Facebook Can Jumpstart HTML5 Platform with App Bookmarks on News Feed

February 06, 2012 Mark Smith No comments

The late-comer HTML5 mobile application platform of Facebook is lagging behind the Android marketplace and the Apple APP Store. Now Facebook has planned to dump HTML5 application bookmarks at the foot of its mobile website’s pull-out navigation menu and show them only in the Android Facebook and iOS application’s search bar. The initial step to attract developers to this platform and earn revenues can happen if the apps are placed on the top of mobile home page. Through Facebook mobile app platform which was launched in October, the social networks can earn handsome revenue through in-app payments and has a 30% tax on it. The applications run through internal web browser within Android apps and iOS is allowing it to evade Google and Apple’s tax. But the platform has not gained enough footing with users and developers. HTML5 needs time enough to mature before it can expertly handle the most advanced native apps. There are no advertisements to endorse the third-party apps within Facebook mobile apps and HTML5 site as the users are not installing them.

Facebook has been pulling its punches and it has millions of active mobile daily users who view the news feed first where the bookmarks are being tested. Facebook is expected to test to track whether the users click these bookmarks and if news feed engagement is decreased with their presence. If Facebook can attract more eyeballs on third-party app bookmarks keeping up the user experience, it can battle against Google and Apple’s mobile platform.

Mobile Website Design- The Next Generation Advertising

January 17, 2012 Mark Smith No comments

Today there are about 2.4 billion mobile users in this world. Among them 40% of these mobile users browse internet from their mobile handsets. It is an easy and portable way to stay connected. So it is predictable that mobile web browsing is the next predominant in the internet era.

Mobile Website Design has definitely become a necessity in our near future as everything around us is becoming mobile. We have millions of WAP mobile users in the world but businesses do not focus much on Mobile Web Design. Even if they focus, the websites do not load properly because special procedures are involved for designing a Mobile website. When you design a website for the computer users, you should consider that they are not compatible with mobile sets. In mobile phones, a technology called WAP is used for browsing. And there are some limitations in WAP browsers like screen size and download limit. So you need to strip down your original website. For Mobile Device Web Design, you need to change your website’s layout, design and also construction.

Mobile Website Design is the next generation marketing policy that companies will take over. In our mobile world, you will be able to carry your business in your pockets. This shift from desktops to smart phones has brought revolutionary changes in these cutthroat market strategies. If you do not have a mobile website, then you are losing probable business scopes. We hope that Mobile Device Web Design will overpower as a new change in action.

Some Key Facts Centering Round Ferrite Bead Coil

July 11, 2011 Patrick Tennyson

Some time ago I came across content where a design engineer experienced a strange occurrence. He had inserted ferrite bead in a circuit. What resulted out of this took him by surprise. The ferrite bead actually worsened the noise condition. The ferrite bead which was supposed to have suppressed unwanted noise had actually increased it. The occurrence had confused many who are dealing with EMI cases. A Ferrite Bead Coil is a high inductance material used in electrical components.

Ferrite Bead Coil Ferrite beads used in coils act as major impediment against very high frequency noise. The bead manufacturers ensure that the ferrite beads should possess higher impedance power against noise of very high frequency range. These beads which have high inductance power are capable of averting a part of noise energy. The rest is allowed to pass through. This is an electrical component acting as a resistor against noise energy. It actually absorbs noise from the electrical circuit with the help of a heating process.

Glitch Controversy – Apple Tracking the iPhone’s Location

April 28, 2011 Teresa Hampton

Apple admitted the fact of its storing the data (location information). But they commented that the uncovered date files is not the log of the location of the phone, rather it is the Wi-Fi hot spot list along with the location of the cell towers. This will help the cell to locate itself without depending on the GPS satellites.

iphone glitch Phone tracks the location – known to all of us. But what are they doing with the collected data is where the controversy lies! Google and Apple didn’t put any respond the FoxNews . com, who demanded for some additional information regarding the same.

However Apple commented that neither they tracked the iPhone’s location nor having any plan to do so. Then the question is – what about the location data iPhone users are seeing? Well as the Apple states – it’s nothing but the crowd sourced database of the cell towers and the Wi-Fi hotspots.

“This data is not the iPhone’s location data — it is a subset (cache) of the crowd-sourced Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower database which is downloaded from Apple into the iPhone to assist the iPhone in rapidly and accurately calculating location,” as the statement explained.

It is just to provide the improved traffic service to the iPhone users in next few years for which Apple is on the track to collect the traffic data and building the traffic database- crowd sourced one (It is totally the same argument Google put forward in 2009).

The company also added their release of the iOS will add a new feather to the protection layer and the cache will also be encrypted.

Will this help internet marketing companies even more? How will iPhone Software developers react to this?

Can Sony’s New Tablet PC Launch Beat Apple’s iPad? Wait and Watch

April 26, 2011 Mark Smith

Hoping for the 2^nd place in the market for the product that is not even launched is really a audacious dream! I am talking about Sony, who is to launch Tablet and expecting to beat Apple’s iPad… Who is simply ruling the market having the features that are simply BEST!

Well, dreams come true too… to check that out you need to wait for its launch and marketing. But before that you can take a look at the features and the “why to choose factor”

- Operating System – it is going to use Google Android 3.0 OS.

- Compatibility – Wi-Fi and 3G/4G compatible. Play station games can be played.

- Tablet names – (Product) – right now Sony is to launch S1 and S2.

- Display – S1 has the screen size of 9.4 inch.

S2 has the screen size of 5.5 inch having a folding option.

Kunimasa Suzuki – deputy president of “consumer products and services” is of the opinion that the sale of S1 and S2 will outweigh the sale of android powered iPad by 4 times. Between 2011 and 2015 they are expecting to get a sale of about 294 million units!

The main difference SONY is claiming is its looks and design. The recent share it holds in the market is 2.1 percent.

The biggest competitor of iPad in the market is no one but SAMSUNG’s GALAXY TAB! But, LG, HTC, MOTOROLA are also playing well, now we need to wait to find it out whether SONY can beat them to get the goal along with the goalkeeper – APPLE!!
