Acer has always being one of the most favorite brands developing some highly classed Netbooks and Notebooks and the reliability of its products is another reason of people’s likings. We know that there is no laptop in the world which can replace the desktop gaming system but some companies have developed such laptops which have attempted to give high support to the game and the Notebook which I am going to review here is also the one by Acer which has aspire to reach the high class gaming system. The ‘Aspire 8940G-6865’ is the recently developed Notebook by Acer which features 18.4 inch display and it is aimed at bringing high class multimedia applications.
Windows 7
Windows 7 one of the latest products by Microsoft has not only taken the technological bounds of the company to new heights but it has also increased the net profit to almost double.

The profit in the net income is $6.66 billion which is about 60 % from the same period a year after. The results which have been revealed are even far above the expert’s expectations and it is really the best ever success earned by any product of Microsoft.
Along with Windows 7 the company also released Windows server 2008 R2 which also enjoyed a very modest increase with $3.8 billion in revenue, up from $3.75 in the previous year. According to the official reports almost 60 million licenses were sold in this quarter which is just more than extra ordinary.

This new feature is designed to help you to discover and search the content that is produced by those from your social circle, but it is necessary that everybody in the social circle buys that program.
The types of contents which you might discover from the members of your social circle are: websites, blogs, and other information related to their Google profiles, the status updates like tweets can also be searched and the images posted publically from your social circles can be previewed.
Google Voice
Google has released a new voice web application for the iPhones and the aim of the company which seems to appear behind this decision is to get the application on iPhone without the approval of Apple.

It has been reported that the company has delayed the approval of Google Voice as a native application for the Handset since July and this thing came to the whole world when Google claimed that Apple had rejected their application and Apple was saying that this application is still under review and since that time no decision has been made for this application.
Virgin Media
This week we have seen that BT had announced its new fiber optics based broadband service which will be available to almost 10 million homes by 2012 and they are investing £1.5 billion to roil out this project and virgin media who were already running a fiber optics based broadband responded towards this new project by saying that why consumers would want to wait for this service rather they are just required to come to the virgin platform.

The new announced of BT’s broadband could be seen as a threat to virgin media which operates a broadband service that is not very much similar to the fiber optics based system. The virgin broadband 50mbps service is in its release and according to the company’s claim the £19.99 package represents ‘a saving of £7.47 per month on Virgin Media’s XXL highest speed service’. But the chief threat to virgin media is that the BT’s project is available in January to some places and it will reach its target of 10 million homes by 2012.
