The first touchscreen was implemented at Switzerland’s CERN laboratories. Though a device that created buttons on a touch-responsive display already existed, it was unwieldy and required an awkwardly large frame. The solution proposed by CERN member Bent Stumpe was to etch a set of electric capacitors into a film of copper, which was then joined with the glass screen. A touch would increase the capacity, sending a signal to the computer.

.

The screens were developed for use in the central control of CERN’s SPS division, and they remained in use at the facility for over 20 years. Compare that to your smartphone, which is lucky to get through the unboxing process without voiding the warranty.

The world’s first smartphone hit the market on August 16, 1994. Its name was Simon. It was produced by IBM, and as smartphones go, it certainly contained most of the features we’re used to: email, predictive typing, even a rudimentary version of “apps” by way of plugging in a memory card to get more features. It also weighed over a pound, was the size of an actual brick, and cost almost $1,000.

.

Even though only 50,000 devices were sold, and even though it predates the existence of web browsers, Simon has still managed to influence the industry in a huge way: Today, smartphone manufacturers must still pay royalties to IBM and BellSouth, who hold many Simon-related patents on standard smartphone features like highlighting text on a touchscreen and remote activation. 

in simple words, proxy server is a computer or an application program that act as a bridge for request from clients(users) asking resource from other servers.a client connects to the proxy server requesting some service such as a file or a web page available in the other servers.

both of them representing mobile internet.simply socket connection means,a connection without proxy and port. but http(wap) connection have proxy and port.if u uses a socket connection(like airtel mo) the connection pings the data and make the connection stabl e.in the case of operamini, we get more speed if we uses socket connection.

the full form of ip is internet protocol. Every person who entering into a gprs network will assign a ip address. The address of our house is used to track the place of house.like that ip is used to track all information of a gprs user. All will get unique ip address.port is the connection router number of a server.

This method of earning is very easy and simple. Just purchase a domain name(try to make an attractive domain name) and then point your domain to parking website other then your own hosting server or space. Many websites and firms offer the feature of domain parking. Some popular websites are GoDaddy, Afernic, Sedo etc.After changing your hosting server name to the parking server, they will change your domain into a single paged proper website having some links related to your domain name and when your domain will be visited or someone will try to search your domain from search engines and when the visitors use the links on that page, you will get the earnings. And a small amount of earnings will go to the website which is parking your domain.That’s it, simply buy a domain and park to the website you want to and start earning without doing anything. It’s the best way of earning online for those who can not write or create websites.

Purchasing the domain name is not so difficult and costly. GoDaddy provides the domain name in just 8.95$ for a year.Best of luck!

The Chinese-language of the Dalai Lama’s Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) has been hacked and infected with malware.

According to security firm Kaspersky Lab, the Website for the Tibetan government-in-exile has been compromised and poisoned with malicious software that may be used to spy on visitors to the site.

Technical evidence points to hackers who have carried out previous cyber attacks on various human rights groups throughout Asia.

Several groups—such as the newly re-surfaced Comment Crew—have mounted attacks on organizations around the world that oppose Chinese government policies. According to Kaspersky, the CTA site has been under attack from the same group of hackers since 2011, but previous breaches have been quietly identified and repaired.

Oracle has joined the market for pre-integrated systems intended to ease the process of setting up and managing a virtualized compute environment.

The Oracle Virtual Compute Appliance, released on Tuesday, includes Oracle x86 servers and storage hardware, along with network virtualization technology that Oracle acquired last year when it bought Xsigo Systems.

The promise of such appliances is that most of the set-up and wiring is done by the vendor at the factory, leaving customers with a minimum of configuration work to get the box running, reducing the room for error.

Other vendors, such as NetApp and EMC, already offer pre-integrated systems for virtualization. Oracle contends it will have an edge because it owns the virtualization stack it uses, including the OS, hypervisor and applications.

“We’re the only vendor that has full-stack capabilities,” said Adam Hawley, Oracle’s senior director of product management for virtualization.

The Virtual Compute Appliance differs from the high-end “Exa” machines that Oracle already sells. Those systems, like the Exadata Database Machine, are designed for maximum performance, while the virtualization appliance is designed for “extreme ease of use,” Hawley said.

It can also run third-party software, which the Exa machines generally can’t. Customers can run pretty much “all the viable x86 operating systems,” Hawley said, including Oracle Linux, Oracle Solaris, Red Hat Linux and Windows.

Oracle offers around 120 virtual templates for its applications, to make loading them on the machine easier. It estimates how much CPU, memory and other resources the various workloads need, and the machine configures itself to those specs when the templates are loaded.

Samsung’s curvy new 55-inch OLED TV will allow two users to watch different full-HD programs simultaneously on the same screen—with the help of special glasses.

Not only will this “MultiView” technology give each viewer a look at standard HD streams, but one—or both (!)—viewers can watch a full-HD 3D presentation. Each pair of “3D Active” glasses comes fit with speakers that will allow viewers to hear the corresponding audio stream. Viewers can adjust the volume or toggle between sources with controls fitted on the side of the glasses.

TinyFader2 is a 2KB JavaScript slider code that is completely configurable through robust options. It is an upgrade to the previous TinyFader version adding a number of requested features and making additional improvements. It gracefully degrades without JavaScript support and is totally customizable using CSS.

Here are the current features:

Tucked away in a single streetview image of what appears to be a mere police box, a newly discovered Google Maps easter egg lets you go inside the TARDIS.

How to do it:

• Click this LINK (Note: If you’re enrolled in the new Google Maps UI beta, this won’t work. See the note below.)
• Move your mouse around a bit. The standard Google Maps directional arrows should pop up, with one little addition: a pair of double arrows. Click those
• Bam! You should now be in the TARDIS’ bigger-on-the-inside (smaller-on-the-outside) interior.
