kambo: accordg to d techncal law of programmg language entropy, a great , as in alexander d great industry shiftg , paradigmic , language comes out every 5 years . C was born in d age of forth, fortran , b, but it soon eclipsed those to bcome d next big thng (DNBT).
But veterans were slow to catch on.
To gain respect, c, had to b d language used in codg a significant application:a killer app.
This c did,it presented to d wrld the unix os.
C had earned its respect.
And hackers began flockg to it.
Next came c++ around d early 80s, a massive improvement over c. For large apps c++ was d goto language because it was less messy thn c while being equally fast.
C++ has been around 4 over 2 decades. It is credited 4 injectg d fear of programmg into many noobs.
Then,like a blast frm nowhere, java hit d tech wrld in its blindspot in d mid 90s. Approx 10 yrs after c++,
java rode d internet wave like a speed demon on horseback and and upset so many tables of thng-tearg thru programmg tradtions like a heartless tornado.
Java was like c++ with a kempt look,so many ppl who feared c++ cud relate with it..
Java was d darlg of d opera but she soon got fat, spawned many personalities (j2me,java ee, java card ) and bit off too much.
Microsoft,d populariser of c++, came out wth an evil twin to edge java out, c#..
Perl,python,ruby came for d sever side jugular, leavg java lumberg wth lil sever markt share.
But by d law of prog language decay, java and c# and c++ are has beens and are due for repatration to d junk yard of prgrammg history like old ww2 bombers.
Sure artifcts frm ths tools can still b maintained , much like buildgs erected decades ago are still primped up, bt in d hindsight of histry it isnt wise 4 newcomers to learn programmg usg decade old langs.
And i.t skuls shud begin phasg out ths langs frm their currclum.
Else theyll b makg students inest themselves in a sinkg ship..
Academia has provided faster sleeker theoretcally and philosophcally mor advanced languages but theyre adoption is slow cuz they lack d deep pockets to even keep them on the technical market shelves d way microsoft and oracle can continue shovg their past-the-expiry date soups in our face.
And employers are to defensive , wth their if-it-aint-broke-y-fix-it I.T strategy.
Newbies interested in programmg shud begin researchg new languages on d horizons not just jvm hoppers. But really innovatve stuff , and makg a staple of d historc and d new bleedg edge stuff for their learng investigation else they'll repeat d mistake old wrld fortran and cobol programmers mde in their day: fallg in luv with their hand saws thnkg thngs will always b tht way.
For ones career sake, it is pertinent tht one look, beynd popular tools to explorg prospectve new offerings..

Pls what will be the replacement?

This is more than a game console, this is home entertainment. I'm gonna buy this for sure.

Microsoft has revealed its new Xbox, the successor to the Xbox 360. It’s a next-generation console, with plenty of power under the hood, but it’s also clearly about consolidating your digital entertainment and operate as much more of a lifestyle device.

“Where all of your entertainment comes alive in one place,” is how Microsoft’s Don Mattrick put it on stage during his introduction. The entire event was prefaced with a description of the various types of non-game media that’s becoming popular with online streaming set-top boxes and mobile devices. “To continue to lead, we must provide compelling answers to new questions,” Mattrick said.
There’s a “Snap Mode” feature, too, which looks like the Microsoft Windows 8 experience, in that it allows you to run two activities simultaneously. So you can watch a movie and then also browse the Internet at the same time, for example, to look up elements of that film. You can even use Skype, newly introduced to Xbox with the Xbox One, and have that running in Snap Mode too.

The Snap Mode feature does something that has until now mostly been reserved for computers and for mobile and tablet devices: provides a second-screen experience that runs right alongside things like live TV. Adding basically a HUD layer to live TV might be the Xbox One’s biggest appeal for content providers who are looking for additional ways to engage audiences losing interest in traditional ads.

The new device interacts with a television, responds to voice and gesture commands, and includes Skype video calling, 15 exclusive game titles and original programming content.

The Xbox One will chiefly compete with Nintendo Co’s new Wii U and Sony Corp’s forthcoming PlayStation 4 for a bigger slice of the $65 billion-a-year computer game market.

Microsoft has taken the step to field a device that seems like it would be equally at home in either a hardcore gamer’s, or a non-player’s living room. That should help them deal with a changing gaming industry.

The Blackberry Z10 was the first smartphone to run on the enhanced Blackberry 10 OS. Though awesome in many regards, this phone didn’t win the heart of Blackberry fans who prefer the solid QWERTY keypad to its touch-screen keypad.

In a bid to satisfy users who would refuse to give up solid keypads, Blackberry has just announced the release of the Blackberry Q10 — the first Blackberry 10 phone with a physical keypad.
The Q10 runs on Blackberry 10.1, the first significant update of the Blackberry 10 OS. This updated version features a number of enhancements added specifically to support the phone’s physical keypad. For example, you can cut, copy, and paste phone numbers to and from the dialer screen. The Q10 also comes with added Instant Action shortcuts added to the home screen experience. This allows you to jump straight to your needed application or function rather than scroll endlessly.

The Q10 features a new dark theme, which gives a sexy appeal to the AMOLED touch-screen display. It also has a much improved battery life.

Although the phone doesn’t really look different from older blackberry phones, the Blackberry OS brings an entirely new feel and experience, as the platform runs amazingly smoothly.

Another badass feature of the Q10 is the amazing battery life. In fact, the 2100 mAhbattery is the best ever in a Blackberry phone (the Z10 battery is 1230 mAH, while the Bold 9900 is 1800 mAh). So, if you’ve been whining over the short battery life of your Blackberry, the Q10 will shut you up.

Available in black and white colors, the Q10 fits well in-hand, has a good weight, and offers top-notch sound quality.

Here are the full features and specifications of the Blackberry Q10:

Display: 3.1″ 720 x 720 AMOLED display (330 ppi)
Network: 3G, 4G
OS: Blackberry 10.1
Processor: 1.5 GHz
Memory: 2GB RAM, 16GB internal memory
Camera: 8MP primary camera, 2 MP secondary (front) camera
Connectivity: Bluetooth, WiFi, USB, GPS, LTE
Input: Full QWERTY keypad
Battery: 2100 mAh
The Pros

Classic design updated for the new Blackberry 10 OS
Awesome physical QWERTY keypad
Amazing battery (The best ever battery performance by a Blackberry phone
Dark them with a sexy appeal
Android applications installable (through side loads)
The Cons

Smaller display – due to physical keypad
Bottom line

If you’re a gaming or video freak who prefers a larger screen, the Z10 is your best option, no doubt. But if you’re a staunch lover of physical keypads, get the Q10.

The first quarter of 2013 saw Nokia ship more Lumia smartphones than any other quarter since it launched smartphones using Microsoft’s Windows Phone platform. Nokia shipped 5.6 million Lumia devices, up from 4.4 million in the final quarter of 2012. The Lumia growth is impressive considering the majority of the Windows Phone ecosystem has been dismal in comparison to its Apple and Android counterparts.
We tend to position the battle for number 3 as a clash between Nokia and BlackBerry. This, of course, is not necessarily true as Asian Android manufacturers like Huawei, ZTE and LG all ship more smartphones than either BlackBerry or Nokia. The notion is that one non-Android manufacturer will eventually rise above the heap to stake claim to the No. 3 spot behind Apple and Samsung - Nokia.
Both BlackBerry and Nokia are sitting on cash. Not an Apple-like horde of cash, but not an amount to dismiss either. Nokia’s net cash at the end of the quarter was $5.87 billion while BlackBerry is just short of $3 billion. With both companies running leaner coming out of 2012, those cash reserves should give both companies runway to create new products and marketing campaigns to push their devices and effectively compete in the global smartphone market

A Great phone to use, why spend so much money on Galaxy S3.

Excitement greeted news that Vérone Mankou, the 26-year old entrepreneur from the Republic of Congo, has designed Africa’s first smartphone and a tablet, the hand-held computer that comes with a touch screen.
Mankou’s tech company, VMK, designed the sleek smartphone and tablet, which was originally conceived in 2006 as an affordable computer to give Africans access to Internet. The devices run on Google’s Android software and are assembled in China, making some technology analysts question Mr. Mankou’s assertion that these were the first African touchpad tablet and smartphone. In response to such criticism, Mr. Mankou writes on his website, “We are somewhat offended by the disregard of those who persist in denying the authentication of our products, despite evidence.”
