Author: admin  //  Category: Computer&Internet Tips

We all have seen the ipad ( Apple Tablet ) and Frankly it was a breath taking

With all the possibilities you can do and all that advanced featured that Comes with it. We woke up in these days on Microsoft’s biggest surprise in the Tablet technology, its Microsoft Courier.

Microsoft Said  that Courier is not a tablet . it’s a booklet as it got he dual 7-inch screens are multitouch, and designed for writing, flicking and drawing with a stylus, in addition to fingers.Looks like it could Revolutionize personal business device.

The Courier user experience presented here is almost the exact opposite of what everyone expects the Apple tablet to be, a kung fu eagle claw to Apple’s tiger style. It’s complex: Two screens, a mashup of a pen-dominated interface with several types of multitouch finger gestures, and multiple graphically complex themes, modes and applications. (Our favorite UI bit? The hinge doubles as a “pocket” to hold items you want move from one page to another.) Microsoft’s tablet heritage is digital ink-oriented, and this interface, while unlike anything we’ve seen before, clearly draws from that, its work with the Surface touch computer and even the Zune HD.

You’ve better check out that video and know what i am exactly talking about.

Question is . Does really Courier  able to say early good bye to ipad ?

Google Docs Gets File Storage: Is This the GDrive?

Author: admin  //  Category: Computer&Internet Tips, Other articles

Google on Tuesday is making a big move with its Docs service, opening it up to all types of file uploads. This includes photos, movies, music, and ZIP archives, all of which will be stored on Google’s servers.

Along with opening up Docs to additional file types, Google is also dramatically increasing the size of individual uploads. Where the company will still limit users to 500KB for Microsoft Word documents, and 10MB for PowerPoint presentations and PDFs, the new limit for all other files that cannot be converted into a Google Docs format is 250MB. This is 10 times the size of what’s allowed as an attachment in the company’s Web mail service Gmail.

In a post on the company’s blog, Google Docs’ product manager Vijay Bangaru said that the new size and file type allowances serve to make Docs a replacement for USB drives, allowing users to access their files between computers. The company is also applying the same permissions-based sharing system it has for documents that it hosts, allowing users to share files with one another.

That said, the amount of space for non-Google Docs files that are stored within Docs will only be 1GB. Users can upgrade though, and Google is planning on that.

Just like users can  purchase additional space  for other Google services like Picasa Web Albums and Gmail, users will soon be able to rent space from Google. For standard Google Docs users this will be 25 cents per gigabyte, per year, while Google Apps enterprise users have to pay $3.50 per gigabyte, per year. That’s a hefty price difference, but customer support, and a service level agreement that guarantees uptime add costs.
