1.0 INTRODUCTIONi. Open-source software (OSS) is computer software that is available in source code form:

the source code and certain other rights normally reserved forcopyright holders are

provided under an open-source license that permits users to study, change, improve and

at times also to distribute the software.open source software is very often developed in a

public, collaborative manner. Open-source software is the most prominent example

ofopen-source development and often compared to (technically defined) user-generated

content or (legally defined) open content movements.

ii. Computer hardware is the collection of physical elements that comprisea computersystem. Computer hardware refers to the physical parts or components of

computer such as monitor, keyboard, hard disk, mouse, etc. Refers to objects that you can

actually touch, like disks, disk drives, display screens, keyboards, printers, boards, and

chips. In contrast, software is untouchable. Software exists as ideas, concepts, and

symbols, but it has no substance. A combination of hardware and software forms a usable

computing system.

iii. Computer software, or just software, is a collection ofcomputer programs and

related data that provides the instructions for telling a computerwhat to do and how to do it.

Software refers to one or more computer programs and data held in the storage of the

computer for some reasons. In other words, software is a set ofprograms, procedures,

algorithms and its documentation concerned with the operation of a data processing system.

2.0 The latest open source operating system (os).

2.1 open source is a philosophy, orpragmatic methodologythat promotes free redistributionand access to an end product's design and implementation details. Before the phrase open

source became widely adopted, developers and producers used a variety of phrases to

describe the concept; open source gained hold with the rise of the Internet, and the

attendant need for massive retooling of the computing source code Opening the source

code enabled a self-enhancing diversity of production models, communication paths, and

interactive communities. The open-source software movement was born to describe the

environment that the new copyright, licensing, domain, and consumer issues created

Main article: OS X Mountain Lion

OS X v10.8 "Mountain Lion" was announced on February 16, 2012. It will incorporate some

iCloud.[103] It is scheduled to be released in July 2012.[77] Notification Center, which makes its

debut in Mountain Lion, is a desktop version similar to the one in iOS 5.0 and higher.

Application pop-ups are now concentrated on the corner of the screen, and the Center itself ispulled from the right side of the screen. Mountain Lion also includes more Chinese features

including support forBaidu as an option for Safari search engine, QQ,163.com and 126.com

3.0 The Latest Open Source Application Software.

3.1 Meaning of Open Source Application Software.

Open source application software is computer software that is available in source code

form for which the source code and certain other rights normally reserved for copyright

holders are provided under a software license that permits users to study, change, and

improve the software. Open source licenses often meet the requirements of the Open

Source Definition. Some open source application software is available within the public

domain. Open source application software is very often developed in a public,

collaborative manner. Open source application software is the most prominent example

of open source development and often compared to user-generated content or open

content movements. The term open source application softwareoriginated as part of a

marketing campaign for free application software.

3.2 Examples of Open Source Application Software.

Illustrator CS was the first version to include 3-dimensional capabilities allowing users to

extrude or revolve shapes to create simple 3D objects.

Illustrator CS2 (version 12) was available for both the Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows

operating systems. It was the last version for the Mac which did not run natively on Intel

processors. Among the new features included in Illustrator CS2 were Live Trace, Live Paint, a

control palette and custom workspaces. Live Trace allows for the conversion of bitmap imagery

into vector art and improved upon the previous tracing abilities. Live Paint allows users more

flexibility in applying color to objects, specifically those that overlap. In the same year as the

CS2 release, Adobe Systems announced an agreement to acquire Macromedia in a stock swap

valued at about $3.4 billion and it integrated the companies' operations, networks, and customer-

care organizations shortly thereafter.

4.0 THE LATEST DEVELOPMENT IN ICT

4.1 Hardwarea) 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 Androidsmartphones 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

-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 USB2.0 (note that the MX410 has wireless

connectivity). It has an automatic document

feeder that can fit up to 30 sheets and a 100-
