Windows 8 No Need Upgrade Computer

WIndows 8 Home Screen


Microsoft has introduced a preview newest operating system, Windows 8. Good news for users of Windows 7 that want to upgrade. Microsoft said users of Windows 7 does not need a higher hardware specification to run Windows 8.

"Windows 8 will be able to run on multiple machines because it has system requirements that equal or lower than Windows 7," said Michael Angiulo from Microsoft.

Windows 8 itself is said not only intended for a computer, but also focus developed for tablet devices. Interface Windows 8 is quite similar to Windows OS Phone 7, which optimized for touch navigation.

In addition to having the hardware requirements are similar to Windows 7, Windows 8 is claimed to have no trouble running Windows applications 7. All this seems expected to make the adoption of Windows 8 will grow rapidly as users of Windows 7 does not need the hassle.

Windows 8 plan would be released in 2012 and is expected to Microsoft's success as its predecessors. Similarly, as reported by PCMag and quoted on Saturday

Saqqara Bird


In 1898, an ancient artifact made ​​of sycamore wood found in a tomb in Saqqara, Egypt. These artifacts are thought to originate from the year 200 BC. But, what is interesting about this object is the fact that he has a shape like an airplane or glider.

The length of this object about 15 cm by 18 cm wingspan. He even has a tail like a plane.

When found, these artifacts and then cataloged as a model of a bird and left to the dusty basement of the Cairo museum until 1969 when it was discovered by Dr. Khalil Messiha. Copy the artifact was then on display in the Cairo Museum and attracted the attention of researchers. Since then, several artifacts have been found again. This discovery is considered important by the Egyptian government that they create a committee to examine it further.

Because of its characteristics are shaped like that, these artifacts came to be called as a Saqqara Bird or  Saqqara Glider.

In 1991, Dr.Messiha published a paper titled "African Experimental Aeronautic: A 2000 Years Old Model Glider" which contains his theory about the Saqqara Bird. He believes that this artifact is an indisputable proof that the Ancient Egyptians had aerodynamic technology.

Dr.Messiha theory quite interesting to note because this theory supports the supposition that in the past our ancestors had actually had a pretty high tech.

THE COSO ARTEFACT


During 1961 three rock collectors; Wallace Lane, Virginia Maxey and Mike Mikesell were hunting for geodes near the town of Olancha in the state of California when they discovered a potential specimen that would stimulate more than five decades of controversy.  While cutting through the geode they discovered that instead of the normal cluster of crystals they expected to find they discovered a white ceramic cylinder that had a central iron core that was surrounded by an accretion of rust coloured stone.  A faint hexagonal discolouring of the surrounding material could also be made out with the naked eye.  According to Ms. Maxey the artifact was examined by an experienced geologist who stated that material surrounding the cylinder was at least 500,000 years old.

1920's technology in the form of a spark plug encased in a 500,000 year old stone geode. This is the Coso Artifact - real mystery or mistaken analysis?

X-rays of the Coso Artifact revealed further metal components that several independent experts have identified as parts of a 1920’s spark plug or something similar.  If the item is a genuine “Out of Place Artifact” then it throws our understanding of history into total disarray.  Today the Coso Artifact has been largely discredited for three reasons.  Firstly, iron objects that are exposed to rain and the correct type of sandy soil or clay can quite quickly build a concretion of rust that appears very much like sandstone.  Secondly, the artifact has disappeared. It may still be in the possession of one of the surviving discoverers but according to various sources they are no longer prepared to discuss the matter.  Thirdly, the identity of the geologist who dated the Coso Artifact has never been revealed.  We’ve only included this item in our list because of the persistent interest in the discovery and the ongoing conspiracy theory that the Item was confiscated by the US Government and a gagging order placed on those that found it.

THE BAALBEK MEGALITHS



Located at Baalbek in Lebanon are the largest megalithic stones ever carved from the “living” rock of a quarry. Often referred to as Cyclopean, they range in size and mass but the most sizeable is estimated to weigh nearly 1,300 tons and lies unused.  It seems that thousands of years ago they were shaped into gigantic rectangles and moved over a kilometer to be used in the early construction of the Baalbek Archeological Complex which was expanded during the Roman period when the town was known as Heliopolis (City of the Sun).  They are not merely foundation stones as it is quite clear that they rest on a deeper layer of smaller, but still very large, blocks.  These massive units each weighing approximately 750 tons were built into the western retaining wall of the plaza and are known as the Trilithon.

The precision with which these megaliths have been carved is incredible and would be nearly impossible to achieve even today.  How they were moved and placed within the construction of the greater Baal-Jupiter (Zeus) Temple plaza remains unexplained.  Over the years various experiments have taken place that show that while it is possible for vast numbers of men with levers and rollers to move large building stones of up to 300 tons for short distances these megaliths are more than twice as large.  The size of the largest megalith and the fact that moving it even with modern technology would be extremely difficult does suggest that the ancient civilizations may well have had more advanced technology than we currently believe.  Still, what that technology was and how it worked will have to remain a mystery for now.
