Android could reach to compete with Windows PC

The bomb has exploded and is running all over the web so far there were only suspicions that Android 5.0 could make the leap to devices such as netbooks own brand to live with Chrome OS but now a registered patent in the United States seems to confirm the plan. Will we see Google competing with Microsoft and its Windows Almighty?
The escalation of rumors about a version of Android that would jump from smartphones and tablet personal computers had not been increasing in recent weeks. Now a patent filed by Google on trackpad movements and discovered by Patently Apple says the plan is serious and is in full swing.
This patent can take two readings. Of course still unknown the real intentions of Google but two interesting hypotheses seem to take advantage. The first is of course to become an Android operating system for personal computers and was living with full Windows or other systems.
The second hypothesis is less interesting since it indicates that the real intention of Google would turn smartphones and tablet personal computers connecting to a monitor. This would be a revolution as this type of increasingly powerful devices could mean the end of the era of desktop and notebook computers as we know them.
If we remember the release of version 4.0 of Android "Ice Cream Sandwich", a feature that Google said was that it was a system that can adapt to any size screen. This accuracy may well refer not only to tablets or mobile screens, but also conventional desktop monitors or other large format screens. In this case our device would trackpad and become a real "mobile computer".
No doubt the increased power in smartphones and tablets, with more and more memory and multicore processors, this second theory makes more than likely. We'll probably have to wait until summer to get to know the official version of Google on this exciting project.

The UE could end the ACTA

The governments of several European countries, including Germany and Denmark have expressed objections tothe controversial anti-counterfeiting agreement agreement, ACTA. Now joins the EU to central level.

Diario ti:  The ACTA project has prompted strong reactions condemning popular in Europe, especially among young people. In parallel, 22 countries have signed the agreement under international anti-counterfeiting.

During a press conference on 22 February, the European Trade Commissioner Karel de Gucht said he understood people's concerns about freedom of expression online. In this context it should be remembered that the human rights organization Amnesty International called on the European Union to reject the ACT, arguing that "the implementation of the agreement could open a Pandora's box of potential human rights violations."

De Gucht stressed that the debate should be based on facts, not on what he called "misunderstandings
  and rumors in social media and blogs ".

The ACTA is the subject of intensive discussion and debate within the EU. Justice Commissioner and Vice President of the European Commission, Viviane Redding, is one of the officers a clearer Community has spoken on the subject: "For me, blocking the Internet is not an alternative. We must find new methods, most modern and effective intellectual property protection at the same time that we safeguard the technological development and Internet freedom, "said Redding in a statement (PDF in English)

If the EU decides that ACTA violates the "Community constitution," the independent firms of the 22 signatory countries would be invalid in the sense that the agreement not be ratified by each country in an independent capacity.

This situation, therefore, could jeopardize the entire international ACTA.
