Windows On ARM
Microsoft has caused a small earthquake when it announced that Windows 8 will
be offered in a version compatible with ARM processors. Actually it's not the
first time that Windows leaves the preserve of the x86 assembly: Windows NT has
been proposed among other platforms Alpha, MIPS, PowerPC, and already in his
time on ARM and Windows CE MIPS and ARM. However this is the first time that
the "standard" version of Windows ventured outside the box of x86.

Microsoft Office for iPad shows [Update x3]
The Daily produces a picture of what it presents as the adaptation of Microsoft
Office for the iPad. There is only entitled to the home screen with three buttons linking to Word,
Excel and PowerPoint.
However the website claims to have used a prototype
briefly after IOS. It has an interface similar to the OneNote application
already offered on the App Store with some accents of the interface Metro.
It
can be used to create and edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint locally and online.

The iPad - a tablet of miracle
Since the marketing of the iPad, analysts are scratching their heads to bring the
miracle tablet in their accounts. The iPad has to weigh it in the market share
of computers? Tablet PC? Is there a separate category ("media
tablet")? Is it different from a desktop or laptop? With 5.2 million Macs and 15.43 million iPad sold on its last quarter record,
Apple is by far the world's largest manufacturer of computers if the tablets
were not aloof (Gartner estimates that HP has elapsed 14.7 million PCs in the
last quarter).
There is the "scientific" definition of the computer, and the meaning we will actually use. There was a time when the lack of removable media (floppy disk, optical disk or other) was sufficient to disqualify the unit.

Mac sales
Apple sold 5,198,000 Mac over the holidays, just beating analysts' estimates
(5.14 million).
The MacBook confirm their good form despite the absence of
news: it took 3.719 million laptops (+ 2.85% compared to Q4 2011 / + 27.93% vs.
Q1 2011) against 1.479 million Mac office (+ 15.73% compared to Q4 2011 / +
20.54% vs. Q1 2011).
There is renewed talk of numbers record. The figures are
timely to celebrate the anniversary of the Macintosh, introduced January 24,
1984.

Author iBooks, heir to HyperCard
The new edition iBooks have a little deja vu. They have a lot to remember the
CD-ROM encyclopedia and the cultural heyday of multimedia.
Killed by Internet, multimedia CD-ROM launched an entire industry that will really lived a short decade. Encyclopedias such as Encarta, but also more or less specialized titles such as the Louvre or The Anatomy Lesson, or true UFOs as Xplora and Eve by Peter Gabriel, or The Book of Lulu Roman Victor Pujebet: these to digital works that were the "good book" were editing.

Test of Author iBooks
Kind of mixture between Pages (€ 15.99), Keynote (€ 15.99), and iWeb, Author
iBooks) is a new application designed to create books electronic interactive
WYSIWYG. Is it as easy to use as Apple claims? Does it really create rich,
interactive books? If it is powerful, but free, there is something to hide? The
response in our test! Case study: creating a "history of Apple"
With OS X Lion: first steps and iOS 5: first steps, we had the opportunity to lay out several digital books. To do this, we used conventional tools: writing XHTML code in an editor, assembled in Sigil, with ePub Validation Check and Book Proofer, submission to iTunes Producer.

Overview of iBooks Author - II
Once
obtained the desired result, Author iBooks can test it before publishing it. For
this, the application does not use the simulator for the iPad, but an iPad. A
"Preview" button to generate a version and open it directly on the
tablet from Apple.
Good idea but the implementation is quite restrictive since it is necessary not only to connect the iPad Mac with a USB cable, but leave open the terminal iBooks. IBooks you can add it to iTunes and sync with other iPad. It will also create a PDF file, which is convenient because universal, but much more limited in terms of interactivity. Author iBooks can also change the look of the book in both directions.

Author iBooks is
Apple's solution to quickly and easily interactive textbooks. What is the
solution in practice? If you know of Pages (€ 15.99) or Keynote (€ 15.99), you will not be
disoriented by opening the application for the first time. Apple did not just
draw inspiration from its iWork to create iBooks Author: the new application is
based on the suite Apple. From the opening, there is the traditional list of
models. Apple offers only six, but six very different with specific guidance. Feel
free to adapt them to your needs and possibly create your own templates. Legacy

sections, and all options for changing the text are also meeting both you say,
it was almost free with a Pages last application for Apple Mac.

"Inside Apple" culture of secrecy in Cupertino
A few anecdotes about the secrecy introduced at Apple have been published by
the author of "Inside Apple" on sale next week.
Adam Lashinsky discusses some original practices, such as when any new project starts, and others who may ring familiar to some readers as working in companies governed by strict rules of confidentiality.
The author, who has met with former Apple employees, for example, says that some have seen a sudden one day be erected walls to their floor and doors put "windows were pacified and some pieces had none”. New access rules are enacted, and nothing enters or leaves the room without good reason. A rule of silence that covers course and especially outside the workplace. Friends and family are also kept in the dark. Phill Schiller, the head of marketing, said subject themselves to the discipline with his children while Apple was working on his future gadgets.

PC: the decline is accelerating
There was a time not so long ago when the holiday season alone was able to
revive PC sales. But the personal computer is becoming increasingly rare in the
hood of Santa Claus. Result, PC sales have stagnated in the fourth quarter. Exactly,
they were down 0.17%. The PC head in the bucket since the second quarter and
this trend seems heavy. A year finally sign the decline of this unit has taken
a hit since the democratization of old tablets and smartphones.

WWDC Alerts: not to miss the train of WWDC
Victim of its success! Last year, the 5,000 tickets for the Apple Developers
Conference (WWDC) were gone in 10 hours .
The program with both iOS 5 and OS X Lion was particularly attractive indeed.
Nevertheless, it illustrates the growing success of Apple solutions to developers. In passing, we recall that the ticket costs just over € 1000. To this, add one round trip to San Francisco and accommodation costs.

Anonymous Support ToTthe Action Of eBizcuss
Two Apple Premium Resellers have confided anonymously to ChannelWeb on their
relationship with Apple. Of anonymous witnesses who are going in the right line
of the situation in which the group has publicly eBizcuss after Christmas and
has led to an application for interim relief.
One of the APR, a European, details some opposition made by Apple for its activity and that of its peers. For example, the products most in demand during a period (iPad, MacBook Air) are not available for resellers like him while Apple and its partners in the mass distribution are properly delivered.

2012: Challenges for Apple
2011 was good for Apple financially. A figure attests to its success: its
annual sales in 2011 (ended in late September), amounting to 108 billion
dollars. The Cupertino
company is now a relatively small club of companies that make over $ 100
billion of turnover.
Unquestionable financial success, but paradoxically one year fairly quiet in terms of news products. Not true major innovations as was the case in 2010, for example with the iPad. But we can not do the "revolution" .2011 was especially synonymous with renewal software with OS X Lion and iOS 5, and a new beginning in terms of services or with icloud Siri. A "renewal program" challenged, because if iOS 5 is a major release if only because it releases the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch from the tutelage of Mac and PC, OS X Lion is without Apple probably the animal that makes the unanimously least for some time.
