Windows Phone OS VS Android Phone OS

Windows operating system is the undisputed king in the world of computers. But when it comes to the mobile phones the scenario is not that bright. Windows has to make space for itself in the presence of two giants: i OS and Android

The Windows Phone OS is a relatively new player in the world of mobile handsets. It is approximately two years old in the market, and as far as the mass use of the OS is concerned, it appeared at the Mobile World Congress 2011 with the Nokia handsets, the Lumia series. And with the Nokia Lumia 800 and Nokia Lumia 710. The Windows Phone OS was supposed to take off, but somehow it did not respond accordingly to the high anticipation of the tech world. Let’s find out how and why it lags behind the giant Android.

First and foremost reason is that windows OS does not give a wide range of applications to the user and on the other hand android almost provides the user with the plenty of applications and the plus point is that most of applications are free on android OS.

Second and equally important thing is the Windows OS does not come up with something new all the time, which the users demand at the time of purchasing a handset. And on the other hand the Android new version always comes with new and more applications.

One more thing that needs to be emphasized is that the companies like Nokia, HTC, and even Samsung offer only two or three handsets that run Windows Phone OS which are not stylish and trendy handsets.If we look at Samsung, we find that the Android handsets are far better looking than the Windows phones.

The foresight that Google invests in the Android is commendable, after the super success of the KITKAT 4.4.3 is already planning to unveil the Android 5.0 LOLLIPOP

TYPES OF MOUSE

Different Types of Mouse

The computer mouse functions by the relative motion of mouse and the surface it is kept on.

It is the motion of mouse which is converted into the motion of cursor with the help of sensors.

Over the years, we have seen the dramatic change in the hardware technology of computers. due to which there are many types of mouse. lets take a quick look at different types of mouse. following are the different types of mouse

Mechanical mouse

It is also known as a ball mouse. It has a rubber or metal ball on its underside. when the ball rolls the mechanical sensors detects its motion and sends the signal to CPU and the cursor on  the screen moves. this type of a mouse requires a flat surface or a pad to move on  and work efficiently. one of the defects of the mouse is that it is more prone to attracting dust.

Optomechanical mouse

optomechanical or optic mechanical mouse is same as mechanical mouse except for the sensors. the sensors in mechanical mouse are mechanical and the sensors in this type of mouse are optical. the device is controlled by both mechanical and optical tools . the optical sensors lead this type of mouse to more accuracy.

Laser mouse

Laser mouse are the new generation mouse. these mouse have both light emitter  and light detector. it emits a laser light and the light and the light detector carefully detects the movement of laser light . this types of mouse works efficiently with great accuracy. the laser used in this type of mouse has around 5000 to 6000 dots per inch

Optical mouse

Optical mouse also uses a light emitter and light detector . but, instead of using laser light it uses LED as light emitter . It has lower dots per inch as compared to Laser mouse due to which its accuracy is lower than the laser mouse. user might find it difficult to use this type of mouse on shiny or black surface

 

Blue Track Mouse

It is the next generation mouse introduced by the Microsoft. It is based on a blue track technology that enables the mouse to work efficiently with great accuracy on any kind of surface. The blue beam is a combination of image sensor and pixel geometry. And it is 4 times larger than the laser beam used in the laser mouse. It generates a high contrast picture of the surface for extra ordinary accuracy.

ASCII Code

ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. there are two types of ASCII code. ASCII-7 and ASCII-8. ASCII-7 uses 7 bits to represent a character. And it can represent  128 symbols . ASCII -8 uses 8 bits to represent a character. And it can represent 256 different characters. first 128 symbols in both the ASCII table are same. The first 32 characters in the ASCII-table are unprintable control codes and are used to control peripherals such as printers. Codes 32-127 are common for all the different variations of the ASCII table, they are called printable characters, represent letters, digits, punctuation marks, and a few miscellaneous symbols. You will find almost every character on your keyboard. Character 127 represents the command DEL. And the code from 128-255 are used to represent the Latin symbols . Following is the ASCII table
