1.0    Introduction
          Open source software (OSS) is defined as computer software for which the
source code and certain other rights normally reserved for copyright holders are
provided under a software license that meets the Open Source Definition or that is in
the public domain. This permits users to use, change, and improve the software, and
to redistribute it in modified or unmodified forms.
Meaning of Hardware
           A computer's hardware consists of the physical components necessary to operate and interact with a computer. Since a computer's primary language is binary, devices are necessary to convert our input into that language. The binary code coming out of the computer must also be translated into something usable for the operator.

Meaning of Software
Software is often divided into two categories:
            1. System software: Includes the operating system and all the utilities that
                                              enables the computer to function.
`           2. Application softwareIncludes programs that do real work for users.For example, word processors, spreadsheets, and database management systems fall under the category of applications software.

2.0    The latest open Source Operating System (OS)
     2.1     Meaning of open source OS
        Open Source Operating System is the most important program that runs on
a computer that is free to use, change, and improve the software, and to redistribute it
in modified or unmodified forms. Every general-purpose computer must have an
operating system to run other programs. Operating systems perform basic tasks, such
as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping
track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such
as disk drives and printers.

       2.2   Example of open source OS
a)Dream Linux
     DreamLinux is a modern and modular Linux system that can be run directly from the CD and optionally be easily installed onto your HD. Dreamlinux comes with a selection of the best applications designed to meet mostly of your daily needs. It is based on Debian and Morphix, which means it takes advantages of their best features and adds its own modern development tools.
b)Haiku
      Haiku is an open-source operating system currently in development designed from the ground up for desktop computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku aims to provide users of all levels with a personal computing experience that is simple yet powerful, and free of any unnecessary complexities. Haiku is developed mostly by volunteers around the world in their spare time.


3.0    The Latest Open Source Application Software
      3.1     Meaning of open source application software
     Open Source Application Software includes database programs, word processors, and spreadsheets and others. It is free to use, change, and improve the software, and to redistribute it in modified or unmodified forms.

      3.2   Example of open source application software
    a)Web Browser

*Mozilla Firefox
            web browser is a software application for retrieving, presenting, and traversing information resources on the World Wide Web. An information resourceis identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) and may be a web page, image, video, or other piece of content. Hyperlinks present in resources enable users easily to navigate their browsers to related resources. The major web browsers are Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Apple Safari, and Opera.
   b)Gnome
    GNOME Office empowers you with three "best in class" productivity applications available as GNU Free Software. The times of wrestling with file formats, compatibility, and 'halfway-there' features is over. The AbiWord word processor, Gnumeric spreadsheet, and Gnome-DB data access components allow you to get it done now.
4.0    The Latest Development In ICT
      4.1    Hardware

a) Canon Pixma MP280


b) Canon Pixma MX360

    -The Canon Pixma MP280 is an entry level all-in-one printer, scanner, and copier with enhanced photo printing capabilities. It was the budget-friendly model out of its line of eight photo printers released by Canon in 2010. Taking on the new Pixma photo printer look, it features a simple glossy black design with silver accents just like the previously reviewed sister product, the Canon Pixma MP495. Canon has included Full HD Movie Print and photo editing software, as well as the Easy Photo Print app for Android smartphones in the package.Moreover, this photo all-in-one offers high color resolution color photo capabilities with a maximum of 4800 x 1200 dpi and is Energy Star certified. It is currently selling for only $70 from Canon's website; so keep reading to find out if this is the right printer for you. Our reviews include an overview of specifications, testing results, a summary of the build and design, and more.
-The Canon Pixma MX360 was first introduced by Canon in January during CES 2011. It is an entry level model designed for small office/home office use, alongside the Pixma MX410. We have already reviewed the leading flagship inkjet out of the bunch, the Pixma MX882, and the inkjet that is one step down from it, the Pixma MX420. Now we will take a look at the MX360. This four-in-one can print, scan, copy, and fax and connects to a computer via HighSpeed USB 2.0 (note that the MX410 has wireless connectivity). It has an automatic document feeder that can fit up to 30 sheets and a 100-sheet rear feed tray. We tested the MX360 and found that it can print up to 8 black and white pages per minute under the default settings. The MX360 has a list price of $79.99; check out our full review below to find out if this is the suitable inkjet for your office at that price.


4.2     Software
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.0
 Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3.0
  -Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.0 Beta was advertised in official emails from Adobe in April 2008. New features include:
         Localized corrections (edit specific parts of an image)
                     * Improved organization tools
                     * Multiple monitor support
                     * Flexible printing options
                     * 64-bit support
The official release of Lightroom v2 was on July 29, 2008, along with the release of Adobe Camera Raw v4.5 and DNG Converter 4.5. Adobe has added DNG Camera Profiling to both releases. This technology allows custom camera colour profiles, or looks, to be created by the user and saved. It also allows profiles matching the creative styles built in to cameras to be replicated. Adobe released a complete set of such Camera Profiles for Nikon and Canon models, in addition to basic Standard Profiles for all supported makes and models, through Adobe Labs, at the same time as the Lightroom v2 release. This technology is open to all programs compliant with the DNG file format standard.

-Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3.0 beta was released on October 22, 2009. New features include:
                  * New chroma noise reduction
                     * Improved sharpening tool
                     * New import pseudo module
                     * Watermarking
                     * Grain
                     * Publish services
                     * Custom package for print
On March 23, 2010, Adobe released a second beta, which added the following features:
               *      New luminance noise reduction
               *    Tethered shooting for selected  Nikon and Canon cameras
                 *    Basic video file support
                 *   Point curve
Although not included in any beta release, version 3 also contains built-in lens correction and perspective control.


5.0      Pervasive Computing
      5.1    Meaning of pervasive computing
      Pervasive computing (also called ubiquitous computing) is the growing trend towards embedding microprocessors in everyday objects so they can communicate information.  The words pervasive and ubiquitous mean "existing everywhere." Pervasive computing devices are completely connected and constantly available. 
      Pervasive computing relies on the convergence of  wireless technologies, advanced electronics and the Internet. The goal of researchers working in pervasive computing is to create smart products that communicate unobtrusively. The products are connected to the Internet and the data they generate is easily available.
  

5.2    Examples of pervasive computin
*ASUS Eee Pad 101TC
    The Eee Pad 101TC is in some respects a whole different kettle of fish to its bigger brother. It's not just the 10 inches of glass that follows in the iPad's footsteps, but also the metal sleeve around the edge now. Either way, this has become an aesthetically acceptable style and the textured backside also looks good and adds grip, however in the early sample on show the quality of manufacture still needs some tweaking around the edges.
* Smart TV
*Samsung Smart TV
            Smart TV, which is also sometimes referred to as "Connected TV" or "Hybrid TV", (not to be confused with Internet TV, Web TV, or LG Electronics's upcoming "SMART TV" branded NetCast Entertainment Access devices), is the phrase used to describe the current trend of integration of the internet and Web 2.0 features into modern television sets and set-top boxes, as well as the technological convergence between computers and these television sets /set-top boxes. These new devices most often also have a much higher focus on online interactive media, Internet TV, over-the-top content, as well as on-demand streaming media, and less focus on traditional broadcast media like previous generations of television sets and set-top boxes always have had.
            The technology that enables Smart TVs is not only incorporated into television sets, but also devices such as set-top boxes, Blu-ray players, game consoles, and other companion devices. These devices allow viewers to search and find videos, movies, photos and other content on the web, on a local cable TV channel, on a satellite TV channel, or stored on a local hard drive.

6.0      Conclusion
       Open Source can be used by anyone and because it has no copyright claims, so users are free to use, change, and improve the software, and to redistribute it in modified or unmodified forms. Pervasive Computing is to make our lives easier because we can interact with computers. Besides that, we can easily give the computer commands and the computer will grant your wish.
