HP's future may not look so bright, but it might look bright also. They have entered to the battle for the Tablet PC market. However this might a difficult one to one, having the current success of iPad and the imminentness success of Android Tablet.
HP bought Pam for $1.2 million, to get their apps teams to develop devices for their version table computing. They want to have a share and that is fair, however things everything is still plans even though the device is planned to be launched by early February of 2009.
I personally think HP is playing the catching up game, I don't see HP being competitive against guys that have already millions of developers interested in their devices, google's case it before it actually exists.Moreover, the market might not take as easy, this is a new technology that is attractive but given its simpleness can be tough to swallow.
Moreover, HP bought a company which in its last days of independence was losing market share in every possible way. I hope the best to H but, they got to be careful, they should maybe install Android OS to their devices, why not? After all it is about to get the device rolling and HP knows about devices better than software.

User interface future - New devices Coming!
Many companies around the world in a battle to bring to life the new input device for computers that will rule the computing world as the mouse and keyboard do nowadays. Lots of imagination, creativity and extensive endless hours of work have brought new input devices that promise to be a blast in terms of coolness and productivity effectiveness.
Even though it is expensive, a company called Art Lebedev Design, a technology company focused on the developing new user interface and technology, is about to put in the market a device called the Optimus/Adaptive Keyboard. Known for being very expensive and for using touch screen controls system to display a keyboard. The device was built as a result of a contest that has as its only purpose to incentive new ideas.
This cool keyboard not lets people browse within applications and project, but also allows users to select the files they are looking for directly from the keyboard. I invite you to check this video I found on PCworld which will let some of you wondering when the digital future from the movies is going to be.

McAfee purchased by Intel
From any stand point of view, Intel's move has been clever. At a Glance, it simply means that Intel is now going to have a field to start making money. It is also important to know that McAfee is going to play a very important role and security matters, such that important that McAfee can simple become the biggest computer security system in history.
It is also assumed that this move will let Intel develop better devices based on security threats, which is going to lead to better computers and maybe a new way of using computers. In Computing terms, Meego the new OS system developed by Intel and Nokia is going to be in the market, and now that McAfee in on their side, a security back up is available which is going to look more appealing to users as it is going to be secure, directly from the factory.
Whatever the outcome is, for sure Intel has something big and nice prepared for all us, so stay tunned.

Facebook is about to meet it rival?
Rumors are currently wide spread that Google is working hard on a new social network. Nevertheless, these rumors all bring from the past unsuccessful stories from Google itself in the networking field. Examples such as Orkut, Wave and Buzz.
It is important to understand that Facebook is failing in many features at a time. The most important feature where Facebook is failing is in its users privacy. It has a way to personalize those features, so you can decide what do you want to share and what you don't want to share, but the process is a little bit too complicated.
This means that if "Google Me" comes up, and fix the privacy problems and implements all its easy to do way of doing things, Facebook privileged position in the market is going to be soon in dispute. We still don't know if Facebook is going to finally meet their rival, but it is important to discuss that possibility as all of the bad things int has are openly discussed and why not this can lead to be fixed.

Technology cannot solve all the problems
It has been a while since we first saw presentation through a computer. In fact, we are now able to see them using a wide variety of software and hardware as technology is getting better and better. However, technology doesn't fix some of the basic problems people have while they are making presentations. They forget that using technology doesn't guarantee success, technology itself, unless you are the developer, is just a tool to make your life easier.
When making presentation people tend to forget that the fact that we can copy and paste as many content we want, it doesn't mean that we have to do it. I encourage to visit the link I will provide below. It contains 10 examples of what a presentation done with a computer shouldn't look like.
Take this a suggestion to improve your performance at school and the office, whenever you need to present something, a good presentation for a sales department could mean millions in sales, what if you apply for school now.

Black Friday it will be
According to rumors on Black Friday is going to launch their version of a tablet PC. This system is going to be running a Chrome OS from Google. However it is not only Google and HTC, Verizon is in the team playing the same role that At&t plays for the iPad.
What seems to be difference between this relation is that Verizon will be taking the sales and connectivity tasks, HTC the producer tasks and Google the OS task, in other terms each team member will be working where he is the best. So finally, some competence will be around for iPad, which in my opinion is a great device but, it can be definitely better.
Regardless what the outcome of this incredible market might be, the only beneficiaries are going to be the customers. We're going to get better devices, with new utilities at great prices.

Apple vs Google, the mobile OS battle
To the eyes of the world Apple gained lots of respect and followers. Not only because they have gained clients comparing themselves with Microsoft at almost ignorant consumer, but also because brilliant devices like iPhone and iPod are in the market.
However, regardless the fame acquired in the late years Apple is making the same mistake once they've done. They want to control everything. That is the bad part of apple, of course they use not have virus, because they were developing everything by themselves, now as they have to be more competitive, they had to let third party hardware and software to come in. This external sources relationship might work if you are willing to open up your doors, but if you are willing to open up your doors and limit developer, you are going to get right in the aim of hackers and criticism.
In the cellphones market, Apple is just wrong with the kind of answers they are giving to their customers and trying to point their weakness on someone else. They are also limiting basic and important business tools like the ones developed by Adobe to be played on all its devices, which is wrong because lets face it, what business in todays world doesn't have to deal with PDF files or flash information, or what regular student doesn't need PDF file or a flash video to complete their homework.
To sounds like Apple has serious issues to review, if they cannot rule the world of computing if their going to try to get always there way or there is no way. A lot for Steve Jobs to think about.
