  PC DOS was an early personal computer OS that featured a command-line interface. Mac OS by  Apple Computer  became the first widespread OS to feature a  graphical user interface . Many of its features such as windows and icons would later become commonplace in GUIs. The first  microcomputers  did not have the capacity or need for the elaborate operating systems that had been developed for mainframes and minis; minimalistic operating systems were developed, often loaded from  ROM  and known as  monitors . One notable early  disk operating system  was  CP/M , which was supported on many early microcomputers and was closely imitated by  Microsoft 's  MS-DOS , which became widely popular as the operating system chosen for the  IBM PC  (IBM's version of it was called IBM DOS or  PC DOS ). In the 1980s, Apple Computer Inc. (now  Apple Inc. ) abandoned its popular  Apple II  series of microcom...

  What is artificial intelligence?   Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming our world. Remarkable surges in AI capabilities have led to a wide range of innovations including autonomous vehicles and connected Internet of Things devices in our homes. AI is even contributing to the development of a brain-controlled robotic arm that can help a paralyzed person feel again through complex direct human-brain interfaces. These new AI-enabled systems are revolutionizing and benefitting nearly all aspects of our society and economy – everything from commerce and healthcare to transportation and cybersecurity. But the development and use of the new technologies it brings are not without technical challenges and risks.  While a number of definitions of artificial intelligence (AI) have surfaced over the last few decades, John McCarthy offers the following definition in this 2004  paper  (PDF, 106 KB) (link resides outside IBM), " It is the science and engineer...

COMPUTER VIRUS A computer virus is a type of malicious software, or malware, that spreads between computers and causes damage to data and software. Computer viruses aim to disrupt systems, cause major operational issues, and result in data loss and leakage. A key thing to know about computer viruses is that they are designed to spread across programs and systems. Computer viruses typically attach to an executable host file, which results in their viral codes executing when a file is opened. The code then spreads from the document or software it is attached to via networks, drives, file-sharing programs, or infected email attachment A multipartite virus uses multiple methods to infect and spread across computers. It will typically remain in the computer’s memory to infect the hard disk, then spread through and infect more drives by altering the content of applications. This results in performance lag and application memory running low. Multipartite viruses can be avoided by not opening ...

Future Phones: What do you think phones will look like   As we gaze into the future using our crystal ball smartphone app, we came up with some predictions about what phones will be like in 2050. But this is just our own idea of what might happen and we want to know what you predict! Share your thoughts with us in our comments section. Forecasting the technological future is tricky at best. Back in the 1980s, the thought of carrying around a small, portable phone seemed to belong in the realm of science fiction. Then in the 1990s, imagining a phone that would allow you to browse the World Wide Web -- something that didn't even exist until 1990 -- was outlandish. Today,  smartphones  can surf the Web, run applications, play games and those with a  near field communication  (NFC) chip can act as a transaction method for purchases. Oh, and they can still make phone calls too. So what will phones look like in 2050? Based upon phone customer behavior, I imagine the f...

Since September 1, 2017, type approval for certain new vehicles has been performed in accordance with the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO 2  emissions. Since September 1, 2018, the WLTP has gradually replaced the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). Due to the more realistic test conditions, the consumption and CO 2  emission values measured are in many cases higher than the values measured according to the NEDC. Additional information about the differences between WLTP and NEDC is available at  www.audi.de/wltp . At the moment, it is still mandatory to communicate the NEDC values. ...

  inventions and creations Creation and invention are two words with which we often confuse. Although very similar, these two words have different meanings that should be emphasized. Creation is an artifact created by someone. An invention is the creation of something in the mind. Works of art are always referred to as creations such as paintings or drawings. Some people are creative and who, even if they see what everyone else sees, think what no one else has thought before. They are innovators who have a new idea in mind and translate that idea into reality, the product that takes shape is called creation. Great artists Michael Angelo and Leonardo Da Vinci created masterpieces that mesmerize people to this day. But the work of art made by them as well as all other famous artists are considered creations and not an invention because they could not be reproduced by others. Something completely new and useful to mankind, on the other hand, is considered an invention such as a steam ...
