Define RSS Feeds

June 2nd, 2009

The abbreviation RSS stands for rich site summary as well as real simply syndication. You should note that this is the need of the hour. Most of the web masters cannot live without it. You might own a website but you might lack the money to hire the required manpower to effectively update your website. What will you do then? Suppose you have a website which is related to the current updates of the sports in America. It is quiet sure that you would like to display the latest on American sports, but you alone cannot do such a large quantity of updating. What will you do? This article is about the same.

I would start with the answer to the last question of the above paragraph. You can really update you website by using the RSS feed. This is one of the method through which you can automatically update your website.

I would now like to list the name of each type of persons who are benefited by the RSS. I will explain how they are benefited. Let’s start with the webmasters:

1. Benefit to the webmasters
Web masters are in continuous search of the fresh content for their website. The question really is how to get that fresh content. Here is where the RSS comes into play. The term RSS is quiet old and it first come into play years before. But this was not known to the common people. But now the RSS have become quiet popular and in fact all the web masters are using it for their cause.
Moreover the RSS feed are made in XML. This make then quiet easier to be parsed by the web masters and the can present the content in the way they like with little bit of updating.

2. Benefits for the web surfers
The web surfers are in constant search of the information which they want. They really have the desire that all the information which they need should be available at one place. This is made possible with the help of the RSS feed. You should also be quiet static to note that there is also not the problem of the spam with the RSS. RSS feed are supposed to be free from all the span content and they are supposed to be the safest of all.

In a nutshell you can say that the RSS are quiet helpful because of the following reasons:

  1. It helps in locating the information easily.
  2. Read condensed information.
  3. As well as feel free from spam.

Hence you can reach to only one conclusion and that is the RSS feed are the demand of the present world.

Level Up Health Care with Network Technology

May 16th, 2009

The health care in US has really been suffering from lots of points because of many factors. However the president Obama has really decided that he is going to do something in this field and he has fixed $500 billion for this purpose. However the medical software has not yet come up to the mark as compared to the web technology 2.0.

Lots of works are being done by Cisco which is one of the leading hardware and networking company around the world and is promising to provide the fast as well as the most reliable network which you would have ever seen. In fact if want the doctors to conduct the operation from far away or the remote location then they will definitely need the video conferencing facilities through which he can guide the doctors present in the operation theatre.

The medical communication technology is still in its fancy stage. Not only me but all of the experts feels that they have lot to do in order to implement the computer technology in the field of medicine. The computer experts are dreaming of the day when the patients will be able to browse through the list of doctors throughout the world so that they can take the benefit of the online consultancy. There is a very serious project going on too. In fact there is an attempt to bring all the doctors of the country online within three years.

It is also believed that the database containing all the patients’ records of all the hospitals would definitely revolutionize the whole medicinal world. It would simply be great. Just think of this facility from the eyes of a doctor. Suppose some patient comes to you and you want to know his history. Just think that the patient’s record is being sorted out on the basis of the social security number. You will just have to type the social security number and you will get the detail of the patient. I do feel that this is one of the most beautiful feeling of which the doctors always think of. This will definitely make the job of the doctors easier.

I have been in the field of computers for a long period of time. And I know that all you have to do is to prepare a database at first. Once you have made the database you need to define your query tools. And yes all of this has to be a web application.

In fact the all over the world an attempt is being made to produce such database. However you should keep in mind that it is not so easy and it will be a tremendous achievement.

How Computers Are Used For Forensics

May 4th, 2009

Computer Forensics is the branch of forensic science that makes the use of latest technologies for analyzing, collecting and processing information pertaining to criminals or crimes. Computer Forensics has become a popular tool for criminal investigators, corporate counsel, and prosecutors as the information obtained is accurate and reliable. The field of Computer Forensics also has subdivisions in it such as Firewall Forensics, Database Forensics and Mobile Device Forensics.

Computer Forensics is fast becoming a hot topic in the world of forensic investigations. There are altogether five basic steps to Computer Forensics- preparation of data, collection of data, examination, analysis and reporting. The investigators of crime use their knowledge and skills to identify and restore formatted, corrupted, deleted or hidden files from computers or other electronic media. Computer Forensics can also enable the investigators to obtain any encrypted data with the help of specialized software.

Computer Forensics is also used by law enforcement officers as a large percentage of crimes utilize digitally stored data in some form or the other. The data could either be a phone call made on a mobile phone, which could signify the presence of an individual at the scene of a crime, (or of course away from it), accounts for illegal activities such as drug sales, unauthorized data duplication, IP theft, images of paedophilia, human resource issues, hacking, email abuse etc.

Computer Forensics can be used in various cases such as Divorce, electronic investigation, litigation support, intellectual property dispute matters, Insurance scam, corporate counsel support, litigation support, corporate e-mail inquiry and expert witness service. Computer Forensic investigators are required not only to solve criminal cases as well as issues of hacking within the company.

Computer Forensics has played a major role in the solution of many criminal cases. I will describe some of the famous cases. The first one is that of Chandra levy, a Washington intern who disappeared on April 30, 2001. She used web and e-mail to make arrangements for herself and contact her parents. Hence the information found on her computer made it possible for the police to search for her dead body later on.

Another case was that of a serial killer, Dennis Rader who committed killings for 16 years. Metadata within the documents implicated an author named “Dennis” at “Christ Lutheran Church”; this evidence helped lead to Rader’s arrest.

So, you can see how Computer Forensics has played a major role in resolving major critical cases and issues. Computer Forensics has revolutionized the entire scenario of crimes and criminal investigations and it is expected that this field will revolutionize the scenario of criminal investigations in the near future.

Computing Machinery and Intelligence

March 26th, 2009

The computer machinery and intelligence is the seminar topic and a scientific research paper being produced by the Alan Turing in the year 1950. This paper was being submitted on behalf of the artificial intelligence. The scientist Turing really questioned that is their any scientific machine which can think. In other words he really wanted to know that is artificial intelligence possible. He presented his topic on the same theory.

He said that we are not able to provide the artificial intelligence because we are replacing one question by another question. And hence we are not really providing the basic thing which our mind uses to solve various problems.

Turing test
This is one of the tests which can really be used to find out whether the machine has artificial intelligence or not. I really feel that you will be able to identify whether the computer which you are using is processing the artificial intelligence or not.

In this test we play an imitation game. We are three in all. The first one is me, the second one is the machine and the third one is the human judge.

The judge asks the same question from me and the machine. Both I and the machine try to convince the judge that we are human. However if the judge is not able to find out that who is human then the machine wins the race otherwise it looses and it is quiet clear then that who is human.

Turing really tried hard to provide the artificial intelligence but in vain. If you will study the subject automata then you will definitely learn about the Turing machine.

You must know that there are many kinds of the grammar. One of them is the regular grammar. In this case we use the Turing machine. I really feel that Turing also dreamed or working on the digital format to provide the artificial intelligence. He thought that the Turing machine of which we are talking of will really be able to provide the artificial intelligence. He gave two reasons.

  1. First, there is no reason to consider whether or not they can exist. They already did in 1950.
  2. Second, digital machinery is “universal.” He really thought that all digital computers are really universal. Hence he thought that if any digital computer can act in the way that it is thinking then almost all the digital computers or the digital machines can really think in the same way.

I really feel that the Turing machine is really one of the steps which we have taken towards the artificial intelligence. I really hope that very soon we will be able to provide the artificial intelligence. However the biggest dilemma with the artificial intelligence is that as soon as some method is discovered, it is no longer considered as the artificial intelligence.

Car Giant Foresees the Non-polluting, Accident-proof Saloon

March 20th, 2009

Today common people feel annoyed while traveling along the road due to pollution. Accidents are commonly seen along the roadside. The rates of petrol are rapidly increasing. It is believed that there would be no petrol in future. Thus scientists and mechanical engineers are trying to obtain a design of vehicle which could solve these entire problems and hence make earth green for future generation.

Vision of Various Well Known Companies

  1. Toyota has set the vision for making accident proof eco -cars which could be powered by non polluting engine.
  2. World’s biggest carmaker for year 2008 was The Japanese group. This group says that its vision is to design an engine which could run on hydrogen produced using renewable energy.
  3. Katsuaki Watanabe and its chief executive stated that for us to become authentic one in quality.  Our companies have to realize about fact of dream vehicle which makes air cleaner thus makes people healthier, never makes people injured, can run on single tank fuel from London to Istanbul. He stated that he wants remove the damage from the environment caused due to cars. He said that he wants to plan for the period when world could reserve oil and gases which runs out of oil.
  4. The number of vehicles running on the road increased from 750million to 1.2 billion due to increase in population. This fact was brought in to light by firm’s 21st Century Group of executives and experts studies.

For Saving Environment
Researchers of Toyota have already created a concept series for cars. For example Fine X, this uses hydrogen cells as a fuel and could cover more than 300 miles at the speed of 125mph. There are some hydrogen stations to fill the on-board battery which are located at several places. Under the Hino brand, there are various Fuel-cell hybrid buses and trucks which are running under some cities.

Problems for Making Vehicles Which Run On Hydrogen

Mr. Abe disclosed that main problem while manufacturing such vehicle is, its total cost and cost of road and rail network required for the hydrogen economy. Storage of hydrogen, decomposition of waste material after obtaining hydrogen was some of problems which occurred with manufacturing of these types of vehicles.

Thus researches are going on for obtaining vehicles which are accompanied with number of benefits and are relatively less costly.

February 16th, 2009

Pets are one thing which we all like to have. Everyone has different reason and everyone has a different choice. Some like to tame a tiger while some like cat, some may be interested in a Labrador while some may fancy squirrels or a guinea pig.  Every one of us has a particular liking and some of us are able to have one. But most of us are not able to do so and thee are again reason for it. Some may not be able to have a pet dog just because other family members are allergic to them while some cannot because they have no time to look after them.

Internet technology has come up with a solution for such individuals in the form of cyber pets. These are the animation pets which behave and act much like the real world animals. You can feed them, train then and rear them just like you would do to your real world pet except for a difference that they have their existence in virtual world.

Cyber pets are the virtual pets which you not only can tame but also train. These are the electronic animals which are like the real animals except that they exist in the virtual world. The cyber pet is an animation. They are also called as the virtual pets, desktop pets or computer pets.  You can access them anytime you want, twenty four hours all seven days a week and for this you don’t have to pay any charge. Cyber pets live in virtual world on your computer desktop.

The Pros and Cons of Web Conference Calling

February 11th, 2009

Web conferencing is really a new use of internet and has really revolutionized the net meeting. You must have heard about the conferencing facility provided by various mobile services. I must say that this is quiet similar to what I am going to talk about. As far as the web conferencing is concerned I must say that you are free to talk to more people all at a time and would also be able to see them.

This has really become very prominent as far as the web conferencing is concerned. I must say that you will definitely find web conferencing to be very useful if you want to organize a meeting between three colleagues of which the first one is you and the other two are situated at New York and Denver.

You must find it to be really important that all of you have to know clearly that what the other two want. For example you should know that what the other two of your colleague wants. I must say that this is really not possible if you are just typing. You need to know the facial expression as well.  Only then you will come to know that what the other two wants from you and whatever which he is saying is true or not.

Advantages of web conferencing

I would like to list the following points which will prove that the web conferencing is really very advantageous. They are as follows:

  1. It is easy, open and affordable.
  2. You will rarely require any installation to host/join meetings.
  3. You will get the easy share screens and WebPages.
  4. Audio and video conferencing are also provided.
  5. It allows you to present PowerPoint and PDFs.
  6. You can also enjoy the private and public chat.
  7. You will also be provided with the whiteboard and annotations.
  8. You can record and play back meetings.

If you will look at the advantages which I have listed above then you will definitely find the last point to be most interesting. I must say that you will definitely find put that you can also record the meeting for future use. Your partner can really fool you sometimes. In those cases you can take use of these recorded meetings and then you will be able question the fellow who is cheating you.

Effective use of the PowerPoint and PDF files really makes it a lot easier as far as the presentation is concerned.

Apart from all this you will use gadgets like head phone and web cam. This will be in order to make the web conferencing popular. I do feel it is a great technology and every body should really use it.
