    BSOD (Blue Screen of Death)

    Definition: Abbreviated as BSOD or BSoD, the Blue Screen of Death is the popularized name for what is technically called a STOP message or STOP error. It's the blue, full screen error that often displays after a serious system crash. The text on the Blue Screen of Death may list any files involved in the crash including any drivers that may have been at fault and often a short, usually cryptic, description of what to do about the problem.

TIPS : Customize the Default Settings of MS Office

This is somewhat difficult to write about. Delivering the message to the reader is somewhat complicated. New users of Microsoft Office may not get my point. But a regular  user of Microsoft Office must understand what I'm talking about. 

What is Default Settings? 

When you open up a new document in MS Word (Suppose Word 2010), you get the followings: 

• Paper Size: Letter (8.5*11)
• Orientation: Portrait
• Font: Calibiri
• Font Size: 11
• Font Style: Regular
• Line Spacing: 1.15
• After Spacing: 10 pt
• Margin: Normal (Top, Bottom, Left, Right: 1")
• And so many . . . 

This is called the default settings Microsoft Word. The settings you get just after opening a program is called the default settings of that program. The developers try to use the most common settings as the default settings. So that most of the users don't need to change the settings frequently. 

But the reality is quite fantastic! Every organization has its own method of working. Every person has his own choice. Naturally we need to modify the default settings of a program. 

Customizing the Default Settings:

To make Microsoft Office more convenient, there is a Set as Default button in some dialogue boxes. When you change default settings from a dialogue box, you can press the Set as Default button to make it default. 

Note: Default Settings varies from version to version. 

Example:

There could be more than 100 dialogue boxes, where you can change the default settings. But you know this is impossible to show the procedure for each window. Here I will just show  one example of customizing the default settings. I would like to show how to customize the default settings of Page Setup window of MS Word 2010: 

1. Run Microsoft Word
2. Go to Page Setup
3. Set up margin as your choice (Suppose 1" for top, bottom, left & right)
4. Choose paper size (Suppose A4) 
5. If you want this settings for all of your documents as default, then press the Set as Default button at the bottom left corner. Press Yes to confirm. 

From now, when you open a new document, you will get the paper size A4, and margin 1" as defualt settings.

• Android is a mobile operating system created by Google that has the capability of being edited by any open-source developer.
• Think of it as the underlying software that instructs your device what to do, much like how the Windows operating system powers laptop and desktop computers.

• However , Android is not just for mobile phones: it is an embedded operating system suitable for any device with a display. Typical applications include medical equipment, test equipment and multimedia consumer devices. 

• Unlike closed systems that depend on one company for innovative new ideas, Android is “open to the public” – people can edit, add, and personalize Android, and Android takes on popular, useful ideas in future versions.
• Android is created with various layers, including Linux Kernel, the Android native libraries, the Android runtime, the Application Framework layer, and the Applications layer.
• Android code is written internally in C/C++, but developers can access them through Java interfaces.
• Developers most often add or edit Android code in the Applications layer.

• Android is an open source operating system — a large community of companies and developers maintain it and contribute toward developing newer versions of it. 
• This all takes place under the auspices of Google, which bought the company (Android, Inc.) that first developed the Android OS.

• Unlike Apple’s iOS operating system for mobile devices, the Android operating system’s ongoing development isn’t hidden behind lock and key.

• In fact, about 80 companies are members of the group — the Open Handset Alliance — that contribute towards the further development of the Android operating system.
• All of this openness allows for innovation from many different sources. 
• This also allows for many different Android devices in all shapes and sizes, which creates a compatibility problem for the app developers. 
• The compatibility issue with Android devices has even got a name: fragmentation.
• Manufacturers can modify the Android operating system as they see fit for their devices. 
• This allows them a way to differentiate their devices from their competitors’ devices, by adding unique features. 
• This also results in different customized versions of Android running on different devices.

An example of this is that mobile phone maker HTC inserts its own HTC Sense user interface into many of its Android phones, whereas Samsung puts its own TouchWiz user interface into its Android devices. 

The following figure shows a couple of screens from the Samsung Epic 4G Android phone.

*********************************************************************************

Architecture of Android

In order to understand how Android works, take a look at given below Figure, which shows the various layers that make up the Android operating system (OS).

The Android OS has four to five layers !

➤ Linux kernel            

• ·       This is the kernel on which Android is based.
• ·       This layer contains all the low-level device drivers for the various hardware components of an Android device.

➤ Libraries                  

• ·       These contain all the code that provides the main features of an Android OS.
• ·       For example, the SQLite library provides database support so that an application can use it for data storage.
• ·       The WebKit library provides functionalities for web browsing.

➤ Android runtime          —

• ·       At the same layer as the libraries, the Android runtime provides a set of corelibraries that enable developers to write Android apps using the Java programming language.
• ·       The Android runtime also includes the Dalvik virtual machine, which enables every Android application to run in its own process, with its own instance of the Dalvik virtual machine (Android applications are compiled into the Dalvik executables).
• ·       Dalvik is a specialized virtual machine designed specifically for Android and optimized for battery-powered mobile devices with limited memory and CPU.

➤Application framework  

• ·       Exposes the various capabilities of the Android OS to application developers so that they can make use of them in their applications.

➤ Applications                    

• ·       At this top layer, you will find applications that ship with the Android device (such as Phone, Contacts, Browser, etc.), as well as applications that you download and install from the Android Market.
• ·       Any applications that you write are located at this layer.
