Introduction

Meaning of open source software , hardware , software

Open source software : An open source (OS) operating system is a set of programs that schedule
tasks, allocates storage and presents a default interface to the user between applications. But this OS is free, user have the right to use, modify and redistribute the software for better interoperability.

1.0 Introduction Open source is an approach to the design, development, and distribution of software, offering practical accessibility to a softwares source code. Some consider open source as one of various possible design approaches, while others consider it a critical strategic element of their operations. Before open source became widely adopted, developers and producers used a variety of phrases to describe the concept; the term open source gained popularity with the rise of the Internet, which provided access to diverse production models, communication paths, and interactive communities.Software is a general term for the various kinds of programs used to operate computers and related devices. Hardware is the physical aspect of computer, telecommunications, and other device. 2.0 The Latest Open Source Operating System 2.1 Meaning Of Open Source OS Open source operating system is defined as an interface between hardware and user; it is responsible for the management and coordination of activities and the sharing of the limited resources of the computer which system acts as a host for applications that are run on the machine where is an approach to the design, development, and distribution of software, offering practical accessibility to a softwares source code. 2.2 Example Of Open Source OS Example of latest open source OS is Linux is a generic term referring to Unix-like computer operating systems based on the Linux kernel. Their development is one of the most prominent examples of free and open source software collaboration; typically all the underlying source code can be used, freely modified, and redistributed by anyone under the terms of the GNU GPL and other free licenses. The latest stable release in Kernel 2.6.29.4 on 20 May 2009. Another example of latest unstable release in Kernel 2.6.30-rc7 on 23 May 2009. Tux, the penguin is mascot of the Linux Kernel. It comes from Unixlike in OS family and in type of Monolithic Kernel. Linux 2.6.30-rc7 kernel brings a late driver to the kernel for the Cisco PCI-Express FCoE HBA SCSI adapter and besides that the rest of the fixes are small changes. The second example of open source operating system is Ubuntu. Ubuntu is a free Debian-derived computer operating system based on GNU/Linux. Ubuntus goals include providing an up-to-date, stable operating system for the average user, with a strong focus on usability and ease-of-installation. Ubuntu has been selected by readers of desktoplinux.com as the most popular Linux distribution for the desktop, claiming approximately 30% of their desktop installation in both 2006 and 2007.

3.0 The Latest Open Source Application Software 3.1 Meaning Of Open Source Application Software Open source application software can defined as the general designation of computer programs for performing user tasks where is an approach to the design, development, and distribution of software, offering practical accessibility to a softwares source code. 3.2 Example Of Open Source Application Software Examples of the latest application software are Ares in version 2.1.1 and release on 23 Jan 2009. Ares is a free open source file sharing program that enables users to share any digital file including images, audio, video, software, documents, etc. You may now easily publish your files through the Ares peer to peer network. As a member of the virtual community, you can search and download just about any file shared by other users. Latest versions support BitTorrent protocol and Shoutcast radio stations. With Ares you can also join chat rooms or host your channel and meet new friends. Another examples of the latest application software is Mozilla Firefox in version 3.0.10, release on 27 April 2009. Mozilla Firefox is a free web browser descended from the Mozilla Application Suite and managed by Mozilla Corporation. Firefox had 22.48% of the recorded usage share of web browsers as of April 2009, making it the second most popular browser in terms of current use worldwide, after Internet Explorer. 4.0 The Latest Development in ICT 4.1 Hardware There are the latest development in ICT in hardware, Wireless Keyboard 3000. Wireless Keyboard 300 have 2.4 GHz wireless technology which confident connection out of the box and with up to a 45-foot range. Beside that, it also have quiet-touch keys which quiet, responsive, and thin-profile keys.It is available with soft-touch palm rest which has some benefits like we will get better comfortable which support when we type with the plush, integrated palm rest. Its spill-resistant design is integrated water channels drain the liquid away. It also has media center which can control media playback from our keyboard. Some hot key that it have are one-touch access to Windows Media Player, e-mail, Home, calculator, My Documents, zoom instant massaging and photos. Compare with Wired Desktop 600, this keyboard have media center with four hot keys to let we control the most-used media activities like play house, volume up, volume down, and mute. Beside that, it also have calculator hot keys which has a function to quickly access the calculator if we touch its button. Its spill-resistant design is use to enjoy a drink while we work. This keyboard is designed to withstand an accidentall spill. We can press to launch our Start menu and search our PC or the Web if we have Windows Vista installed. No software are needed in plug and play. We just connect the keyboard to our PC and go! Its optical technology is navistigate with better speed, accuracy and realibility. The optical sensor tracks movement on nearly any surface without the hassle of clogged mouse parts. 4.2 Software The example of open source application software is GNOME 2.26 is the latest version of the GNOME Desktop, a popular, multi-platform desktop environment for your computer. GNOME focus is easy to use, stability, and first class internasionalisation and accessibility support. GNOME is free and open source software and provides all of the common tools computer users expect of a modern computing environment, such as e-mail, groupware, web browsing, file management, multimedia, and games. Furthermore, GNOME provides a flexible and powerful platform for software developers, both on the desktop and in mobile application.

The GNOME desktop is released every six month and contains many new features, improvement, bug fixes, and translations. GNOME 2.26 continues this tradition. To learn more about GNOME and the qualities that distinguish it from other computer desktop environments (such as usability, accessibility, internationalization, and freedom) visit the about GNOME page on our website. Join us today and see what a difference that you can make. GNOME 2.26 includes all of the improvements made in GNOME 2.24 and earlier. You can learn about the changes that happened in GNOME 2.24 from its release notes. 5.0 Pervasive Computing 5.1 Meaning Of Pervasive Computing Pervasive computing is refers to the use of computers in everyday life, including PDAs, smartphones and other mobile devices. It also refers to computers contained in commonplace objects such as cars and appliances and implies that people are unaware of their presence. One of the Holy Grails of this environment is that all these devices communicate with each other over wireless networks without any interaction required by the users. The two examples of the pervasive computing are Nokia E51 and Nokia E55. 5.2 Examples of Pervasive Computing The Nokia E51 is a GSM/WCDMA dual mode hand portable phone supporting EGSM 850/900/1800/1900, WCDMA 850/2100, HSDPA, WLAN, and VoIP.
