Evolution of Windows Operating System

It all began in Plaza Hotel, New York City on the 10th of November 1983. Two Microsoft founders Paul Allen and Bill Gates officially announced their corporation’s first and next-generation graphical user interface operating system – Microsoft Windows.

Despite the criticism on stability and constantly being compared to their rivals Apple Macintosh, Microsoft Windows is still the most widely used operating systems in the world.

Windows 1.01 (1985)

Officially released on November 20, 1985, this 16-bit OS that cost less than 1MB in overall is Microsoft’s very first operating system that allows multi tasking with graphical user interface on PC platform that runs on MS-DOS 5.0.

Windows 1.03 (1986)

Introduced in 1986, Windows 1.03 is an upgrade to its previous predecessor Windows 1.01. Entire operating system cost about 2.2Mb hard disk space.


Windows 2.03 (1987)

Taking advantage of the speed of Intel 286/386 processor at that time, Windows 2.03 is a replacement for Windows 1.x. It also starts the era where users are able to overlap windows, customize screens, etc. Still the entire operating system cost no more than 2.5Mb.


Windows 2.86 (1989)

Windows 3.0 (1990)

This is the third major released of Microsoft Windows with a improved set of Windows icons and applications like File Manager, Program Manager that is still being used in today’s Windows. This 22 May 1990 released operating system is then replaced by Windows 3.1 two years later.

Windows 3.1 (1992)

Windows 3.1 is probably the earliest Windows most of us are familiar with. Windows 3.1 and later Windows 3.1x is an upgrade to Windows 3.0 with bug fixes and multimedia support.

Windows NT 3.1 (1993)

The first Windows New Technology (NT) introduced. It maintains consistency with the Windows 3.1, a well-established home and business operating system at the time, the new Windows NT operating system began with version 3.1. Unlike Windows 3.1, however, Windows NT 3.1 was a 32-bit operating system.

Windows 3.11 (1993)

A superset of Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups 3.11 added peer-to-peer workgroup and domain networking support. For the first time, Windows–based PCs were network-aware and became an integral part of the emerging client/server computing evolution – Microsoft

Windows NT 3.51 Workstation (1995)

The Windows NT Workstation 3.5 release provided the highest degree of protection yet for critical business applications and data. With support for the OpenGL graphics standard, this operating system helped power high-end applications for software development, engineering, financial analysis, scientific, and business-critical tasks – Microsoft

Windows 95 (1995)

Previously code-named Chicago, Windows 95 is a successor to all the existing Windows operating system so far. It gives full graphical user interface support, integrated a 32-bit TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) stack for built-in Internet support, dial-up networking, and new Plug and Play capabilities that made it easy for users to install hardware and software.

Windows NT 4.0 (1996)

Windows NT Workstation 4.0 included the popular Windows 95 user interface yet provided improved networking support for easier and more secure access to the Internet and corporate intranets – Microsoft.

Windows NT Server 4.0 (1996)

Windows 98 (1998)

Windows 98 was the upgrade from Windows 95. Described as an operating system that "Works Better, Plays Better," Windows 98 was the first version of Windows designed specifically for consumers – Microsoft.

Windows 2000 (2000)

More than just the upgrade to Windows NT Workstation 4.0, Windows 2000 Professional was also designed to replace Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT Workstation 4.0 on all business desktops and laptops. Built on top of the proven Windows NT Workstation 4.0 code base, Windows 2000 added major improvements in reliability, ease of use, Internet compatibility, and support for mobile computing – Microsoft.

Windows 2000 Server (2000)

Windows ME (2000)

Designed for home computer users, Windows Me offered consumers numerous music, video, and home networking enhancements and reliability improvements – Microsoft.

Windows XP (2001)

Windows XP Professional brings the solid foundation of Windows 2000 to the PC desktop, enhancing reliability, security, and performance. With a fresh visual design, Windows XP Professional includes features for business and advanced home computing, including remote desktop support, an encrypting file system, and system restore and advanced networking features – Microsoft.

Windows Server 2003 (2003)

Released on April 2003, and also known as Win2k3, this operating system is a sucessor to it’s predecessor Windows Server 2000 (Win2k).

Windows Vista (2006)

Came more than 5 years after it’s predecessor Windows XP, Vista is the longest timeline break for Microsoft between two operating system. Read more.

Windows 7 (2009)

Codenamed Blackcomb, Windows 7 is one of the most anticipated operating system which should be available somewhere in Oct 2009. Read more.

Conversion of Numbers of Different Bases to Decimals

Consider the number 97531.

This is really: 9×10000 + 7×1000 + 5×100 + 3×10 + 1.

This can also be written as: 9×104 + 7×103 + 5×102 + 3×101 + 1×100.

There is nothing special about why we use base 10 except that humans have ten fingers.


In the world of electronics, the natural base is two, because it only has two states: on and off. We use “1” to signify on, and “0” to signify off. This is referred to as the “binary system.”

Example 1: Consider the binary number 1101011001.

To convert this to its decimal equivalent, we rewrite it as:
1×29 + 1×28 + 0×27 + 1×26 + 0× 25 + 1×24 + 1×23 + 0×22 + 0×21 + 1×20.

Or:
1×512 +1× 256 + 0×128 + 1×64 + 0×32 + 1×16 + 1×8 + 0×4 + 0×2 + 1 = 857.


Computational Devise “A”

Powers of 2 1024 512 256 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
Binary Digits 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1
Their Product 512 256 0 64 0 16 8 0 0 1

Their sum: 512 + 256 + 0 + 64 + 0 + 16 + 8 + 0 + 0 + 1 = 857


Suppose we were to use another base, say “b.” That would mean that the numbers representing the amounts multiplying their powers would range from “0” to one less that the base, i.e. “b-1.” For example, in base ten, these numbers range from “0” to “9.” That is why in base two we only have “0” and “1.” The commonly used base in Information science is base sixteen, or hexadecimal (“hex” means six and “deci” refers to tenth).



Example 2: Consider the base four number (1023)4. Notice the numbers range between “0” and “3,” the subscript “4” indicates the base of the number.

1×43 0×42 + 2×41 + 3×40
1×64 + 0×16 + 2×8 + 3×1 = 73

Powers of 4 256 64 16 4 1
Base 4 Digits 1 0 2 3
Their Product 64 0 8 3

Adding the digits in the last row: 64 + 0 + 8 + 1 = 73


Example 3: (647)8

6×82 + 4×81 + 7×80
6×64 + 4×8 + 7×1 = 73

Powers of 8 512 64 8 1
Octal Digits 6 4 7
Their Product 384 24 7

The sum of the digits in the last row 384 + 24 + 7 = 73


Notice that we have chosen bases that are powers of two. Those are the numbers that followed the progression within computer science. Because it is more convenient to use higher bases to represent quantities because it requires less space, or slots, to do so. The final base that the computational progression settled on was base sixteen or hexadecimal. Using base16, the range of numbers multiplying the powers of the base have to range between “0” and “fifteen.” However, it was decided to represent the amounts from “ten” to “fifteen” by the letter A, B, C, D, E and F (i.e. A=10, B=11, C=12, D=13, C=14 and F=15).


Example 4: (D3)16


D×161 + 3×160
D×16 + 3×1 = 13×16 + 3×1 = 209

Most of the hexadecimal numbers used in computer math will only have two places, thus representing numbers from 0 to FF (or 0 to 255).

Conversion of Decimals Numbers to Different Bases

Consider the number 97531.

Computational Devise “B”

Base Divisor Dividend/Quotient Remainder
10 97531
10 9753 1
10 975 3
10 97 5
10 9 7
0 9

Decimal Digits 9 7 5 3 1
Their Product 90000 7000 500 30 1

The sum of the digits in the last row is:

90000 + 7000 + 500 + 30 +1 = 97531


Notice how when you divide each dividend the remainder is the quantity that multiplies the base to the next lower power. And when you have a quotient of “0” you have finished, and the final remainder is the quantity that multiplies the highest powered base.


Example 5: Convert the decimal number 25 to its binary equivalent.

The sum of the digits in the last row 16×1 + 1×8 + 0×4 + 1×2 + 1×1 = 25

How to Get Online Tutoring Jobs

If you’ve got a college degree or are already a state-certified teacher, earn extra money by serving as an online tutor at your convenience. Online tutoring jobs allow you to put your education and teaching experience to good use, set your own work schedule and earn a living when you’re off work or between jobs. Consider these tips to help get online tutoring jobs.

Instructions

Step 1

Look for companies with requirements that match your qualifications to get online tutoring jobs. While some online tutoring services like MyTutor24.com require years of teaching or tutoring experience along with an undergraduate degree, others like TutorVista.com and OnlineLearning.net ask for a degree and professional experience or knowledge in the subject matter you want to tutor.

Step 2

Consider the company’s training and commitment requirements when choosing an online tutoring job. While some tutor jobs offer complete control over work hours, some like Aim4a.com also ask you to accommodate time zones from Europe and Australia, for example. Other companies like Tutor.com ask for a minimum commitment of five hours a week during specific hours that will accommodate most students.

Step 3

Look for an online tutoring job to put your area of expertise to goods use. Some companies specialize in online math tutoring for elementary age students, for example, while others cater to high school-level writing and literature analysis or science subjects like chemistry or biology.

Step 4

Research each company’s history before signing up or divulging any personal information to apply for online tutoring jobs. Although you’ll need to purchase your own equipment to serve as an online tutor (like a computer, wireless headset and Internet connection), reputable companies won’t require you to pay fees for starter kits or job and client listings. Search for potential employers through the Better Business Bureau or on websites like Scam.com to uncover a fraudulent track record.

Step 5

Apply to become an online tutor with the company you’ve chosen. To get some online tutoring jobs like those with UniversalClass.com or eHomeworkHelp.com, you’ll need to fill out an online application and enclose a resume. Other services, like SmartThinking.com, ask for an emailed cover letter, resume and references.

Step 6

Make yourself stand out among other applicants by outlining your qualifications in your cover letter, including any previous teaching or tutoring experience. If you’re hoping to land an online math tutoring job, for instance, discuss any math-related projects you’ve completed or classes you’ve taken that will show your level of expertise.

Tips for share traders for making money in day trading

1. Remember to use the stop loss efficiently while day trading.


2. If the stock market is trading in positive direction as compared to the previous day and one is short in a stock, than one can safely close the open position. The same is true other way also i.e. if one is long in a stock overnight and stock market is trading in positive as compared to previous close, than one can contemplate buying additional quantity of stock.

3. Benefit being contrarians in day trading in share market.

4. If the stock market is trading in a negative direction than remember to go short in the stocks which are trading in negative side and do not go short in those stocks which are trading in positive direction.

5. Remember not to go by pre-conceived notions and an example of the same is that it is not necessary that a stock which is weak today during intraday trading might be weak tomorrow also and vice versa is also true.

6. Monitor the overseas market because if US Markets have gone up overnight, than it is very high probability that Indian markets will open strong. One can check the rates of Indian ADR Prices and can thus benefit in Indian stock market by virtue of reliable information. However one has to be careful when buying stocks as the general psychology of public is to buy when good news is there. Thus Research for Indian stocks is of utmost importance.

7. Remember the guru mantra of trading in liquid stocks i.e. stocks with high volume because it provides an easy entry and exit in stocks.

8. One can undertake the paper trading before testing the day trading in actuality. However remember that to make money in paper and making money in actuality are two different things as paper trading lacks the emotion aspect.

9. Trade with a constant volume and do not get exuberated by gains achieved.

10. As a new trader one should trade with quantity of stocks which is manageable. Initially make constant endeavor to keep the fear and greed under rein else you will have lot of tension.

Term Plan is The Best Plan

The primary objective of life insurance is to provide financial protection for your family in case of policy holder’s death. It helps you to ensure that your family and loved ones will have sufficient money to fulfill their needs in your absence also.   Term plan is the pure form of life insurance or in other words we can tell that it is a pure risk cover plan in which the insured pays a lower premium for a higher sum assured. Term insurance is the cheapest among other forms of life insurance; it helps the policy holder to insure himself for a larger amount at a relatively low premium. As we mentioned earlier insurance is not a place to park your investments, the ultimate objective of insurance is to provide financial assistance to your family in your absence. Term plan helps you to cover your life with a very less premium, so that you can invest the major part of your savings in some other productive investments. If a person is return sensitive investor or he is looking for returns from his investments, term plans are not suitable for them. Most of the term plans doesn’t give any returns if nothing happens to the life insured. There are some plans it return the premiums paid if the individual survives the tenure.   Term plans are cheaper than other kinds of insurance because of their lean cost structure. In term plan’s premium only administration expenses and the mortality charges are covered. There is no savings element in the premium charged to the insured. As a result of this, if the insured were to survive the term of the plan, he gets no returns. In fact the premiums paid towards this plan are entirely written off if no eventuality occurs during the tenure of the plan. Only in case of an eventuality your nominee will receive the sum assured. At the same time if you are considering insurance as an investment you have to go with Endowment plans or ULIPs. But here the charges will be very high because these plans will impose allocation charge, fund management charge, etc. apart from the mortality charges and administration charges. In life insurance terminology, endowment plans are referred to as ‘with-profits plans’. They cover the individual’s life in case of an eventuality; if he survives the term he receives the maturity amount. In the happening of the individual’s demise, his nominees receive the sum assured with accumulated profits/bonuses on investments. In case the individual survives the tenure, he receives the sum assured and accumulated profits/bonuses. As a whole life Insurance is a powerful tool to cover your unforeseen risks that can affect your family in your absence. It also works as a saving instrument which can help you in planning for your children’s education, daughter’s marriage, pension, retirement benefits or for any other defined objectives. Factors you should consider before buying term insurance are:  1.    Adequate Sum Assured. 2.    Rider benefits. 3.    Claim History of the company you are purchasing insurance. 4.    Competitive Pricing. 5.    Administrative Costs. Types of Term Insurance policies Term insurance policies can be classified into different types, some of the major categories of term insurance are listed below; ·         Single-premium term policies ·         Regular-premium term policies ·         Term policies with return of premium ·         Loan cover term insurance Single-Premium Term Policies Single Premium Term policies are those there you have to pay the premium in a lump sum amount. The policy will cover your life for a predefined term. This plan helps you to escape from the burden of paying the premium every year. Pay the premium once and forget, it will give you cover for a predefined term. Compared to regular premium plans the premium will be high in this plan because you are paying money only once where as in regular premium plan you will be paying the premium every year. Regular-Premium Term Plans Regular-Premium Term Plans offers you the option to pay the premium on a yearly basis. If you don't want to make a huge one-time payment, go for this option. You will have to pay the premium every year till the end of the insurance term. Term Policies with Return of Premium Normally in Term plans, if the policy holder survives the policy term nothing will be returned to him. You will lose all the money that you have paid. But in this plan you get back all the premiums you paid. It could be with or without interest. Biggest advantage of this plan is if you survive the maturity, no money is lost. But you have to pay a heavy premium every year, it will be much more than the regular premium policies.   Loan cover Term Insurance This policy is meant for the people those who have taken home loans. The insurance amount will be equivalent to the outstanding loan amount. It gradually decreases, in the same proportion, as the loan amount is paid back. The premium here works just like the Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) of the home loan. It stays constant through the repayment period. This kind of policies assures the insured that, in an eventuality like death, his/her family will not be burdened with the repayment of heavy debt.

Advantages of Term Life Insurance over other Insurance

Term Life Insurance has the following advantages

·         Helps to Settle Loans

·         Flexible Duration

·         Inexpensive

·         Investment

·         Suitable for Satisfying Particular Requirements

Helps to Settle Loans

Loans are generally repayable over a period of years. When an insured takes a loan for car or house or other movable and immovable properties he is under the responsibility to repay it over a period of time. During such circumstances an insured can take a term loan in order to ensure that his dependents have sufficient cash to repay them in the event of his unexpected death in that period.

Flexible Duration

This is the only type of life insurance policy whereby an insured can insure his life for a period small duration like one year. This type of lenience will help the insured to properly plan and assign the sum required to make the payments. In the absence of such flexibility the insured will be enforced to oblige with the time limits set by the company for the respective policy.

Inexpensive

Even though term insurance premiums increase over a period of time they are still considered inexpensive when compared with other kinds of policy. Cheap term life insurance does not mean that the consumer will lose quality or benefits. This can help the customer even to save money in the initial stages which he/she normally pays in other policies. On the contrary when the premiums are increased the insured will be able to make use of the cash mounted up to pay the remaining premiums. In the meantime the earlier deposits would have earned interest as well. Therefore the customer will be able to obtain cheap life insurance quotes.

Investment

Compared to a whole life insurance policy, term life insurance policy costs are very cheaper. It helps you to invest your money in some other productive investments where you are invested.  This means that you can invest your money yourself instead of depending on the insurance company. Insurers are typically very conservative when investing your money, so by taking a term life insurance policy you can enjoy more freedom in choosing the investments.

Suitable for Satisfying Particular Requirements

Term insurance is not only useful for settling loans but also for others particular requirements. Suppose a person wants to build a house or fund his child's education in an expensive university he can place targets and invest in a term insurance for that particular period. This will help him to meet critical events which would have otherwise been very difficult.

Drawbacks of Term Life Insurance

Some of the disadvantages of term life insurance are as follows:

·         Premiums Increase with Age

·         Temporary Protection

Premiums Increase with Age

Term insurance policies require the insured to pay a lower amount in the beginning; as a person gets older he needs to pay a higher amount of premium. This will show to be a difficult task if the person is not able to allocate funds regularly. In addition the insured may have more commitments and some of them might be unexpected. Therefore the concept of cheap term life insurance seems to be a myth when a person is not able to meet the policy demands at this stage.

Temporary Protection

In a Term Plan the insured may not be able to enjoy permanent protection like a permanent life insurance policy. The insurance policy covers risks of death only during the specific term. This places the insured in a disadvantage because if he is not able to renew the policy and pay higher premiums he will lose the protection thereafter. The insurance company will not refund the money if the insurer does not die in that particular period.

This type of insurance is observed to be the best especially when it is not possible to allocate a huge sum but at the same time the customer is badly in need of insurance. There is no precise time for term insurance; it can be for a period of 1, 5, 10 or 15 and even 30 years. The insured has to choose that particular time which is convenient for him.

6 points to remember while choosing a Term Plan

Following are the points that you should keep in mind while selecting a Term Plan.

1.    First of all understand the concept of term insurance like what is means, how it works, what are the benefits, etc.  

2.    All term life insurance companies are not the same. Try to find out the financial strength of the company you are seeking to buy from.

3.    Compared to whole life insurance, term life insurance is very cheap. It is cheaper because it is designed to cover you only for a certain period of time.  If you want to cover your whole life, term life insurance is not suitable for you.

4.    Term Life Insurance is good if you want to cover your family and your home in the event of your death. If you have a home loan, you can purchase a term insurance policy for the amount of home loan. This ensures that you family will not lose their home, in case of your premature death.

5.    You should always prefer a guaranteed renewable policy, so that your coverage cannot be terminated if you have any kind of health problems in future. If you are purchasing a guaranteed renewable policy company has the responsibility to renew the policy after the predetermined term even if you are suffering from some health problems.

6.    Choose only convertible Policy

It is very important to remember that while choosing the term insurance you should make sure that the policies are convertible, so that you can switch to other plans later if needed. If you do not prefer the convertible policy, till the end of the policy term you should have to continue with the same Term plan, you won’t be having the option to switch to another plan.

Group Discussions (GD) - Tips

Group Discussions

Group Discussion or GD as is commonly referred to, is akin to a football game, where one has to shine himself/herself as well as take the team along.

A Group Discussion at a B-School is normally a formal discussion involving ten to 12 participants in a group. They are given a topic. After about 3-4 minutes, during which time they (the participants) collect their thoughts, the group is asked to discuss the topic for 20 to 25 minutes. B-Schools use the GD process to assess a candidate's personality traits.
