Basic facts-Web hosting

Every time you visit a web site, what you see on your web browser is basically just a web page that is downloaded from a Web server to your browser. In brief , the web site is made up of many web pages, each web page consists of text and graphic elements. You can elaborate them on your own computer or online with some of the specialized services, but that would be accessible to everyone, must be collected on a web server. So if you want to have your own web page, the firstly thing you need to do is rent space on a web server, or select a hosting plan.

Enterprises that keep web servers for hosting your website are named web hosting providers.
Authorized hosting providers often host tens-hundreds of thousands of web pages. For that motive , web hosting company need many web servers (which are, basically , a computer) to compile all the sites. All these servers are associated to the Internet speedy connection and are physically situated in an area that is called data or data center. In order to dedicated availability and reliability of the web server was guaranteed, the data center is under constant surveillance, to fire protection and temperature control, with the replacement power supply if power outage occurs, is carried out regular data backup and virus control.

What are the distinct classes of web hosting?

Shared hosting

Shared hosting (as well known as virtual web hosting) is where many sites share the identical physical space on the web server. It is common and the best solution for most users. Prices are affordable and generally can select among several plans that offer the opportunity of holding one or more domains, more or less site storage space, more or less bandwidth, etc. This class of hosting is specifically important to choose a reliable , known provider that will not overload their servers and thus slow down the responsiveness of your site.

Dedicated hosting

Dedicated hosting signifies that the entire web server is destined to only one client. This is the fix to sites with extremely high traffic; a big amount of data stored or heightened requirement for security. Examples are Web sites of banks, video sharing sites, and usually all social media sites.

Co-location hosting

Like to dedicated hosting, except that the server is not rented, but instead it’s the client's property, but he profits benefits from data center. This permits the greatest control, but it is more expensive.

Reseller hosting

Reseller hosting is firstly intended for resale. Allows you to lease a bigger space on the web server at a big price, which as an administrator, you can share how you want to rent or assigned less and less free. Most sites that offer a hosting arrangement with the larger providers, because they are qualified to offer lower cost hosting, but unluckily , little or no support.

Toshiba roll out netbook with 2-watt Harman Kardon speakers

Toshiba plans to launch two new netbook models: one with a set of impressive speakers and another one "no frills" version.

Toshiba has roll out plans to release the noise to netbooks in the form of Harman Kardon speakers. The speakers will be offered in Toshiba’s forthcoming NB520 netbook and, according to Toshiba, will be the smallest embedded laptop speakers made by Harman Kardon. The speakers will be 2-watts apiece “giving sound volume and quality not normally associated with netbooks.”



The NB520 will also have an Atom N550 processor, 2GB of DDR3 Ram memory, Bluetooth 2.1 support, a 250GB Hard Disc, and ten hours of battery life with a 6-cell battery.



Toshiba thinks that there is a demand. The company says that over two thirds of netbook users rely on speakers to watch movies or listen to music. That figure might continue to rise as online video and music streaming continue to grow in popularity.

That’s why company has trying to raise the sound volume and quality on a netbook.

For those strictly interested in the business side of netbooks, Toshiba will also be offering the NB500, a stripped down version of the NB520. The NB500 does away with the Harman Kardon speakers, axes the Bluetooth, and offers an Intel Intel Atom N455 processor. The battery life expectancy is also a bit lower in this model __up to eight hours with a 6-cell battery.

Both models will have 10.1-inch LED-backlit displays with 1,024 x 600 resolutions, three USB 2.0 ports, up to 250GB of disk space, Windows 7 Starter, and a host of other standard features.

No announcement on prices yet, but expect to find out before they ship sometime in the first quarter of 2011. We’ll wait to see if audio-minded consumers will choose Toshiba’s option over, say, an iPad.

Android 2.1 and 2.2 have taken Over Older Versions

Eighty-three percent of all Android devices now run either Android 2.1 or 2.2, according to the latest data from Android Developers. The remaining 17% is almost evenly spread between Android 1.6 and (the now truly antique) Android 1.5.



More precisely, 43.4% of devices are currently running Android 2.2 and 39.6% of devices are running Android 2.1. Android 1.6 is active on 10.6% of devices, while only 6.3% of devices still run Android 1.5.

Fragmentation has always been an issue for the Android platform, but due to a slightly longer wait between Android 2.2 (or Froyo) and the next version, Android 2.3 (or Gingerbread — which is rumored to be coming out any day now), things are looking better than ever, with the huge majority of Android devices being spread amongst the latest two versions.

Last time we looked at the state of Android, the situation was much worse: Android 2.2 was out, most users’ (55.5%) devices were running Android 2.1, and a very significant portion of active devices were based on Android 1.6 and Android 1.5. The developers had to worry about four different versions, with the differences between 1.5 and 2.2 being quite staggering.

Right now, developers can focus on 2.1 and 2.2; this will change really soon when 2.3 becomes available to the general public, but having to develop and upgrade your app on three versions of the platform is still better than four.

Slax 6.1.2 (Review by Y!Tech)

Slax is a popular Slackware-based Linux distro which excels as Live OS to carry around on a pen drive or bootable disc. Its a "Pocket Operating System".



Slax has an extremely modular design which makes it incredibly easy to install applications, even before the OS is installed! The Slax website offers an online interface for customizing your distro before downloading it and burning it to a disc / putting it on a pen drive. Through the online interface you can customize your distro adding and removing software packages to get exactly the combination you want. Once you are done customizing, your custom build can be downloaded as a tar file or an iso file.



Thanks to this brilliant feature Slax does not suffer from the problem many live distros face, where you end up downloading a 700MB distribution which might not have the applications you are looking for while including many that you don't use. 

Applications and libraries are available as lzm files which include all the files needed by the application inside a compressed image. When you "install" an application, Slax simply mounts the applications image over that of the OS. You can compare this to the concept of layers in an image-editing application such as Adobe Photoshop. Your background layer is your core Slax OS, and on top of that you have other application layers, one for your X server, one for KDE, one for Firefox etc. This way layer by layer your system of Slax is built.



What this also means is that Slax has no traditional package manager. Instead you can download Slax packages and simply double click them to active the application. Slax can even automatically manage the downloading and installation of modules using its custom "slik://" protocol which tells Slax to install the linked module. As such you can directly install modules from the Slax website by clicking on the activate link for the module. If you want any modules to be automatically loaded on startup, you can place them in the modules directory of your Slax installation.

Slax is also a stateless system. Due to its layered nature, any changes that you make while running Slax, even those which modify core files do not affect the actual core system. Instead all your changes are captured in a separate file. Because of this, you can choose to start a fresh Slax instance at any point of time without affecting your saved changes. While booting from the pen drive or CD, you can choose between multiple modes; the default option will use a persistent image so that your changes to the system are retained at every boot, the "Slax Alays Fresh" option on the other hand will load Slax without reading any changes you have made to it, ensuring that your Slax is always bootable no matter what.

Recent versions of Slax include a new feature called Slax Drive. This is a cloud storage service by the creator of Slax. The service offers 1GB of online storage space for free — with more available for a price — and integrates with Slax. This is quite a useful feature for a distro like Slax were while booting from a CD / DVD your changes isn’t going to be saved by default. This makes it possible for one to do actual work on a live Slax disc and simply store it online to access it from elsewhere. The developer of Slax has even made a version available for Windows which will mount your Slax drive to a Windows drive letter.

To ensure that your changes are persistent on Slax, you need to run it from a writable media such as a flash drive or hard disc drive. If Slax detects it is running from a writable drive, it will store any changes you make on it. With Slax it is possible to have persistent storage of your settings even if you are booting from the CD! However this facility does not come out of the box, and needs some configuration on your part after which you will be able to store persistent changes on your hard drive or a flash drive while booting from a CD / DVD.



If you are booting Slax off a CD / DVD disc, you can really improve the usability and speed of the distro by using the "Slax Copy to RAM" option which will load the contents of the disc onto the RAM thus removing the performance bottleneck of loading files off a disc.



By default Slax comes with KDE 3.5.10, not the latest KDE 4 and there is no official KDE4 module available. However there this doesn't prevent you from doing much. While the interface is a couple of years old, and not as graphically rich as some of the newer distros, the OS is, as a result, fast and light on resources. Slax will run appreciably even on system over 5 years old with as little as 256MB RAM. With even 512B RAM you should be able to run Slax directly from RAM. 

The package selection of the default Slax is minimal, but has enough applications to let you do basic work. Slax includes Firefox or Konqueror for web browsing, Kopete for IM, KPlayer for multimedia playback, Juk for audio playback, K3b for burning discs, and KOffice for working with document, spreadsheets and presentations. Slax includes Samba, so it should work well with Windows networks.



Slax comes with full support for popular proprietary multimedia formats, and includes Flash Player (albeit an older version) by default. So websites such as YouTube and Vimeo will work as expected, and you will be able to download / stream music and listen to it. You can install VLC or some other media player on it though. By installing codec packs available as modules you can further expand it's multimedia capabilities.



Thanks to its minimal package selection, the whole distribution is a mere 200MB, which leaves you with nearly half a GB of additional storage capacity on a CD to add packages of your choice, and much more if you plan to use it off a pen drive.



Slax is meant to be used as a live OS, and it is for this reason that it supports no mechanism of installation to your hard drive. While it is certainly possible to do so using tools such as UNetbootin, there is no official support for such a scenario.

If you are looking specifically for a distro to use as a live OS, look no further. Slax is the perfect OS to carry around in your pocket. Despite its small size, it packs quite a punch and even the default installation should be sufficient for surfing the internet, playing back media, and working on documents. It's modularity and design make it secure from damage by the user, despite running on the root account, and make it possible for you to download a customized version of the distro straight from the website. It has one of the simplest mechanisms for installing removing applications. We would highly recommend Slax as a live disto for all users. If you can get over the dated interface, this distros will impress you with its stability and power.

Rokok Elektronik, Seperti apa?

Rokok Elektronik

Rokok, hal pertama kali yang kita pikirkan adalah asapnya yang mengganggu dan menimbulkan polusi udara. Baru-baru inisebuah perusahaan gadget ternama di Inggris mengeluarkan produk gadget terbaru yaitu rokok elektronik. Dilangsir rokok ini memang lebih sehat, karena asap yang ditimbulkan pun tidak berbahaya seperti rokok pada umumnya.
Rokok ini tidak memiliki tar, tidak mengandung karbon monoksida, dan tidak ada bahan kimia yangmenyebabkan kanker. Gadget rokok terbaru ini tidak memerlukan korek api atau pemantik rokok seperti pada umumnya, dan keunggulan rokok ini adalah tanpa mengandung tembakau sedikitpun, tentunya akan sangat aman dari pencemaran udara donk ya. Tidak seperti tembakau alternatif yang mengandung lebih dari 4.000 bahan kimia dan tar, rokok yang diberi nama rokok milano ini hanya memakai batere sebagi bahan bakarnya dan tentunya tidak menyebabkan kanker paru-paru karena hanya berisi nikotin. Dan yang paling penting, harga rokok ini adalah seharga £29.99 atau sekitar 450.000 rupiah. Lumayan mahal juga ya, hayo siapa yang mau pesan ni, tapi hanya untuk kalanganorang dewasa tentunya, anak kecil kan ga boleh merokok.

Konsep BlackBerry Masa Depan

Konsep BlackBerry Masa Depan

BlackBerry atau yang biasa kita sebut BB adalah type gadget yang lagi trend di indonesia.Desain BlackBerry yang kita tahu selama ini cukup khas. Layar lebar, dilengkapi navigasi trackpad atau trackball, dan rata-rata hadir dengan keypad Qwerty. Tapi, konsep satu ini mungkin akan membuat Anda tercengang dan sama sekali tidak disangka sebelumnya.

Konsep BlackBerry Empathy yang diusung Kiki Tang dan Daniel Yoon dari Art Center College of Design jauh berbeda dari konsep desain BlackBerry yang beredar saat ini. Sepintas BlackBerry Empathy hadir dengan fisik ponsel menyerupai kristal dan tampilan antarmuka unik berupa cincin biometrik yang berfungsi mengumpulkan data emosional. Ia bekerja ketika Anda berhubungan dengan teman Anda melalui instant messaging (IM) dan layanan jejaring sosial, seperti Facebook, Twitter, dan semacamnya.

"Seperti yang dilihat, konsep ini menawarkan teknologi layar sentuh. Uniknya, koneksi antarpengguna ditampilkan secara grafis, sehingga penggunanya dimudahkan untuk melihat siapa berhubungan dengan siapa," kata Kiki, salah satu desainer Empathy, seperti dikutip VIVAnews dari CrackBerry.com, Selasa 30 November 2010.

Tiap kontak akan mempunyai avatar yang masing-masing dilingkari cincin dua warna yang menunjukkan data emosional. Tentu saja, warna cincin tersebut dipengaruhi oleh emosi kontak yang bersangkutan. Misalnya, cincin berwarna yang terletak di bagian dalam menunjukkan emosional seseorang sebelumnya. Sementara cincin bagian luar menunjukkan emosional seseorang yang sedang berlangsung.

"Sangat menarik untuk mengetahui perubahan emosi seseorang, terlebih lagi ketika ingin mengetahui emosinya berubah setelah melihat sebuah peristiwa," jelas Kiki.

Fitur penting lainnya adalah Emotional Health Chart. Grafik ini dapat memonitor diagram kesehatan seseorang secara emosional dalam waktu yang tak terbatas. Seseorang dapat melihat bagaimana suatu peristiwa, seperti panggilan telepon, atau menerima sebuah pesan singkat dapat mempengaruhi emosional pengguna. Senang, sedih, marah, dan sebagainya. Jika grafik menunjukkan seseorang tersebut selalu sedih, maka bisa jadi ia sedang mengalami masalah. Jika diizinkan, pengguna dapat melihat grafik pengguna lain juga.

Konsep yang sungguh menarik. Meski belum diketahui teknologi apa yang akan mendukungnya. Kami yakin Anda pun penasaran untuk melihat suasana hati Anda pada cincin tersebut, atau mengetahui suasana hati pasangan Anda saat suatu peristiwa terjadi. Mari kita tunggu apakah konsep ini benar-benar diwujudkan oleh Research In Motion (RIM) atau tidak.
