Why most of the people love XP rather than other operating system


Windows XP
Windows XP is considered as a most operated operating system in the world. Most of the people are still using this operating system in this world. Even we can’t find anyone in this world without knowing XP operating system, I mean among the literal guys in the world. Windows XP was developed by the Microsoft Corporation which is considered as the best operating system by most of the computer geek around us. Even Microsoft Corporation has developed and released Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 too, Windows XP is loved by most of the people and it is the most loved operating system by everyone. Even Microsoft Corporation has stopped the support for Windows XP operating system; people are still using that operating system for most of the purposes.

But most of the people don’t know what makes people to love the Windows XP operating system? And also they were searching for the reason for that. I have noticed that few of the people are requesting the sellers to reformat the built-in Windows 7 operating system and asking to install windows XP in it. This thing is very mystery for most of the people; but now we have analyzed the reason for the popularity of the Windows XP operating system. Here I have listed the reasons why most of the people love to work with Windows XP operating system and here they are;

1. Hardware Requirements for Newer operating system

We know that newer versions of operating system will require more memory and in order to work with the newer operating system we need to provide better hardware capabilities for your personal computer. So, the newer operating system will run smoothly on your local machine. And one more thing is that, newer operating system requires dual amount of graphics support to run an application. For instance, Running NFS underground in Windows XP will require 256 MB of video card. But in the same time, this application will take 512 MB of video card in Windows 7 operating system. So hardware is one of the reasons which make the people to stick with windows XP.

2. Don’t have much information about the other operating system:

It is another reason which makes the people stick with the Windows XP operating system. Some of them will rarely use the computers so that they never know about the other operating system available in the market.

3. Cost of newer OS

The cost of the other operating system will cost more and people who’re running institutions and schools cannot afford operating system for all computers. So, they will go for windows XP operating system for lower cost.

4. Software Compatibility

Most of the designers were coding the software for the windows XP operating system and the latest operating system has more compatibility issues. This makes the people to stick with the Window XP operating system and they use them for more efficient tasking too.

Google closes Bump and Flock


Closed
Both Android and iOS applications Bump and Flock will no longer be available at the end of the month. But development teams working on “new projects “in Google.

As Yahoo, Google's acquisition strategy is designed to build more new services but rather to integrate skills to develop new tools. In this context, we learn that Google will close Bump and Flock. The best known of these tools, Bump, can easily share data between two Smartphones by bumping against each other.

The peculiarity of the system is that it does not use NFC. The application detects the sensor information from the Smartphone when "bump" and sends them to a server where an algorithm will analyze and find the same characteristics on the other terminal. Once identified two Smartphones, can exchange data between them. Bump was a resounding success with over 100 million downloads.

David Lieb , CEO of Bump that in September they had announced that their team would integrate Google Bump to continue their work and help users to share information via their mobile device. They are now focused on their new projects within Google and decided to terminate Bump and Flock.

On January 31, Bump and Flock will be removed from the online stores like App Store and Google Play. After this date, none of these two applications will no longer work and all data stored therein will be erased. Hence it means that users of both applications have 30 days to export their data and store it elsewhere.

Flying Robot That Was Inspired By Jellyfish


Flying Robot That Was Inspired By Jellyfish

The movement of jellyfish is unique, and it moves in a rhythm. Now, there is a robot created by a team of scientists is able to move in the same way that those mysterious animals. This robot is the exact replica of the jelly fish that travels through the air in the same way that of its animal model. This incredible robot is the brainchild of researchers at New York University.

What is peculiar in that is, it can float in the air with an inspired functioning of jellyfish. Indeed, the drone reproduces the movement of aquatic animal pulse to stabilize in the air and move on. Many drones are already inspired by insects to fly or to avoid obstacles but the same principle of insect wings is something difficult to replicate by robots of this size.

This is why researchers at the university have developed a prototype inspired by jellyfish. The robot consists of four "wings" shaped petals that allow it to remain stable in the air at any time, but also to advance in spurts. This little robot measures only 8 inches tall and weighs just only 2 grams, limited just by the size and weight required to operate its wings energy.

This robot can thus float as a jellyfish and remain in suspension or fly in any direction but it cannot be directed towards a specific direction for the moment. Its inventor, Leif Ristroph says that for now “it is only a proof of concept" and we are still far from having a robot like this really usable. The researchers now facing a challenge is to reducing the robot size of a centimeter so that it can be used in surveillance missions and go completely unnoticed in some areas.

 The concept of this robot is really interesting. It's crazy to watch him move through the air like a real jellyfish. We would like to see more robots inspired from the animal kingdom as is the case here. For now, its uses are still limited but we hope that they exceed the scope of supervision to be helpful to us too.
