  Internet is an essential part of our modern life. It's taking over a role in our personal and commercial life. Now we buy and sell online, bank online, socialize online and lot more. And when we talk about internet we talk about websites. Website is the media of communicating between human and internet. So it is essential for all the web developers to make sure the websites interact with its users and that is the key to success . There are millions and billions of websites are online but only a few percent of them are successful. When a developer develop a website they have to follow certain rules which we call HCI rules.. Ben Shneiderman is well know among all the web designers for his "Eight Golden Rules of Interface Design". But still in most of the websites the rules are exploited or not properly followed. It depends on web designer how their websites going to look like but the key thing and motive is to interact with the common users. So every websites have to fe

 Google Wave went dead officially last month with the announcement by Google on their official page that it would no longer pursue development on the Wave but would keep the site on probably till the end of the year. Do you feel a touch of sadness at this decision or not really? Well, for me, I do remember the initial buzz about this product that was generated. With access dished out only through invites, Google had managed to create a curiosity about the product. I had myself received their invite about a couple of weeks after the launch. And I had loved exploring it as with every new technology. But soon the interest dwindled and I can safely say, I hardly used Wave 3 to 4 times in all! So why did Google Wave fail? What went wrong with Google Wave? Why was Google Wave closed? As Google reports on their site, the reason for this decision was the cold response to it. There are a few reasons that this could be attributed to. Brainy idea with no practical use: Google Wave was a collab

 A couple of months ago I registered for a webinar on Web 2.0 in E-Learning. It was hosted by the ASTD, the American society for training and development with two guest speakers from renowned universities . The day of the event I signed in and waited for the webinar to begin; however it all played out differently than anyone had expected. Initially the audience was not able to understand the organizers of the webinar: There was way too much static. After ten minutes of configuration on the ASTD side, the problem had been resolved, the hosts apologized for the inconvenience and we were assured that the system had been tested the night before and everything used to work. Once the guest speakers were introduced and control was handed over to the first presenter, the same problem manifested itself all over again: The audience was not able to understand a single word and in the end it was decided to postpone the session. Around 40 people had just wasted half an hour of their valuable time.

If you are someone that sits at a desk for more than 40 hours a week, it's a good idea to get yourself a custom made pad for your mouse. By seeing an expert, they will be able to tell you what needs to be done to ensure that your wrists and fingers are kept in optimal position. Millions of people throughout the world already suffer from RSI, and you want to avoid that statistic; believe me! A lot of people use a pad that has a gel supportive cushion, but in some cases these are not enough. It all comes down to the genetics of the person who is using the computer all day long. I have found that by spending a few hundred dollars on a good set up my ergonomics has improved considerably, and I have had no more problems with pains in my wrists, fingers and also elbows and neck. Even with the best custom wrist pad, a poor quality mouse is going to cause you problems. What this means is that you need to match a high quality mouse with a high quality pad. I would suggest that a mouse which

 Yes, it is possible to make the Internet faster without paying anything more; and yes, there is safer way of using the Internet as well. What do we have to do to get it? You have to put up with a little bit of a tutorial in how the web works . And then you could be on your way to doing everything in ways that ordinary problems just would not touch. Let's start it this way - the Internet addresses everyone knows and loves - google.com , yahoo.com and so on, are actually not real Internet addresses at all. Imagine what it would look like if your cell phone's phonebook function could only list a bunch of numbers and no names to go against each number. If you were to open your phonebook, you'd see only an endless column of numbers. But that would make little sense because you can't remember numbers well and don't recognize either. The Internet works with a string of numbers just like the phone system does as well. Each 10 digit number called an Internet protocol a

 When your laptop is " optimized ' it means that everything has been done to improve its performance. Perhaps you purchased your laptop computer not so long ago and it was running just fine, but now it seems like overnight it's going so much slower than before. This can drive you nuts, but what can you do? Maintaining the performance of a computer is often overlooked by home users, yet it is vital to keep it running and performing well. Where to begin? Eliminate any unwanted files, videos, emails, and photos from your computer . You can put your photos on a CD or DVD to keep for later but getting them off your computer is a really good idea. The same thing goes for your emails . I bet there are heaps that you won't look at again. Plus, how many of them have shared photos or cartoons that are still taking up valuable space ? Don't forget to empty your trash! Clean out the temporary files that your system has kept automatically. You may not be aware, but every tim

 The mind of technology is breeding grounds for new inventions, while the benefits with technology serve to make life so much more interesting than, say a hundred years ago. I have to admit sometimes I wonder if it's more enjoyable.  What would we do in today's society without the benefits that technology provides? A year or so ago I stopped at a yard sale. Among the various things for sale, there were a few science fiction books a man was selling, claiming he was selling them for his son. As I was paying for the books a statement made by the man at first angered me. Then a feeling of pity replaced my rising anger. Obviously, this man had little tact and was no salesman . Mostly I believe I felt sorriest for his son. He said he wondered what kind of mind would read such trash. One thing for sure, if we all had such closed minds like this man's, we would still be in the horse and buggy days. Like the man said, none are as blind as he that refuses to see. The state of

 A question that today sounds absurd, as everyone seems to know the answer to this redundant question. The fact actually is, everyone has their own interpretation of What A Computer is as they see it. The field of computers has seen such unprecedented growth that has quite changed the definition and use of computers as it were, specially with the silly forms it has taken today ranging from laptops to netbooks and now to tablet PCs - all of which have contributed their share in obliterating its importance and existence - the biggest factor of all being The Internet. Today, a computer would more vastly be viewed as a "youngster's dream toy", a gadget that they are addicted to, that they use to surf the internet, a device that they can listen to songs on, view videos, store pictures, and more popularly - be connected using social networking. A computer has been reduced to a a device that no longer needs any prior experience or learning to operate it, quite in contrast

 Threats to computers and networks have been an issue since computers were introduced to the general public. Today, any computer or network that is connected to the Internet is at risk to various types of attacks. It is important that we keep all of our PC's both at home and at work, up-to-date on the latest security patches and bug fixes. CERT (the Computer Emergency Response Team funded by Carnegie Mellon University) cautions that: " Intruders form groups and develop scripts that they share with each other on how to maliciously exploit vulnerabilities in systems. Intruders dedicate time to developing programs that exploit vulnerabilities and to sharing information. They have their own publications, and they regularly hold conferences that deal specifically with tools and techniques for defeating security measures in networked computer systems." For more information on the great things CERT is doing please visit their website. The CERT/CC and the Internet Community Y

 There are differences in mobile applications compared to other applications in terms of the way it is implemented, distributed, and consumed by end-users. But in terms of testing, it is not that different after all. The ideas, methods, and tactics testers use when testing other applications can be applied. To mobile as well. Some of the commonalities in terms of areas to be tested are log files, rendering issues, performance, consistency, storage, memory issues, caching problems, and security vulnerabilities. There are also overlaps in terms of testing strategies that can be used, including: · Blink test: Looking for visual patterns by constantly switching between similar versions of pages or apps to notice minute differences in rendering or visual elements · Installation testing: Installing, uninstalling, and reinstalling apps, including upgrading apps from much earlier versions · Interrupt testing: Testing how an end-user will use the app by constantly texting, calling, or switching

 I believe the majority of people already know that Portable Document Format (PDF), is a file format that makes it easier for users to repurpose digital images. While JPEG is best suited for image formatting, the format has some limitations. Typically, it is not the right format for small images and repeatedly edited images. The case is the same with textual data and compressed images. Transparency within images has been a long-standing issue within the JPEG format. Another disadvantage is the elimination of extra pixels during compression that might be useful for a fading-out effect. When image quality is a priority, you cannot rely on JPEG. Rather, you need a more versatile and integral format. A PDF format can eliminate all the disadvantages of JPEG . Therefore, converting JPEG to PDF has advantages. But how do you know which free JPEG to PDF online converter is the best? PDF is way ahead of JPG with its array of advantages, such as storing images in fewer bytes on the hard drive

 In this rapidly changing world , the challenge to develop a robust and high-quality mobile application would require a lot of commitment and dedication. There is one such platform from the Google stable that has captured the attention of developers and is now among the top tools that they use. That is Firebase, which has numerous options for creating highly functional and flexible web, Android and iOS platform applications. While it definitely has its own set of competitors in this industry, Firebase is always conversing with the best available platforms presently. Firebase has powerful features for developing, managing and improving applications. With its own set of credible tools, apps can be created and expanded based on demand. Hence it aims to work through three main dilemmas of developers - to build an app quickly, confidently release and monitor the same, and engage its users. The access to services that they developers can create themselves enable them to focus on delive
