managed to stay inside capacity.
iOS5 reviewed: Notifications, iMessages, and iCloud, oh my! >> Ars TechnicaVery impressive (and long; make some coffee) review. Notifications looks like it has leapfrogged Android by some distance.
The last time I saw Steve Jobs >> pluckytree"Steve was heading towards a car parked next to the curb with its door open, waiting for him. The car was idling. A family was standing near the Apple sign outside the building, a common site for people to take photos on their pilgrimages to Apple.
"The father turned to Steve as he passed close by and asked, 'Excuse me, sir, would you mind taking our photo?'"
Now read on.
Microsoft confirms Zune HD is dead >> This is my next..."After a flurry of back and forth reports concerning the life of the Zune HD, WMPoweruser is now reporting that Microsoft has indeed pulled the plug on its Zune hardware, and will instead focus its efforts moving forward on the software and services side of the equation."
J Allard always imagined the Zune as a cloud device. Now more cloud than device, however.
