Califiornia Internet Tax

2009-04-27T14:37:00.000-07:00

The California internet tax was re-introduce recently. We all thought we were safe from taxes on Internet downloads of music, cell phone ring tones, software and movies, the controversial proposal has been reintroduced in the California legislature.

“Taxation will artifically increase costs, increase the burden on companies to comply with the taxation procedures, make California even less competitive and may force companies to move their operations offshore, causing futher job losses,” said Jack Bicer, CEO of Septium Corp., an Irvine custome Web software developer and president of TechBiz Connection, one of the largest technology organizations in Southern California.

North Korea 0-3

2009-04-06T18:06:00.000-07:00

Well this is a bit off topic, but if you didn't already know, North Korea as built and launched yet another missile. (Their third to be exact) The missile had 3 stages. The firs stage fell and landed in the Japan sea, (as expected) the second one landed and fell into the pacific (Off Coarse). And the last stage that was actually supposed to be a satellite fell near the second stage. But the government, "says" to their people, it was a successful launch, and the satellite orbits singing the songs of Kim iL-sung and Kim Jong Kim Jong-iL

http://www.itweet.net

It is a twitter interface, web based app. So you don't have to download anything.
It Shortens up tweeting dramatically, and makes everything much more accessible.
Don't take my word for it. (I've Always wanted to say that)

Why use another web twitter site- Itweet adds a lot of functionality to the twitter Interface adds much more stats, buttons , and convenient place for links and even having a click down for “Symbols ” etc.

Website Traffic

2009-04-03T00:57:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, Want Website Traffic Use This http://www.trafficswarm.com/go.cgi?919151

And with this id like to get into traffic generating. First off id like to inform you, that there is no one thing that will generate traffic, and if there is please let me know. It requires two things. Time and dedication. First of all, is content. A lot of people don't realize that generating traffic inst completely based on getting people to come to your site, but rather getting them to stay, and come back. If your site is a poor quality site then they most likely will not bother coming back. Also a big factor is referring. If your website appeals to the viewer enough they may recommend it to their friends.
You should also try get people to come yourself, I mean whats a good site if no one sees it. For example the link above.
Well I am very tired right now comment with any questions.

Google Chrome

2008-09-02T19:25:00.000-07:00

well as many of you might know the chrome beta was released sometime ago, i recently downloaded, and installed it. It is a good browser i suppose, for a beta. No browser has actually peaked my interest enough to actually have me considering switching from Mozilla Firefox or at least using them both until now. It has a very stream line user interface.
I Noticed some key things that I thought were worth mentioning. Well as i mentioned above it is streamline and some of the things you'd see in other browsers such as, File Edit History Bookmarks etc. are not there but everything is accessible through 2 drop down menus. Also unlike other browsers when opening a new tab in chrome it uses something (im sorry but i forgot the name, it was mentioned in the conference.) But what it does is kind make each tab its own process. so when ever a page in a tab freezes the whole browser doesn't crash, and close, but only that tab crashes. And when a tab crashes the other tabs work as if there is nothing wrong.
I would also like to mention that chrome is very open source, but i haven't had a chance to fiddle with that. Well Thats all i have to say. Thank You

google chrome !!

2008-09-02T14:59:00.000-07:00

So, im gonna go check out the new browser.

Microsoft readying apps store for Windows Mobile?: Cnet

2008-08-31T18:39:00.000-07:00

It looks as though Microsoft is joining Apple and Google in the mobile "apps store" market.

It appears the software giant expects to launch an applications store called "Skymarket" this fall for its Windows Mobile platform, if a recent job posting spotted by Long Zheng at Istartedsomething.com is accurate. According to the ad posted Sunday on Computerjob.com, the Skymarket senior product manager will head a team that will "drive the launch of a v1 marketplace service for Windows Mobile."

(Credit: Microsoft)

Among the key responsibilities, according to the ad:

• Definition of the product offering, pricing, business model and policies that will make the Windows Mobile marketplace "the place to be" for developers wishing to distribute and monetize their Windows Mobile applications

• Responsibility for the business model and key elements that will drive the optimal experience for developers and monetization of the service by Microsoft

• Preparation and driving the cross group collaboration for the initial launch of the marketplace offering to the developer community this fall

• Preparation and driving the cross group collaboration with stakeholders in the commercial launch of the marketplace service with the launch of WM 7

Microsoft representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Windows Mobile is a software operating system used on smartphones. Smartphones, which offer e-mail, Web surfing, music, and other Internet services, are growing in popularity. Smartphone sales increased to 19 percent of all mobile-phone sales in the second quarter, a 9 percent increase from the same period a year ago, the NPD Group reported.

Microsoft has been working hard to cash in on the growing demand for smartphones. Earlier this year, Microsoft released version 6.1 of the Windows Mobile operating system. This version includes an updated browser, which is supposed to make Internet surfing on a mobile phone look and feel like it does on a desktop.

Despite predictions for strong growth, Microsoft still faces tough competition, and it may have a hard time increasing its market share as competition intensifies. Along with its new iPhone 3G, Apple opened its App Store to wild success. Apple raked in about $30 million in sales of iPhone applications in the first month the store was open.

Also, new phones using Google's Android operating system are expected to hit the market soon. Google on Thursday announced Android Market, an online center that will let people find, buy, download, and rate applications and other content for mobile phones equipped with the open-source operating system.

IE 8 beta gives other browsers a run for their money

2008-08-27T21:40:00.000-07:00

Don't count Internet Explorer out just yet.

On Wednesday, Microsoft released the second public beta for Internet Explorer 8. If anything, this release brings IE up to par with alternative browsers such as Opera, Apple's Safari, and Mozilla's Firefox in terms of security and features. It also pushes Microsoft a little ahead of the competition.

The user interface hasn't changed much since Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1, except to add a Security pull-down menu between Page and Tools on the main toolbar. In addition to blocking phishing sites, IE 8 now highlights the main domain of any Web site you visit. Thus if you think you are on eBay's site and something other than ebay.com is highlighted, chances are you are on the wrong Web site.
Click for gallery

IE 8 also contains a cross-site scripting filter, one of the first in a mainstream browser. Cross-site scripting allows an attacker to execute script on a user's browser without them knowing. When the IE 8 filter finds a Web page with a cross-site scripting request, it changes the content on the page with a notice. Users are not presented with an option; IE simply blocks the malicious script from executing and then displays the rest of the page.

In another feature, known as InPrivate, Microsoft allows the user to suspend caching functions while you surf. The scenarios for using InPrivate include when you're using someone else's computer, like for instance, when you need to buy a gift for a loved one without ruining the surprise, or when you're at an Internet kiosk and don't want the next person to know which Web site you visited. While you can currently clear the browser cache with a mouse click, it's an all-or-nothing action. InPrivate temporarily suspends the automatic caching functions, allowing you to keep the rest of your browsing history intact. Apple Safari has offered this feature for a while, but Mozilla Firefox does not.

IE 8 Beta 1 has already introduced several behind-the-scenes security changes. For example, ActiveX components will be installed per user, which eliminates the need for everyone to have administrator privileges. In addition, you must acknowledge or opt in for the component to run, eliminating drive-by downloads. Components will be per site and will only be available from the site of origin. Finally, site developers can request killbits from Microsoft which can be sent via Windows Update to terminate risky or outdated components.

Also, IE 8 Beta 1 included Microsoft's own brand of malware protection. Earlier this year, Opera added Haute Secure malware protection, and Mozilla enhanced its Google and StopBadware malware protection in Firefox 3.

Why apple should make a touch screen laptop.

2008-08-25T12:47:00.000-07:00

Apple is one of the major leaders in the multitouch space and yet, the company's desire to bring a full-fledged touch-screen device to store shelves has stopped with the iPhone. In fact, the most it has done in bringing multitouch to its computers is offering the functionality in the track pad on its MacBook Air.

But simply offering multitouch on a trackpad isn't enough to make consumers want to flock to Apple products instead of HP or Dell machines. Instead, Apple needs to embrace the fact that many people prefer touch-screen technology and create a Mac that offers the same basic functionality found in the iPhone.

Innovation has been a key to Apple's success over the past decade and without it, the company would be nothing more than another computer vendor. But by releasing a Mac that eclipses the functionality of the tablet PC and fully harnesses the power of multitouch in a way that no one has seen before, Apple can create the computing world's first iPhone-like success.

And in the process, Apple could single-handedly propel the computing market forward into a new era where vanilla products are the exception and establish itself as the de facto leader in innovation.

The computing market may be an entirely different space than the cell phone market, where a touch screen is more desired, but we can't forget that it's still being dictated by the common desire of all consumers to use the single product that does what no other device can. And with the world's first touch screen, multitouch Mac in place, Apple can recreate the same iPhone scenario in the computing market and in the process, make competing vendors and Microsoft look outdated.

But Microsoft isn't so naive. The company has already started developing touchscreen technology of its own in the Surface, and has its own plans about what the future of touchscreens could hold. And although it's a much different technology than what I'm suggesting Apple provide, it highlights one important fact: when a company is willing to put its money behind ingenuity, game-changing products result.

Apple is well on its way to developing a full-fledged touch-screen Mac. The company's MacBook Air already sports multitouch technology on its trackpad and its iPhone is a prime example of its ability to create a product in that vein that people actually want.

So what would it look like? Ideally, the computer could be controlled with the touch screen and if you prefer, you can type on it as well. For those who aren't so keen on typing on a virtual keyboard, Apple's touch-screen Mac should sport a physical keyboard that can be slid out. In terms of aesthetics, I'll leave that up to Apple--I think it has proven to be quite capable in designing handsome products.

Right now, Apple has well over $18 billion just sitting in its coffers waiting to be used. And although a touch screen Mac would undoubtedly cost the company quite a bit and possibly cut down on margins, it's a risk worth taking. Sure, the price may be higher, but if the iPhone is any indication of buyer preference, it's quite apparent that consumers are willing to pay substantially more for a product that's both unique and more capable than any product in the market.

Why Apple and not Dell or HP? It's simple--Apple is the only company in the market that's willing to risk failure to be the most innovative and beloved company in the space. On top of that, Apple is the only company in that market that truly has a pulse on the desires of most consumers.

Of course, developing a touch-screen Mac won't be easy for Apple. It will need to modify its OS and ensure that it can interact with an entirely different computing style. Because of that, it may take some time for Apple to get up the courage (and quality) to release such a product. That said, it should endeavor to do so as soon as possible.

Right now, Apple is slowly gaining ground on HP and Dell in hardware sales and is the third-most popular hardware manufacturer in the world. And although it has been able to catch Acer and the rest, beating Dell and HP may be difficult. But by releasing a product that was once thought impossible, Apple can solidify itself as the company that's willing to go the extra mile to provide users with the products they truly want. And in the process, I think it could gain significant market share quite quickly.

There's no telling what Apple has up its sleeve in the coming weeks and although speculation abounds, there's no way to know if a new Mac will even hit store shelves. But if Apple finally does release a new Mac, it should harness the power of touch-screen technology.

It may be expensive and it may not appeal to everyone. But that's the same thing that was said about the iPhone and I think we all know how well that went for Apple.

Well no one is really utilizing the chat room below so i have decided to take it down because it just wastes space on my blog and, and downgrades the appearance and overall flow of my blog, so if there is now improvement in the chat i will continue my plans to take it off, because if no one wants to use there is no reason to keep it. I know i kin of prolonged this post in an unnecessary way, but thank you for reading.

Mozilla: Web apps faster with Firefox 3.1

Posted by Stephen Shankland 9 comments

Updated at 2:40 p.m. PDT with more details about Firefox 3.1 features.

Firefox 3.1 will run many Web-based applications such as Gmail faster through incorporation of a feature called TraceMonkey that dramatically speeds up programs written in JavaScript, Mozilla said Friday.

JavaScript has been very broadly used to add pizzazz or flexibility to Web pages over the years, but in recent years, it's also become the plumbing for many rich Internet applications. However, because JavaScript has been hobbled by pokey performance, Web-based applications often struggled to work as responsively as "native" software running directly on PCs, and programmers writing Web applications have often turned to other options, such as Adobe Systems' Flash and Flex.

Now Mozilla hopes to change the balance of power in JavaScript's favor.

"TraceMonkey is a project to bring native code speed to JavaScript," said Mike Shaver, Mozilla's interim vice president of engineering, adding that JavaScript performance nearly doubles compared to Firefox 3.0, based on the SunSpider test of JavaScript performance. That speeds up many basic tasks, but it also brings image editing and 3D graphics into JavaScript's abilities, he said.

On Thursday, Mozilla programmers built TraceMonkey into the latest developer version of the open-source Web browser, and it will appear in the next released test version, which likely will be the first beta of Firefox 3.1, Shaver said. Firefox 3.1 is due in final form by the end of the year, though Mozilla is willing to let the schedule slip a bit, if necessary.

TraceMonkey dramatically improves the speed of many JavaScript operations. (Click to enlarge.)

JavaScript execution speed can make surfing the Web snappier, so naturally, it's a key part of the resurgent browser wars between Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Mozilla's Firefox, Apple's Safari, and Opera. "We're as aware as anybody that the market is competitive again," Shaver said.

The SunSpider JavaScript test shows a boost of 83 percent, according to programmer and JavaScript pioneer Brendan Eich, who has worked on TraceMonkey and blogged about it on Friday. However, that speed test is an artificial benchmark that is an imperfect reflection of actual JavaScript applications such as Yahoo's Zimbra e-mail software.

Another illustration of TraceMonkey speed is a video of photo editing. Contrast and brightness adjustments take about 100 milliseconds instead of more than 700.

Shaver discussed TraceMonkey on his own blog too.

TraceMonkey explained
TraceMonkey's name is a cross between SpiderMonkey, Mozilla's current engine for interpreting JavaScript code, and a technique called tracing developed at the University of California at Irvine by Andreas Gal and others. Gal is TraceMonkey's lead architect, Shaver said.

TraceMonkey is what's called a just-in-time compiler, one type of technology that solves the problem of converting programs written by humans into instructions a computer can understand.

Most software that runs on people's computers is already compiled in advance into what's called a binary file, but JavaScript usually is interpreted line by line as it runs, a slower process. "We're getting close to the end of what you can do with an interpreter," Shaver said.

A just-in-time compiler, though, creates that binary file on the fly as the code arrives--when a person visits a new Web page, and the browser encounters JavaScript, for example.

TraceMonkey concentrates only on translating selected high-priority parts of software, though. By tracing and recording JavaScript program execution, TraceMonkey finds loops of repeated activity where programs often spend a lot of time. These loops of actual software behavior then are compiled into native instructions the computer can understand.

In contrast, some compilers translate the entire program, a burdensome process that involves mapping all possible paths the computer can take through the code and trying to figure out which are most important. Tracing technology, based on the actual execution of the program, concentrates only on the areas that actually occupy the computer.

"It lets us focus our optimization energy on the parts of the program that matter most," Shaver said.

That concentration means that TraceMonkey doesn't require a lot of memory or a slow-loading plug-in, Shaver said. And it also means that it's good for mobile devices, one of Mozilla's main focuses for browser development.

There's still a lot of work to be done in improving Web-based applications, though. Mozilla's next priority is improving the DOM--the document object model elements of Web browsers that are in charge of drawing and manipulating the Web page overall.

Although TraceMonkey currently is built into the new developer version of Firefox 3.1, it's disabled by default to begin with. "We did that because we want to get wider feedback," Shaver said.

Also in Firefox 3.1
Other significant changes will arrive in Firefox 3.1, Shaver said.

One is support for threading by JavaScript programs. Threads are instruction sequences, and newer multicore processors are able to run multiple threads simultaneously. Software support for that will mean JavaScript programs can execute some tasks in the background better, Shaver said.

Another is the built-in ability to play music encoded with the Ogg Vorbis format and video encoded with the Ogg Theora format. These formats, while not nearly as widely used or as supported as rivals such as MP3, are free from proprietary constraints such as patents, Shaver said, and therefore can be added to an open-source project such as Firefox.

"We're excited to bring unencumbered, truly open-source video to the Web," Shaver said. The support also works on all operating systems Firefox supports.

Mozilla will start encouraging Firefox users more actively to move to the current version soon. In about the next two weeks, Firefox 2 users will start getting messages to upgrade to version 3, Shaver said.

Currently, when copies of Firefox 2 check Mozilla servers to see if there's an update, the servers don't say to move all the way to version 3, so users must manually update.

"We're looking at doing that in the next two weeks," Shaver said. "The majority of users are still on Firefox 2."

Iron Chef video game coming to the Nintendo Wii and DS

Ready to battle Iron Chef Morimoto?

(Credit: Destineer)

Iron Chef America: Supreme Cuisine lets players square off in Kitchen Stadium and battle through a series fast-paced and intense culinary challenges. Each victory advances players closer to a final showdown that will determine who will reign supreme as the next Iron Chef America.

I hope the bonus rounds let you battle it out with the real Iron Chefs. Give me Hiroyuki Sakai and Rokusaburo Michiba any day over these Iron Chef America guys. And don't forget floor reporter Shinichiro Ohta shouting out "Fukui-san!" every few minutes.

I've written in the past about why the Wii is the ideal platform for video games that have more interaction than those console games that typically only require you to work out your thumbs.

And lest you think that I am all about Wii violence, I like the idea of cooking that lets all us FoodTv junkies live out the chef fantasy without having to do any real work.

As a side note I ate at Iron Chef Chen Kinichi's restaurant in Akasaka about five years ago and the food was unrecognizable (despite claiming to be chinese) but just think of all the fun game play that entails.

BlackBerry Bold debuts in North America

Posted by Marguerite Reardon 1 comment

The long-awaited BlackBerry Bold, or BlackBerry 9000, made its North American debut Thursday on Rogers Wireless in Canada.

The Bold is a souped-up version of the BlackBerry Curve model, which has sold well in the U.S. on all four major carriers. This new and improved BlackBerry is supposed to have a superior screen resolution to the Curve and more memory. It also has Wi-Fi and operates over a 3G network, something the GSM version of the Curve does not do. Rogers, like AT&T and T-Mobile, which offer the Curve in the U.S., is a GSM carrier.

But all the new bells and whistles will cost consumers a pretty penny, which might make it out of reach for the consumer customers Research in Motion hopes to attract. Rogers will sell the phone for about $400 with a three-year voice and data plan.

Many have compared the Bold to Apple's Iphone 3G even going as far as to call it RIM's iPhone killer. But even though the Bold offers an improved full HTML Web browser and an improved screen resolution for watching video, it does not have a touch screen. Like previous BlackBerry models, it has a standard QWERTY keypad and BlackBerry's special track ball for navigation.

That said, the real BlackBerry iPhone killer will likely be the black berry thunder, which is supposed to have a touch screen. The Thunder is expected to be released later this year.

The Bold has already been available in other countries including, Germany, Austria, Turkey, Chile and Ecuador. But Rogers is the first North American carrier to get the phone. The phone is expected to launch in the U.S. in September. And a CDMA version of the phone is also expected.

CNET Reviews will have a hands-on review of the new Bold soon, so stay tuned for more detailed information on just how well all these bells and whistles actually work.

Hey does anyone here blog or own a website? If so i would like to introduce you to a great way to make money from it. Its great because of the 100% click through rate. In other words you make money with each and every visitor to your blog or website. These are called pay per play ads, and unlike any other form of affiliate marketing, you get payed when people enter your website and not when people click on the link provided in the ad. Its straight forward and the actually pay through check so if your interested a link will be provided below. You will get paid 25% of what the adverttiser pays. I know it seems low but the fact that someone needs only to merely enter your website/blog more than makes up for it. and if you refer someone to this website you get five percent of what the advertiser pays them. You might be kind of skeptical at first, but this is a great way to earn and income. so all you have to worry about is building/publicizing your ad to make money. As i mentioned earlier i will be posting a link and here it is. http://www.sellingppp.com/a.cgi?ppp=1224931062

After a Bit of searching i found a pretty reasonable video!
