The news came after Microsoft announced that they will no longer offer support for Windows XP Service Pack 2, which makes users want to migrate to SP3. Also, Microsoft announced the prolonging of the download period from Windows XP to Vista until 2020.

What is, however, the reason for which companies do not migrate to Windows 7? The lack of funds, the fact that employees have gotten used to using Windows XP? Or they are waiting for the release of Service Pack 1 to get better security ?

From Twitter clients to the famous AdBlock, there are many extensions that makes our lives much easier. So, a few days ago Mozilla announced that 2 billion extensions were downloaded since their appearance. A pretty important number we might say.

Currently, Mozilla is working on the forth version of the Firefox web browser, which will be a major update, especially in what HTML 5 support is concerned.

And subscription packages with “unlimited text messages” has made them to be number 1 in teenagers choice to communicate.

Before the appearance of social networks, who are very popular nowadays, text messages was one of the most handy way to send short messages.

Nici macar odata cu aparitia smartphone-urilor , SMS-urile nu si-au pierdut din popularitate.

Not even the appearance of smart phones have made text messages less popular.

Those who do this are tricked to accept the access of an application to their profile page, which will then send spam messages and will try to convince you to fill in a web form.

The “Dislike” scam was thought to be the opposite of the “Like” button, for users that want to express their negative opinions about posts, links and uploads.

But, according to Internet security companies, if you allow that application to run, it will update your status by posting the link that tricked you and it will spread to your friends or online contacts.

Eventually you will be redirected to a Firefox addon, where, allegedly you will find the Dislike button.

It looks like Facebook manages to become more and more the target of these types of attacks, offering hackers the possibility of exploiting the system vulnerabilities.

Still, Internet Explorer remains one of the most popular web browsers in the world.

The fist Internet Explorer version made it’s debut on August 16, 1995 and it was based on Mozaic, a web browser which Microsoft licensed from a company named SpyGlass, Inc.

Starting with the 3.0 version, Microsoft started to include Internet Explorer in Windows Distributions, increasing the browser’s market share significantly and this way managing to completely remove the domination of the Netscape Navigator browser.

However, the popularity of Internet Explorer started to decrease with the appearance of Firefox, in 2004, mainly because Internet Explorer 6 had a lot of security bugs.

After 2 years of negligence, Microsoft started to work hard on Internet Explore and the 7h version was released with significant improvements compared to the previous one. Internet Explorer 7 received many security improvements but also usability ones.

According to the latest information provided by research companies, Internet Explorer has a 60.74% market share, followed by Firefox which has 23.75%, Chrome, Safari, Opera and others.

Currently, Microsoft is getting ready to release another chapter in the history of Internet Explorer: The IE 9 version. The first beta version of the browser is scheduled to be released on September 15, during an event in San Francisco.

Internet Explorer is one of the most important Microsoft products, so we can’t hardly wait to see what they got in store for us next.

Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle said that Java is the only and most important software they ever purchased.

Java is currently being used in writing the majority of applications for companies all over the world. Computer manufacturers and mobile phones manufacturers are paying money in order to use this software.

However Google is not paying at all. It’s not a secret the fact that Dalvik and Android are based on Java, however Oracle is not happy at all with this situation.

Oracle said that they are going to sue Google because they violated their copyright and patents. Oracle says that Android is breaching 7 Oracle patents and that Google contains copies of the original Java code.

Eric Schmidt worked for Sun, being the Java team leader, and he now works for Google. Oracle said that Google knew about these problems for almost 5 years now.

The Gartner Research Company released their predictions regarding smart phones operating systems, and Android is placed on the second place, right after Research in Motion, with a 17.2% global market share.

Symbian is still on the first place, with 41.2% market share.

RIM should start to worry for their 18.2% they own. The evolution of Android is very remarkable, especially if we consider the fact that 1 year ago Android only had 1.8% market share.

The problem appeared in January, when Google announced that they will remove the censorship that the Chinese Government demanded. After 2 months, other news came from the company which announced that they will close their operations in China. In all this time, Google redirected the google.cn visitors to the search page located on Hong Kong, where the search results were displayed without censorship.

Recently, the company removed this automatic redirect, in the hope that the Chinese Government will renew their license. This has happened and Google promised to offer to all the users the possibility to filter search results.
