Facebook went down on August 1st, 2014

Facebook went down around 11:50 A.M. OR  10:11 P.M. (GMT +5:45) on august 1st. It went down and came back and again went down redirecting its user to this landing page where it clearly states that: Something went wrong.  A lot of users across the countries were affected, however some were still able to access the site.

People are also complaining that facebook is running slow for them. It has been a while when it went down and when it came back people begun experiencing their account of facebook running slow. No any appropriate reasons are stated by Facebook Official however it is rumored that there had been some configuration error in the database or because of malicious attack.

Was it because of a malicious attack?? or was it a configuration or some kind of fb error??

Still more news to come. Stay Tuned.

The new Windows 8 vision with Windows 8.1

Re-blogged from Blogging Windows

Windows 8.1 will advance the bold vision set forward with Windows 8 to deliver the next generation of PCs, tablets, and a range of industry devices, and the experiences customers — both consumers and businesses alike — need and will just expect moving forward. It’s Windows 8 even better. Not only will Windows 8.1 respond to customer feedback, but it will add new features and functionality that advance the touch experience and mobile computing’s potential. Windows 8.1 will deliver improvements and enhancements in key areas like personalization, search, the built-in apps, Windows Store experience, and cloud connectivity. Windows 8.1 will also include big bets for business in areas such as management and security – we’ll have more to say on these next week at TechEd North America. Today, I am happy to share a “first look” at Windows 8.1 and outline some of the improvements, enhancements and changes customers will see.
