Microsoft Targets Tablet Market Microsoft missed a couple of beats as professionals and consumers began to spend more time on tablets and smartphones to work and socialise. With Windows 8, Microsoft aims at regaining the ground it has lost to Apple. According to Gartner, sales of touch tablets will grow nearly four times, to 69.8 per cent this year. Apple’s iPad has consistently dominated the tablet market, with competitors coming and leaving the market without affecting its growth. But it’s time the world got an alternative to iPad. If Microsoft can take a significant bite of the fast growing tablet market, it will boost the company’s profit as well. Windows is a huge force in the operating system market. The company enjoys a market share of 90 per cent for desktop operating systems. When Windows 8 will work with tablets, people will want a device running on a Windows operating system. Several vendors are lining up for the support of the Windows 8 tablet, with Samsung and Dell bringing it to the market. The price will be driven by the hardware specs of the tablet. Different vendors will create rival tablets to drive the competition in terms of specs and prices. Apple has made it difficult for the vendors to buy the hardware needed to make tablets in a large volume.

Is That Review a Fake?

Deceptive reviews on the Web can be very hard even for experts to identify as fake. A team of researchers at Cornell University has been developing sophisticated automated methods to detect them, based on analysis of the text. Here are some of the features that their algorithm looks for, using this example of a fake hotel review.

Hotel and city names were less common in truthful reviews, which focus more on details about the hotel itself, like “small” or “bathroom”.

“Very” and “really” are both used twice; “here” is used once.
High verb use
“Get”, “go”, “use”, “can’t”, “didn’t”, “eating”, “had”, “looking”, “stayed”, “was” (three times), “were”.
Use of “!” and positive emotion
Deceptive reviews tend to use exclamation points, while truthful reviews used more punctuation of other kinds, including “$”.

Mitsuharu Taniyama cools off in front of a fan, that some companies have forbidden employees to use, as he dims the lights at his insurance business to conserve electricity.
“Local governments are holding contests soliciting conservation ideas; households are cutting back beyond the hours during which conservation is in effect, from 9 am to 8 pm.”

Vacheron Constantin’s unique Métiers d’Art ‘Chagall & l’Opéra de Paris’ series consists of 15 watches. The watch dials feature the art of Grand Feu enamel painting, based on a centuries-old Geneva technique that has remained the exclusive preserve of a handful of artisans.
