Microsoft is another step away from it's money-printing all-consuming behavior (i think so). Here is what you get in 2015. Windows 10, free to update: Windows 10 will be a free update, for users running Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 on PCs or notebooks, and for Windows Phone 8.1 users on mobile. It's Spartaaaaaa...n: A new browser is coming, called Spartan with reading and PDF markup mode built-in. Windows 10 mobile ecosystem: Windows 10 mobile now syncs with desktop, tablet and many other devices. Free Office Suite for Wondows mobile: I hoped for something better ! .... and Office 2016 will be released in 2015. Microsoft HoloLens? Hmm, now this is new. This is an 'Augmented Reality' device extending Windows 10. Teckcrunch

There are number of applications on GPS in android, but it depends on the purpose of your application requirements. For data collection there are many free applications, even ESRI has launched free application if am not wrong. 1. Sygic, 2. google, 3. telenav, 4. mapquest, 5. mapfactor, 6.mytracks, 7. GIS Cloud, 8. mapit, 9. BHUVAN PoI and bhuvan drishti and 10. ARCGIS and Collector for ArcGIS ...and so on. Of course Free V/s Paid will be debating topic which will never end, again it depends on the requirement. The free applicaitons will be having their own limitations where as paid applications provide you the key requirement solutions. These application include collection of data with customized forms. A specific requirement will be helpful to give some more inputs. Hope this helps.

GPS Essentials is one of the better that i know.

This has put the company in a tough spot, but its extensive R&D capacity really makes it a desired target for acquisition. Over the past few years, there has been a lot of talk about such buy-outs, most recently Mediatek was cited as a prospective buyer, but none of the plans has actually stuck. A new rumor now hints that Samsung might have its sight set on the struggling semiconductor company. The benefits of such a deal could potentially be plentiful for both sides. Samsung would acquire a lot of know-how and research potential. Not to mention a formidable portfolio of patents that AMD has acquired throughout the years. The Korean tech giant has been doing really well with its custom Exynos chipsets recently and the latest Exynos 7420 model has shown such huge potential in the new 14nm realm that the company might, quite justifiable, decide to start offering in to third-party companies. The reality, however, is that, while the Exynos chip has managed to crush its competition in terms of performance, it is still based on off-the-shelf ARM technology, namely the Cortex-A53, Cortex-A57 and Mali-T760 MP8 CPU and GPU. In the meantime, competitors, such as Qualcomm and Intel have custom chip designs of their own, which could give them an edge down the road. With the help of AMD, Samsung cane remedy this and perhaps entirely shake itself off from the dependence on Qualcomm or generic ARM technology. And then, there’s AMD. The sad truth is that, if such a buy-out does eventually occur, no matter what the other party is, AMD has one main thing to gain – much needed financial support. Samsung could be the company’s ticket back to the major leagues and a potential investment in mobile graphics research, could even allow AMD to license chips to third party vendors, other than the Korean giant down the road. On the flip side, though, there is the matter of AMD’s current z86 business. Samsung appears to have little use for it, judging by the company’s withdrawal from PC markets in recent years. Of course, this does not necessarily mean that AMD will completely sack its PC CPU and GPU units and most likely the chips will remain in production by third party manufacturers. But the buy-out might lead to a refocus of effort and potentially hinder development of new technologies on this front. source : http://blog.gsmarena.com/amd-might-soon-become-part-samsung-family

Microsoft has released version 1.0 of its Node.js Tools for Visual Studio (NTVS). The open-source extension for Visual Studio 2012 and 2013 turns Microsoft’s development environment into a Node.js IDE. NTVS has been in development for more than a year. Sara Itani, Node.js Tools for Visual Studio software engineer, detailed the NTVS 1.0 features in a blog post, drawing particular attention to IntelliSense editing and code completions. “Code completions? For a dynamically typed language? Yep, you heard us right,” wrote Itani. “NTVS will statically analyze your project to provide you with syntactically correct code completions for your Node.js code and packages.” NTVS supports syntax highlighting and code folding, including brace-completion, automatic formatting and F12 Go To Definition. Other features in NTVS 1.0 include: Interactive Window (REPL) npm integration Advanced debugging and profiling Test explorer integration for unit testing Full integration with other Visual Studio features, including TypeScript, Git/TFS and Azure js, io.js, JavaScript, TypeScript, HT DOWNLOAD https://nodejstools.codeplex.com/

terkait orthorektifikasi satellite imagery/metric aerial photographs kalau untuk support Jenis Sensor dan dukungan pembuatan custom RPC, ENVI paling lengkap, kalau untuk kemudahan proses uji akurasi hasil ortho, PCI geomatica paling enak kalau untuk kecepatan processing, ERDAS IMAGINE Menang kalau untuk orthorektifikasi praktis tanpa GCP dan hasilnya relatif akurat (plus geoid correction), ARCGIS rajanya kalau untuk model paling robust dan dukungan terhadap penggunaan persamaan kolinear untuk orthorektfikasi, BAE system SOCET SET paling mantab terkait orthorektifikasi UAV based imagery Ada Agisoft photoscan, MENCI, dan Photomodeller, tapi keknya MENCI lagi ngetrend karena paling powerful, belom coba juga sih, baru coba pake agisoft doang

Just saw the news in TeckCrunch. Nadella started to take bold decisions which could surely change Microsoft in near future. Starting from the server side technologies only, maybe in future we will all see a complete bar-free ecosystem for everyone.
