A Brief History of Web

As this year(2010) celebrates the 20th anniversary of the World Wide Web, we thought it fitting to reflect on the pioneering efforts of web optimization and the building blocks of our present day web analytics solutions. Here, we unravel a brief timeline of key events in the web analytics industry. These developmental milestones are part of an ongoing collective effort to make the internet a better place for a global community of users.

1990 – The Birth of the World Wide Web

The internet is essentially a constant dialogue of HTML code, flowing back and forth between a web user and a web server. On Christmas Day 1990, Sir Tim Berners-Lee successfully implemented the first dialogue of this kind, creating the internet as we experience it today.

Facebook, Target Online Spam..

Facebook is partnering with the U.S. state of Washington to combat a type of spam called "clickjacking" that is plaguing the social networking site, company and state officials announced.

Two separate lawsuits were filed in federal courts in California and Washington state against Delaware-based Adscend Media LLC, which officials say is behind the spamming.

How to properly secure your iPhone or Android device

A smartphone contains huge amounts of personally identifiable information, and they also happen to be easy to lose. Android and iOS have different ways of going about device security, with Android devices taking a more DIY approach and iOS being more straightforward. There are well-known security practices like PIN and pattern locks, but both platforms let you go further. Whether you just want to keep nosy friends out, or your device contains sensitive business information, here’s what you need to know.

Extend Your Laptop’s Battery Life

Laptops tend to lose their charm quickly when you’re constantly looking for the nearest power outlet to charge up.  How do you keep your battery going for as long as possible?  Here are 15 easy ways to do so.

1. Defrag regularly -  The faster your hard drive does its work – less demand you are going to put on the hard drive and your battery.  Make your hard drive as efficient as possible by defraging it regularly. (but not while it’s on battery of course!) Mac OSX is better built to handle fragmentation so it may not be very applicable for Apple systems.

2. Dim your screen – Most laptops come with the ability to dim your laptop screen.  Some even come with ways to modify CPU and cooling performance.  Cut them down to the lowest level you can tolerate to squeeze out some extra battery juice.

History of Web

Where the web was born

Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist at CERN, invented the World Wide Web (WWW) in 1989. The web was originally conceived and developed to meet the demand for automatic information-sharing between scientists in universities and institutes around the world.

CERN is not an isolated laboratory, but rather a focus for an extensive community that includes more than 10,000 scientists from over 100 countries. Although they typically spend some time on the CERN site, the scientists usually work at universities and national laboratories in their home countries. Good contact is therefore essential.

4G TECHNOLOGY

4G usually refers to fourth generation, which can also be considered as successor to 3G and 2G standard .It describes the higher versions of wireless communication. The sophisticated communication system prevailing today can be redefined using the 4G concepts.It has different meaning in different context,but according to (WWRF) Wireless World Research Forum 4G is a combination of wired and wireless networks in computer,

Web Hosting

Web hosting is a type of service that allows individuals and organizations to make their own website accessible via the Internet. Web Hosting service providers are companies that provide space on a server they own or lease for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. They can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called collocation.

Samsung Galaxy

Samsung Galaxy Tab may come with retina display

Category: Tablet

The new Samsung tablet is believed to have 11.6-inch screen, with a 2,560 x 1,600 resolution.

Samsung is preparing to unveil a new Galaxy Tab with retina display, which is regarded as the best so far. A website, quoting its sources, said that this will be an 11.6 inch tablet with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system running underneath.

USB Cup Warmer

There is nothing quite like a piping hot cup of joe to kick start your day in the morning, and the bane of drinking coffee (apart from its reported side effects, of course) would be the rate at which it becomes cold – making what some deem to be a heaven-sent beverage taste like plastic

New keyboards toggle between your computer and iDevice

Although there are plenty of third-party keyboards available for your iPhone or iPad, most conflict with Apple's minimalist philosophy. Folks who require a full size keyboard for their mobile iDevice must clutter their workspace with a second keyboard alongside their primary computer. Solving that problem, Matias recently unveiled three keyboards that allow you to toggle between your desktop and mobile systems.Priced at $99.95, the Matias "One Keyboard" looks similar enough to your typical rubber dome keyboard with a number pad, media controls on the F keys and the added luxury of a two-port USB 2.0 hub. However, the area above the arrow keys has been gutted to make room for an iPhone cradle. Print screen and other missing buttons exist as secondary keys (the function modifier is positioned left of the arrows).

Google Android Net Books

Net books have always been the enviable gadgets, which gives us the ability stay connected while we are on the move. They are quite appealing and fashionable at the same time. They have grown more in popularity after the release of wireless Internet broadband through the USB ports.

The advent of 3G technology gives us the power to have full fledged wireless broadband connections on portable devices, without having to rely only on the Wi-Fi zones.

The manufacturing companies are introducing some of the most sophisticated net books to meet the requirement of every individual, be it for official purposes or for the gaming purposes.

PC tablet net books are slowly but steadily eating up into the PC market. The hype created over the release of Apple's Ipad has brought about a lot of awareness on this technology. The gadget freaks are lining up to get their hands on some of the latest devices that are being introduced into the market.

Apple A5X

Apple is known for dancing around the speeds and feeds for its products. The Cupertino-based company prefers to speak in more easy to understand terms like, “twice as fast,” or “amazing speeds.” When technical terms do get thrown out, they are usually those that will grab people’s attention; something already weaving its way through the technological zeitgeist. When the new iPad was announced, Apple unveiled the A5X ARM system-on-a-chip (SoC) with it. Apple repeatedly referred to the chip as possessing quad-core graphics, which is an unusual usage of “quad-core.”

As a result of this marketing message, many users have become a little confused about what quad-core means, and if the A5X is a quad-core part in the same way Nvidia’s Tegra 3 is. The fact that Apple specifically called out comparisons to Tegra 3 in the keynote didn’t help that. So let’s take a closer look at what the A5X really is.

What makes an ARM-based SoC useful in mobile devices is that it incorporates multiple vital system elements onto a singe die. Almost all chips contain the application processors (ARM cores), GPU, and memory controller. Other components like cellular radios can also be built in. When we talk about quad-core, we mean quad-core processors, not graphics.

Google Fights Android Malware with Bouncer

Google is beefing up security in the Android app market with its "Bouncer" software, aiming to fight malware and earn back consumer trust as competition with Apple heats up.

Bouncer scans new apps as developers upload them to the market, sweeping for spyware and verifying the developer's account to prevent malicious applications from ever becoming available to users.
