Nhóm các công ty đối thủ của công ty phần mềm máy tính Microsoft thuộc Mạng sáng chế mở (OIN) như IBM, Ret Hat Inc., Sony Corp… vừa hoàn tất các giao dịch mua lại bản quyền của 22 bằng sáng chế liên quan đến hệ điều hành Linux mà Microsoft đã bán cho các công ty và tổ chức khác đầu năm nay.
Linux là hệ điều hành nguồn mở hoàn toàn miễn phí đã giành được ưu thế so với hệ điều hành Window của Microsoft, đặc biệt được sử dụng trong kinh doanh, các máy chủ trong các công ty lớn.
Nhiều nhà sử dụng Linux đã khẳng định hệ điều hành này thậm chí còn đảm bảo an ninh hơn hệ điều hành Windows vì nó hoàn toàn mở và có thể tùy biến dễ dàng hơn cho người sử dụng.
Trước nguy cơ cạnh tranh với hệ điều hành Window, Microsoft tuyên bố các công ty sử dụng hệ điều hành Linux đã vi phạm bản quyền các sáng chế của Microsoft. Đầu năm nay, Microsoft đã khởi kiện công ty Tomtom NV chế tạo thiết bị định vị vệ tinh của Đức lên tòa án liên bang Mỹ với cáo buộc công ty này vi phạm bản quyền các phát minh của Microsoft do sử dụng hệ điều hành Linux.
Microsoft cho rằng hơn 200 bằng sáng chế trong tổng số hơn 50 nghìn bằng sáng chế của họ có liên quan đến hệ điều hành Linux.
Tuy nhiên, với việc làm chủ bản quyền 22 bằng sáng chế vừa mua được, những công ty sử dụng Linux tuyên bố họ đã tránh được những đe dọa về pháp lý cũng như các vụ kiện cáo tốn kém và tránh được nguy cơ những bằng sáng chế liên quan đến Linux bị sử dụng vì mục đích tiêu cực.

“Make up” cho Windows 7 với theme ẩn sẵn có
Vài mẫu theme đẹp sẵn có trong Windows 7 nhưng không hiểu sao Microsoft lại cố tình “ẩn” chúng đi. Vài thao tác đơn giản có thể giúp "lôi" chúng ra để làm mới giao diện vốn chẳng khác gì Vista.
Đầu tiên, bạn truy cập vào My Computer, click chọn Organize ở góc trên cùng bên trái và chọn tiếp Folder and Search Options ở menu hiện ra.
Tại cửa sổ Folder Options, bạn chọn tab View. Trong danh sách tại mục Advanced Settings, đánh dấu vào mục Show hidden Files và bỏ chọn ở mục Hide protected operating system files (Recommended). Bấm OK để tiếp tục.
Tiếp theo, quay trở lại cửa sổ My Computer và tìm đến thư mục theo đường dẫn: C:\Windows\Globalization\MCT\. Bạn sẽ thấy trong thư mục MCT sẽ có 5 thư mục con khác với tên MCT-XX (Trong đó XX là các ký tự AU, CA, GB, US hoặc ZA).
Truy cập vào 1 trong 5 thư mục này để kích hoạt kiểu giao diện ẩn bên trong chúng bằng cách click đôi vào file XX.theme có bên trong đó. Một khi kiểu theme đã được kích hoạt, chúng sẽ được lưu lại trong tùy chọn Personalization và bạn có thể dễ dàng sử dụng chúng như cách thay đổi theme thông thường.
Bây giờ, truy cập lại cửa sổ Folder Options như bước 1, 2 hướng dẫn ở trên, chọn tab View và nhấn vào nút Restore Default để khôi phục lại các thuộc tính mặc định của Windows.
Sau khi đã kích hoạt cả 5 theme trong 5 thư mục theo hướng dẫn ở trên, sẽ có thêm 5 giao diện mới để bạn lựa chọn nếu muốn thay đổi “bộ mặt” của Windows 7.
Cách thức thay đổi giao diện:
Để thay đổi giao diện cho windows khá đơn giản, tuy nhiên không phải ai cũng biết cách thực hiện. Sau đây là các bước tiến hành:
Tại màn hình desktop, bạn click chuột phải vào một vùng trống bất kỳ và chọn Personalization.
Tại cửa sổ hiện ra tiếp theo, bạn chọn mục Theme, và cửa sổ Theme Settings sẽ xuất hiện để bạn chọn kiểu giao diện sao cho ưng ý nhất. (Trong này sẽ bao gồm cả 5 mẫu giao diện mà bạn đã mở khóa được ở trên).
Hy vọng, với thủ thuật đơn giản này, bạn có thể tìm được thêm cho mình giao diện phù hợp nhất.

Một số điểm hay và dở trong Windows 7
Hệ điều hành mới nhất của Microsoft không hoàn hảo nhưng đã khắc phục những hạn chế và thực hiện được nhiều điều mà Vista chưa làm được.
> Hình ảnh Windows 7 RTM.
Windows 7 không còn một số ứng dụng như Photo Gallery, Movie Maker, cũng không được đặt tên riêng như Vista, Experience (XP), Millennium... mà đơn giản chỉ là 7 (bản Windows thứ 7). Tuy nhiên, điều đó cũng cho thấy hệ điều hành này sẽ hoạt động đơn giản, không quá hào nhoáng và không gây khó chịu cho người sử dụng. Nó được thiết kế để giúp mọi người hoàn thành công việc dễ dàng hơn.
Một trong những điểm đáng tiếc ở Vista là môi trường Aero đòi hỏi cấu hình quá cao khiến nhiều máy tính không thể chạy trơn tru. Trong khi đó, Windows 7 hoạt động ổn định trên đa số các hệ thống từng được được thử nghiệm, kể cả netbook. Taskbar được thiết kế lại.
Taskbar gần như không thay đổi từ Windows 95, nhưng trong bản 7, nó đã được thiết kế lại dưới dạng ribbon và bổ sung khả năng duyệt trước (thumbnail preview) để người dùng có cái nhìn sơ lược nội dung bên trong. Tính năng Jump Lists cho phép bấm chuột phải để truy cập một tác vụ liên quan đến ứng dụng cả khi ứng dụng đó chưa được mở ra. Công cụ quản lý System Tray.
Khu vực System Tray (khay hệ thống) ở góc phải cuối màn hình không còn những nhắc báo liên tục hiện ra gây phiền toái cho người dùng nhờ công cụ quản lý thuận tiện.
Libraries.
Một công cụ khác được giới chuyên môn ca ngợi là Libraries (Thư viện ảo). Bao năm qua, Microsoft cố "đào tào" người dùng lưu trữ file cá nhân ở khu vực có tên My Documents. Nhưng rất nhiều người tảng lờ folder này và đặt các tệp tin "vô tội vạ". Tính năng Libraries với folder ảo về tài liệu, nhạc, ảnh, video... sẽ gom các file có chung đặc tính đang nằm rải rác trên ổ cứng vào folder ảo đó để người sử dụng có cái nhìn tổng thể. Ví dụ, Pictures Library tập hợp và hiển thị mọi ảnh đang được lưu ở chục khu vực khác nhau (trên desktop, trong My Documents, trong folder "ảnh sinh nhật" ở ổ D...).
Tuy nhiên, nhược điểm của Windows 7 là công cụ Windows Update vẫn đòi hỏi người sử dụng phải tắt máy (shut down) mới có thể cập nhật được các bản vá lỗi.
Ngoài ra, nếu muốn chuyển từ XP lên Windows 7, họ sẽ phải cài lại toàn bộ các ứng dụng và thiết lập lại chế độ settings, thay vì đơn giản "nâng cấp" như từ Vista lên bản 7.

5 attractive businesses missing in the technology world
Yahoo not only deprived throne King in online search but to overcome loss of the most popular social network Facebook in the world when the idea of iPods also have had a dislike.
A number of business technology has not occurred by the parties involved do not see the potential and future products.
Yahoo misses Facebook
2006, Facebook was the first start two years and capital integrity 8 million users, while MySpace is making rain as the wind with 100 million members. Meanwhile, Yahoo has proposed to buy social network with attractive prices $ 1 billion, nearly double the amount of investment for Rupert Murdoch MySpace in 2005.
However, Yahoo experienced some financial difficulties, stocks down 22% so quickly CEO Terry Semel is lowering its price down to 800 million in Facebook, age 23 Founder Mark Zuckerberg decided Regression. Two months later, Yahoo repeated the offer initially but was too late. Currently Facebook is a social network of the world with 250 million members, value estimated 50-10 billion. Yahoo still after 3 years with two CEOs still life continues directions for their services.
Real Networks dislikes iPod
CEO Steve Jobs of Apple did not invent the iPod, but he accepted the development concept by Tony Fadell form after the idea of engineers was the Philips and Real Networks deny the fall of 2000.
At that time, many models have appeared on the music player market but Fadell small device, thinner and focus on content development. Repository content that is iTunes and Apple controls 80% of the online music market. Real Networks are also participating in this market, but sales too small compared with Apple.
Sony and Toshiba disagreement about HD standards
Middle decades of the 90th century, the world also witnessed a fight optical disc technology and related parties have sat together to unify the format for the birth Digital Versatile Disc (DVD).
Race to determine the next-generation optical disc standard not happen so smoothly. Since 2002, Sony and Toshiba each party formed a coalition to support their format (Blu-ray and HD DVD is not compatible with each other). In 2008, Sony made the U.S. flag when Warner Brothers paid to amount to $ 400 million for this movie studios abandon HD DVD production and switch to movies on Blu-ray.
Toshiba HD DVD and losses with Sony also take no less effort and money to win but today, sales of Blu-ray is only one tenth compared to DVD. Not to mention the future, users will tend to download content on the network and video on demand (VoD) instead of buying discs.
Opportunity for Microsoft
1980, when IBM wanted to find partners to build the operating system for IBM PC, Microsoft is not first choice. Big Blue has to meet Gary Kildall of Digital Research Company, author operating system CP / M. However, because you have another customer, Kildall's wife to negotiate with Ms. Dorothy Kildall and IBM did not like some part of this agreement the company.
Online search before Google
Between the 1990, the technology is not the most popular search on Yahoo, Alta Vista, Lycos or Hot Wired, which is the Open Text Web Index. Similar to Google today, Open Text was praised by speed, accurate and comprehensive.
Yahoo's search technology has put Open Text in their services. But after two years, Open Text quit to move to content management business without knowing that the online search will flourished how. A year after Google appeared and was "in his big" look with eyes half but now the airline is almost dominated all content on the Internet.
