Total Weather Insurance
Nov 9th
First and foremost, our team had contacted The Climate Corporation few days back to get some info about Climate Corporation and we had spoke to one of the team and was glad to chat with them, before we start we would like to introduce this technology company that was formerly WeatherBill, The Climate Corporation are using their technology backgrounds to help people and businesses adapt to the problems of climate change. They’re at the forefront of a new and fast growing industry – one of those rare companies where cloud and big data expertise are being applied to solving real-world issues.
One of the solutions is Total Weather Insurance (TWI), that is the only full-season insurance program that enables you to lock in profits by insuring against bad weather that can cause yield shortfalls. TWI is powered by Farm-Level Optimizer™, which dynamically determines the weather conditions that can make or break an individual grower’s yields based on crop, location and soil type, and then automatically optimizes full-season weather protection for that grower’s farm.
Total Weather Insurance policies have no claims process, no paperwork, and no waiting for payment. If bad weather happens, you are paid automatically. And TWI works with your cash flow by not requiring any premium payment until the end of the 2012 crop year. With TWI you can manage your production with more profit certainty, giving you greater financial stability and peace of mind. Watch some of the grower profiles video below by The Climate Corporation. Hope you can learn something from this article.
Microsoft unveils its new Windows 8 OS
Sep 15th
Windows 8 is designed to run on tablet computers, as well as desktop and laptop PCs.
The software, which is due to be released in 2012 will work on the popular ARM-designed low power processors for the first time.
Microsoft has been under pressure to come up with an answer to Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android platforms.
Unveiling Windows 8 at the Build developers’ conference in California, Windows division president Steven Sinofsky declared: “We re-imagined Windows. From the chipset to the user experience.”
The system will function through one of two interfaces; a traditional desktop, similar to that seen in previous editions of Windows, and a tablet version, known as Metro.
Metro features larger, chunky controls of the sort that best suit touchscreen use. The current lack of such an input method is widely seen as the reason why few Windows 7 tablets exist.
Microsoft said that it would also be launching its own online marketplace – the Windows Store – to sell downloadable applications.
Chip changes
One of the biggest innovations for Windows 8 will be its compatibility with processors designed by ARM holdings.
Chips based around the ARM architecture typically use very little power, and as a result are found in the vast majority of smartphones and tablets currently available.
To date, Windows devices have required Intel or Intel-compatible processors, with the exception of Microsoft’s Windows Phone range.
ARM chips are likely to be predominantly used on Windows 8 Metro devices, and will require ARM-specific versions of applications.
The company has not given details on the chips that will be integrated into desktop and laptop machines. Tapping into any section of the Windows market will be seen as a huge boost for Cambridge-based ARM Holdings.
The company faces growing competition in the mobile device sector since Intel launched its tablet and smartphone-focused Oak Trail chipset in April 2011. Tapping into that particular market is seen as vital for hardware manufacturers, and software-makers, such as Microsoft, as the market for traditional computers continues to be eroded.
Industry analysts Gartner predicted in April that the global market for tablets would reach 70 million this year, and grow to 300 million in 2015. Sales of desktops and laptops are expected to continue growing, but at a much slower rate than in the past.
