At D9 today, Microsoft demoed Windows 8 for the first time. This next version of Windows blends the current Windows UI with Immersive UI. Immersive experience is Metro UI designed specially for Tablets and touch screens. Windows 8’s UI is designed to scale from small to large screens with or without touch support, keyboard or mouse. The immersive experience is much similar to the Metro UI in Windows Phone 7 but enhanced to be suitable for tablets and touch panels.

I wanted to try out iOS development on XCode 4 but I don’t own a Mac. I am a hardcore PC user and there is a way to run Mac OS X Snow Leopard on PCs so I tried it out. Mac OS X 10.6.2 worked fine after following full detailed tutorials around the internet (RedmondPie and LifeHacker have really good ones) but I needed Mac OS X 10.6.6 because it has the App Store and support for XCode 4. There is a combo update available on the official Apple site (and in software update inside Snow Leopard) that allows to update Mac OS X 10.6.2 from Mac OS X 10.6.6 so I updated but the Mac never booted again.

The text in the photo is recognized by Optical Character Recognition and is converted to an editable Google Docs document. The document appears in the list shortly after you take the photo.
