Android MOS
Android is now the best operating system. And it is run on Linux V2.6 kernel. Initially,
Android was developed for the digital cameras, then it was mobile-phones, including smart phones and tablets.
Android platform is the developed by Open Handset Alliance, a team of organizations to develop better mobile phones. Google leads this team. And it involves mobile operators like T-Mobile, Sprint Nextel, device handset manufacturers Samsung, Sony and HTC, component manufacturers like Qualcomm and Texas Instruments, software solution and platform providers, and many marketing companies.
HTC dream was first android based device introduced in the market. As the HTC
Dreams releasing date arrived, the android group released SDK V1.0 and applications stared to develop for android platform. for the development of android market, google sponsered Android Developer Chal- lenges, which encouraged people to develop applications. A few months later the HTC
Dream released their smart-phone, the Android Market was released. That allowed users to download applications to phones.

Parse technique
The Parse platform provides the complete back-end for your mobile application. There is no need of writing server code or maintaining the servers. One can save the database on parse cloud and then it can be retrieved as well.
Push notifications are used to notify each user by pushing. In Push, parse library is used. The Parse library provides push notifications using Google Cloud Messaging
(GCM). On devices that do not support GCM, Parse will use a background service that maintains a persistent connection to the Parse cloud to deliver pushes. This allows Parse
Push to work on all devices running Android 2.2 or higher.
There are two ways to send push notifications using parse:-
Channels:- Channels offer a simple and easy to use model for sending pushes. advanced tar-getting:- advanced targeting offers a more powerful and flexible model.
“Ubuntu is probably the most well-known Linux distribution. Ubuntu is based on Debian, but it has its own software repositories. Much of the software in these repositories is synced from Debian’s repositories. The Ubuntu project has a focus on providing a solid desktop (and server) experience, and it isn’t afraid to build its own custom technology to do it. Ubuntu used to use the GNOME 2 desktop environment, but it now uses its own Unity desktop environment. Ubuntu is even building its own Mir graphical server while other distributions are working on the Wayland. Ubuntu is modern without being too bleeding edge. It offers releases every six months, with a more stable LTS (long term support) release every two years. Ubuntu is currently working on expanding the Ubuntu distribution to run on smartphones and tablets (hottogeek).” Ubuntu has a reputation for ease of use, which is why it’s popular on many desktops and servers. Ubuntu also helps users keep up with the latest software versions by releasing updates on a regular schedule. The drawback of frequent updates is that it's harder to keep bugs from slipping into the mix. To this end Ubuntu releases an LTS version periodically, which stands for "Long-Term Support". The LTS version uses package versions that are considered more stable than cutting-edge, making it more suitable for use on a production server than the interim Ubuntu releases. If you're completely lost as to which distribution to run Ubuntu LTS is a safe place to start. Its widespread adoption means there are several forums and sites on the Internet that provide help resources for Ubuntu
The Linux operating system is the catchall term for the dozens of software stacks built around the free and open source Linux kernel. Clumped into distribution...

Lose change was once a necessity when commuting around town. Several years ago, Americans carried lose change in their pockets for the use of communication by pay phones. Pay phones are now obsolete in many parts of the United States due to the boom in telecommunication technology being the cause. This boom has caused a dependency on a small portable device; the cell phone which was once a luxury has now become a necessity. Many cell phone manufacturers have dominated the market but most are now defunct. However, Apple (iOS) and Samsung (Android) are two major players with discussions of the two often being debated today. In a world that thrives around portable devices, Apple dominates the competition; continuously outdoing
That is, one database can be accessed by multiple users or can be shared by many customers and they are partitioned from each other through security model of application instead of virtual server.
The Pros and Cons of Database Replication If business leaders conduct a risk analysis of this decision and consider the implications from the perspective of information security, the notion of centralizing a service in a single location and entrusting that location to provide that service to other, geographically separate locations, is troubling for several reasons. The risks associated with centralizing the database server, with no off-site replication, include degraded performance and a lack of business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities in the event of an unplanned event. Information security concerns itself with three primary tenants: confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Confidentiality, of course, refers to the privacy

Technology has become a huge part of everyday life, and people seem to have one great debate and are fighting over which is the best phone, iPhone or Android. The Apple iPhone is a cellular smartphone that was created and is maintained by Apple Inc. Android is another type of smartphone that is accessible to consumers, but the operating system is powered by Google and many different companies produce Android devices. The different operating systems and interfaces have created a long and carried out debate to which was superior. iPhone is the better phone and there are many reasons as to why it is superior to its rival, Android. The iPhone’s sleek and beautiful design has users’ hands fondling the device and never putting it down. The operating system is very distinct, but is straightforward with its functionality. People who purchase the iPhone believe that they have received their money’s worth and more when owning and iPhone. The iPhone is better than Android when compared because of the beautiful design and attractive display, the operating system and its functionality, and the device’s personal worth is definitely worth the money spent to own one.
Linux has long been one of many operating systems that have been out to prove its worth in all types of environment. It is currently being considered for enterprise network purposes as well as data centers where it implies servers, workstations and any mainframes as needed. Choosing what operating system to use, whether it is open source or not, can be difficult, though. This paper projects the advantages and concerns of choosing an open source solution like Linux as administrators and users are becoming more aware of Linux running on both server and desktop systems. It is quickly being adopted in an ever increasing number of global corporations and government agencies.
Platforms consist of operating systems. A mobile operating system is the software that controls all basic operations. It allows for the installation and execution of apps. Operating systems often have toolkits that allow for the applications to communicate with each other. Android OS is the largest operating system. Android OS uses an open source operating system under Google. While the core operating system is open, other parts are licensed. An Android trademark cannot be used unless it is certified by Google against the Compatibility Definition Document (CDD) (Healey, 2014, Chapter 6, p. 33). Updates to the Android OS are named after desserts (Cupcake, Ice-cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, etc.). Android provides developer tools for creating apps that take advantage of the hardware capabilities available on each device (“Android,” n.d.). The operating system that was developed and distributed by Apple is the iOS. The iOS is derived from Apple’s Mac OS X and is available only on Apple devices (Healey, 2014, Chapter 6, p. 33). It was originally developed for iPhone devices, but is now available on other Apple devices. Windows Phone is a proprietary operating system developed by Microsoft as a replacement to their Windows Mobile Platform (Healey, 2014, Chapter 6, p. 35). Dynamic tiles appear on their home screen as active links to their applications. In 2011, Nokia partnered with Microsoft, announcing that it would make Windows Phone the operating system for their smartphones (Nokia, 2014). Nokia would be replacing their operating system Symbian for the Windows Phone. BlackBerry OS was developed by Research in Motion. It is a proprietary operating system used on the Blackberry handheld devices (“Mobile Operating Systems,...

Both operating systems however diverge from each other in various ways, their question isn’t necessary which one is better but rather what makes them so different. When comparing two operating systems a user should take the following categories in for consideration, cost, user, user interface, usage, file system support, and security. The cost of a Linux operating is completely free versus a windows operating system which can range from prices such as $50.00 to $450.00. Even though Linux operating system is free however according to diffren.com their customer support is available for a
The most important part for smartphone is operation system and which gives the smartphone a “life”. The better operation system can make better features for smartphones. For example,
