Silverlight, Microsoft Answer to Adobe

April 15, 2010 – 10:49 am

Microsoft player for the browser is lacking many important features since its first release and on the other hand its competitor Flash is offering these features from several years. Infect version 1.0 was a slightly more than a beta release but a lot of improvements has been seen in current release. However the truth is that it still behind Flash standard because of lacking many advanced capabilities; Microsoft has to work hard to compete with Adobe Flash Player.

Microsoft introduces Silverlight with a promise to put Microsoft player on a nearly level with adobe’s Flash Framework. Silverlight delivers an amazing amount of improvements to the table with new APIs, audio codecs and capabilities for video like Smooth Streaming, H264, AAC and hardware based graphic acceleration.

With a developer point of view, this is still a question that how easy it is to develop in Silverlight and how much Microsoft is able to close the features breach with Adobe’s Flash Platform? In its true spirit, Silverlight is designed to make development process easy as it is Microsoft Well known strategy which clearly reflects from the development of IDE to the massive load of new APIs of Silverlight. However it is a bitter fact that web developers’ community remains suspicious about Silverlight’s primary development environment and still not sure about it.

For a novice developer, understanding of Microsoft .Net platform can be quite a bit tricky than usual web development tools like JavaScript or ActionScript which empowers Adobe’s Flash platform. However Silverlight is not so complicated, you will be happy to listen that it is probably a bit easier one from Microsoft and certainly you don’t need to be a .Net expert to build a Silverlight application. How wonder it is?

If your underlying platform is .Net Framework, then it is obvious that Silverlight is providing more strong programming utilities than a typical Flash developer is capable to access. The primary IDE for Silverlight, Visual Studio 2008, waives out Adobe’s Flash IDE and of course with the availability of tools like Eclipse, a lot of Flash developers have been already shifted towards such tools.
Remember there is also Eclipse plug-ins available for working with Silver light and believe me its amazing!

Silverlight applications can be developed with any programming language from C++ to Python. The amazing thing about Silverlight is that you are now able to get access to real programming languages. Although developers are capable of creating powerful application using ActionScript but even though Flash and Flex Framework are lacking the sophistication and maturity for which .Net Framework has achieved a great respect within Developers community.

You can create a Silverlight application that detached from your browser just like an ordinary download but you will need to make your own interface and call the Detach () function on the application type or you have to look for the documentations for this purpose.

Finally Silverlight’s most important new feature is its new out-of-browser functionalities. With the rapid development foundation of .Net Framework, It should be expected to see an explosion of desktop Silverlight applications once it will be out from its beta phase. You can expect much more but still it is silent knock!

How Did Nokia Become What It Is?

March 9, 2010 – 5:53 am

Nokia is having the most competition today, it is being confronted on every field of it’s achievements. Other mobile phone producers wised up and begun to produce quality software, most of them to be exact. It is not enough to just make something work to be good anymore. So Nokia rolled up it’s sleeves too, and created the N97 putting everything it knows about making mobile phones in it, and even something it knows about making internet tablets. The camera was already seen on the N95 and N96, but the touch sensitive screen with a resolution of 640 times 360 pixels wasn’t. Together with 128MB of ram and 32GB of flash storage space inside, and also 256 MB of NAND flash ram, a fast processor, and the Ovi application store with some messenger uniting programs already present in the phone, this is a computer far exceeding PDAs and even good enough to replace your netbook. You can use it to watch video for 6.5 hours before running out of battery, and you can hook it up to a TV set when you want to show your recordings or presentations to a larger crowd. It is a computer, camera, mp3 player, radio, mobile phone, netbook, gaming machine, flash disk, everything you think of. A drawing board. GPS device. Alarm clock. Tracking device. At least you don’t have to think about it anymore when you get it. Everything is possible with it, so you just know everything you hear can be done you can do. You can relax and start actually living your life instead of thinking about the possibilities of your mobile phone versus others. Until they create a bluetooth projector or a phone that records HDTV resolution videos, this is the most of technology you can get in a phone. You will only use your computer to read DVDs into N97 over WiFi from now on.

It has got so much possibilities you can stop thinking about getting more possibilities and start thinking about what you need all those things for.

When You Need POS Repair, Call the Best.

December 23, 2009 – 3:43 am

If you need POS repair services, you need to carefully consider which services you can entrust with your company hardware. Whether you need POS printer repair or repair for another piece of hardware, your entrust to repair company to actually make the needed repairs in a timely manner and without damaging anything else. If there may be sensitive data on the computer component that needs repairs, you also need to make sure that your repair service can be trusted to restore the lost data or repair the computer without violating your trust.

If you need POS terminal repair services or a company offering POS equipment repair, it is tempting to always look at price first. However, there are lots of reasons why you should consider quality above all. Some low-cost POS hardware repair companies simply do not have the trained staff to handle service requests. This can be dangerous, if attempts to repair your hardware results in more damage. Low-cost services can also mean delayed POS hardware maintenance services, something that can cost you money if your customers take their business elsewhere during the delay.

teknik_servis

In addition to timely, experienced service, another hallmark of quality POS repair services include small details. Some low-cost and discount POS hardware repair services, for instance, ask that you sign a long-term contract before any POS repair can take place. Over time, you may find that such a contract costs you more money, especially if it ties you to using the same service over and over again, even if the service does not meet your needs.

A quality company such as tekservePOS is confident enough to offer POS printer repair, POS terminal repair services, and general POS hardware repair services with or without a maintenance contract. If you want the freedom of choice to go somewhere else, you can. If you want a contract that guarantees certain conditions or terms, you can enjoy that as well.

In addition to contracts, consider how POS hardware repair will actually take place. Some POS hardware maintenance services are on-site only, which can be handy, but also very expensive if you do not truly need on-site help. Other POS repair services are off-site only, which can be difficult if you need a larger piece of equipment repaired or reinstalled after repairs. With a quality company such as tekservePOS, you get a choice. You choose the service you need and we customize a solution to fit. If you decide to send us hardware for POS hardware repair services, we even pay return freight shipping.

Norton Internet Security 2010

December 5, 2009 – 6:25 am

It simply can not be emphasized how necessary it is to protect your system. The first threat that many know is the reality that all it requires is one worm or Trojan to turn your OS into complete worthless thing. And the more risky scenario is the danger of identity theft. Hackers, no more gratified with just making chaos and headaches, have prepared themselves for (stealing) thieving people’s secret information from their systems and utilizing it to make exorbitant purchases totally ruining innocents’ lives. Norton Internet Security 2010 features a plethora of protective features, but let’s check how it goes under tight examination.

norton_internet_security

If you’re acquainted with Norton’s famous antivirus software, you’ll also be acquainted with Internet Security 2010. This software is basically Norton Antivirus and then anything else. Set up and installation is much same as antivirus, though it takes a little longer, depending upon your computer, due to the fact that there’s so much additional stuff packed into this software. Interface is also very alike to Norton Antivirus, and that’s to say that it’s very smooth and simple to use. This is one area that Norton has always made well and they keep going to improve this. You will easily navigate around Internet Security 2010 and look at any minute little details about what is just happening with your system as you want.

So what precisely builds this software a “suite?”

Well, let’s describe what exactly this software can perform. This is basically Norton Antivirus with additional bells and whistles. It obviously features Norton Antivirus as the centerpiece of the application by having identity protection features like the power to stop phishing sites and authenticate good sites. This feature is named as “Identity Safe” that can handle your personal login information, and protects against keyloggers by automatically filling in login information. It also has Network protection features to guard your machine as you log into public networks.

Norton Internet Security 2010 is a perfect security suite and compatible Windows 7. This includes antivirus, anti spyware, firewall, intelligent protection and digital identity. Coming after the 2009 edition, NIS 2010 has importantly less affect on the system resources (RAM and CPU). We think that Symantec has decided to alter the bad repute that its programs have long suffered at this level. This newer version contains significant innovations over the earlier.

Symantec has focused its efforts on fuller security of navigation based on advanced technology SONAR 2 that is engineered to safeguard you in real time from new dangers whether known or unknown. The main interface gives a general view of the different statutes security system and a mere click gives an easy accession to other functions of the program and whole configuration settings for the computer network and internet. A “silent” mode (Silent Mode) lets you to disable the alerts of frequently unasked messages as you don’t want to be disturbed during working. All the same, Norton Internet Security 2010 installs a toolbar sort of intrusive in your web browser.

Apart from a few little defects, Norton Internet Security 2010 is a really fine security suite offering all the tools and a perfect security for your computer.

Here are some positive and negative things about this suite:

Pros:

•    Security against the majority of online threats

•    Options specific security for e-mails and browsing

•    Useful Mode “Silent”

Cons:

•    Still enough resource-intensive

•    Installs a toolbar in your browser

Panda Antivirus Pro 2010

December 4, 2009 – 7:38 am

Panda Antivirus Pro 2010

Panda Antivirus Pro is a technically high-grade program, both in signature-based and behavioral way, having a best user interface and minimum burden on system resources and therefore highly recommended. Panda has always been a favorite of the geek world but then it got into a sort of inanition. Fine security, but bloated as several others.

Features

•    It scans files (immediately and on-demand), detects and wipes out viruses, spyware, Trojans, rootkits, bots and other malware.
•    It scans e-mails before they reach your inbox, disregarding of your e-mail program.
•    It scans net traffic disregarding of your web browser type.
•    It scans Instant Messaging traffic in MSN Messenger, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger and AOL.
•    It cleans all traces of clutter led by malware on your machine.
•    Its Genetic Heuristic Engine blends new algorithms to find new forms of the gravest malware families.
•    Its TruPrevent Technologies 2.0 silently examines the behavior of programs and stops those that attempt to harm your machine.
•    It features Personal Firewall, having Smart auto-configuration, Intrusion prevention and Wireless Monitor.
•    Panda Antivirus Pro also has an anti-Phishing Filter.
•    It has Anti-Banking Trojan Engine: specified heuristics and generic detecting methods guarantee maximal security for online transactions.
•    Its Anti-Rootkit Technology finds and cleans silently-installed rootkits employed by malware or hackers to evade traditional antivirus products.
•    It automatically updates every day.

Pros and Cons

Pros:
•    Really high detection rate
•    Very light on resources
•    Really attractive user interface
•    Cost-effective for multiple licenses

Cons:

•    Normal scan speed

High Detection Rate

Panda Antivirus Pro 2010 presents a high detection rate. It appears as if it has been enhanced with the launching of the fresh heuristic modules; both generic and specified.

Normal Scan Speed

Panda Antivirus Pro 2010 performs a fine job at maintaining the scanning time in the same level as several other programs. Different from many others though, you don’t require scheduling it out of hours because the system is entirely available for normal office applications.

Very Gentle and Light on resources

The 2010 edition of Panda Antivirus is amazingly soft to system resources. Even on a full scan, it feels to be a kind of “capping” process in action, so that the C.P.U. power apportioned to the scanner is never over 50% and the memory used up at steady-state is floating around 75 mega-bites. Panda still provides an additional option called “CPU load management”; it brings down CPU utilization on scans to keep other tasks from losing pace; which is very remarkable.

Easy User Interface

Panda Antivirus Pro 2010 registers one of the great user interfaces. These are extremely easy and convenient to use. For the big majority of people, Panda’s trend of taking decisions on their behalf, are to be appreciated. The firewall setup, for instance, is as fine as it poses from instantly after the installation, and intelligently lends applications to the whitelist, without obnoxious requests. It functions well, as your machine gets into a quick “stealth” mode.

Panda Antivirus Pro 2010 comes with several fresh security features and this includes a secure firewall also. The overall feature set is second to none. On the whole, it performs everything an average user requires and executes it extremely well. You receive a generous license to set up it on up to 3 systems. This makes it a really compelling antivirus solution. Only little negative thing anybody may mention is its update policy.

Dup Killer

November 25, 2009 – 10:37 am

Introduction

At times when our system slows down, the only thought that comes to our mind is that it is infected by a virus or malicious application. However, this is not the only reason because of which the system slows down.  One of the biggest reasons is the unnecessary duplication of files. At times we download files and are not aware of the fact that copies of the files are being saved in the system. At times we do search the system hard drives but there are certain locations that we do not check. Hence some of the files do reside in the system. To remove duplicate files, the user requires a powerful and effective search application. Such application helps in filtering the system and removes all the files that are not required.

interface

DUP Killer description

DUP killer is a very powerful search application that helps the user in removing all the extra files that are residing in the system. DUP killer searches all the possible places on the system in which a file can be saved.  The files can be searched according to the date of creation and modification. Hence, if a new copy of an existing file has to be saved instead of an older version, DUP searches the older versions of the file for the user. The files are matched in terms of the written text. The percentage to which an existing file matches its duplicate is displayed to the user as well. After that the user can replace the older version with the newer version. However, the case will be different if more than one copy of the same file exists. In this case, each copy of the file is matched and the matching percentage is displayed to the user. In that case, the user will be able to choose the versions that he wishes to save and the ones that he wishes to delete.

Technical Description of DUP Killer

•    This application has a very simple installation process and a very short duration is required for the application to be installed on the system.
•    This is a freeware application and no costs have to be paid by the user to use this application.
•    The interface of the application is very easy to use and the user does not require any manuals or tutorials to use the application. Every option is very clear and user does not have any problems mostly.
•     A time delay is not caused when one option is used. Hence, in other words one can say that the application does not work a lot of time in executing the working processes.
•    DUP killer does not require any supportive application or files to run on the system. In other words, one can say that it is not dependant on any application for execution.

Conclusion

A duplicate copy of files is a problem that is hard to combat for the user. This is because it is hard to find the locations of all the files until and unless a dependable application is not present. Even if one copy is left out, the duplication process begins and the user faces the problem of the system speed declining yet again. The application that is selected for the purpose of deleting duplicate files should be tested first to check the level of dependency.
