  • Microsoft Solitaire Was Developed by an Intern (Video)
    Microsoft Solitaire Was Developed By An Intern (Video) On May 22, National Solitaire Day recognizes a card game that has been around for more than 200 years. Also known as Klondike, the classic version of the game uses a standard deck of 52 playing cards. The object of the game is to clear the board by creating a stack of cards from low to high in each suit. If the player completes each suit, the game of Solitaire is won. It wasn’t until 1990 when Microsoft included Solitaire in Windows 3.0 that the game truly went viral. Microsoft Solitaire successfully helped teach computer users how to use a mouse and, in the process, ended up becoming one of the most played video games in history. “Over the past 30 years, Microsoft Solitaire has been providing great entertainment to hundreds of millions of players in every corner of the world, and we’re happy to announce that May 22 of each calendar year will officially be designated as National Solitaire Day, recognizing the day Microsoft first included Solitaire in Windows,” says Paul Jensen, Studio Manager for Microsoft Casual Games. Another name for Solitaire is Patience. If you’re going to hit “card games” on Google, the first result would be the game “Patience.” Did you know that this was another name for Solitaire? Most Americans know the game by solitaire but over in England it is popularly known as Patience. Different countries have a different term for the game.

  • Tablets in the Enterprise: Comparing the Total Cost of Ownership
    TABLETS IN THE ENTERPRISE: COMPARING THE TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Windows 8 tablets provide a PC experience, which for many workers is essential to maintaining productivity. With Windows 8, users can run familiar desktop applications, maintaining productivity without having to find new ways to carry out their tasks. They can read, edit, and print their emails and Office documents—tasks that can be a challenge on other tablets. In addition to these productivity advantages, Intel Core i5 processor and Windows 8 tablets can provide enterprises with total cost of ownership (TCO) savings of up to 18 percent compared to other tablets. We expect additional TCO savings with Intel Core vPro™ processor-based tablets due to their additional manageability capabilities. We estimate tablets with Intel Architecture and Windows 8 will have lower TCO than other tablets, primarily due to the following: reduced software costs lower management costs improved end-user productivity JANUARY 2013 A PRINCIPLED TECHNOLOGIES WHITE PAPER Commissioned by Intel Corp. TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP OF TABLETS IN THE ENTERPRISE In this paper, we first present a TCO analysis for a hypothetical enterprise considering four major categories of tablets for their employees: Microsoft Windows 8 tablets, Windows RT tablets, Android tablets, and Apple iPads. Because the ranges of prices and capabilities differ among models within each category, we selected a single representative model for each. Following this analysis, we discuss the dominant issues in enterprise tablet computing as of this writing. We base our TCO analysis on the primary assumptions in Figure 1. Tablets must be nine inches or larger with 64 GB of storage and Wi-Fi support.

  • Klondike Solitaire Solvability
    Klondike Solitaire Solvability Mikko Voima BACHELOR’S THESIS April 2021 Degree Programme in Business Information Systems Option of Game Development ABSTRACT Tampereen ammattikorkeakoulu Tampere University of Applied Sciences Degree Programme in Business Information Systems Option of Game Development VOIMA, MIKKO: Klondike Solitaire Solvability Bachelor's thesis 32 pages, of which appendices 1 page June 2021 Klondike solitaire remains one of the most popular single-player card games, but the exact odds of winning were discovered as late as 2019. The objective of this thesis was to study Klondike solitaire solvability from the game design point of view. The purpose of this thesis was to develop a solitaire prototype and use it as a testbed to study the solvability of Klondike. The theoretical section explores the card game literature and the academic studies on the solvability of Klondike solitaire. Furthermore, Klondike solitaire rule variations and the game mechanics are analysed. In the practical section a Klondike game prototype was developed using Unity game engine. A new fast recursive method was developed which can detect 2.24% of random card configurations as unsolvable without simulating any moves. The study indicates that determining the solvability of Klondike is a computationally complex NP-complete problem. Earlier studies proved empirically that approximately 82% of the card configurations are solvable. The method developed in this thesis could detect over 12% of the unsolvable card configurations without making any moves. The method can be used to narrow the search space of brute-force searches and applied to other problems. Analytical research on Klondike solvability is called for because the optimal strategy is still not known.
