fixing windows 8.com started by former Microsoft employee.

A former Microsoft employee knows there are some major issues in Windows 8 and trying to convince to the Microsoft to address all these issues with the user interface on non-touchscreen devices.
and they launched a website called http://www.fixingwindows8.com
with tag line: Touchscreen + Windows 8: Great! Keyboard/mouse + Windows 8: Hate!

A former techies says"

Windows 8 is a radical leap forward and may be a phenomenal tablet OS. Unfortunately, ~99% of Windows users don’t have a touchscreen. I’m a UX designer and want to help Microsoft improve Windows 8."

some of the issues are:

1. I don’t want to look down to where my hands naturally rest.
2. I don’t want to stretch my arms out to where my eyes naturally look.
3. I don’t want to feel nothing in response to touch.

Until these three issues are resolved, a touchscreen cannot replace the traditional computer.   Microsoft seems insistent on trying to make this happen; the technology is just not there yet.

High security registration plates (HSRP) for new vehicles by April 2012: official

Buying new vehicles!, you need to run on the city roads with high security registration plates (HSRP). The existing vehicles would also have to comply within two years.

A senior Transport Department official said that a schedule is being drawn and each vehicle owner would be given a specific date to visit their respective Regional Transport Office (RTO) for replacing the existing number plates with the HSRP.

The move to introduce the high security registration plates has been under review since 1989. After the Supreme Court criticised the State governments in September last year for the repeated delays in implementation, most of the States floated tenders for the project. The Supreme Court on Friday set a deadline of March 31.

The new high-security plates are expected to be available for around Rs.300.

While the scheme would be implemented throughout the State, a pilot implementation would happen in a few RTOs in Chennai first. Eventually embossing/fixing stations would come up within the premises of all the RTOs and unit offices in the State.

The official said that the number plates would have features such as a laser hologram and a non-removable/non-reusable snap lock to prevent counterfeiting and duplication.

Any attempt to remove or replace the number plate will damage the snap lock making it impossible to install any other number plate in the vehicle.

All plates would also have a unique identification number and can be tracked all across India, the official added. It would also eliminate the problem of fancy number plates.
