Microsoft To Intruduce 120-Inch Smart TV




Microsoft is the latest company would think when it comes to television, but it is not just a TV. This is a giant 120-inch TV! Once again, Microsoft has gone where no company has ever been. The size of the TV shows the largest. However, television is made specifically for use by the company. Furthermore no risk that commercially available would be some time in the future.

According to reports from the Redmond based company based on the television are made in the context of conceiving the "house of the future". It will be part of the presentation by Microsoft to change the way we perceive the technology to homes in the future to change to tones. The demo will be shown at the Center for Occupational company that recently opened at the headquarters in Seattle.

The specifications of the TV offer an enticing proposition. There is much more to it than just a size of 10 meters. It is a widescreen TV with 4K functionality. What this means is that Samsung is not longer the distinction of having the largest in the world has 4KTV. With 4K image quality viewers see no pixelation even if they sit close to the screen. The visual effects are clear from any angle you choose to look.


Is used to demo Kinect used to preview the home and workplace of the future play. The company believes that this technology can be widely available within the next five years. In the demo, Microsoft shows the different technologies and devices that expect the TV to be connected. This includes picture frames on the sides of a larger picture. They also believe that the lights would be part of the television in the future that the overall experience will be improved.

No doubt that 4K is the "in" thing on television now refers. Many TV manufacturers in the world are working to create bigger and better models that use the technology. But no TV is not even close to the size of the Microsoft TV. CES in January this year took a look at the future of television. At that time there was no indication that Microsoft is a giant TV on the sleeve that gives it an advantage over other 4K TVs had.

So far the company has absolutely no plans to sell the TV. The only reason I decided to create was for research and for his future friends show. It would be some time before Microsoft employees are able to witness this miracle of technology, although reports indicate that the person responsible for the screen trying to get a movie night running. Although Microsoft has no plans for the 120-inch TV to sell, it should not come as a surprise if some manufacturers contacted them about technology.

The PlayStation 4: Features Revealed


The vine has burned through speculation about the PlayStation 4, which more than one player has been waiting for. With the PlayStation 3 is nothing less than breathtaking, we can only hope that the next generation PlayStation console even more. And with all the rumors around like there's no tomorrow, what we really know about the PlayStation 4?

At least in terms of concrete and official statements, and verified. I wish there was more to say, but the only "official" explanation we Sony's Kaz Hirai, CEO Global, and has nothing to do with what you can expect on the design and specifications of the new console.

CVG reports that the Executive is this statement to the model again: "Why go first to your competitors their specifications and come up with something better?"

I do not know about you, but that seems to be the confirmation that we have the PlayStation 4, after seeing the next generation of Xbox. And, Hirai's right! While Sony usually makes it a point to be the first, seems to change tactics on this occasion. Is it good for them? Time will tell.

Technical specifications


Regarding the technical specifications of the PlayStation 4, there is no official data are released, but there is no shortage of speculation. One thing we all agree: only better.

Eurogamer has an article about what we can expect from the PlayStation 4. The important thing now is the processor, which is believed to eight cores and clock to 1.6GHz. Jaguar AMD architecture is the underlying technology. AMD also handles graphics with the AMD Radeon HD graphics core clocked at 800 MHz with 18 points after the calculation.

In terms of memory, the PlayStation 4 should 4GB GDDR5, plus 512 MB for the operating system. That should satisfy players with a need for speed. (What player do not, right?)

In any case, speculation or not, it is not likely that the PlayStation 4 see anytime soon on the shelves, but a few weeks wait for the official release. Birds are whispering about this non-stop, so it must be true.

IE10 Finally Coming to Windows 7




"Friends let friends use Internet Explorer" is a popular expression in the world meme, but that may change when Microsoft finally released Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 7. Although the beta version (Internet Explorer 10 Preview Windows 7) was introduced in November last year, the latest version has not yet seen the light of day. However, Microsoft has recently sent private emails to select testers, Microsoft asking them to notify in case of problems with the previous version.

The message also says that you cannot announce the date for the launch of the latest generation, but the testers selected to hurry in case you have something to report. This means that the product is in the final stage and will be released soon.

In a highly competitive and saturated market a bit, where the likes of Chrome, Firefox and Safari are always competing for a larger market share, Microsoft Internet Explorer 10 provides a much-needed edge.


The IE10 is already included with Windows 8 and Windows RT, but not join to Windows 7. Initially a test generation is introduced to users in 2011, and then constructs a proof of the improvement was introduced in 2012. Judging by the email, the final build here any time during the coming months. However, these are speculations.

Because Internet Explorer is already fully operational in Windows 8, the delay in the launch of Windows 7 due to the difference between the technologies used both in Windows. Windows 7 require some updated API to transfer from Windows 8 before it can support Internet Explorer 10. Two of these APIs (Direct2D API accelerated graphics and text DirectWrite APIs) are still in beta and should be available in the latest versions of IE10 is released.

We will keep you posted as more news to come, for now the final version is expected within a few months.

Microsoft Security Essentials: AV Certification Test Fails




Microsoft Security Essentials has failed to obtain certification from AV-Test - the independent German institute best known for evaluating the effectiveness of antivirus software.

In November and December 2012, a team of AV-Test continually evaluated 25 security products for home users who have their default values​​. The evaluation focuses on the three main areas of usability, protection and repair.

The evaluation of AV-Test, which aims to directly detect the latest malware to analyze and inform clients of the obtained results showed that the free offer from Microsoft does not adequately protect against malware attacks '0 days'. In this category, Microsoft Security Essentials scored an average of 71% in November, compared to industry average of 92%.

The AV-Test report said: "We always have the most recent version available to the public of all products used in the test should get whenever you in-the-cloud services We focus on .. Realistic test scenarios and the products challenged against real-world threats. "

Microsoft Security Essentials provides real-time protection for your home PC or small businesses, helping to protect against viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

Below Industry Average


The new research had the potential use of all components and protection layers to show.
Although Microsoft beats the industry average of 12 percent for "malicious removal of other components and restore critical system changes", the popular antivirus software found in other categories.


From 215,999 samples for the "detection of a representative set of malware discovered in the last two or three months category, the industry standard was 97 percent. Microsoft declined to less than the 90 percent in December and 92 percent in November.


Microsoft Hits Back


Joe Blackbird , Microsoft Malware Protection Center Program Manager,  said the company conducted a "thorough investigation" of the results, if the results warrant. He also emphasized how difficult it is for independent testing organizations to design anti-malware tests that are "consistent with real-world conditions that customers live in '.

After the results of AV-Test Microsoft used a retrospective analysis to see if one of your customers in finding one of the missing files were found in the test.

Blackbird  said "The results show that 0.0033 percent of our Microsoft Security Essentials and Microsoft Forefront Endpoint Protection clients were affected by undetected malware samples during testing. Addition, 94 percent of the malware samples not during testing did not affect our customers".
