Mac OS X is 10th generation of Machintos operating system, after Mac OS 8 and Mac OS 9. So…. Why they called/named it Mac OS X not Mac OS 10 ? Because it a tradition for their company to brand their own product with “unix” base operating system name, like AIX, IRIX, Linux, Minix, Ultrix, Xenix).

On a Mac OS Extended volume, every file and folder has additional file attributes that are not immediately visible to the user. These attributes includes creation date, modification date, ownership, permissions, access control lists, Spotlight information, Finder labels, legacy file type information, file system flags. Some of attributes only can be accessed from the Get Info window of the Finder.

A resource fork was built in Macintosh operating system since long time ago; it used to simplify the user experience. Forked file system make complex items, such as applications, appear as a single icon, allowing multiple pieces of data to appear as a single item in the file system.

Google vs Apple

If any of your preferred applications was one of the last five years, it is likely that you have an iPhone or iPod Touch - applications developed for Apple's mobile platform will only work on mobile devices from Apple. And until now, most of Apple's best-selling applications known brands, social networks, game or novelty.

However, thanks to the property of Apple, vertical and exclusive way of doing business - that the iPhone very convenient store and Appendix highly accessible - the general public demand for mobile applications of all kinds is finally taking off. "As soon as the iPhone SDK (software development kit) was for the first time at July 2008." says John Lema, co-founder of ScrollMotion. "We realized that this would be a great opportunity for consumers and content providers, and dedicated our efforts to the development of platforms for the iPhone and similar devices. "

In particular, the upcoming Iceberg ScrollMotion Reader, the first application to partner with several major publishers of copyrighted books, agrees to make full use of the iPhone / iPod Touch as a fully functional e-book reading device.

"Apple has built an incredible SDK for the iPhone / iPod Touch" added Kayvon Beykpour, co-founder of Design Terriblyclever whose iStanford application provides a guide to living and working tool for students of Stanford. (The free application was downloaded more times than there are people registered in the Bay Area of California campus.)



"It's not just a recent phenomenon is the product of years of work that went into the platform from Cocoa NeXTStep days. This platform, along with the equally important distribution platform, make the iPhone / App Store-a murderer combo for developers, "said Kayvon.

Apple may have the winning hand, for now, but since then, Google's open source operating system was announced in November 2007, Android has been dragged from the shadows to challenge the dominance of Apple's market for mobile applications.

"Mobile devices are essentially small computers that are able to do much, however, carriers have turned off on purpose to benefit the companies," said evangelist and founder Phandroid Rob Jackson. "The 'garden' comes in the form of proprietary operating systems."

"Android, on the other hand, this is to allow users, knocking down the garden. The philosophy of Google, in particular, seems to be: Providing the best and most comprehensive service that can and possibly people love. .. and then monetize it. "Android is independent of the bearer. Android is manufacturer independent. And the more people who have Android, the more powerful it becomes," he said.

Google Mobile Maps Was Updated

SAN FRANCISCO - In an update to its mobile maps, Google Inc. hopes to demonstrate that you can keep track of people on the road as effectively as the search for information online.

The new software to be released Wednesday will allow people with mobile phones and other wireless devices to automatically share with his family and friends.

The feature, called Latitude, is developing an instrument created in 2007 to allow mobile phone users to check their location on a Google Map with the press of a button.

"This adds a social flavor to Google maps and makes it more fun," said Steve Lee, product manager for Google.

It could also enhance the protection of privacy, but Google is doing everything possible to avoid a backlash by requiring each user manually in the tracking software and make it easy to turn off or limit access to the service.

Google also promises not to retain any information about the movements of its users. Only the last one chosen by the tracking service are stored on Google computers, said Lee.

The software plots a user's location - marked by a picture on Google Map - based on cell phone towers, global positioning system or a Wi-Fi to deduce its location. The system can keep people travel in the United States and 26 other countries.

Is to let each user to decide who can monitor their location.

The social mapping approach is similar to a service already offered by Loopt Inc., a 3-year-old company located near Mountain View headquarters of Google.

Loopt's service is compatible with more than 100 types of mobile phones.

For starters, Google will work on the latitude Research In Motion Ltd. 's BlackBerry and devices running the Symbian software and Microsoft Corp.' s Windows Mobile. Also operate in some of T-Mobile phones running on the Android software from Google and finally work on Apple Inc. 's iPhone and iTouch.

To broaden the appeal of software, Google offers a version that can be installed on personal computers as well.

The PC access is designed for people who do not have a cell phone, but you may want to keep tabs on your children or someone special, said Lee. People who use the PC version can also be seen if they are connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi.

Google can trace the location of a person within a few meters when using the GPS, or it could be several miles away if it was relying on the transmission of cellular telephone towers. People who do not want to be more precise about his whereabouts can choose to show only the city instead of a specific neighborhood.

There are no current plans to sell all advertising with Google tracking service, although analysts believe the location of a person possibly trigger new market opportunities. Google has been investing heavily in the mobile market in the last two years in an attempt to make their services more useful to people when they are away from their home or office computer.
