Android is frequently updated, and new releases of the Android OS are typically released as often as twice or thrice in a year. Each such release or version is given a name. Google follows an alphabetical order when naming the new versions, but it makes it more fun by naming these after confectionery food items!.
Even though the names are fun, that does not mean that the releases themselves are just fun. Each new version of Android comes with more efficient features and bug fixes that make smartphones and tablets more usable than ever.

Android is an operating system from Google. It was primarily designed for mobile phones but has since been enhanced to work with phablets, tablets, and more devices.
In many ways, it is quite similar to iOS, Symbian, Windows Phone and Blackberry OS. There are differences too since Android is based on Linux, a free cross-platform core operating system.

Before you install Mac OS X Lion, take a moment to check if all applications on your computer are compatible with the new OS. The reason why you need to do so is that Lion no longer supports Rosetta. Rosetta is the underlying technology built into Mac OS X that allowed older Mac applications written for the PowerPC platform to run seamlessly on Mac OS X. In fact, Rosetta worked so seamlessly that many of us did not even realize it was running behind the scenes.

Once you click the Start Installation button within Boot Camp Assistant, it is assumed that your Windows install disc is in your optical drive, either a drive on your system or an external drive. Thereafter your Mac will reboot, and start off the Windows install disc to begin installing Microsoft Windows to your newly created Boot Camp partition.
If all goes fine, then that’s great. But if you see an error; maybe there is an error reading your disc or some communication error. First, ascertain that you are indeed stuck and cannot proceed. Then hold the Power button on your Mac to shut down the computer. Thereafter, hold the Option (Alt) key while you restart your computer. Most probably you will see a menu with a single option that lets you boot to your Mac OS. Choose this option and boot into your Mac OS X partition.

Boot Camp is a technology built into Intel chip-based Macs that allows you to create a separate partition on your Mac OS hard disk that can run Microsoft Windows. This separate partition is created from within the existing Mac OS hard disk without deleting any of your existing Mac data — it goes without saying that you need plenty of hard disk space to create a Boot Camp partition.

This is a really cool idea. You can create your own quick picture of Albert Einstein teaching a class and writing something with chalk on a blackboard. You just type in your text, and pronto, the picture gets created, and it does look quite authentic–although not authentic enough to stand witness but good enough to bring a few laughs!
