Server based aggregation is the way to go these days as it minimizes bandwidth on the server as well as on the client side. However, client side aggregation also has its benefits.

First, users don’t have to wait while loading the data as it is already on the client server. The waiting time may not matter for text downloads, but can be significant for bigger and heavier downloads like videos. One answer to the bandwidth problem is to update sites with a ping through websites like weblogs.com using web applications like blogrolling to the client. The client only needs to visit the updated sites and download the information before the user requests it.

However, this solution may not work well if the client is charged per downloaded data, therefore, server based aggregation may be better option in this instance.

Google had recently laid down its so-called „Google Map.“ Aside from being an innovative hit, it had not stopped them to create some more ideas. Right now, the issue around targetting the offline world had been brought up. Many believe that allowing this kind of transaction may make more opportunities for the people and for them. This is a wonderful idea that allows unlimited access to sites in Google but at the moment, it is not yet as feasible as it sounds. There are still many yet to be done before this vision comes to life. But with Google, it seems as though they’ll find a way through.

In the advanced technology industry, there re many benefits excluding manual labor, time, and sweat. Though it had proved to be beneficial to business transactions, there are still problems that may occur. First of all is that there is no guarantee of disaster occuring. There are two kinds of disaster in the this industry: “Business continuity contingencies“ and “Recovery of lost data.“

When computers fail to do their normal work or „burn-out,“ disaster happens. The dilemma now of business people is how to recover. Some have suggested a program that allows you to save more than twice your data but requires complicated procedures. Security is indeed not something done lightly.

Smartplaylists.com, which lets you share your personalized listening experience by creating Playlists based on features like My Rating or Last Played can be used to simplify your online shopping.

As data on the client side gets bigger, the user can configure rules to automate customary processes. Central, a movie website has the “set alerts” feature, which helps you establish preferences that can help automate routine tasks.

Looking ahead, if rules for shopping applications are shared, like for example in digital camera shopping, customers who are not familiar with camera specifications can also look for the best camera that fits his need. A simple data grid with various meta-data collected can be taken advantaged of to produce interesting results using command based sorting of columns. Now, if rules were set by navigation, it would be even simpler for the user.

The user follows a process that can be setup as a rule, but it may not be suited to every scenario. Macros in many applications have tried the same strategy but did not have considerable success due to unfriendly User interface. A possible solution to address this dilemma is to promote research work that enables rule setting in Excel better by allowing test cases when the rule is set.

Unlike cars, where there is a significant cost of raw materials involved, software is fairly fast to make. With less cost, the rush to market the product combined with relatively less risk, furthers the rush to start coding without thinking twice. Moore’s Law stated that there is no time for things to slow down to the point where such “fine points” as design, quality, and usability standards might become recognized. While the bulk of our industry is organized around the verifiable myth that we know what we want from the very beginning, and how to achieve it, and therefore construct our process in such a way that we will take an efficient, straightforward path to get there.

What’s with the craziness over an insanely priced mobile phone? Well, Its cool and is fast evolving into a single gadget, but for $600 and having to sign up for blacklisted telecoms provider, no thanks.

Aside from the fact that it is exorbitantly priced and a looming monopoly is in the works, the touch pad phone buttons is not that awesome. People need to dial without looking and only normal phones can do that. Touch screens eventually wear out, and once they do, it becomes more of a disadvantage. I am sure you have all experienced using the touch screens at the market when you pay by debit card, but the hassles they give the owner when they start to wear out render the iPhone somewhat inoperable. The question is, do you want that on your cellphone? For a $600 price tag to replace the thing, count me out.

Yes! its now possible. The FBI has arrested several people who click on links supposedly linked to child pornography. We know this a noble quest, but there’s a fairly large error in this logic. The Feds might just say that the referrer does not match.

Now the question is how can a user with no referring URL be credited with an investigation. This is indeed a noble pursuit but this seems dangerous and just another one of those witch-hunts the government perpetrates.

Is clicking a link worthy of jail time? This kind of paranoia only brings out more loopholes and now we have given people a chance to disavow their actions. They could just argue that they were just trying out or browsing through the site.

Ergo, clicking a link as evidence of guilt is almost certainly asking for trouble and abuse on both sides.
