New screenshot shows Windows 8 with no start button
Since its development began, Windows 8 showed up in screenshots and leaked on torrent sites. Shortly after Microsoft itself has released a test version for developers. This weekend, however, appeared showing the new version catches Consumer Preview. And it comes with a twist: the absence of the start button.
The captures were obtained in PCBeta Chinese forum site and show a supposed Windows version 8 Consumer Preview 6.2.8220 Build 8220, which - by name - would be the version provided by Microsoft to end users. It may not be too drastic a change, but for a button that was there 15 years ago, I think it will be difficult getting used to.
The sources of The Verge site also confirmed that in place of the button should provide an area with thumbnails and it will be to assess the applications and shortcuts without discriminating whether what is interacting with this area is a mouse or a finger of a touchscreen to the touch.
The idea that Microsoft seems to be to further integrate the interface meter on your system. But as the changes in Windows Explorer, I hope there is an option to re-enable the button. For the sake of my sanity, because I think I'll always drag the mouse to the lower left corner of the screen and click, there is something there or not.

Android Market gets redesign
Whoever opened the Android Market today by the browser will find a page with a new design. Following the model currently used in the version store in smartphones, the Android Market Web is content to stand in squares, in the style of Windows Phone.
The new Market includes - also for the Brazilian market - the categories of music, books and movies. However, the presence of new multimedia content leaves us only with your mouth water: to buy them, you must address and U.S. credit card.
Following the line of the App Store, games and applications are now sold in U.S. dollars. This is a very controversial, given that it is forbidden to charge currency estrangeria in Brazilian territory. Anyway, the Market for smartphones continues to sell with price announced in Real.
Interestingly, with the redesign of the Web Market, comes yet another rumor about the arrival of the Android Instagram: in one picture taken of a Galaxy Tab by AndroidGuys, there is a propaganda Instagram for Android. But this was the only record, to the dismay of the hipsters, the link did not lead anywhere, and the search with the term "Instagram" only led to similar programs.

Spark: new tablet with KDE Plasma for Linux users
While the tablets whole scene revolves around the iPad and Androids, there has been little to say about their potential competitors, both for hardware and OS. Or they are born dead or not ... there.
Yes, WebOS was one of the most promising legends to ever win the mythical status of incredible promise, while the Playbook still serves as a laughing stock in any self-respecting geek pub.
ICS also "wheel" in HP Touchpad and almost no one laughed at that joke. Although the Cyanogen is a step of rotating the Playbook. The problem is that RIM is more proud that HP to burn it for $ 99 S Obamas. So do not chutemos dead dog, right? - So they say ...
Anyway, the scenery is vast and virtually unlimited fuel for the legion of Linuxers, heroes of the resistance to fight and swearing about how all the tablets are still imperfect.
In relying on a guy named Aaron Seigo, KDE developer, the world may also legitimately criticize a tablet Freeta ... I mean, the good old Linux base.
To be more specific, he announced on his blog a few days ago that the new toy runs on Plasma Active environment, a mobile version of KDE touch and developed especially for tablets.
The name of the candidate? Spark, a tablet with capacitive screen 7 "ARM CPU 1 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 4 GB of internal storage, with input for SD Card, Wi-Fi and a starting price of U.S. $ 262 (U.S. $ 453). If you have 3G? Do not force ...
Under the hood, the Spark runs Mer, a fork built on the MeeGo also beaseado on Linux. According to Seigo, everything is open source and the user can install and tweak whatever you want with the Spark. # Joinha
Plasma is a project that sought to make some modifications to the standard navigation scheme KDE 4.0. He has received his share of criticism, perhaps too much and probably because Shiites have been explored in projects for tablets and smartphones, such as Seigo, or those who do not admit that KDE is used with your fingers.
On the other hand, has received good attention by certain facilities that, when we consider a decent Linux running within a relatively inexpensive tablet, please. Do not expect that beauty iOS semi-deity, nor all logic and simplified distribution of Android.
