You know, for a company that holds just a small percentage of the electronics industry market share (from 11%-17% depending on who you ask) Apple sure gets a lot of attention. And who can resist listening when Apple talks? Personally, I don't own a single Apple product so I have no dog in this fight, but I can help but pay attention when Apple starts to make announcements on future products.

Remember this? I think the new products
are a wee bit more advanced.
(wikipedia.com)

At the 2012 WWDC (World Wide Developer's Conference), Apple has started to release the first post-Steve Jobs products. Undoubtedly, these products were set before the passing of Apple's legendary leader, so this is the consumer's chance to see what's coming for the next 12 months and what they might find under the tree in December.

The list is a little long for complete coverage, but here's some things you can expect from the conference:

• A new MacBook pro, updated with speedier processors and more oomph, including the ability to use USB 3.0 (lightning quick data transfers)
• Retina displays on some computers (as an option or standard? Not sure) 
• A new iPhone and/or iPod? (probably not, but...) 

Engadget has complete coverage details and posts breaking news as it happens. Go over to their site now for analysis and insight into Apple's latest offerings and, who knows? I might just ask Santa for a new Apple gizmo this Christmas.

Windows rules the world.

Despite the huge (and loud) Apple fanbase, the fact remains that the Microsoft Windows operating system is the predominate computer system by a factor of 10 or more. Since the 1980's, the majority of the world's computers run on the system begun by Bill Gates and a few others in a small storefront in Albuquerque, New Mexico decades ago.

Windows Phone 7 with
a look towards the future.
(pcmag.com)

And as each new version of Windows emerges for the consuming public, new methods of computing and the human/machine interface gets a little bit better each time. Until recently, changes were evolutionary- a little bit better each time, but still recognizable as the same ol' Windows- just a bit more grown up.

Not this time though. For 2012, Microsoft is debuting a brand new system called Windows 8 with some deeply interesting elements sure to catch the eye of Windows lovers all over the world. If you've seen the Microsoft smart phone operating system Windows Phone 7, you get the idea. Tiles on the home screen are "alive" with information like e-mails, weather, Facebook postings, sports scores, etc.

Looks different, doesn't it?
(Microsoft)

Much of what gives Windows 8 its unique appearance is what gives Windows Phone 7 its appearance and that's on purpose. The thinking is, if you become used to the W8 system, then you'll be more likely to see the WP7 system as comfortable, familiar and you'll be more likely to buy one or the other due to this familiarity. I don't pretend to understand this approach, but Microsoft seems to believe the concept has merit.

No release date is available but it's almost sure to be in the 4th quarter of this year. For those of you who still have questions, PCWorld.com has the answers to some of the more common queries users have been asking. But, if we all wait just a couple of months, all of our questions will be answered when the systems premieres. Click here to see if your question was answered. 

By the way, work has already begun on Windows 9. Some would call that too soon.

I call it job security.

washing. Tires should be clean, too. Even if they are made to be in constant contact with dirt and debris that were dumped along the roads, which must always be well served. Wash the wheels when washing the rest of your car also allows you to detect problems such as low air pressure or a nail, before they become major problems.

Keep the air properly inflated. Each character produces tires to perform at an optimal level filled with a certain amount of air. You can find out quickly over the Internet or a mechanic, what the right amount of air. When measuring economic tool and quarters, visits the station to reach the right pressure will extend the tires of the car and increase gas mileage.

Do not litter. When driving, it is important to pay attention to what you're driving over. Busted glass, nails, wood, pieces of metal and other debris can wreak havoc on all the tires blowing out causing a small hole, which is slowly released into the air. Both effects are expensive to repair, but the blow can cause an accident, causing serious injury. Instead of trucking through whatever may be the way, play it safe and try to work around road debris.

Perform regular maintenance. Rotating and balancing your tires may seem like a gadget that changes in oil companies use to squeeze a little more money from his pocket, but in reality they are important for the life of your tires. With these services, you can then distribute the wear of the road and improve the handling of your car.

If you are British, Aston Martin is about the only sports car manufacturer that has not been engulfed by an international conglomerate - even if it was some years ago. You could say that McLaren are viable for the title, but only have the incredible MP4-12C in its model line, so for now, the Aston wearing the crown.

This is not all rosy in the garden, though. Aston Martin has a problem, and oddly enough, it has to do with its design principles. All major manufacturers have a "design-face", meaning that all the cars in their portfolio look different, but just the same. It helps consumers identify the mark on the road and therefore in theory, increase sales. Aston does this, but all ridiculous new level. One can not deny the DB9 is one of the finest design supercar ever made. When he was released in 2003, startled the world and millions of hormonal teenagers quickly forgotten Cheryl Cole and began to consider a new type of tickle DB9 -. It marked the first car good "new" and "modern" Aston, and absolutely no objection.

Then came the V8 Vantage ago, it looked as aggressive as the wart hog, as fast as Linford Christie is a pair of slippers and luxury such as Buckingham Palace - but more important, it was virtually the same as the DB9. We let them all out, even if, like the V8 Vantage was considerably cheaper than its big brother, the GT, which meant the Aston way of life can be purchased and 911 money.
So at this point, everything goes perfectly. We all have a blast; Aston make big profits, the cars look good and the satisfaction of all. And then came the DBS. Do not Get It Twisted, DBS is probably one of the most sorted engines available, but the fact is that it looks like a DB9, which has been hanging out with junkies too many steroids. It is beautiful, but it costs £ 170 000 and what you get? A few more horses and some hood vents. Fan-bloody-tastic.

Aston needs a big car, something that would blow the socks off nearly every superlative supercar on the planet. Something that makes the 510bhp DBS as a Rover Metro station. The answer was the One-77.

First, and most importantly, looked different. Of course, the face is still there, but it seems that Aston bother to modify the original design of their previous efforts. The One-77 is as brutal as the left hook by Tyson, delicate like a burnt sausage and suspensory men Brock Lesnar. Much better!

But the question remains: is the One-77 supercar, the new father? Well, here are the technical information that will help us reach that decision. One-77 is named as such because only 77 examples will never be done. It is therefore much less than the Ferrari Enzo, Bugatti Veyron and McLaren F1. It will cost the lucky buyer will stunt £ 1.3 million and a 7.3 liter V12 naturally aspirated with a monstrous 750bhp.

It was one of the most mysterious cars ever made. We heard little performance, price and technical details than just a few months ago, but since they were released, we were immediately aroused. The wait was worth it.

So how do handle it? Well, nobody knows. The One-77 has not been tested by a major magazine or television and only a few people had the opportunity to take a walk. Be speculative, however, it seems that he drives as well as any supercar before. With a curb weight of 1,500 kg and a power of more than 700bhp, the One-77 could become a new icon in the world of speed and super.

It will not be the super new dad, but thanks to the Bugatti Veyron. No cars today can match the speed of 1100bhp Veyron Super Sport, 260 + miles per hour and £ 2,000,000 over price. The Veyron is the undisputed king of the road, but as the One-77 may not achieve its objective, is always the most notable effort to date Aston.
