Mac App Store sold over millions of downloads
The new Mac app store during the launch yesterday, more than one million times. That makes Apple announced..The most downloaded paid app on the App Store was new Angry Birds. The social networking application Twitter was the most downloaded free app. The new Mac App Store launched Thursday with over 1000 apps in 21 different categories. “We are amazed by the incredible response that gets the Mac App Store,” said Apple CEO Steve Jobs.
“Developers have a great job for the apps in the store and get users to enjoy the convenience and pleasure in using the Mac App Store shows up.”
A Better Class of Apps:
One of the great things about iOS is that it brought many feature-focused, simple-to-use applications to market. Software maturity often brings software bloat, so you end up with sluggish software and tons of features you neither need nor want. While many of the initial offerings in the Mac App Store also exist on the Mac outside the App Store, you can see a hint of iOS apps making their way to the Mac platform. While some apps unquestionably require many features, and there is no paradigm in simplicity, the iOS-style of app will be a very useful addition to the Mac software ecosystem. I've been using Weet (Twitter client) and Reeder (RSS reader) on the Mac for a while now, and they both demonstrate how well simple and lightweight apps can work on the Mac. Too many features and slow performance is frustrating, so a little more iOS in our Mac apps is very welcome.
IE9 Hits 30 Million Downloads
As 2010 comes to an end, we wanted to take a look at the changes this last year in the IE world. At end of 2009, IE 6 and IE7 accounted for 38.51% of internet users, while IE8 had 24.15% of users worldwide. Fast forward twelve months later, IE6 and IE7 have shed over 40% of users and now only account for 22.98% of users worldwide – with IE6 hitting an all-time low of 13.81%. IE8 usage on the other hand has increased by almost 40% during the same time. Combined with the near half-percent of users of newly introduced IE9 Beta, the modern Internet Explorer browsers now account for 34.07% of users worldwide according to Net Applications.
Reset Root Ubuntu Password
Ubuntu is easy, most friendly and the most popular distribution which makes Linux really fun. I have been posting about how to reset windows administrator password and now here is a way to reset root password in Ubuntu. There is a way of resetting the root password via booting into rescue mode but this one is more smart and quick.
By default, you will need "sudo" (substitute user) privileges to install or change any system level programs or features due to security. This password will be the same as the password you had set when installing Ubuntu. Root is a different user with a default password, that's why when you do the "su" command and try and provide the root password, it never works. Okay the problem is that you can log on as a normal user, but not as root, because you do not know the root password.
Top 5 Misconceptions
5.Humans evolved from apes
Darwin didn't actually say this, but he's been misreported ever since. What he did say was that we, and apes, and chimpanzees for that matter, had a common ancestor, once, a long, long time ago.
4.Columbus believed the earth was flat
He may not have known how big the world was, but he wasn't worrying about falling off the edge of it.
