    INTRODUCTION
    MEANING OF OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE (OSS)
    Open source software (OSS) is defined as computer software for which the source code
    and certain other rights normally reserved for copyright holders are provided under a
    software license that meets the Open Source Definition or that is in the public domain.
    This permits users to use, change, and improve the software, and tore distribute it in
    modified or unmodified forms.

    MEANING OF HARDWARE
    A computer's hardware consists of the physical components necessary to operate and
    interact with a computer. Since a computer's primary language is binary devices are
    necessary to convert our input into that language. The binary code coming out of the
    computer must also be translated into something usable for operator.

    MEANING OF SOFTWARE
    Software is often divide into two categories:
    1 .System Software:
    Includes the operating system and all the utilities that enables the computer to function.
    2. Application Software:
    Include programs that do real work users. For examples, word processors, spreadsheets,
    and database management system fall under category of application.

    2.0 THE LATEST OPEN SOURCE OPERATING SYSTEM (OS)


    2.1 MEANING OF OPEN SOURCE OS.
    Open Source Operating System is the most important program that runs on a computer
    that is free to use, change, and improve the software, and to redistribute. Its in modified
    or unmodified forms. Every general-purpose computer must have an operating system to
    run other programs. Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input
    from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and
    directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and
    printers.

    2.2 EXAMPLE OF OPEN SOURCE OS


    KUBUNTU LINUX

    A user friendly operating system based on KDE the K desktop Environment. With a
    predictable 6 month release cycle and part of the Ubuntu Project is the GNU/Linux
    distribution for everyone. Improved desktop, updated applications and increased usability
    features are just a few of the surprises with this latest release.

    FEDORA LINUX

    A Linux-based operating system that showcases the latest in free and open sources
    software. Fedora is always free for anyone to use, modify, and distribute. It is built by
    people across the globe who work together as a community: the Fedora Project. The
    Fedora Project is open and anyone is welcomed to join.

    3.0 THE LATEST OPEN SOURCE APPLICATION SOFTWARE


    3.1 MEANING OF OPEN SOURCE APPLICATION SOFTWARE
    Open Source Application Software includes database programs, word processors, and
    spreadsheets and others. It is free to use, change, and improve the software and to
    redistribute it in modified or unmodified forms.

    3.2 EXAMPLE OF OPEN SOURCE APPLICATION SOFTWARE


    WEB BROWSER

    A web browser is a software application for retrieving, presenting, and traversing


    information resources on the World Wide Web. An information resource is identified by
    a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) and may be a web page, image, video, or other piece
    of content. Hyperlinks present in resources enable users easily to navigate their browsers
    to related resources. The major web browsers are Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox,
    Google Chrome, Apple Safari, and Opera.

    SPREADSHEET

    A spreadsheet is a computer application that simulates a paper, accounting worksheet. It


    displays multiple cells usually in a two-dimensional matrix or grid consisting of rows and
    columns. Each cell contains alphanumeric text, numeric values or formulas.

    Canon PIXMA MP280

    Canon PIXMA MX360

    -The Canon PIXMAMP280 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 Android
    smart phones 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. It is currently selling for only $70
    from Canon's website; so keep reading to find
    out if this is the right printer for you. Our
    reviews include an overview of
    specifications, testing results, a summary of
    the build and design, and more

    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 PIXMAMX410. We have already
    reviewed the leading flagship inkjet out of the bunch,
    the PIXMA MX882, and the ink jet 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
    High Speed USB 2.0(note that the MX410 has
    wireless connectivity).It has an automatic document
    feeder that can fit up to 30 sheets and a 100-sheet rear
    feed tray. We tested the MX360 and found that it can
    print up to8 black and white pages per minute under
    the default settings. The MX360 has a list price of
    $79.99; check out our full review below to find out if
    this is the suitable inkjet for your office at that price.

    4.2 SOFTWARE
    Adobe Photoshop Light room 2.0 Beta

    Adobe Photoshop Light room 3.0 Beta

    -Adobe Photoshop Light room 2.0 Beta was


    advertised in official emails from Adobe in April2008.
    New features include: Localized corrections (edit
    specific parts of an image) Improved organization

    control.

    5.0 PERVASIVE COMPUTING


    5.1 MEANING OF PERVASIVE COMPUTING
    Pervasive computing (also called ubiquitous computing) is the growing trend toward bedding
    microprocessors in everyday objects so they can communicate information. The words pervasive
    and ubiquitous mean "existing everywhere." Pervasive computing devices are completely
    connected and constantly available. Pervasive computing relies on the convergence of wireless
    technologies, advanced electronics and the Internet. The goal of researchers working in pervasive
    computing is to create smart products that communicate unobtrusively. The products are
    connected to the Internet and the data they generate is easily available.

    5.2 EXAMPLE OF PERVASIVE COMPUTING


    SMART TV

    Smart TV, which is also sometimes referred to as "Connected TV" or "Hybrid TV", (not to be
    confused with Internet TV, Web TV, or LG electronics upcoming "SMART TV" branded Net
    Cast Entertainment Access devices), is the phrase used to describe the current trend of integration
    of the internet and Web 2.0 features into modern television sets and set-top boxes, as well as the
    technological convergence between computers and the television sets set-top boxes. These new
    devices most often also have a much higher focus on online interactive media, Internet TV, overthe-top content, as well as on-demand streaming media, and less focus on traditional broadcast
    media like previous generations of television sets and set-top boxes always have had. The
    technology that enables Smart TVs is not only incorporated into television sets, but also devices
    such as set-top boxes, Blu-ray players, game consoles, and other companion devices. These devices
    allow viewers to search and find videos, movies, photos and other content on the web, on a local
    cable TV channel, on a satellite TV channel, or stored on a local hard drive.

    GPS

    The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based global navigation satellite system (GNSS)
    that provides location and time information in all weather, anywhere on or near the Earth, where
    there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. It Is maintained by the United
    States government and is freely accessible by anyone with a GPS receiver. The GPS project was
    developed in 1973 to overcome the limitations of previous navigation systems, integrating ideas
    from several predecessors, including a number of classified engineering design studies from the
    1960s. GPS was created and realized by the U.S. Department of Defense (USDOD) and was
    originally run with 24 satellites. It became fully operational in 1994.

    6.0 CONCLUSION
    Open Source can be used by anyone and because it has no copyright claims, so users are free to
    use ,change, and improve the software, and to redistribute it in modified or unmodified forms.
    Pervasive Computing is to make our lives easier because we can interact with computers. Besides
    that, we can easily give the computer commands and the computer will grant your wish.
