what is google apps? can someone tell me lol

Google Apps is a service from Google to let you use your domain names with many Google products like gmail, Google Docs,Google talk etc... For example you can use your own domain name to provide gmail service to your site members.

This may look like membername@yoursite.com. Goolge apps users can login into their mail at google apps page and can

use it like normal gmail account. They can chat, send mails etc...but the domain is yours.

Standard edtion of Google apps is free. You'll get 100 gmail accounts with standard editon. Same storage like normal gmail accounts with text ads. Goto google apps page to register or for more details.

In my opinion GMail is the best. I am using both GMail and Yahoo for different purposes. But I like the GMail most. GMail has many advantages over yahoo. Some of them are,

 

Simple look: GMail looks very simple and has attractive User Interface. And works very fast once you loaded inbox.

No need to check again and again for new mails. It will automatically take care of itself.

 

Integrated Chat: GMail provides chatting directly through our browsers window from your mailbox. Yahoo also added this service recently, but it needs Flash Plugin and you need to sign in for chat again.

 

Spam Portection: GMail's spam filtering works very well. Of course Yahoo also had spam filtering. But GMails is better.

Because, Most of my important mails are going to spam folder in Yahoo. But that didn't happen to me with gmail till now.

 

Less Advertisements: GMail will show you a small number of advertisements, that too text ads. But yahoo will show more graphical ads.

 

Free POP3: GMail is providing the POP3 access free. So you can download mails directly to your favourtie mail client on your system. But you need to pay for that service in yahoo.

 

Yahoo has a paid version for more features...But gmail is free....

And many more reasons. So, I prefer GMail than Yahoo.

@Xpress - I somewhat agree with you but these result doesn't mean we stop using a Good Security Suite. It only means that we should use continuously apply patches as and when they are released. But then, I've had bad experiences with patches also

Yeah I agree. But I am not saying to stop using Security Suites. What I mean is, these Internet Security Suites are costly. But they are not providing the perfect security. Free Softwares also providing that much of security. So, my point is, If the free softwares can provide that much security, then why should we pay for these Security suites?
And I agree with you about the patches. Some times these patches will cause problems, and they need patches. Patches need patches to solve the problems created by these patches...really funny.

Yeah, I already read this article. Symantec is the winner of their tests. But none of them are perfect. I don't really believe in these Internet Security suites. Most of them are really can't provide the optimal security for the users. They are waste of our money. And it was proved. I think staying with free softwares will save money for people. They will provide the same level protection. For example, instead of paying for a complete security suite we can install a good free Antivirus like Avira, a free Spyware detector like Ad-Aware and a firewall like Kerio Personal Firewall or Ashampoo firewall. They will provide most of the security proivded by these so called Internet suites. And applying atleast major security patches regularly will also gives users more security.

The next operating system which will hopefully be released is 'Windows Vienna'. Thats all I know for now. But lets wait and see until 2009-2010, whether Windows 7 will actually be released from Microsoft.

The next version of windows will be Windows 7. "Windows Vienna" was the code name for this project. And Microsoft recently changed it to Windows 7. As per some sources Windows 7 will be the final name for its next product(Windows 7 was also code name, but many people saying that Microsoft confirmed recently that Windows 7 is the final name for its next OS).
Microsoft is planning to ship this version Windows 7 in 2010. Windows 7 will be built on some Vista's foundations just like its Server 2008. Some of the major changes in Windows 7 are Kernel, Virtualization and Sensors. Microsoft is also improving User Account Control.

Microsoft has created a new application User Interface for Windows 7. It is codenamed Scenic. It will give applications a new look and feel. And it is customizable also. The special shell folders(like music, documents etc.) are renamed to Libraries.

Some other changes are Support To mutli-touch technologies, Removing the sidebar, Small number of bundled applications and changing its Windows Security Center's name to Windows Solution Center and added new monitors. This Windows Solution Center will also monitor backup, troubleshooting etc...

Windows 7 will include Internet Explorer 8, Windows Media Player 12, Windows Media Center and Latest Microsoft Paint softwares. And many sources are saying that Windows 7 will use less RAM and other resources compared to Vista.
Hope Windows 7 will rock like Windows XP.

Usually Nokia is popular for its quality, tech support and battery life. And also very flexible. You can find thousands of 3rd party applications available for Nokia phones. So, you can customize your phone, and convert it into your personal assistant, music player etc...And you can find Nokia services centers everywhere. Sony Ericsson is popular for its sound quality. If you are music lover, than no other phone gives that much of music experience you have with Sony. And many 3rd party applications are available for Sony also, but not as much as Nokia. Motorola gives best features for low cost. But not that much flexible. You'll find less 3rd party applications when compared to the other two. LG is the cheap option available. very low cost, and more features. But I think LG is not that much reliable. Nokia dominates all other mobiles in our country.

My most favourite movies are

 

The Matrix Triology. Matrix is my all time favourit movie.

 

The first part, The Matrix is my most favourite. And the climax is really superb. Knowing thyself is the theme of this movie. Nothing can be created nor destroyed. Neo understand this, and eventually became immortal. The training of Neo is very inspiring.

 

And about the second part The Matrix Reloaded, Fights are really excellent. This part doesn't have an ending. It continues to the third part. The bike riding scene of Trinity in this movie is excellent.

 

And the third and final part, The Matrix Revolutions, is very good. He choose to fight with Smith, to save ZION from Machines. He knows he can only fight with Smith and save zion from machines. And he succeded in his task, by sacrificing his life at the end. Excellent action episodes are plus points for this triology.

 

The Gladiator. It is one of the best movies I had ever seen. The best theme i like in the movie is leadership. A great Warrior became a slave unfortunately, the way he lead the team in Gladiatories and for his country are marvellous. We can learn how a leader looks like from this movie.

 

Spider Man series. Spiderman is my hero since my child hood. I used to watch all comic series in TV. Now its movies turn. I like the third part very much. It has the inner theme about friendship. His friend sacrifice his life for spiderman. I like that particular scene verymuch.

 

The Day After Tomorrow Nice story, nice sentiment between father and his son. Excellent graphics etc...turn this movie into one of my favourites.

How about we develop our own virus-scanners? I know it will be tough work, but we will need excellent coders. Or, Microsoft/Apple/Linux should make a brand new OS which won't allow you to download these virus-makers. xD
I wonder who actually made the first virus in the world of computers...

We need some powerful Open Source antivirus for Windows. If there is some project, I will definitely volunteer to make it best and more powerful.

I read somewhere that, two Pakistani guys made (or invented) the first virus in the world.

Awsome good job it works great!!
Although not all sites work some still say blocked


I hope someone does eventually bypass this and shares it!

It uses the same IE engine. Nothing related to network hack. So, you can only see the website you are allowed to(that is, you can access only websites you can view with other browsers). To access other websites that were blocked try a proxy website.
For example go to guardster free proxy site.
If this website is not blocked in your network, then you can access almost any website. Just type in the website you want to go in the given address field, and the website will be displayed for you.(Anonymous access). Of course accessing websites through proxy have some limitations. But works nice. If guardster is blocked, then google for "proxy websites" and you may find someone that works for you. Just try.

Thanks bittr, I have some similar doubts. You saved me from lot of typing.

I have another question.

Xisto Forums and Xisto Forums will earn credits individually and deposit the money in your account at Xisto - Support.com. So members are free to post anywhere provided the E-mail address is maintained on the registration profile is same

Does this means, if I register an account at Xisto forums with the same email address I registered here, and started posting at Xisto forums, the amount will be added to my Xisto - Support account? Does this means, I can be active at the two forums simultaneously?

Anyway, very interesting additions with the version 3 of credit system. I am very happy.

Yes, I had seen many. When I opened a site, suddenly a pop up appear says that, my computer had infected by dangerous viruses or it has some critical errors. Really they are annoying. They are fake and meaning less. They didn't scan our system, and even can't access it. But the ads shows that, we have viruses and errors and need to buy their software. This is cheating. But I never thought that users fall for that. Hmmm....In the past, they were victims of only viruses, but nowthey were victims of antiviruses also. I don't think installing a complete security suite will solve all the problems. And these so called security suites are costly also. The free antiviruses are not providing complete security. They are just providing basic security, and advertising their other products. And forcing us to buy their complete security suites or we'll be attacked by so and so viruses and hackers. Innocent people falls for that. The only solution is awareness, more awareness among users. And the more interest they have in security, the more safe they will be.

Usually most of the time I search on google for Ebooks and coursese. Mostly on network security and Hacking, my favourite subject. And sometimes I search for new softwares and latest mp3 songs, torrents, softwares for my mobile and many more.

Why don't you try the FireBoard once, which I mentioned in my above post. No bridge needed for that. Just give it a try. No bridge problems. If you don't like it, then switch to another.

Who likes dial up? Everyone hates it. I used dialup for 4 years. It gives me the worst experience. And about the phones bills, my god. They were nightmares for me. And I tried to connect from my mobile phone. And that too slow. Hours and hours for even a small file. The only best experience is, due to its worst speed, I learned many things and found some useful softwares to speed up my connection. Recently, I changed to Broadband(ADSL) connection. The speed is upto 2mbps. Amazing. I never thought that internet could be this much exciting. Downloads in minutes. Super fast browsing. And many......I Love Broadband. And I hate dialup.

Hi SM! Did you problem solved? if solved, then I will also submit a support ticket. Submitting ticket is the only way we can do? No alternatives that we can solve ourselves?

Hmmm......You asked for an entire web development course in a single question

 

I don't know much about templates. But I will tell you something about HTML, PHP and MySql.

 

First,

How does HTML work with PHP.

Actually HTML doesn't work directly with PHP. PHP is a server side scripting language, like javascript which is for client side. A scripting language actually does something in response to an event(s). Since PHP is server side language, first we need a Web Server, to process the PHP code and PHP language and its libraries. We embed the PHP code into HTML page with

<?php and ?> tags. The code will be on the server side. The client cannot see that. When a user requested a page with PHP, the server executes the PHP code, and will show the result in HTML page. That is the html part in the PHP page

will be displayed.

 

To make it simple, I will give you an example.

 

For example, you want to develop login page into some xyz.com site. So, the login page has two fields...username and password and a button to submit them. Let the page be login.html. The fileds username, password and submit are a part of a form in the login.html page. The form generates the event(I already told you, scripting language needs an event to start) when you click submit button. The form has an option(action what to do). When you click the submit button it executes the action.

Since you want to login, let the action be processlogin.php. That means, when you click the submit button, the processlogin.php page will be initiated at the served and the username and password will be sent to it.

 

(Sending information to server invloves two methods GET and POST. They are somewhat technical. So I will explain them simply. When you click the button, if you can see the username and password in your browsers address bar it

is GET request. If they don't appear at address bar it is POST request.)

 

First let us assume our login.html page will do the following things.

1. It displays the fields username, password and submit button.

2. If the userclicks the submit button, it sends the username and password to processlogin.php page.

 

So, let us come to the server side. Assume our processlogin.php page will do the following things.

1. First it receives the username and password.

2. It connects to the database. (MySql, for example)

3. It verifies the username and password pair.

4. If the pair matches it gives you welcome message. Or if it fails, it will tell you invalid username or password.

5. Disconnect from database.

 

How PHP connects to the database? PHP has some methods to connect to database, for example mysql_connect. Using this method mysql connects to some database we specify.

 

After that PHP executes some query at database(using mysql_query method. For example, assume this query

select * from logindetails where name='username'). Let us call it result.

 

Next our PHP code compares the username and password with the result. As per the result, it executes the 4th step. That is

it displays the HTML part of our processlogin.php page. And it will disconnect from database. simple....

 

I tried my best to make it simple and general rather than technical. If you know something about database and HTML you'll understand it easily. If you can't understand anything or something, ask me and I am glad to expalin it in detail.

I agree. We can't even imagine about the future of mobile phones. They are improving that much fast.

Theyll probably be new software which links mobiles to a computer and allows the person to access all the files they have on their computer through the phone.

Already many third party applications are available to access your desktop. Of course. Limited functionality. In the near furure, definitely we can access the system completely.

In 20 years phones which use hologram technology. Probably shorter then that theyll have mobiles which are simply chips in your glasses or in your ear, even your brain

.Mobile is already a part of our life. In the future, it will become a part of our body. I don't think it will take 20 years for that.
In the future mobile phones can respond to our mood. It will be our personal assistant(with thinking capability).

XP is really a big success for Microsoft. Vista is not that much. And XP is the most reliable Operating System from them.Vista sucks...really. I don't like it. Too much graphics. Microsoft stopping Windows XP sales? May be...We should wait for their next OS...Windows7 or some thing..Many predictions are there that, it will use very low resources....Vista is useless.

Do you have a domain registered? If you do, then you can use Google Apps service to have yourname@yourdomain id.

With the standard edition(free) you can add upto 100 users to your domain. (for example you can add

user1@yourdmain). Each user have 7GB storage per account. And you can use all other services like Google Talk and

Google calendar etc...You can have also 10 GB shared storage for Google sites. Goto google apps and find more. You can sign up for standard account here google apps signup.

Obviously Invincibility-No sickness, never get hurt. Maintaining good health is very hard these days.

Actually the first one that came into my mind when I looked at the list is Speed-Faster, way faster. Because I have lot

of work to do and learn, but I have very small amount of time (the problem for most of youth). But immediately

a warning written on our roads came into my mind...Speed Thrills, But It Kills . Really it is. So, I skipped.

 

Invincibility is the best option. I can achieve any other thing if I am Invincible. I can work hard, more hard...harder than

I can, I will skip sleeping...and many oher things...and eventually break my time limit. I am invincible. I can get power, I can get unlimited rapidshare accounts, I can get wisdom and many...and any....

Invisibility also interesting. It is fun some times, but not always.

Agree. But the look and user interface are excellent. Looking very cool. But, unlike other hosting providers no different package details on the home page and no package comparisons just as you said. So a bit difficult for visitors. And no favicon. But everything else is OK. Navigation is also very good.

and one thing more ...when u open a link in a new tab..it opens the tab...adjacent to the page through which u opened it ...so it keeps the similar pages together or grouped..

Hmmm...Its not a new feautre special to Chrome. Most browsers with tabbled browsing already have this feature, for example Opera. In Opera, you can customize this option to open the new tab next to active tab, or to open normally.
I agree with you about crashing. May be this is the only feature in Chrome, that other browsers lack.

Superb. So, Xisto is going to give us paid hosting experience .Of course, we are already getting service equal to paid hosting, but now the real experience also...very interesting. Will there be any changes in rules? Since, credits are going to be converted into real cash, there may be possibililty that users try to be more active with silly posts (I think). Do we need to register now? or after the system introduced?

I am not impressed by Google Chrome. It's not as interesting as I thought. Many called its very light. But I don't think so. It is using approx 20MB for every new tab. And it lacks many features. No options to customize to our needs. No option to block flash content. I think it should have options to disable the plugins it has. May be, future versions include these options and more extensions. Its speed dial is also not good. It keeps adding on its own, and the contents in the dial pad are changing when we go to new sites. Then whats the use with speed dial? Actually, I am using firefox with AdBlock, and in my Opera also I blocked many adds. When I started using chrome, I was annoyed by the ads and flashes. At present Google Chrome is not even near to the Firefox. May be better than Internet Explorer. Hope future versions of Chrome rocks.

Nice. But change the user interface. Change the home page first. Make it interesting. Its just looking like a simple page, we test on our computers when we learn. And, since the back button won't work, highlight "back to results" and forward and backward options to navigate through results easily. Anyway, nice idea...and nice site.
