Overview:

The New Apple’s Mac OS X Snow Leopard is available for Market from 28th August, 2009. The main features are Stylish Layout, Best performance about to wake-up & shutdown, Minimum Hardware requirements, and more performance enhancements

How Snow Leopard is better for Mac OS X?

iChat Theater now offers 640-by-480 resolution, four times greater than before.

Operating System Services are more simplified, streamlined, and helpful.

Automatic update of Timezone as well as Printer Component Driver Updates.

Safari 4 delivers up to 50 percent faster JavaScript performance^. In addition, Safari is even more resistant to crashes. It turns out that the number one cause of crashes in Mac OS X is browser plug-ins. So New Safari is redesigned  to make plug-ins run separately,  if a plug-in crashes on a web page, Safari will keep running.

64-bit Transition

The computing industry is radically moving from 32-bit to 64-bit technology, and it’s easy to see why.  The New Mac computers can hold up to 32GB of physical memory, but the 32-bit applications that run on them can address only 4GB of RAM at a time. 64-bit computing shatters that barrier by enabling applications to address a theoretical 16 billion gigabytes

It ensures 32bit compatibility for your 64bit system.

Core Processor Processing Feature

Mac OS X Snow Leopard, making it easier for all kinds of applications to take better advantage of multicore processors.

xCode Feature for Developers

The Xcode debugger and Instruments performance analysis tool to get insights into GCD at runtime. These tools make it possible to quickly inspect any GCD work queue, even down to a specific block of executing code, giving developers a complete understanding of their application as GCD efficiently assigns tasks to each available core.

Tech Mahindra

Tech Mahindra was the highest bidder for Satyam, with a 58 rupee($1.16)  per share bid, for 31 percent of the company, Satyam said on Monday.

The offer beats a bid from the Indian engineering firm Larsen & Toubro, which already owns a 12 percent stake in Satyam.

Tech Mahindra, is a joint venture between British Telecom and the Indian conglomerate Mahindra & Mahindra, stands to win control of Satyam Computer Services after a bid that values the fraud-damaged company at $1.2 billion. Tech Mahindra will later make an offer for an additional 20 percent of Satyam’s shares on the open market, which will give it a controlling stake price.

Satyam’s board chairman said, “The selection of the highest bidder, in a fair, open and transparent process, signals a new stage for the company in its progress towards stabilization and growth”.

The American vulture investor Wilbur Ross and Cognizant Technologies also did due diligence on Satyam, though was unclear if they made a bid for the company.

Satyam was one of the India’s largest Information Technology(IT) companies, with more than 50,000 employees and a market capitalization of over $7 billion, before one of the company’s founders said in January he had faked about $1 billion in cash and inflated the company’s operating margins.

Satyam serves as the back office and information technology provider for hundreds of the world’s largest companies, including Nestlé and General Electric. The Indian government took control of the company and pushed through a quick sale, in order to prevent losses in the country’s $71 billion outsourcing industry.

Indian investigators have since said that more than a dozen people in the company’s finance department were involved in the fraud, including a team who churned out fake invoices and bank statements.

Satyam

Tech Mahindra, which provides Information Technology services to the telecom industry, has less than half the workforce of Satyam. The deal would bring Tech Mahindra business in new industries from manufacturing to financial services.

Tech Mahindra closed at Rs 359.45, up by 12.31 per cent on the Bombay Stock Exchange today.

Anyway the new revolution is made on Satyam Company may reflect a possitive solution to its Client as well as Employees.
