Apple and China Mobile sign deal to sell iPhones in January

In January Apple is planning to offer the IPhone to the more than 760 million china mobile customers which could help it to raise its share from the fifth position in the growing market.

Apples has already sells its phones in china through two other carriers in the country-- China Telecom and China Unicom but to deal with mobile, the largest in the country, has escaped it for some time. Reason may be behind it is that China Mobile uses a different wireless telecommunications standard from its competitors.

Samsung Electronics was the third largest player with having 21percent market share, surveyed by Lenovo with a 13 percent share. Yulong Computer telecommunication with 11 percent market share and Huawei with 9 percent has taken the third and fourth stage.

On December china issued 4G licenses to three local carriers including China Telecom, which has been Organizing base station across the country using a 4G technology recognized as LTE TDD (Long- Term Evolution Time Division Duplex).

Apple had been supporting china Telecom TD-SCDMA (Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access) 3G network technology but on Sunday it’s declared that the iPhones would run on both 4G TD-LTE and 3G TD-SCDMA networks.

By the end of the year according to a joint statement the two companies China Mobile 4G services will be available in 16 cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou. 

In 2014 china mobile plans to complete the rollout of more than 500,000 4G base stations, in which they will target more than 340 cities with 4G service, it added.

In September Apple added NTTDOCOMO, Japan's largest carrier, to its list of customers for the iPhone.

GOOGLE GOES OFFLINE WITH CHROME APPS FOR MAC

Recently Google has launched its latest packaged of apps, dubbed “chrome Apps”, for the Mac, making the good promises from September when it kicked off testing.

Three weeks ago, Google has released the chrome 31 for OSX, now supports Chrome apps, Google souped-up, cross platform web apps that are much closer to natural software, the kind written for a specific operating system, like windows or OS X. Chrome apps can work on the off mode and call on various Google APIs and services lined to traditional based apps.

Chrome apps is written in HTML5, JavaScript  and CSS, its look like the simple application since they run in a bare bones frame minus any browser as like address bar.

Recently In the month of September Google has previewed the chrome apps and associated app launch for the Mac in the early develop of its browser, but they said that they are going to switch on the functionality in the stable version.

On the September chrome 29, window has chrome app support with initially support going back as far as February.  Yet the Chrome apps are not supporting the Linux version.

From the day of the conference of the June 2012, Google is been forcing to construct the packaged app strategy, experts have viewed the move as an attempt to challenge rivals’ operating system by using the latest chrome browser as a Trojan horse.

Chrome apps roots extend to chrome OS, the browser based operating system is increasing the number of computer developers, or OEMs, have used specialized chrome-book notebook lines. For example On Wednesday Dell has announced its chrome-book and will sell the 11 inch laptop in less than $300 to educational buyers.

Chrome OS and the spin-off Chrome Apps have a tough row to hoe, analysts have said.

 Patrick Moor-head Principal analyst with Moor visions and strategy said on yesterday, to go the user mainstream, Google needs to completely add off line feasibility to chrome OS.

Last month, Google tried to remedy the inventory issue with its first Chrome Dev Summit, a two-day developers conference that featured sessions on creating traditional Web apps and packaged apps, accessing APIs, and optimizing app performance.

Chrome 31 for OSX is now available to download from the Google’s website which includes the chrome apps support.

WeatherBug, one of a handful of available Chrome Apps, looks and behaves much like a “native” application on OS X.

Games help improve software security

Ever more rarify cyber-attacks exploit software unsafe in the commercial off the shelf (COTS) IT systems and applications upon which military, government and commercial organizations trust.

The most stringent way to prevent from these attacks is formal verification; an analysis process helps to certify that software is free from exploitable faults and vulnerabilities. However for the formal methods it requires the trained engineers to manually scour software’s-a process is now too slow and costly to employ outside of the small software components.

Getting, quicker and the cost effective means to accomplish formal verification is a national security priority, So DARPA’s CSFV (Crowd sourced formal verification) has constructed and establish its verigames web portal (www.verigames.com) offering online formal verification games.

The CSFV games alter the players’ actions into program comments and gives mathematical proofs to assure the lack of important classes of errors in software written in the C and Java programming languages. CSFV motive is to investigate whether the non-experts will be able to play the formal verification games in a formal verification manner in a faster way and in the more cost effective way than conventional processes.

Drew Dean said that we took the really hard math problems and map it into the interesting and attractive puzzle games that online players will solve for joy, The DARPA managers’ By leveraging the player’s intelligence and creativity on a broader term, in which hope to reduce the security analysts to overcome in the formal verification.

CSFV has constructed the automatic procedure which permits the creation of new puzzles for each math issue the program pursues to analyze. If its reveal the harmful code, DARPA will implement the approve notification and modification procedures, by notifying the organization responsible for the affected software. Because CSFV authenticates open source software which government or any commercial department of defense may utilize, quick notification is required to correct the software instantly and modify the risk of security failures.

Don’t Stitch Copied Content from Multiple Sites

The many of the marketers and site owners knows the importance of the original, quality content in their marketing plans and still few people tries to understand what it actually means.

In the recent Google webmaster video, once again Matt Cutts discussed about the line between spam and original content.

The question arises: Can you copy the small portion of content from the various websites and combine it to create the new page and compete with the Google??

 Cutts begins explaining the question in practice about yahoo disfavor for its past days. Yahoo considered this method as stitching and they considered that spam said Cutts.

Does the Google consider it as a spam? “He said if you are taking the quotes from everyone else, that is probably will not add the value.

He has given the best example of where the multiple means with bits of information in an article, mentioning Wikipedia as an example. In Wikipedia the information is gathered from the various sources as citation to support the main topic, but to do in the way that reports and summarizes the information to create a new, unique web page on the matter.

While many may be unclear about what the original content means, when in doubt, know that any time you’re cutting corners in your content, you are likely not writing the best content you can for that website.
