The God particle; and things to know about Higgs Boson

God particle is a sub-atomic particle (also known as ‘Higgs Boson’) which is responsible for proving mass of the matter. It is known that the weight of a body depends on the presence of gravitation while the mass always remains same, be it on Earth or any other planet or moon. In this article, I am going to talk on God particle; what is God particle/Higgs Boson and how it was named so. Also, some important results that have been obtained by the continued research and help of ‘The Large Hadron Collider’ can be read here.

What is God Particle? Why the Higgs boson matters?


The God Particle (or Higgs boson) is a sub-atomic particle discovered by CERN, is considered to an important particle responsible for the mass of matter and a building block of the Universe. It is believed to be the mass provider or a strong constituent of matter which contributes in the mass and various other properties of matter (solid, liquid, gas). According to Layman’s theory, a variety of sub-atomic particles play a main role to enrich the matter with different properties.

The Higgs boson was named after the name of Peter Higgs, the man who gave the idea of mass providing sub-atomic particles. The Higgs boson is also known as ‘The God Particle’ on the title of a book ‘The God Particle: If the Universe Is the Answer, What Is the Question?’ by Leon Leaderman and Dick Teresi (a science writer). Leon Leaderman is a Nobel Prize winning physicist who called it an important reason for the existence of Universe. However, its name having ‘God’ does not relate it to any kind of religious matters. It is believed that the secrets of Higgs boson will unfold the mystery of formation of Universe and Life on the Earth.

Text from a public report by CERN on the discovery of Higgs boson (Text source: CERN)

Currently, the research and tests are undergoing to know and understand more about ‘Higgs boson’ with the help of Large Hadron Collider, in Switzerland. What is it? It has been described below…

What is Large Hadron Collider?


The ‘Large Hadron Collider’ is an advanced particle accelerometer planted in border Switzerland and France. Scientists are using the particle accelerometer to reveal and understand more secrets and complexity of ‘The God Particle’. The term ‘Hadron’ stands for the beam of high energy sub-atomic particles which can be protons or lead ions. Two beams of Hadrons are blasted at each-other for collision inside an underground pipeline, known as collider, in order to observe and reveal more about the Higgs boson. These high energy collisions results into the momentary existence of Higgs boson proving it really exists. The scientists from CERN (The European Organization for Nuclear Reasearch) have been working on the ‘Large Hadron Collider’.

Earlier, the American scientists had been using the particle accelator, the Fermalib Tevatron collider located near Batavia, Illinois since years. The Fermalib Tevatron collider was discontinued by the ‘Department of Energy’ due to low budget trouble. The book, ‘The God Particle: If Universe is the answer, what is the question?’ was published in 1993 by Leaderman for the same reason to ask support from the US government and create awareness about the importance of knowing the mysteries of sub-atomic particles and the Universe.

What if Higgs Boson did not exist?


If we believe the scientists, Higgs boson is reason for mass in matter or it is the mass of the matter itself. If Higgs boson did not exist, they may have been only photons and mass-less particles. Everything that existed was supposed to be super speedy as light.

In such a condition, the living species present today on the Earth may not have ever existed. No living species (including Homo sapiens sapiens) or man-made constructions on the Earth may have remained alive or in the state they were built as. In ever simpler words, we can take it as a Universe where the activities expected to happen in a trillion years may have happened in couple of days.

Therefore, Higgs boson is referred as ‘The God Particle’ and is very important for the existence of Life and whatever is present in the Universe or the Space.

Is Higgs boson particle related to time and time travel? Can it take the Earth to an end?


We may think so! Yes, since we have became familiar with the term ‘Higgs boson’, many scientists and physicist have claimed the Higgs boson an element of time or something that may influence time-space curve resulting into a time traveling portal. In 2010, the Large Hadron Collider, which is being used to find and observe the existence of Higgs boson, had been in media for some strange reasons. Why? A differently dressed man, named Eloi Cole, had been caught near the Large Hadron Collider. His dressing was too alien to believe if he was from the present time or a near-by country. He told the physicist and police that he has come from future to stop research undergoing the Large Hadron Collider for the Higgs boson. In his future, the Higgs boson had been successfully found and had changed almost everything in the human world, as said by Mr. Eloi Cole. When he was asked about the country he came from, he replied strangely as he is from a time where countries no exist. He even said, the results of this research will be very harmful and he has come to stop it before the bad happen.

The strangely dressed man ‘from future’, also said that he had visited to our time after the first successful circulation of proton beams in the mouth ring of Large Hadron Collider too. He said himself the reason for the failure in LHC which had taken place after the 9 days of LHC’s first successful testing [Read more about Large Hadron Collider]. He had been here to again put the LHC out of order so that nothing harmless will happen. After his strange answers to Police’s question, he had been to a mental asylum and then another astonishing incident happened. Mr. Eloi Cole, the time traveler disappeared from where he was. Since then, he was never seen or found anywhere, nor does anyone find any records of Mr. Cole anywhere. What will you say on it? Where did the strange man disappear? Cannot it be doubted as Higgs boson and particle acceleration is much more than what we know about it?

It was not the only issue of time travelling; there have been many more people around the globe who claimed they travelled in past or future. A US based lawyer is even fighting his case to prove that he had been sent into time traveling vortices to travel back in time. Basiago, the lawyer has even shown a photo where he has been shot by the camera in a time when he was not born.

Well, all these stories really create a new interest and thirst in us to know more about the mysteries and relation of Higgs boson with the Universe as well as the Time. Whatever be the findings about Higgs boson, we can just wish it will be for the betterment and safety of humanity and our Blue planet.

10 things to know about Large Hadron Collider (LHC), CERN

Large Hadron Collider (also referred as LHC) is a particle accelerator which has been in news for testing and discovery of the metaphorically known ‘The God particle’, the Higgs boson. Let’s know a few things out of many about the Large Hadron Collider in this mini article.

10) The Large Hadron Collider is the largest and highest-energy particle accelerator in the world.

9) It was built and advanced during 1998 to 2008, by CERN (the European Organization for Nuclelar Research).

8) The main aim behind the invention and processing of LHC was to understand and test the predictions made by different theories in particle physics. However, the most targeted aim was to know about the existence of a sub-atomic particle, Higgs boson.


7) The existence of LHC is a result of contributed efforts made by more than ten thousands scientists and hundreds of laboratories and universities played role in the contribution of Large Hardon Collider’s development.

6) It is situated in the border of France and Switzerland, in a pipeline-like tunnel which has a circumference of 17 mi. The 27 kilometers long tunnel is located nearly 574 feet below the ground surface of the Franco-Swiss border close to Geneva, Switzerland.

5) Two beams of either of protons or lead nuclei (also referred as 'Hadrons') are blasted into the pipeline-like tunnel from opposite ends to collide the beams with each-other. The observance and readings received from the collision helps the physicist to understand and test various sub-atomic particles including one referred as ‘The God Particle’.



4) The first successful circulation of beams took place in the main ring LHC, was shown on 18th September, 2008.

3) On 21st October, 2008, the official inauguration of Large Hadron Collider was done by CERN.

2) After its first successful collision, LHC had gone out of order due to a faulty electric connection that had led to several other problems in the LHC. It took over 14 months to in analyzing and using the Large Hadron Collider again.




1) Before the Large Hadron Collider, the Superconducting Collider was the largest hadron collider which was discontinued due to funding issues.

A super shocking to know and remind about LHC

In year 2010, a differently (or 'alienly'?) dressed man named 'Eloi Cole' had been found near the LHC by guards. After questioning, he said "The discovery of the Higgs boson led to limitless power, the elimination of poverty and Kit-Kats for everyone. It is a communist chocolate hellhole and I'm here to stop it from ever happening."

He also told that he is from a time (in future) where countries are no more existing, when asked about the country he came from. Later, if the news has be to believed, when he was sent to mental asylum, he just disappeared like a whoosh!

Now, it is on us to believe it or not. Personally, I do have doubt that he was telling the truth and his time travelling story is a big sign to us that we are on a path to discover and understand more about the Higgs boson. However, the message from the time-traveler leaves us in a question that we are on a path that has a destination, but how right are we going? Will the final discovery of Higgs boson and its working patterns lead the world or us to an end? 

[Recently, the scientists and physicists working on Large Hadron Collider have turned their focus to unfold the mystery of the Dark matter which fills the Universe or Space].

UNICEF’s Sweat Machine turns sweat into drinkable water

Ever thought of drinking/tasting your or a friend’s sweat while thirsty? I guess, ‘NO’. Recently, UNICEF promoted an amazing Sweat Machine which turns perspiration into clean drinkable water. The promotion was a part of campaign organized by UNICEF to create aware about water and how can we save and properly utilize each drop of water.

While it may look a bit insane and yucky to imagine if sweaty water will be introduced in the packed bottles in market, a Swedish engineer has taken the chance to invent a sweat machine that will turn your perspiration liquid into the water we drink.

The sweat machine was presented in the public for the first time during a water scarcity awareness campaign by Unicef, which was held in Sweden.

A photo from UNICEF showing the new Sweat machine that turns sweat/perspiration into drinkable water

The inventor of Sweat machine, Andreas Hammar is an engineer and TV personality based in Sweden. According to the inventor and Unicef, the machine first takes away all the sweat from our sweaty clothes with the help of a spinner, then heating and filtering of the sweating liquid is done in order to remove the impurities after which only the clean water remains in the system.

An estimation made by The United Nations agency reveals that more than 780 million people worldwide fight the unavailability of clean water for drinking and cooking usage.

“It uses a technique called membrane distillation”, said Hammar in ‘The Independent’. Hammar also said, “We use a substance that is a bit like Goretex that only lets steam through but keeps bacteria, salts, clothing fibers and other substance out”.

The machine has been currently set up in Gothenburg where more than a thousand people have already tested and drunk the water processed from sweat.

"They have something similar on the Space Station (International Space Station) to treat astronauts' urine, but our machine was cheaper to build. The amount of water it produces depends on how sweaty the person is, but one person's T-shirt typically produces 10ml, roughly a mouthful.” said Hammar. The inventor also claims that the sweat processed by the sweat machine will be water cleaner than the local tap water.

To promote the campaign, UNICEF offered the Swedish soccer players to have ‘no-more-sweaty’ water taken from their T-Shirts with the help of Sweat machine.

Peter Westberg, Deputy Executive Director (D.E.D.) at UNICEF, Sweden said, “We wanted to raise this subject in a new, playful an engaging way. Our Sweat Machine is a reminder that we all share the same water. We all drink and sweat in the same way, regardless of how we look or what language we speak. Water is everyone's responsibility and concern."

The idea of the inventor to turn sweat into drinking water is highly appreciable. It is a nice small step to fight the bigger clean water scarcity the humans are supposed to suffer in the near future. What do you think friends? Earlier sweaty and salty (and tasty!), the clean drinking water (sweat) may ‘be’ alright to us until it is not extracted from someone else sweat.

Bacterium 'Planococcus haloctyophilus OR1' bacterium from Earth unfolds the signs of Life possible on Mars ‘The Red Planet’

Bacterium from Canadian high Arctic has been found to survive on most downfallen (permafrost) temperatures easily. The frosting temperature on Ellesmere Island, Canadian high Arctic is closely similar to that of the surface of Mars. Hence, this special organism has shown new possibilities of Life on Mars as well as one of the moons of Saturn, Enceladus.

The surface temperature of Mars and Enceladus holds subzero conditions where life cannot be expected, however, this bacterium offered an ease in surviving in conditions similar to subzero conditions, i.e. temperature below -15ºC. The new founding had been made recently by McGill University and their scientists on a bacterium.

The team of researchers did screening of about two hundred different microbes to find the most able microorganisms that may survive in the lowest temperature conditions of the Arctic, and discovered a bacterium ‘Planococcus halocryophilus OR1’ from Ellesmere Island of the Canadian high Arctic.

The team leader, Professor Lyle Whyte from the Department of Natural Resource Sciences at McGill University said, “We believe that this bacterium lives in thin veins of very salty water found within the frozen permafrost on Ellesmere Island”. "The salt in the permafrost brine veins keeps the water from freezing at the ambient permafrost temperature, creating a habitable but very harsh environment. It is not the easiest place to survive, but this organism is capable of remaining active to at least -25ºC in permafrost.” says Lyle Whyte.

The researchers shared, this bacterium is capable of surviving in permafrost and harsh cold conditions, however, such microbes plays a big role in Global warming by releasing carbon dioxide from the melting permafrost.

This picture has been taken from the Internet and does not represent the actual visual description of the 'Planococcus haloctyophilus OR1' bacterium from Canadian High Arctic.
To understand the factor how this Bacterium is capable to such cold conditions, the researchers studied its genome sequence and traits. After studying the molecular traits of the Bacterium, they found some modifications undergoing in its cell structure while adapting to such extremely cold temperature conditions. Also, its enveloping membranes change and provide protection from harsh cold conditions.

The P.halocryophilus bacterium tends to bring increase in the amounts of cold-adapted proteins to survive in permafrost. Prof. Whyte, who led the team of researchers with Nadia Mykytczuk said, “"I'm kind of proud of this bug. It comes from the Canadian High Arctic and is our cold temperature champion, but what we can learn from this microbe may tell us a lot about how similar microbial life may exist elsewhere in the solar system."

The results of this research were shared to the common people some three months ago, to amaze everyone that at least an Earthian, however a bacterium, is capable of surviving on the uneasy and harsh subzero conditions of the Red Planet.

Chinese man Mr. Li claims to have an Alien in his freezer

How do they look? Why do aliens visit the Earth? How they are different from us, and do aliens really exist or it is just a myth? These are a few doubts out of many the human race always has with it. Among all these questions, a Chinese man shared in public some pictures of an alien in his freezer. The alien; whose name is enough to invite us knowing about this news further.

Mr. Li, a local resident of China claims having an alien with him and that too in his home. He has shot a few pictures of an alien whom he had stored in a freezer. Afterwards, Mr. Li posted these pictures on the Internet and made the human race surprised. The pictures had become a matter of attraction and excitement among the social networking sites in China.

According to Mr. Li, he had heard some noise on the roof of his house and he turned vigilant about the same. Then he saw an alien spaceship which was actually a flying saucer of aliens landed on the ground. When this strange looking alien creature came out of the ship, he just somehow took it with him and kept it in a freezer at his home, where he also took a few photograph of the so called ‘ET’ alien creature.

Chinese man Mr. Li claims to have an Alien in his freezer. Pic #5 (Read full post at topicswhatsoever.blogspot.com)

He had seen the view of some UFOs floating in the sky along the Yellow River, Binzhou Shandong province. One of those UFOs had been crashed on the ground at sudden, during March and later he carried the alien guest found after the crash-landing to his home in a rabbit trap, says Mr. Li.

While Mr. Li was claiming to have an alien in his freezer all over the Internet, the police said to the media that the alien founding was completely untrue. The police said the alien creature was only a high quality rubber doll. Was the news of real alien founding a hoax and intentional rumor? We should not really think so… After all, it has not been for the first time when totally clear news and proofs of aliens has been given a U-turn by the Government.

What else can we think on the news?

Earlier than this news, sector 51 has always been remained in rumor (or truth?) of being visited by aliens and their spaceships (the alien spaceship crashing and founding alien dead bodies as well). While we have no proof or direction to prove it right, we should not also forget that government of any country has never let the REAL news about the aliens to be revealed to the common people. Most of the times, their statements to the common people were just like a blanket of ‘No’ over the real truth.

A group of Grey Reptilian Aliens of different sizes (imaginary) [Physiotype of Grey-Reptilian Alien Responsible for Abductions

We cannot say if this time also the dead (or alive) body of that alien was shifted to their secret research laboratory and a rubber doll was put in his place to settle it down. But, when we know that the reality of such news are only known to some very secret alien research base and labs, it is hard to digest that all the rumor about the alien was just a rubber doll in freezer.

Are Extraterrestrials keeping an eye on humans?

This possibility is linked to all the claims made by thousands of people from different part of the World, the alien abduction stories, eye-witnesses of flying saucer and UFO’s as well as the most asked question, ‘Are we alone in the Universe?

[The picture has been taken from the Internet and does not directly belongs to the blog and the author in anyway.]

If any news about alien activities on the Earth is true, we must estimate that their race is intelligent and more technologically advanced than humans. The sight of alien and the crash-landing of flying saucer by Mr. Li may be a test by aliens… The alien captured by Mr. Li maybe a non-living high-quality rubber doll, intentionally sent by the aliens to know what humans will do if they found one of them someday.


[Unfortunately, we cannot make much predictions in Mr. Li’s case, as the police had called it a completely fake news starring Mr. Li and his rubbery alien product and the poor Chinese man had been jailed for his super rubbery alien. How right was the news, only the police, Chinese govt. and the secret keepers know well.]

Childhood Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Is your child at psychological risk?

Childhood Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD is a type of psychological disorder that negative effects on the attention and concentration of children. Symptoms of ADHD are not only a reduced concentration but also the tremendous increase in one’s concentration level. Read this blog carefully to know more of ADHD, its symptoms, mental health effects and a few researches made to find remedies and information about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

Childhood Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD (Read this article at topicswhatsoever.blogspot.com)


A recent research on Attention Hyperactivity Disorder, done by a team of researchers from America has revealed that ADHD can be there in adults also as they grow older. ADHD, in other words, is risk to children and adults as well. It is a kind of disorder which can give birth to several other psychological problems. The patients suffering from Attention Hyperactivity disorder are usually more prone to negative thoughts and even use to commit suicide or hurting themselves physically. They get the thought of killing themselves 5 to 10 times more than a normal human male/female while being in stress or aggression.


The research undergone in Boston Children Hospital of America has put forward this very important revelation to the humanity.

How brain reacts when we focus and concentrate: The mystery of Human brain revealed, says ‘Neuron’.

A team of scientists from Newcastle University has unfolded new secrets of human brain. The team revealed what goes in brain while handling information.

A recently published report in ‘Neuron’ reveals the activity of brain chemicals that help us to deal with relevant information. The team funded by Wellcome Trust and BBSRC shared that we improve out intelligence and perceptual abilities by altering the way how neurons respond to external stimuli.


[“So can we cure mentally ill or retarded patients by working on this information?” – Topics: WhatSoEver]
The scientists said that these changes affect the strength and working of neurons as well as increases the accuracy of brain’s reaction or response over particular information.

The team revealed that the glutamate coupling to NMDA receptors worked to affect the quality and accuracy of a response. The study was made on a primate model to differentiate different mechanisms of brain at the receptor level.

Alex Thiele, Professor of Visual Neuroscience said, “When you communicate with others, you can make yourself better heard by speaking louder or by speaking more clearly. Neurons appear to do similar things when we're paying attention. They send their message more intensely to their partners, which compares to speaking louder. But more importantly, they also increase the fidelity of their message, which compares to speaking more clearly.

"Our earlier work has shown that attention is able to affect the intensity of responses, in effect the loudness, by means of the brain chemical acetylcholine. Now we have shown that the fidelity of the response is altered by a different brain chemical system."

The research had the foundation of their earlier studies and brought up huge revelations about how human work deals with different type of information. Obviously, it can be an order, thoughts, an emotional or unemotional subject and it is really wonderful how brain chemicals and electrical charges alter to process a feedback. This research is expected to be a great step into diagnosing and understanding brain disorders and illness like Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (an attention disorder prone of children as well as adults) and finding better treatments for such disorders.

Female brain versus Male brain

The performance of brain in female is better than that of males; however, the size of brain in human females is much smaller than brain of a human male. A recent research done by universities of Los Angeles has brought up these results about human brains.

Scientifically, the brain of females is 8 times smaller than that brain of males. Traver Robins, the professor of Neuroscience in Cambridge University supports the results of this research. The smaller size of brain in females is a sign of a better packaging of neurons in their brains, says Robins. The close and better packaging of neurons makes the brain work more efficiently than males.

“A human brain has nearly 100 billion and more neurons which make the information flow throughout the brain using chemical and electrical signals.”


This new revelation of human female’s brain is a call that females are nevertheless than males and are capable of doing much more than what males can do at mental level. So, all the human males are warned, do not underestimate the intelligence and mental power of females! J

Therefore, it is the time to go for Windows 8 if your computer meets these minimum requirements. All the computers sold in recent 5 or 8 years may be at ease while those with less RAM or Hard disk or even processor may get their hardware upgraded from authorized computer repair centre. If you are planning to buy a new computer or laptop, you should consider models with equivalent or better specifications than those mentioned in the table above. Most of the new computers/laptops are coming with Windows 8 already installed on it, so you may not even have to buy a copy of Windows 8 from Microsoft.

If you want to taste the new features of Windows at its full, then you must go for a touch screen device.

Microsoft official logo/wallpaper (topicswhatsoever.blogpsot.com)

You may check the current version of Windows running on your computer by right clicking on the ‘My Computer/Computer’ icon on your desktop, followed by clicking on ‘Properties’ from the drop-down menu. If you do not have a ‘Computer’ or ‘My Computer’ icon on your desktop, then go to ‘Start’ button and right click on the ‘Computer’ or ‘My Computer’ options from the drop-up menu. The next window will show the current edition of Windows under ‘Windows edition’ section.

Space-diving suit to swim in the vacuum of the Space

An advanced space-suit is being developed for the space diving adventurers which will change the whole experience of jumping from high altitude of outer space into the Earth’s atmosphere. This futuristic space-suit will let the astronauts float in the space vacuum and bear the searing heat while entering into Earth’s atmosphere without the spaceship.

Juxtopia LLC and Solar System Express of Baltimore Maryland are working together on the RL MARK VI Space diving suit program which will provide the future space travelers the ability to reach at the Earth alive after jumping from Earth’s orbit in case of emergency or thrilling adventurous experiences. At present, it sounds as fictional as the superheroes of fictional movies and comics who are capable of flying from Earth to space in their super heroic costumes and energy balls.

The space-suit offers a safe and pin-point landing of space travelers and space diving adventurers to the ground.

According to the news,  the space divers will be able to receive all the vital information before their eyes using Juxtopia’s augmented reality goggles that will help them successfully navigate their way back to the surface of the planet. Solar System Express’s pair of gyroscopic boots will help the jumper to land safely after going through the upper atmosphere into the thick airy atmosphere using the aerodynamic control.

Juxtopia LLC and Solar System Express have planned to test their model using the traditional parachute jumps from varied heights.

The RL MARK VI space diving model is expected to be available in 2016.

Different versions of Microsoft Windows 8 operating system

Recently, Microsoft released its latest Windows 8 operating system which supports desktops computers, tablets and Smartphone as well. But, do you know which are the four different versions of Windows 8 and how do they differ from each-other? If you are planning to buy a new computer, then now you will be having chance to choose one out of the four different Windows 8 versions.

Microsoft offers four versions as four different flavors of Windows 8. These are Windows RT, Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro, and Windows 8 Enterprise. Of course, I will not include Windows Developers Preview in the main versions of Windows 8, as it was not a complete version but a working dummy of the final product. Below is how these four versions of Windows are different from one another.

Windows RT

This version of Windows has been designed for iPad and tablets, taking long-battery life in mind. Windows RT comes pre-installed on touch-enabled devices like touch screen tablets and laptops; so you can neither install nor buy it separately. Windows RT runs the Start Screen and applications, but has a limited desktop that does not run Windows programs except the ones downloaded from Windows Store. It comes with pre-installed Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote applications.

The OS has the Windows Store app pre-installed from where the users will be able to download various apps to their Windows RT supported devices. As Microsoft’s storefront, Windows Store app will be serving both free and paid apps.

Windows RT has a limited desktop that include Windows File Manager, the Control Panel and other Windows Utilities. To enjoy traditional programs on the Windows RT, we will have to wait them to be released in Windows RT supported versions, however, Windows Store serve a variety of apps which can be downloaded and enjoyed by the users.

Windows RT does support the full desktop, hence saves the power and serves the longest battery life out of the four versions of Windows 8.

Microsoft's new Surface tablet with Windows RT installed (topicswhatsoever.blogspot.com)

Microsoft’s new Surface tablet will come with Windows RT installed, once released.

Windows 8

This is the only version of Windows 8 that is actually titled as ‘Windows 8’. Windows 8 is mainly aimed at home users to enjoy simply amazing features of Windows 8 which everything that is generally used by home users on a Windows running computer. It is more powerful than Windows RT and also serves a fully featured desktop and Start Screen. It supports the traditional programs and apps as previous versions of Windows did.

As it supports a full desktop, it requires more power than Windows RT. Thus, does not serves long lasting battery life as Windows RT.

It does not include pre-installed Microsoft Office programs; however, you can buy/download and install them separately by paying extra money later.

Windows 8 Pro

This version of Windows 8 aims at small business market and home users. It is for such users who want everything in a single version. It includes and supports everything that Windows 8 does plus advanced features such as Remote Desktop, data encryption, virtual hard drives, business management tools and a few other features.

Microsoft’s second version of Surface tablet comes with Windows 8 Pro.

Windows 8 Enterprise

This version of Windows 8 is aimed as large businesses and enterprises and sold only by license to large businesses. Windows 8 Enterprise is similar to Windows 8 Pro supporting all the features of Windows 8 Pro as well as with a few technical programs and business tools. It offers extra networking features to run large networks.

Microsoft is selling its Windows 8 Enterprise version’s license to businesses in bulk at discount.

DVD playback support for Windows 8

As DVD drives are not included in tablets and ultra-thin tablets, neither of Windows 8 versions support DVD playback nor do these include Media Center. Windows RT and Windows 8 users can use apps that offer DVD playback support. Owners of Windows 8 Pro are given a DVD option; they may upgrade to a Media Pack, which offers DVD playback and Media Center app as well. Windows Media Center has a TV-tuner card support and can play as well as record TV programs (shows) as well.

What makes your blog uninteresting to readers?



Have you ever wondered
why your professionally designed blog is not grabbing attention of readers?
 In blogging, only content and search engine
optimization does not help you completely. There are many established blogs
which encounter a sudden downfall in daily visitors of their blog even when it
is being updated regularly.
 In this article, we will
know how other factors influence our blog and play an important role in
increasing and decreasing our readers count.





Below are some most
common mistakes that bloggers should avoid in their blogs.








  • Too less content-






Blogs having very less
content are usually not considered valuable by readers as well as search
engines. Even if search engines value your content, the readers coming to your
blog should be having something to read and spend time with your blog. Think from
reader’s point of view. Would you like to re-visit a blog which updates too
less or uninteresting subjects?





The solution to this
problem is in being a proficient writer. To be a proficient writer you should
develop the art of weaving the information into content interestingly such that
your content reaches the required word limit without making the content
unattractive or boring to the readers.








  • Copied content-






There is a myth in
blogosphere that a blog can be established and accepted for search engine
inclusions and high paying ad programs like Google AdSense by copying and
pasting the articles from famous article directories, but in fact, it is just
like infecting your blog and giving it a stamp of copycat. Such blogs are not
liked by search engines and are often omitted from search result mentioning the
copied content. Original content should be updated to get you blog noticed by
visitors.








  • Too many ads-






Most of the bloggers use
to place ads twice or thrice between the content to increase the chances of it
being clicked by a visitor. But, it is not considered a good practice. More
than one ad box should be avoided in short articles. Remember, the readers are
visiting your blog for valuable content and too many ads may upset them anytime.


The size, color and
placement of ads should be decided carefully or it makes your blog look
unprofessional.








  • Flash content and color selection-






Blogs with a high
percentage of flash content doubles the loading time. Also, the color schemes
used in a blog should not divert the readers from the content. Make your
content readable by choosing the right background color with respect to the
text of your blog. A simple and clean blog with just black colored text on
white background can also attract your visitors to read your content. Remember,
it is not the design of your blog but the content what they are looking for.








  • Too many in-text ads and links-






Having too many in-text
ads or outbound links is not also fruitful. A high percentage of in-text ads
distract the contact between the reader and the content. Remember, you blog is
not Wikipedia to redirect every word into a new page. Think your blog as a
library, and let the readers read for what they have come to your blog.
