End of Internet is near 2008-03-15 00:54:00 Have you heard the latest doomsday scenario? In thirty years, the internet will stop working! Apparently, a bug similar to the millennium bug will affect Unix-based systems, like those that run the tubes, in the year 2038. The bug, being dubbed the "2038 bug," arises because Unix-based systems store the time as a signed 32-bit integer, in seconds, from midnight on January 1 1970. And the latest time that can be represented in that format, by the Posix standard, is 3:14 AM on January 19, 2038. After that, times will wrap around and be represented as a negative number.And then what happens? Programs will fail, of course. Since they will see times not as being in 2038 but rather in 1901, erroneous calculations and decisions will occur. (It's true, check Wikipedia!)Demo Example showing how t Read more:Internet

Technologies That are going to rock 2008 2008-03-13 08:34:00 Here are a list of technologies that created a fuss in 2007 and now in 2008 they are certainly going to create headlines.A point to note is that most of these are related to Open Source.1. Android Can you say, “Open source standard Linux for devices powered by Google”? Can you say, “gPhone”? Almost five thousand developers signed up in the first week. This might be the iPhone that everyone really wants. If you look at what Linux and open source have provided over the last ten years, I can’t imagine what mobile devices will look like with a platform like Android in the next five years. One blogger said that, if you write code for a living, you need to learn about Android. Android might be what Java was supposed to be. See also... Five things you might want to know about Android
Google Talk chatback 2008-03-08 23:40:00 Do you have a blog, online profile, or some other personal web page? Would you like to communicate more with your visitors? Today we're launching a new Google
Talk feature that lets visitors to your web site chat with you. We call it "chatback" because instead of you doing all the talking on your blog, your visitors can talk back to you. Sure, they could leave comments, but those are public and hard to use for a real conversation. With chatback, it's a real instant message session.To use chatback, you must have a Google Talk
account ... but your visitors don't have to! They don't even need to have an email address, or to have ever used instant messaging.When they visit your site, they'll see a badge like the one on the right showing your online status (available, busy, offline) and, if you
CAPTCHA: Telling Humans and Computers Apart Automatically 2008-03-05 14:16:00 A CAPTCHA is a program that protects websites against bots by generating and grading tests that humans can pass but current computer programs cannot.A CAPTCHA is a type of challenge-response test used in computing to determine whether the user is human. The process involves one computer (a server) asking a user to complete a simple test which the computer is able to generate and grade. Because other computers are unable to solve the CAPTCHA, any user entering a correct solution is presumed to be human. A common type of CAPTCHA requires that the user type the letters of a distorted image, sometimes with the addition of an obscured sequence of letters or digits that appears on the screen.The term "CAPTCHA" was coined in 2000 by Luis von Ahn, Manuel Blum, Nicholas J. Hopper (all of Carnegie Read more:Automatically

YouTube Tests Higher Resolution Videos 2008-03-05 13:30:00 Now,YouTube
has started to test higher quality videos. If you append &fmt=6 to the URL of a YouTube video, you should get better quality videos. Note that this only works for a small number of videos.Here's an example of video that's available both the regular version (320x240) and in a higher quality encoding (448x336). The audio is now encoded at a sample rate of 44100 Hz, up from 22050 Hz. As you can see in the screenshots below, the right image is clearer and more detailed.While this increase of resolution might seem minor, for the example above YouTube's re-encoded FLV file is more than twice bigger than the old one (from 9 MB to 22 MB), so it will load much slower.If you append &fmt=18, YouTube downloads the video as a MP4 (H264 with AAC audio), encoded at 480x360.

Top 100 Search Engines Other than Google 2008-03-04 07:13:00 Ask anyone which search engine they use to find information on the Internet and they will almost certainly reply: "Google
." Look a little further, and market research shows that people actually use four main search engines for 99.99% of their searches: Google, Yahoo!, MSN, and Ask.com (in that order)But,in that .01% lies a vast multitude of the most innovative and creative search engines you have never seen.The Search

For example, let's look at the first thing that almost everyone sees when they go to search the Internet - the ubiquitous Google homepage.

Top 17 Search Innovations Outside Of Google 2008-03-04 07:00:00 There are an abundance of new search engines, each pioneering some innovation in search technology. Here is a list of the top 17 innovations that, in my opinion, will prove disruptive in the future. These innovations are classified into four types: Query Pre-processing; Information Sources; Algorithm Improvement; Results Visualization and Post-processing.[Some of these innovations are present in various Google
properties, but are either missing or available only in limited form in the main search page, as noted below.] Query Pre-processing The main purpose of this type of enhancement is the application of logic to try to divine the user's intent, and apply that knowledge to improve the query specification. 1.

If you don't know the meaning of a word, the pictures may help you.3. A better search for Flickr. Google uses information from other sites that link to Flickr photos, so you may find Google search better.4. Find what's interesting about a site, by looking at the pictures included.

10 Cool but Not Known Google Services 2008-02-19 05:41:00 If you were to interview a broad cross-section of internet users and ask them about Google
services, probably most of them would enthusiastically talk about Gmail or Google Reader. At the very least, they would mention Google’s superior search engine. But how many people do you think would discuss being able to set up customised RSS feeds in Google News? Or being able to download source code in Google Code? How many people would know that Google offers various possibilities for users to help improve their products? Here are some Google services that need a lot more loving :) (1) Google Labs This is where new Google products are first given the beta label and unleashed onto an unsuspecting world for testing and commenting.

177 Run Commands 2008-03-26 09:13:00 Do you use the Run feature in Windows XP? For most, this feature remains unused (or rarely used). Why is that? Well, First off nearly all of the Run Commands
Correspond to a particular Control Panel Item or a Utility, Tool or Task that can be accessed through Windows. There are, however, tools and utilities that I bet you never knew you had that can be accessed through the Run feature. The main reason most people don't use the Run feature is because they don't know the Commands.
