The Linux-based operating system designed for mobile phones is Android. Developed by the Open Handset Alliance, which includes various companies led by Google, Android is an open-source platform that allows developers to create applications for a wide range of devices. It has become one of the most widely used mobile operating systems globally, powering smartphones, tablets, and other smart devices.

YES.

An operating system is a software that supports the basic functions of a computer. It is used in resource management, data management, task management, controlling peripherals and executing applications.

buy speakers or get a getter soundcard, this may not help, but i amplify my music with Wavepad sound editor, so they play louder. But for dvds and external media, the only solution after you have raised your volume to the max, is as i said before, speakers or a better soundcard

Depending on your Blackberry device, you can choose the OS. To do so

1.control programs

2.sytem service programs

3.utility programs

Single-tasking allows all the resources of a system to be devoted to that single task.

all of the above

1. The major difference between the system Clipboard and Office clipboard is that the system Clipboard can retain only the most recently copy-pasted item (meaning it will replace the previous item when you copy a new one), but the Office clipboard will retain the last 24 items copied.

The traditional computer is a Desktop PC, with a monitor, keyboard and mouse. Also, some sort of internet connection.

Today, DOS is more historically important than anything.

DOS laid the foundation for the IBM PC to emerge in the PC market that at the time was still suffering from a total OS/platform/architecture war. It standardized soem technology in PCs such as the BIOS... however over the past couple of decades the BIOS has been rendered largely irrelevant to any processes on PCs for anythign beyond booting the system, and the past decade saw efforts to completely replace the BIOS with extensible firmware (UEFI).

So what makes DOS historically "important" is because it ended up allowing us to have PCs as we know them today, though only to a point. DOS's capabilities are limited without a lot of outside help, and even then DOS just can't really compare to any operating system with a genuine kernel at the core.

I would have to say that windows mobile is the best but for you apple lovers I would says iOS 4 for iPhone.

Eli Whitney (December 8, 1765 - January 8, 1825) was an American inventor best known as the inventor of the cotton gin. He is also known for creating and promoting the idea of interchangeable parts for the manufacture of firearms.
It wasn't a development as much as common sense. Parts designed for one item are used on another because it did not require any new engineering.

True

Time-sharing and multiprogramming have various differences. However, these two environments share the feature whereby several users can use the system at the same time.

The operating system is loaded into the computers internal memory (RAM) at start-up.

The operating system needs to 'reserve' chunks of memory to enable it to perform its functions swiftly and accurately. If a computer doesn't have enough RAM, the computer cannot run the operating system efficiently, often using empty hard-disk space - which slows down the computer.

Once the CPU has been allocated to a process, the process keeps the CPU until it releases the CPU either by terminating or by switching to the waiting state. In a general purpose computer system, users share the CPU and care about system responsiveness. If the system uses non-preemptive scheduling, some users may sit before the monitor for several hours without doing anything other than waiting for the set of processes in front of them in the system queue to finish. So, strictly non-preemptive scheduling is unlikely to be used in a general purpose computer system.

CLI is Command Line Interface

GUI is Graphical User Interface

CLI - You type commands into a prompt and the computer executes them.

GUI - You use a graphical interface and make selections with the mouse and the computer executes them.

CLI example: MS-DOS

GUI example: MS Windows XP

it gets a bunch of people to carry it there
