#Microsoft Windows 10 Event
To maximize the use of the new operating system “Windows 10” Microsoft has unveiled devices under the #event named Microsoft Windows 10 devices event”
In this Event it has revealed its first ever #laptop and two new brand #smartphones with #Windows10 operating system.
Microsoft’s first laptop, the surface book, built with a detachable screen, sixth generation #Intel processor, 13.5 inch and 12 hours battery back up
Along with its surface book it has show cased 2 new #lumia handsets with windows 10 operating system namely lumia 950 and 950 xl whereas 950 screen size is 5.2 inch Hd screen and 20 mega pixel camera and 950 Xl has 5.7 –inch screen
The main high light of both smart phones can be connected by a small portable display dock accessory into a personal computer. A keyboard or a mouse can be connected, Expanding the capacity of the smart phone to operate like a personal computer

Jim Gray pictured in The Fourth Paradigm
A Few Words About Jim...
Turing award winner and american computer scientist Dr. James
Nicholas “Jim” Gray (born 1944, missing at sea on January 28, 2007)
was esteemed for his groundbreaking work as a programmer, database
expert, engineer, and researcher. He earned his Ph.D. from the Univer-
sity of California, Berkeley, in 1969—becoming the first person to earn a doctorate
in computer science at that institution. He worked at several major high-tech companies, including Bell Labs, IBM Research, Tandem, Digital Equipment Corporation, and finally Microsoft Research in Silicon Valley.
Jim joined Microsoft in 1995 as a Senior Researcher, ultimately becoming a
Technical Fellow and managing the Bay Area Research Center (BARC). His primary research interests were large databases and transaction processing systems.
He had a longstanding interest in scalable computing—building super-servers and
work group systems from commodity software and hardware. His work after 2002
focused on eScience: applying computers to solve data-intensive scientific problems.
This culminated in his vision (with Alex Szalay) of a “fourth paradigm” of science,
a logical progression of earlier, historical phases dominated by experimentation,
theory, and simulation.
Jim pioneered database technology and was among the first to develop the technology used in computerized transactions. His work helped develop e-commerce,
online ticketing, automated teller machines, and deep databases that enable the
success of today’s high-quality modern Internet search engines.
In 1998, he received the ACM A.M. Turing Award, the most prestigious honor in
computer science, for “seminal contributions to database and transaction processing research and technical leadership in system implementation.” He was appointed
an IEEE Fellow in 1982 and also received the IEEE Charles Babbage Award.
His later work in database technology has been used by oceanographers,
geologists, and astronomers. Among his accomplishments at Microsoft were the
TerraServer Web site in collaboration with the U.S. Geological Survey, which paved
the way for modern Internet mapping services, and his work on the Sloan Digital
Sky Survey in conjunction with the Astrophysical Research Consortium (ARC) and
others. Microsoft’s WorldWide Telescope software, based on the latter, is dedicated
to Jim.
“Jim always reached out in two ways—technically and personally,” says David
Vaskevitch, Microsoft’s senior corporate vice president and chief technical officer
in the Platform Technology & Strategy division. “Technically, he was always there
first, pointing out how different the future would be than the present.”
“Many people in our industry, including me, are deeply indebted to Jim for his
intellect, his vision, and his unselfish willingness to be a teacher and a mentor,”
says Mike Olson, vice president of Embedded Technologies at Oracle Corporation.
Adds Shankar Sastry, dean of the College of Engineering at UC Berkeley, “Jim was
a true visionary and leader in this field.”
“Jim’s impact is measured not just in his technical accomplishments, but also in
the numbers of people around the world whose work he inspired,” says Rick Rashid,
senior corporate vice president at Microsoft Research.
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates sums up Jim’s legacy in this way: “The impact of
his thinking is continuing to get people to think in a new way about how data and
software are redefining what it means to do science.”
Such sentiments are frequently heard from the myriad researchers, friends, and
colleagues who interacted with Jim over the years, irrespective of their own prominence and reputation. Known, loved, and respected by so many, Jim Gray needs no
introduction, so instead we dedicate this book to him and the amazing work that
continues in his absence.

Microsoft Surface is a series of tablets designed and marketed by Microsoft. It was announced on June 18, 2012, by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer at Milk Studios in Los Angeles. The Surface comes in two versions: one with Windows RT and another with Windows 8 Pro. The Windows RT model uses an ARM CPU, while the Windows 8 Pro model uses an Intel CPU. Both models are able to install new applications via the Windows Store, however only the Windows 8 Pro model allows the installation of traditional third-party desktop programs.
