As our readers will know, Windows 8 Developer Preview was released yesterday. This version of Windows 8, as suggested by the name, is meant for developers who wish to develop Windows 8 apps in the future. It is not the complete version of the OS that will be released sometime in 2012.
Microsoft took the veil off Windows 8 officially this Tuesday along also seeded the first Developer Preview to public and gained massive attraction.

Android enthusiasts will know that the camera on Samsung’s Galaxy S II superphone is widely considered to have the best optics in the smartphone market today.

The iOS jailbreaking community is, I personally believe, the most active mobile OS hacking community today. The community itself is pretty small, but they are pretty productive and regularly release jailbreaks (untethered or otherwise), exciting new tweaks on Cydia and amazing themes. This may be due to the fact that iOS works only on a handful of devices, but the fact is: these guys are simply amazing.
