Any game addict has dreamed at least once of creating their own little game. The lack of programming knowledge is a drawback that can be overcome with the aid of software that can help you to design games without having to write a single line of code.

Such a compiler is Game Maker Lite. This software can be used by beginners and professionals alike, since it sports a fun and friendly environment that allows users to manufacture simple or complex games without the requirement of prior programming experience.

All steps are done through a drag-and-drop technique. Simply provide the software with the command you wish to be executed, and it shall perform it as requested. But if you are keen on learning a gaming programming language, then Game Maker Lite can be switched to Advanced mode.This will allow you to go through more difficult settings and learn a trick or two about how to code a game.

Android growing popularity skyrocketed in the wilds of the operating system. Not surprisingly, the latest operating system made ​​by Internet giant Google Inc., Android OS was quickly adopted by some manufacturers as the rapid growth of smartphone mobile (smart phone) globally.

The appearance-based mobile operating system Android, or Android phones are often called, is often touted as the biggest competitor first iPhone released by Apple. Its existence until now is often matched with the only smart phone Steve Jobs made ​​it.

Users were confused until now, what advantages each of these touch-screen smart phone? Who is superior? On the operator side, Android is considered more troublesome than the iPhone.

Samsung Galaxy S III and iPhone 5 will probably undergo a fierce battle in 2012. Two highly anticipated smartphone is reportedly already will be launched at the close.
Recent leaked Galaxy S III showed a formal invitation that may come from Samsung.Launch time is listed in the city of London on May 22, 2012. There has been no confirmation from Samsung, but once they've made sure the Galaxy S III was introduced in mid-year.




 "Successor to Galaxy S II will be revealed at a separate event in the first half of Samsung this year, adjacent to the availability of commercial products," Samsung said in a statement some time ago.

Without an operating system, a computer would not be useful. Minimally, you need an operating
system to locate files and to start programs. The programs that you run need services
from the operating system to access devices and to interact with other programs. Operating
systems on large computers need to provide more services than those on personal computers.
Here are some typical services:

• Program loading. Every operating system provides some way of launching application
programs. The user indicates what program should be run, usually by typing in the name
of the program or by clicking on an icon. The operating system locates the program code,
loads it in memory, and starts it.

• Managing files. A storage device such as a hard disk is, electronically, simply a device
capable of storing a huge sequence of zeroes and ones. It is up to the operating system to
bring some structure to the storage layout and organize it into files, folders, and so on.
The operating system also needs to impose some amount of security and redundancy into
the file system so that a power outage does not jeopardize the contents of an entire hard
disk. Some operating systems do a better job in this regard than others.

When compression tools became so popular, only WinRAR lived up to the challenge. But soon after it, WinZip made its appearance and proved to be a worthy adversary. It was better, faster, and more efficient.

If you're a computer user who typically handles a multitude of various files, then you would probably like a compression tool that is good enough to suppress the size of a file, without causing any damage to its contents.

Such a piece of software is WinZip, for example.

According to legend, the first bug was found in the Mark II, a huge electromechanical computer
at Harvard University. It really was caused by a bug—a moth was trapped in a relay
switch.

Actually, from the note that the operator left in the log book next to the moth (see
Figure 13), it appears as if the term “bug” had already been in active use at the time.
The pioneering computer scientist Maurice Wilkes wrote: “Somehow, at the Moore
School and afterwards, one had always assumed there would be no particular difficulty in getting programs right. I can remember the exact instant in time at which it dawned on me
that a great part of my future life would be spent finding
                  Figure 13 The First Bug
mistakes in my own programs.”

The Therac-25 is a computerized device that delivers radiation treatment to cancer patients
(see Figure 12). Between June 1985 and January 1987, several of these machines delivered
serious overdoses to at least six patients, killing some of them and seriously maiming the
others.

The machines were controlled by a computer program. Bugs in the program were directly
responsible for the overdoses. According to [1], the program was written by a single programmer,
who had since left the manufacturing company producing the device and could not
be located. None of the company employees interviewed could say anything about the educational
level or qualifications of the programmer.

The investigation by the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found that the
program was poorly documented and that there was neither a specification document nor a
formal test plan. (This should make you think. Do you have a formal test plan for your programs?)
The overdoses were caused by an amateurish design of the software that controlled different
devices concurrently, namely the keyboard, the display, the printer, and the radiation
device itself. Synchronization and data sharing between the tasks were done in an ad hoc
way, even though safe multitasking techniques were known at the time. Had the programmer
enjoyed a formal education that involved these techniques or taken the effort to study
the literature, a safer machine could have been built. Such a machine would have probably
involved a commercial multitasking system, which might have required a more expensive
computer.

DG News Service - Tim Berners-Lee has said that the problem with companies like Facebook and Google is not that they collect vast troves of data about their users, but that they don't share with them what they learn from it.

Berners-Lee, who is often described as the inventor of the World Wide Web, was speaking out against the U.K.'s proposal to allow government intelligence to monitor digital communications. Berners-Lee is a U.K. native.

He acknowledged that users reveal deeply personal information about themselves through their use of the Web.

"You get to know every detail, you get to know, in a way, more intimate details about their life than any person that they talk to, because often people will confide in the Internet as they find their way through medical websites ... or as an adolescent finds their way through a website about homosexuality, wondering what they are and whether they should talk to people about it," he said.

But rather than pushing companies to stop collecting the information, Berners-Lee suggested technology companies should show more restraint in how they use the information and should share it with the users themselves.

"We're moving towards a world in which people agree not to use information for particular purposes. It's not whether you can get my information, it's when you've got it, what you promise not to do with it," he said.

In a scenario that some privacy experts saw as naive, the technology pioneer said an insurance company, for instance, could agree not to use personal details gleaned from Facebook to set the most profitable premium for a would-be customer, even if one of its agents was connected to the prospective customer on the social network.

The problem, according to Berners-Lee, is that "social networking silos" like Facebook and Google "have the data and I don't. "One side of this that I think gets insufficient airing is the value to me of that data," Berners-Lee said.

Berners-Lee said location data from his mobile phones could help him track his exercise habits, for example.

It's hard to say if reams of unstructured data would help individuals less tech-savvy than Berners-Lee, however. Justin Brookman, director of the Project on Consumer Privacy at the Center for Democracy and Technology, was skeptical. But Ryan Calo, with the Center for Internet and Society at Stanford University, said he thought the data could be quite helpful to individuals.

The privacy experts agreed that releasing the data would educate consumers on the issue of Internet privacy, which can seem abstract.

"It's good for companies to make their information available to people. But from my point of view it's just so people have an awareness of what sort of information companies have about them, and collect, and track and keep," Brookman said.

Calo thought seeing the data companies have collected on them would clarify privacy questions for many users.

Compared to "reading generalities about the information that a company might have about you, which is what privacy policies are, being able to access the information that the company does have is much better," he said.

In order for users to draw the kind of useful personal insights Berners-Lee pointed to, data from one source would have to be compatible with data from another. As an advocate of the "open Web," Berners-Lee often argues for data formats to be standardized.

Standardizing data formats would also make it easier for users to opt to leave a service whose privacy practices they don't like, Calo said. That could spur "privacy competition," in which Web services companies would compete for users based on the quality of their privacy policies. The result could be more consumer privacy.

Calo said, by not addressing consumer concerns about privacy, Berners-Lee was "missing a selling point of his idea" of an open Web.

Google Drive is poised to give IT departments yet another headache to deal with.

Drive, the name of Google's data-syncing cloud storage service that's rumored to launch sometime next week, will likely offer many of the features of popular storage apps such as Dropbox and Box, including 5GB of free storage with upgrades of up to 100GB of storage for users willing to pay for service.

But there's a big difference between other cloud storage apps and Google Drive, which is namely that the former are run by small, independent firms while the latter will be run by one of the largest companies in tech and will thus be harder to avoid. Forrester analyst Frank Gillett says that the ubiquity of Google applications such as Gmail, YouTube and Maps will make it much harder for enterprises to block Google Drive than Dropbox or Box.

Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom may not be going to trial after all on charges of copyright infringement.

That's according to the judge in the case, and the development comes after months of drama involving the now shuttered filing-sharing website.

U.S. District Judge Liam O'Grady made the proclamation while hearing arguments about deleting Megaupload member files, which are enormously expensive to maintain.

The judge said a discussion about wiping Megaupload's database could be premature and that a more relevant question was why Megaupload had not been formally served with criminal papers by the United States.

In 1971, Marcian E. “Ted” Hoff, an engineer at Intel Corporation was working on a chip for
a manufacturer of electronic calculators. He realized that it would be a better idea to develop
a general-purpose chip that could be programmed to interface with the keys and display of a
calculator, rather than to do yet another custom design. Thus, the microprocessor was born.
At the time, its primary application was as a controller for calculators, washing machines,
and the like. It took years for the computer industry to notice that a genuine central processing
unit was now available as a single chip.

Hobbyists were the first to catch on. In 1974 the first computer kit, the Altair 8800, was
available from MITS Electronics for about $350. The kit consisted of the microprocessor, a
circuit board, a very small amount of memory, toggle switches, and a row of display lights.
Purchasers had to solder and assemble it, then program it in machine language through the
toggle switches. It was not a big hit.

The first big hit was the Apple II. It was a real computer with a keyboard, a monitor, and
a floppy disk drive. When it was first released, users had a $3,000 machine that could play
Space Invaders, run a primitive bookkeeping program, or let users program it in BASIC. The
original Apple II did not even support lowercase letters, making it worthless for word processing.
The breakthrough came in 1979, with a new spreadsheet program, VisiCalc (see
Figure 8). In a spreadsheet, you enter financial data and their relationships into a grid of rows
and columns. Then you modify some of the data and watch in real time how the others change.
For example, you can see how changing the mix of widgets in a manufacturing plant
might affect estimated costs and profits. Middle managers in companies, who understood
computers and were fed up with having to wait for hours or days to retrieve their data runs
from the computing center, snapped up VisiCalc and the computer that was needed to run it.
For them, the computer was a spreadsheet machine.
