Wordpress is easy to use for those people which have no sense how to design website and that is why it has become world's top rated website script but question is about its efficiency and popularity when it is compared with blogger. No doubt wordpress is safer to use, less subjected to scam attacks, proper ssl certificates and thousands of live plugins and themes which made it heaven for web developers but blogger is world's oldest blogging platform which have around 1.5 million live blogs and millions of users and visitors. Blogger is listed on all search engines quite easily as compared to Wordpress but Wordpress have grasped new users of blogger into its hands and we can see that thousands of people are migrating from Blogger to Wordpress.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wordpress premium blogging features are available for 99$ but Blogger provide these features free of cost. Wordpress needs slight coding to make blog live on internet but no coding is required in Blogger. Blogger have little custom premium graphics templates but thousands of themes are available for blogger. Wordpress has to compete to get ads for its users on Adsense but Blogger has integrated Adsense feature. Wordpress provide custom domain for 18$ but same domain is easily available in 9$ for blogger. Wordpress is not easily submitted to search engines and directories but Blogger is only at one click away from getting submitted in Google. There are thousands of websites which sale Wordpress themes, Plugins and SSl certificates but only few are available for Blogger users. so, we can not compare them generally but some salient features of Blogger are advanced and graphics of Wordpress are premium. because these are of two different categories and purposes and can not be compared generally in same sense.</div>

We thus revere the high-tech chops of the geeks that run our technology corporations, the terribly plan of Associate in Nursing outsider like Ford chief operating officer Alan Mulallyas challenger to require the helm at Microsoft (MSFT) looks nearly blasphemous. however you recognize it’s been done before.<br />
<br />
Apple (AAPL) recruited John Sculley from PepsiCo (PEP) in 1983. United Nations agency will forget Steve Jobs’ legendary pitch: “Do wish|you would like|you wish} to sell sugary water for the remainder of your life? Or does one want to come back with Maine and alter the world?” sadly, that didn’t estimate thus well.<br />
<br />
While Apple’s sales grew denary beneath Sculley, he was ousted in 1993 amidst declining profits and flattening revenues. On the flipside, that very same year brought Lou Gerstner to IBM (IBM) wherever the previous RJR Nabisco and yankee categorical (AXP) govt designed one amongst the foremost undefeated turnarounds in history.<br />
<br />
Those 2 examples alone drive home the purpose that, once it involves transferral in Associate in Nursing outsider to run a technology company, the tip result's for the most part a operate of however well the individual’s talents match up with the company’s scenario and desires.<br />
<br />
While no one features a globe and this type of factor is notoriously exhausting to predict, I happen to suppose Mulally is that the best option to exchange the package giant’s long-time chief operating officer, Steve Ballmer.<br />
<br />
For one factor, Mulally is not any light-weight once it involves engineering, technology, and merchandise development. The guy has 2 engineering degrees and spent thirty seven years running engineering and, ultimately, the industrial heavier-than-air craft division at Boeing.<br />
<br />
More significantly, his exceptional transformation of Ford (F) provides a superb blueprint for what Microsoft desires. That’s as a result of Microsoft’s biggest challenge is that the huge size and complexness of its businesses and organization. <br />
<br />
Imagine if you had a billion customers. You can’t imagine that? i do know, neither am i able to. That, during a shell, is Microsoft’s downside. Its primary business of non-public laptop in operation systems and application package counts a large chunk of all the businesses and people on the world as customers.<br />
<br />
Now add game consoles, smartphones, tablets, net search and advertising, cloud computing, home diversion, and Skype, and what does one have? a corporation with too several product and too many purchasers that competes with everybody from Apple and Google to Oracle and Samsung.<br />
<br />
That’s why Ballmer wanted out Mulally’s recommendation in his recent restructuring of Microsoft. Its business and structure structure had become thus encumbered in complexness, thus fragmented into individual fiefdoms, that for any transformational amendment to require place, the primary step had to be to modify. And Mulally is aware of all that style of factor.<br />
<br />
When Mulally joined Ford in 2006, the Motor City maker was in unhappy form. Not solely was it haemorrhage amount and encumbered in debt, the corporate was distracted by acquisitions of cat, Land Rover, Volvo, and Aston Martin, likewise as a giant stake in Japan’s Mazda. And its fighting factions were go past executives United Nations agency upset additional concerning their own necks than the success of the corporate and its product. <br />
<br />
To change this dysfunctional and dissentious culture, Mulally had to interrupt down all the silos, dump all those subsidiary brands, and acquire everybody targeted on one goal: creating the company’s core whole – Ford – undefeated. That’s additional or less the recommendation he gave Ballmer some months agone, consistent with Associate in Nursing email he sent to Kara Swisher of All Things D.<br />
<br />
“Steve [Ballmer] and that i have acknowledged one another for several years, and Ford and Microsoft area unit old business partners. we've got shared with Steve … the weather of the Ford business transformation, as well as the importance of getting a compelling vision and therefore the relentless implementation of a thought that delivers the vision. A key a part of the Ford transformation, as you recognize, has been everybody operating along, with Associate in Nursing structure structure and operations completely targeted on delivering the set up.”<br />
<br />
By any metric, Mulally has done a unprecedented job of turning Ford around. He negotiated pay cuts with labor unions and brought the corporate back to growth and profitableness. And Ford was the sole one amongst Detroit’s huge 3 automakers to avoid bankruptcy and a government bailout throughout the monetary crisis.<br />
<br />
Microsoft is never a turnaround, however it's in dire would like of a compelling vision, a simplified structure and business structure, a cultural overhaul, efficient operations, and a thought that everybody at the corporate will work along to realize.<br />
<br />
While Ballmer has already taken steps to rebrand and reconstitute the corporate, I don’t suppose he went nearly way enough. It still appearance to Maine sort of a company that's making an attempt to try to to an excessive amount of, to be all things to any or all individuals. And it’s competitory with too several trade giants on method too several fronts.<br />
<br />
Fundamentally, Microsoft’s competitors area unit all straightforward corporations. That’s why they’re undefeated.<br />
<br />
Apple provides simply one or two of shopper natural philosophy devices and services.<br />
<br />
Google could be a search advertising company. Everything else it will is to extend its search ad revenue.<br />
<br />
Amazon is Associate in Nursing ecommerce marketplace.<br />
<br />
IBM could be a business IT solutions supplier.<br />
<br />
Likewise, Microsoft must make out what it's and, even as significantly, what it isn’t. It doesn’t would like some high-tech wunderkind {to do|to try to to|to try Associate in Nursingd do} that – it desires an old turnaround chief operating officer like Mulally. And guys like him don’t return on a day.<br />

Besides, he even maintains a residence in Washington State from his days at Boeing, some I hear. What might be additional perfect?</div>

<div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is offering a new service that aims to make it easier for developers to send push notifications to Android and iOS applications.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Amazon pitches Simple Notification Service with Mobile Push as an easier way for developers to add notifications than previously has been possible. Using one API, developers can send notifications to iOS and Android-based devices, including Amazon's own Kindle Fire tablets.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Previously adding push notifications at a large scale on multiple platforms has been complicated for developers, according to Amazon. That's because each smartphone OS has a different service that delivers notifications. So to support multiple mobile platforms, developers must integrate with each platform, which introduces operational complexity and cost, Amazon said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Mobile Push is compatible with Amazon's own Device Messaging platform as well as Apple's Push Notification Service and Cloud Messaging from Google. Notification messages sent to a mobile endpoint can appear as message alerts, badge updates, or even sound alerts.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
The service can send messages to individual users on specific devices or broadcast identical messages to many subscribers at once. For developers who find themselves with a hit app on their hands, it can scale from a few notifications a day to hundreds of millions, according to Amazon.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Developers can send as many as 1 million notifications each month for free. After that, customers pay $0.50 for every million messages published, and $0.50 for every million messages delivered.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
To help them get started, Amazon has published more information about the service <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/sns/latest/dg/SNSMobilePush.html" style="color: #0066cc; font-weight: bold; outline: none; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">on its documentation website.</a></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Mobile Push is built into the existing Simple Notification Service, which is still labelled as a beta and already lets developers send notifications to their users via SMS text message and email.</div>

The tech giant is expected to put the tablets on the market in time for the holiday shopping season.</div>

The fifth-generation iPad is said to take on a slim design that is more like the iPad mini and a thinner bezel than the current model, but will not change its display size. The smaller tablet will likely get a high-resolution screen.</div>

Facebook this week acquired Mobile Technologies, maker of translation and voice-recognition tools like Jibbigo, in an effort to boost the social network's global presence.</div>

"It has always been our mission to make the world more open and connected," Facebook product management director Tom Stocky said in a<a href="https://www.facebook.com/tstocky/posts/10100115269490818" style="border: 0px; color: #007ba1; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">statement</a>. "Although more than a billion people around the world already use Facebook every month, we are always looking for ways to help connect the rest of the world as well."</div>

Voice technology could be the answer. Features like Siri and Google Now have already made it easier for people to navigate mobile devices, and the addition of similar services to Facebook "will help us evolve our products to match that evolution," Stocky said.</div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
The OLED TV competition is heating up.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
Samsung has joined LG Electronics in offering the long-awaited organic light-emitting diode TVs. Samsung's new 55-inch curved display, priced at $9,000 (actually $8.999.99), is shipping to retailers and is also available to order on Samsung.com.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
The TV and electronics maker, which like LG is based in South Korea, had originally priced to arrive in the U.S. at $15,000 – the same price as that of LG's curved OLED display that <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/personal/2013/07/22/oled-tvs-arrive-finally-lg/2574745/" style="color: #1990e5; text-decoration: none;" title="http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/personal/2013/07/22/oled-tvs-arrive-finally-lg/2574745/">began arriving in stores last month</a>. Samsung says it improved its manufacturing process enough to yield displays more efficiently and decided to drop the price, undercutting LG in the process.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
And Samsung's set has a unique Multi View feature that lets two people watch different programming simultaneously on the display while wearing 3-D glasses. "Some of us at Samsung call it 'the marriage saver' because my wife and I can be sitting on the couch watching two different programs on the same OLED TV," says David Das, vice president of home entertainment for Samsung Electronics America.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
Each person has personal ear bud headphones built into the 3-D glasses (two pairs come with the set) that deliver individual audio streams to the viewer.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
The display, like the new LG OLED TV, has a concave shape. "It actually mimics that of an arena or amphitheater," Das says.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
Consumers have coveted OLED TVs since the first were shown more than five years ago, because the super-thin displays reproduce super-saturated colors, ultra-distinct blacks and whites and virtually no motion blur. But they have been hard to manufacture.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
Analyst Ken Park of DisplaySearch projects that as few as 20,000 OLED displays will be shipped globally this year, with about 800,000 expected in 2014, before approaching 4.5 million in 2015. "Consumers may find it difficult to pay for hugely expensive OLED TVs, so volume will be limited until mass production is fully stabilized," Park says.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
But OLED's promise remains because of the picture quality. "The images were very bright, well above what we've seen from any plasma TV, so you get an unparalleled contrast range that makes images pop off the screen," says Jim Willcox, senior electronics editor at Consumer Reports, who got to test the display. (His full report is on the <a href="http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/samsungoled0813.htm" style="color: #1990e5; text-decoration: none;" title="http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/samsungoled0813.htm">Consumer Reports web site</a>.)</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
Willcox calls the display "arguably the best all-around TV we've ever tested." He is looking forward to putting LG's competing curved display through the paces.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
But because of the high price and difficulty of manufacturing, he says, "all OLED TV manufacturers face formidable challenges before these sets can become a mainstream choice for consumers."</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
Samsung also announced that retailers were also now offering two new Ultra HD displays, a 55-inch model ($5,500) and 65-inch model ($7,500). Consumers could be overwhelmed by choice with new OLED and Ultra HD sets joining traditional big-screen flat panel displays at retail, so Samsung will have detailed descriptors in stores.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
"We feel that each of these technologies meets a certain consumer's needs," Das says. "Ultra HD offers the highest resolution, four times that of full HD and in OLED, it is this amazing picture quality. It stops people in their tracks."</div>

Munster expects an iPhone 5S and cheaper iPhone (I’d say mid-priced since along the lines of the iPad Mini Apple will probably lean to a higher price vs. lower one) to be announced in September, an iPad update in October, a TV announcement late in the year and a larger screen iPhone and iWatch in mid-2014.</div>

I would agree that it makes sense to announce a 5S and the rumored 5C phone together as for one reason you want to make sure they are positioned against each other as well as you can. That is easier to do at the same time vs. separate events.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; word-wrap: break-word;">
Munster estimates that 70% of fiscal 2014 iPhone sales will come from upgrades of previous iPhones which provides some stability to revenue and earnings projections. He projects that the company should have flat EPS in the December quarter compared to a year ago at $13.82 vs. last years $13.81 and have a 15% increase in the March 2014 quarter to $11.57. The average sell-side EPS is $13.38 for the December quarter and $10.49 in the March 2014 quarter.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; word-wrap: break-word;">
The key to Apple’s results will be its gross margin with the Street having it stabilize around 36% over the next two years. If Apple can price the 5C well enough to generate decent margins but not cannibalize too many 5S’ then earnings will not just stabilize but have a chance to move higher.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; word-wrap: break-word;">
Munster is expecting that the lower priced iPhone will only have a 15% gross margin and cannibalize 25% of typical iPhones vs. a prior expectation of 50%. While Apple may go as low as 15% gross margins I believe that is a fairly conservative number (as does Munster) but I do think that the cannibalization rate could be higher than his projected 25% (I would expect more in the range of 30% to 40%). The keys will be in which countries and what carriers offer it, how limited in functionality it is such as 3G but no 4G connectivity and other lower tech specs such as smaller screen, slower processor, camera and memory.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; word-wrap: break-word;">
I’m not convinced a plastic case will be as big a turnoff as some seem to think. Apple doesn’t do cheap (meaning the 5C will still feel solid) and other smartphone vendors seem to be doing quite well with plastic phones.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; word-wrap: break-word;">
To determine how many users will upgrade to the next phone Munster assumes after a two year contract that 80% to 90% stay with the iPhone family (feels like a reasonable assumption to me) and that they upgrade over the next year (I would assume a lower rate than the 100% conversion he uses). Based on 125 million iPhones sold in fiscal 2012 and using the mid-point retention rate he projects that there will be 106 million iPhones bought by existing users. With an overall iPhone estimate of 152 million Munster expects that 70% of the fiscal 2014’s iPhone sales are “in the bag”.</div>

It probably works better to have a separate event to announce new iPads. It generates more buzz and the company can focus its resources on the iPhone and iPad to maximum effect by holding them on different dates. It also makes it easier on their manufacturing partners so that they are not having to ramp production of multiple products at the same time.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; word-wrap: break-word;">
The wild cards are new product categories that Apple’s CEO Tim Cook has alluded to as I don’t think his pronouncements about new products are limited to iPhones and iPads. I expect a larger screen iPhone next year (and you have to assume that Apple is feverously working on it due to share loss). Since it is easier to change the internal workings of a phone vs. altering the total size of one the company is on a yearly cadence for upgrades but is slower than one would like when it comes to a new form factor.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; word-wrap: break-word;">
Munster has speculated on a TV for few years and hedges he bet (70% odds) of a first half launch in 2014. With a price tag of $1,500 to $2,000 I would estimate that Apple’s share of the market will be fewer than the 10 million unit potential (or 9% market share) Munster foresees (but does not include in his financial projections).</div>
<span style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; white-space: normal;">A wearable device is the other product line that gets a lot of press. However, I’m not convinced a $150 device (typical pricing for these items currently) will have a huge uptake unless it either delivers some very interesting functionality beyond how many calories or Fuel Units I expend or becomes an visible accessory that people want to show off (similar to the white ear buds the iPod had).</span> </h1>

BlackBerry hits 88MPH, goes back to the future with NEW old 9720 mobe</h1>

Brainwave: Crank out a cheap QWERTY BB7 phone for Asia, Latin America</h2>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, FreeSans, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">
BlackBerry has announced a new phone for emerging markets: the BlackBerry 9720. It's not part of the shiny new BlackBerry OS 10 line-up of mobiles because it's powered by the ancient BlackBerry 7 OS, which last saw action in 2011.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, FreeSans, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">
It's the consequence of a mismatch between BlackBerry's swanky modern QNX-based operating system and the company's customers. BB OS 10 requires devices with 2GB of memory and a dual-core processor to run all its bells and whistles; the sort of hardware that sports a mid to high-end price tag.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, FreeSans, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">
However plenty of BlackBerry's punters can't afford that: those expecting low-cost handsets in emerging markets. While BlackBerry promised that BB OS 10 would be available across all price points in 2013, it hasn't been able to come up with the goods. Even the cheapest of the three BB OS 10 devices released to date -<a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/07/10/blackberry_q5_review/" style="color: #dd0000; text-decoration: none;">the Q5</a> - is still far too expensive to appeal to the $150 segment: it costs about £290 SIM-free in the UK (that's about $450 in the US).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, FreeSans, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">
Hence, the volte face. The 9720 will not be available in the West but in Asia and Latin America. It's a QWERTY handset with thumbpad and 2.8-inch screen similar to the low-cost Curve range, and sports a built-in FM radio. It has a 320 x 480 pixel display, an 800MHz processor with 512MB RAM, 5Mp camera and a 1,450mAh battery.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, FreeSans, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">
Its ancient OS has been tweaked to allow access to BlackBerry Messenger, FaceBook and Twitter. BlackBerry would rather not devote resources to its legacy OS, but has little other choice.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, FreeSans, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">
BB OS 10 turned out to be too much for BlackBerry's PlayBook, too. Having promised owners of the tablet a new version of the operating system, BB CEO Thorsten Heins announced the slab was being discontinued, in part owing to the poor performance of the OS.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, FreeSans, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">
The company, which has watched its market share nosedive in just five years, announced it was <a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/08/12/blackberry_committee_anything_goes/" style="color: #dd0000; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">up for grabs</a> yesterday. ®<a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/08/13/bb_9720/">BlackBerry hits 88MPH, goes back to the future with NEW old 9720 mobe</a></div>

It looks like Microsoft is taking another U-turn by clarifying that its new Xbox One console will even work without plugging in the new Kinect sensor.<br style="outline: none;" /><br style="outline: none;" />In an <a href="http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/08/05/ask-microsoft-anything-about-xbox-one" style="outline: none;">interview</a> with IGN, Microsoft's Marc Whitten, Chief Xbox One Platform Architect, responded to a question on whether the console would work even without the Kinect sensor plugged in, saying that it would indeed function but features that make use of the sensor won't work. He explained,"That said, like online, the console will still function if Kinect isn't plugged in, although you won't be able to use any feature or experience that explicitly uses the sensor."<br style="outline: none;" /><br style="outline: none;" />Previously, Microsoft had mentioned that the Xbox One will not function without the Kinect sensor, as noted by an IGN <a href="http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/21/xbox-one-will-not-function-without-kinect-attached" style="outline: none;">report</a>. <br style="outline: none;" /><br style="outline: none;" />Xbox's UK marketing director Harvey Eagle had said that "Kinect does require to be connected to Xbox One in all cases, yes."<br style="outline: none;" /><br style="outline: none;" />It's interesting to note that Microsoft includes Kinect in the standard Xbox One package, which implies it's not optional. The Xbox One costs $500, and one of the reasons given for the high price is the inclusion of the Kinect sensor. It's worth noting that PlayStation 4, Xbox One's competitor in the next-generation gaming console wars, does not include a bundled motion sensor, and is priced $100 cheaper than Microsoft' console. (<b style="outline: none;">Also see:</b> <a href="http://gadgets.ndtv.com/games/news/playstation-4-priced-at-399-sony-confirms-used-games-support-377962" style="outline: none;">PS4 priced $100 cheaper than Xbox One</a>)<br style="outline: none;" /><br style="outline: none;" />Whitten also informed that users will get the ability to completely turn the sensor off in the console's settings. In this mode, the sensor will not collect any information but the console will support using the sensor for IR blasting. Also, if the user tries to access any feature that requires Kinect functionality, the console will prompt the user to turn it back on.<br style="outline: none;" /><br style="outline: none;" />Microsoft had also <a href="http://gadgets.ndtv.com/games/news/microsoft-comes-clean-on-xbox-one-queries-and-concerns-376528" style="outline: none;">clarified earlier that a simple "Xbox off" voice command</a>, will switch off Kinect while users enjoy the entertainment features of the console and the only command that the sensor will recognise that time would be "Xbox on". Users could even switch off this feature, if they wished to. <br style="outline: none;" /><br style="outline: none;" />It's not the first time that Microsoft has retracted from its original stance with the Xbox One. In June, Microsoft took a U-turn by <a href="http://gadgets.ndtv.com/games/news/microsoft-changes-xbox-one-policy-on-game-sharing-internet-connectivity-after-outcry-381929" style="outline: none;">backing off plans for the Xbox One consoles to require constant Internet connections and put restrictions on playing second-hand disk games</a> after wide spread outrage among the media and gaming community and the good response to PlayStation 4 pre bookings that does not have any such restrictions.<a href="http://gadgets.ndtv.com/games/news/microsoft-takes-a-u-turn-again-says-xbox-one-will-work-even-without-kinect-405334">http://gadgets.ndtv.com/games/news/microsoft-takes-a-u-turn-again-says-xbox-one-will-work-even-without-kinect-405334</a></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">sources claimed that the new interface of windows 8 and windows 8 OS mobile are badly exposed due to their less effectiveness and less ease of user interface.it was executed badly and now results are revealing due to Microsoft journey towards failure. Microsoft was under serious consequences of market appreciation and sale of Samsung and apple which was touching to new glories.it is important now that will Microsoft survive or nor??.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the bloggers answered that it depends upon now approach of Microsoft. If Microsoft attracted the consumers and they gave them what they want then Microsoft will survive otherwise it will lead him to his death. The world's biggest IT tycoon now is fighting the war of his existence due to failure of policies. Market analysts claimed that nothing have been left for Microsoft in market. After badly rejected by customers and industry due to better policies of his rivals Microsoft can cause the wall street to crash if the same circumstances sustain in information technology market.</span></div>
