Error Microsoft allows pirating Windows 8


Most users of Windows know that Microsoft offers a trial version of its operating system, which can then be renewed, but that access to the final copy should pay some amount of money. Taking advantage of this situation, hackers began offering counterfeit copies of Windows , with which it was necessary to renew the license. To cope, the Redmond company prepared with Windows 8 system more resistant to counterfeiters. But not everything went as expected. According to the website The Verge, Microsoft made ​​a mistake. In late August, some people who had access to the final version of the operating system that allowed use of activation codes from other companies for certain services and so have temporarily Windows 8 . According to reports the site, certain users are allowed to update the Media Center of Windows 8 Pro until January 2013 with a code. The pirates discovered that the code be fully activated copy of Windows 8. Thus, it was possible to download an illegitimate copy of Windows 8 , activate it with false codes and then upgrade to the original version by the Media Center.

Chelsea turns Di Matteo!


Winner of the Champions League last spring on the bench Chelsea, Roberto Di Matteo was sacked by its leaders Wednesday, a day after a heavy defeat against Juventus (0-3), which could deprive the Blues knockout of C1. The downside of too much for the owner Roman Abramovich, who has made great efforts in the transfer market this summer. Roberto Di Matteo will be 262 days that remained at the head of Chelsea. That's five more than his predecessor Andre Villas-Boas, but the technician transalpine probably hoped to last longer on the bench for London club, where he played for a long time as a player (1996 to 2002). The former midfielder, aged 42, had indeed thought to have signed a long-term contract after the coronation obtained Champions League last May, the first in the history of the Blues. But its leaders have decided otherwise after the heavy defeat on Tuesday night on the ground in the same C1 Juventus (0-3). The past performance and team results were not good enough and the Board felt that a change was necessary , "it said in a statement released Wednesday morning on the club's website. I must say that this defeat to Juve is hard to take for the defending champion, who could be deprived of knockout. A win in two weeks at Stamford Bridge against the Danes Nordsjaelland does not suffice to hang them second place in Group E. They should also expect a successful Shakhtar Donetsk on his lawn against Juve.

The same shock as last season?

Given the urgency of the situation, the Chairman Roman Abramovich has decided to cut to the quick. A situation eerily reminiscent of last season, during which the Russian billionaire had not hesitated to land Villas-Boas, replaced by his deputy Di Matteo after a defeat on the lawn of Naples (1-3) in the second round to go. The Blues had managed to turn in extremis steam in the second leg (4-1 after extra time) and continued the journey to the end. The direction of the London club hopes probably like electroshock in a workforce that has changed a lot this summer with the departure of a historic Didier Drogba, great craftsman coronation C1, and the arrival of very talented players, but still young, such as Oscar, Eden Hazard orMarko Marin. If Chelsea, currently third in the Premier League before the receipt of leader Manchester City on Sunday at the 13th day, ten points more than last season in the league at the same time, the Blues are winless in three matches in the league and Abramovich s waiting for him probably better in terms of efforts on the transfer market. The defeat to the Old Lady was probably rushed things, but we expect that the latter had already anticipated before deciding to separate from his eighth coach in nine years. If Pep Guardiola seems determined to extend his sabbatical year,Rafael Benitez has already been contacted by the club of south-west London, according to Sky Sports. Spanish technician has the advantage of knowing the English football, having worn the colors of Liverpool between 2004 and 2010. But there is a disappointing experience with Inter Milan two years ago.
