In CNET was interesting the note Asaya Matt (Matt Asay), which although not directly associated with Apple, but deserves attention. Matt says that we are now living in an era of transparency and the company's commitment to privacy is no longer justified. If you are interested in future products of large IT-companies, just to see enough of what they are currently working.
For example, Apple. There are rumors that the company is working on a tablet PC, but still keeps it a secret and does not allow comments. However, if we recall the updated full-sized virtual keyboard that appeared in Mac OS X Snow Leopard, everything becomes clear. The new operating system is ready for a new type of computer is composed of only one touch screen - larger than the iPhone, but smaller than any iMac or MacBook.
Or another example - Google. It is known that the search engine is developing an operating system Google Chrome OS. What will it be? This is not so important, because we already use its separate "components» - Gmail, Google Docs, Google Calendar.
It is interesting that Microsoft considers promising and where to wait for a new breakthrough? Read the documentation on the Azure platform or explore SharePoint. Then, most likely, you will agree that MS relies on the union and the cloud OS and server computing.
It may be that we should do less speculation (whether Apple will launch a new TV?), And just carefully examine what has been done today.
