• Search Engine Spammers will create fake user profiles at Facebook to like their own websites in order to game the system.
• More sophisticated spammers will develop a bot that could Like or +1 a webpage from different location with different IP addresses, making it difficult for the search engines to determine whether the data gathered was real or artificial.

Chromebooks are built and optimized for the web, where you already spend most of your computing time. So you get a faster, simpler and more secure experience without all the headaches of ordinary computers. Acer and Samsung will be the first manufacturers to offer Google Chromebooks, for between US$349 and US$499, in the United States.

6 Reasons Why You Should Switch To Chromebook

• Chromebooks boot in 8 seconds and resume instantly. As your Chromebook boots up, it quickly connects to your favorite wireless network so you’re on the web right from the start.
• Chromebooks are designed to get faster over time as updates are released. Unlike Windows 7, your Chromebook gets better and better over time. When you turn it on, it updates itself automatically. All of your applications stay up-to-date, and you get the latest and greatest version of the operating system without having to think about it. There will be no annoying update prompts.
• Your favorite websites load quickly and run smoothly, with full support for the latest web standards and Adobe Flash.
• Chromebooks run the first consumer operating system designed from the ground up to defend against the ongoing threat of viruses and malware. They employ the principle of “defense in depth” to provide multiple layers of protection, including sandboxing, data encryption, and verified boot.
• Every Chromebook runs millions of web apps, from games to spreadsheets to photo editors. Thanks to the power of HTML5, many apps keep working even in those rare moments when you’re not connected.
• It’s easy to get connected anytime and anywhere with built-in Wi-Fi and 3G.

My Windows 7 takes more than 5 minutes to boot. That means Windows 7 is wasting 5 minutes of my precious time a day. With Chromebook, I am expected to 1825 minutes (30.4 hours) per year. If all you ever do is surfing the net, then you should consider switching to Google Chromebook.

HTML 5 Logo

Google I/O 2011

Mobile and desktop are converging on HTML5 as a strong, portable base for delivering rich experiences. Come learn about the future of HTML5, CSS, DOM, and JavaScript that will help you build better, richer apps even faster.

HTML 5 is the latest revision of the HTML standard that was originally created in 1990 and most recently standardized as HTML4 in 1997 and currently remains under development. Its core aims have been to improve the language with support for the latest multimedia while keeping it easily readable by humans and consistently understood by computers and devices (web browsers, parsers etc.). HTML5 is intended to subsume not only HTML4, but XHTML1 and DOM2HTML (particularly JavaScript) as well.

HTML5 introduces a number of new elements and attributes that reflect typical usage on modern websites. Some of them are semantic replacements for common uses of generic block (<div>) and inline (<span>) elements, for example <nav> (website navigation block), <footer> (usually referring to bottom of web page or to last lines of HTML code), or <audio> and <video> instead of <object>. Some deprecated elements from HTML 4.01 have been dropped, including purely presentational elements such as <font> and <center>, whose effects are achieved using Cascading Style Sheets. There is also a renewed emphasis on the importance of DOM scripting (e.g., JavaScript) in Web behavior.

The HTML5 syntax is no longer based on SGML despite the similarity of its markup. It has, however, been designed to be backward compatible with common parsing of older versions of HTML. It comes with a new introductory line that looks like an SGML document type declaration, <!DOCTYPE html>, which triggers the standards-compliant rendering mode. As of 5 January 2009, HTML5 also includes Web Forms 2.0, a previously separate WHATWG specification.

A Pakistani man posted in real-time on Twitter about the U.S. raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound. His name is Sohaib Athar (صہیب اطہر ), a 33 year old guy who lives in Abbottabad, Lahore, Pakistan. He has 18 years of programming experience.

Abbottabad Is Not In The Outskirts of Islamabad, Yet It Has Been Called That All Over The Media

I have talked to a few random channels so far, it is hard to prioritize and is getting even harder to take out the time for it. I want to talk to them because there is too much misreporting and many distorted facts are being reported and repeated all over the world – for example, Abbottabad is not in the outskirts of Islamabad, yet it has ben called that all over the media, hence creating a mental link between the Pakistani capital city and how Osama was living in Islamabad all along. (Sohaib Athar)

You can visit Sohaib Athar’s website at http://www.reallyvirtual.com/ . As of today, he has 105,511 followers on Twitter.
