Once again, Microsoft has padded its revenue stream with an Android patent license deal. This time around, it’s Compal Electronics — another name you might not be familiar with, but it’s a very significant win for the crew in Redmond.

Like Wistron and Quanta, Compal produces devices for other companies — and they’re actually one of the top notebook manufacturers in the world. Compal recently announced that it was partnering with Lenovo to launch a joint manufacturing venture that would further strengthen its position as one of the industry leaders. They’ve also built devices for Dell, HP, Acer, and Toshiba.

In January of this year, Compal execs told the press that they expected to ship around 3.8 million Android tablets in 2011. With Microsoft’s deals typically running in the neighborhood of $5 per device, that’s a fair chunk of change headed back their way from Compal. The Compal deal is also noteworthy because it marks a big milestone for Microsoft: they have now secured licensing deals that cover more than 50% of all Android devices being produced — the Samsung, HTC, and Quantadeals you’ve read about previously helped them achieve that goal rather quickly.

It’s also worth noting that the deal covers Chrome OS hardware as well. Now that Compal, Wistron, and Quanta have signed on, it’s starting to look like Microsoft will be profiting from just about every mobile device powered by a Google-built OS. Microsoft is still hashing things out with Asus, whose manufacturing offshoot Pegatron it would no doubt like to lock up, and they’re also in the midst of litigation with another giant: Foxconn.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, the saying goes. As long as Microsoft can continue pocketing cash from Android OEMs, it’s going to do exactly that.

A new digital wristwatch called the Sparc MGS has been created by Ventura Watches which uses its own built-in motion micro-generator to provide it with the all power it needs to run its LCD display. Motion powered wristwatches have been around for some time, and only require the movement of your wrist to generate enough energy to keep the watch on time.

However the new Sparc MGS is is different to most as the motion is used to generate power for an LCD screen not just to power watch hands. This unique watch also has its own operating system, which will provide it with the possibility of new features to be added in the future.

Ventura Watches explain:

“The electric power gained from the owner’s wrist-movements is now able to sustain a state-of-the-art micro-processor and a 250-segments 12-digit liquid-crystal display. The latest operating system EasySkroll v.2.0 is now flash-programmed and allows later upgrades, a first in wristwatches. A single scroller operates all functions of SPARC MGS intuitively.”

As you would expect with any innovative watch the Sparc MGS comes with a price tag to match and is now available for $5,500. But if you are interested you will need to hurry as the black version is a limited edition and there are only two left available for purchase. But don’t worry there is also a silver version available which doesn’t seem to be limited edition and costs slightly less at $5,250.

One of the major challenges users face on the internet is insecurity. If you spend time researching on the internet about internet security issues, you may be amazed to notice that companies and individuals have loosed huge amount of money to hackers and scammers online. With the introduction of online dating sites and gambling sites, many people have actually been scammed – but this can be ascribed to dumbness on the part of the victims.

Hacking is always on the rise and people are paying high to make sure their important details are locked behind their brains. A single mishandling of things can cause a lot of troubles for an individual. Levity is actually one of the major problems of internet users. People tend to handle their email passwords, WordPress account details and the rest with levity – and the only time they’ll realize how important their details are is when they must have loosed it. 
Below, I’m sharing some tips that I probably have used to secure my discount coupon blog where I talk about weight watchers and bistro md with you.

Using a combination of numeric figures with alphabetical symbols as your password will make your details on the internet become more secured. While using generic terms of names to represent your passwords might seem convenient and easy to remember, it may also be a way of cheerfully leasing out your accounts for free. 
Make sure your passwords are strong enough to withstand brute force attack. While using a simple password for your personal and business accounts may look easy and fast to handle, it’s not safe.

Another great way to ensure you are well secured on the internet is by making sure your computer is guarded with a strong antivirus program that can keep viruses away from your computer. Don’t wait for an expert to tell you that your computer has been infected with viruses before you take the issue of installing an antivirus program on your computer seriously. 
Without an antivirus on your computer, you stand a higher risk of losing your confidential information to cyber criminals. A lot of them are on the lookout and when all they’ve tried seem fruitless, they’ll start sending viruses to their victims. 
After installing your antivirus program, make sure it’s always updated. You won’t love to see viruses roaming in your computer after you must have installed an antivirus program on your computer. Having an out-dated antivirus program is more or less like having none.

Make sure you always scan files on the internet before you download them on your computer’s hard disk. Many people have ignorantly invited viruses into their computer system just by downloading files from the internet without scanning them. 
If you are not sure of whom you are receiving an email from and it bears an attachment, make sure you avoid downloading the attachment. You may even need to scan attachments before you download them from the internet – it’s always the best to play safe.
