If you will talk about developing a website with anyone, apart from gathering information about the type of website you need, an important (mandatory) question will come �?? �??do you have any preference for the technology to be used for deploying this website?�?�

Most of the time answer is a question back �??What do you suggest?�?�, reason being clients are not tech savvy so they really do not understand this question. And it�??s logical too, if I am associated with implementing the technology I can better understand this question and directly say .NET or PHP as the answer, but if I am a cloth merchant looking for a website this question will sound like Greek to me.

Now here the service provider takes the advantage that they suggest the technology in which they expertise, rather it should be decided depending upon the nature of the application to be deployed, scope of the future enhancements and to an extent the budget the client has allotted for the same. While talking about deploying web based applications Linux and Windows are the most popular platforms. Now depending upon the platform of the server on which the site is to be hosted defines the options of the scripting languages and the database servers that can be used for developing the application. If we talk about Linux as the platform the most commonly used scripting languages includes �?? PHP, CGI, Perl, Python etc. For Windows platform the scripting languages used are ASP, ASP.NET, C#, Cold Fusion etc. For the database servers Linux offers support for MySQL, PostgreSQL, Sybase etc and MS SQL Server, MS Access, Oracle are the database servers of choice for Windows platform. Its not mandatory that these are the categorizations for the scripting languages and database servers for the said platforms, the scripting languages for Linux also come for as Windows binary and visa versa.

Though there are certain differences among these two as listed below, but both of them are platforms of choice for deploying functionality rich web based applications: –

- Linux is an open source freeware whereas Windows is a Microsoft brand.

- Additional components for Linux are generally free whereas the components for Windows need to be purchased.

- Linux is considered to be more virus proof then Windows

- Web space for Linux being freeware is less costly then Windows

- The cost of Linux web space includes the cost for database server whereas for windows if MS SQL server is opted it costs additional.

For the purposes of listing factors to choose which platform, we can say: –

- The budget the client has for hosting.

- If the specific requirement requires a specific component then identifying weather it is available with Windows or Linux

- If the size of database is going to be huge MS SQL sever is preferred because of the additional features it offers for the data management.

- Both Linux and Windows are equally reliable and robust, but yes on Windows special software are required for providing safety from hackers and non-authentic access.

- Is the client specific about brand then Windows is the only choice.

Thus to conclude, both these platform are platforms of choice for deploying feature rich websites and offer flexibilities of deploying interactive and data rich websites.

Taiwan-based computer-now-mobile phone-maker Acer seemed so confident about the performance of its first Android smartphone that it didn�??t mind underclocking the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon processor from 1GHz to just 768 MHz.

It may have disappointed Android fans but its new Acer Liquid A1 is every inch one of the most powerful Android smartphones short of the Motorola Droid that has fashionable pretensions that work. Stability or even squeezing out the battery performance on so thin a handset may have prompted Acer to do just that, we can only guess.

But to see and use is to believe.  It is now out in the market and its features just confirm the leaked technical data we�??ve seen over the last few months.  It is a formidable smartphone that despite all its remarkable goodies comes with a very appealing price initially published at �?�380 ($570) before taxes and subsidies.  But it now hovers slightly lower than that in the ?330 ($540) price point.

Top Act Features

As the world first Snapdragon Android smartphone and the world�??s first Android 1.6 in wide-VGA (800×480) high definition screen, the Liquid �??s 3.5�?� capacitive touchscreen figure quite dominantly on its futuristic slim body just 12.5mm thick and weighing just 135g.

There are no protruding tactile keys on the face as all navigating buttons are touch sensitive flushed contiguously level with the screen.  The handset exudes elegant simplicity in its fluid form and comes in three colors of your choice: black red and white.

This is a quad band GSM/GPRS/EDGE on 2G and a tri-band 3G/UMTS with HSDPA data connectivity for up to 7.2 Mbps assuring a high speed internet browsing experience. Local data connectivity is supported by its WiFi 802.11b/g for hotspot internet surfing as well as Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR for wireless data transfers and synchronization with Bluetooth devices. Acer takes these features a step further allowing you to synchronize select desktop or laptop media contents with the handset over both WiFi and Bluetooth.

Talk about synchronization, the Liquid can have your address book contacts, calendar and email contents synced with social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook.  You can also upload your photos to Picasa and your videos to YouTube.  This makes Google�??s online media services act as a virtual remote storage backup for any and all your media content.

You can expect excellent imaging feature with a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and geo-tagging courtesy of its built-in GPS receiver. On top of its capable multimedia players, the Liquid A1 comes with what Acer calls Spinlets, special phone apps that enable free audio and video content streaming that you can share with friends, family and colleagues over the web or email.

You get two choices in listening to your audio files.  You can use wireless stereo earphones with its Bluetooth 2.1 A2DP support or use regular high fidelity headphones using its 3.5mm AV jack.

Some Complaints

Its slim 1350 lithium-ion battery when fully charged can only go to 5 hours of talk time and about 17 days in standby mode �?? a bit short compared with other touchscreen smartphones in this class.  We figure if Acer hadn�??t underclocked the Snapdragon CPU, there�??d be shorter talk times. The Acer Liquid A1 runs on the Android 1,6 Donut platform but we hope to see it upgraded to the latest version 2.0 codenamed �?clair that now runs the Motorola Droid.

As the first Android snapdragon smartphone with flagship features at their best, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 is taking shape to be the most ambitious project for the struggling mobile phone maker.  Missing the holiday shopping rush, Sony could be in for an uphill marketing challenge on the X10 when it releases the smartphone this January �?? a most inauspicious month when people pay off their credit cards and generally shut out any more spending after splurging during the holidays.

Advantages at a glance

This is a quad band GSM/GPRS/EDGE on 2Gnetworks a tri band UMTS on 3G with high speed data connectivity HSDPA/HSUPA for blazingly fast internet surfing speeds.  Other data connectivity options include WiFi 802.11 B/G for wireless hotspot surfing and Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR for fast wireless synching and data transfers between your handset and your PC.

You get the usual GPS, USB 2.0, microSD expansion up to 32GB and 3.5mm headphone jack.  But the stand-out features are the following:

Some Caveats

The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 as revealed in its prototype hands-on exploring reveal some issues precisely from its strong points.  While its 1Ghz Snapdragon processor virtually promises the moon for Android fans, the X10 may have battery issues that result from the Snapdragon�??s power hungry processing speeds.

It looks like Acer�??s underclocking the similarly featured Liquid A1 was a wise move to squeeze out 5 hours of talk time from a 1350mAh lithium-ion battery.  We hope the 1500 mAh battery on the slightly larger X10 will deliver about the same lifespan even without underclocking.

The responsiveness of the Rachel/UX user interface was lagging on the prototype and Sony�??s tinkering to enrich the Android OS over the last months may have a lot to do with it.  We can�??t understand this as it flies in the face of the powerful Snapdragon CPU.

Despite the enrichment, you still won�??t get 16 million colors on the otherwise gorgeous 4�?� display.  It doesn�??t even have an FM radio.  But this could have been remedied had Sony ported the Rachel UI on the more powerful and capable Android 2.0 �?clair.  And then there�??s the bank-breaking tag price on the handset when you pre-order from some online marketers.  At a hefty?610, you may be tempted to look elsewhere.  But if Sony can fix its issues, we are confident many Android and non-Android fans will find the X10 difficult to resist.

The amount of information that becomes available each year is incredible, growing in leaps as technology evolves. Hosting all that information isn�??t an easy task, as there are a lot of things that can happen, including being deleted, lost, corrupted, inaccessible or formatted.

If that data is important to you, then you can have a big problem. The next step would probably be to look for a software that you can use to recover your lost data. You can use the data recovery process for that purpose. There are data recovery options both for Linux and Windows.

You can use Linux data recover software to get your information back, in a number of different cases:

- You lost folders or files on Linux

- Your hard drive was formatted

- Your operating system was corrupted or it crashed

- A lost or deleted volume

You might be wondering by now what the Linux data recovery software can do.

It�??s capable of doing a number of types of recovery process.

- Ex3 and Ex2 Data Recovery

- Recovery of a Linux Partition

- Recovery of a Linux Formatted Disk

- ReiserFS File System Recovery

- Recovery of Linux Deleted Files

The Linux data recovery software can do all the things I mentioned above. The strong algorithm behind this software will find all the corrupted, formatted, lost, deleted or inaccessible folders and files.

After it finds those files, the software repairs them and you can use them again. In the end, the files that were recovered will be put in the same place where they were before, so you can use them again.

If you keep getting error messages, you might have some problems with corrupted files on your Linux based computer. Some of the possible error messages are:

1. Unknown terminal type Linux and similar

2. Cannot read the table of mounted file systems

3. Cannot initialize drive X and many more.

4. Maximum count Reached

5. Internal Compiler Error

If you get one of the messages mentioned here, start the Linux data recovery software and try getting your files back. Download or buy the program, install it and start it.

For a smartphone with an operating system that�??s open and free, it�??s been surprising to see a slew of Android phones that rival the high ends handset that use their more proprietary OS platforms like Symbian.  Especially when we see them sporting features that, while decent, are quite common with many other high end phones costing less.

Predictable Features

Among those features, you get 16 GB microSD support, high speed internet with 3G HSPDA, WiFi 802.11 b/g, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, stereo FM with RDS and GPS support.  That�??s what many Android phones have.  And the new HTC Tattoo is no exception.

It also features a typical 3.1 mega pixel autofocus camera and a decent multimedia feature starting with a gorgeous 2.8�?� LCD TFT resistive touchscreen display, presumably with the usual accelerometer for automatic viewing orientation changes.  HTC phones are not known to have great multimedia features as they are really meant to target the more serious corporate and business markets.  But, just as a perfunctory nod to mobile phone trends, it makes business sense to put in all the bells and whistles we�??ve come to expect from mobile phones.

The HTC Tattoo from the Taiwan-based mobile phone novice runs on a powerful Qualcomm CPU clocked at 528 MHz with a 256 MB Ram and 512 MB ROM, engine features that are just as powerful as any Android phone out there. People often wonder if the Android phone requires so much power to run effectively, and thus, bring up its price rather unnecessarily while sporting the familiar touch-screen form.

Outstanding Value

But what makes the HTC Tattoo stand out is its affordability in the rumored �?�350 price point, that is, if you consider that affordable.  This newest handset officially released by HTC is said to be the cheapest Android phone expected to hit the market during the last quarter of the year starting this October.  If you are familiar with the high end HTC Touch 3G, then you have an idea how the Tattoo looks like, but using the Android OS instead of Windows Mobile.

This is HTC�??s fourth Android handset and this time, it looks like the target market for affordable handsets should provide a wider market base for its line of Android phones.  Does the Android have a mass appeal?  That remains to be seen as they typically get snapped up by high end markets with their upscale price.  Whether they can upgrade (or downgrade) from their Symbian, Windows and Linux handsets remains to be seen.  The Android OS is actually a great mobile platform with so much promise and there are no royalties in its use by phone makers.

For Linux file systems, Superblock plays a vital role. It defines the file system itself. Linux uses this metadata structure to hold its file system information like file system type, size, mount status and also metadata information about other file system structures. If superblock is found to be corrupt, file system can�??t be mounted. This causes data loss and hence needs Linux Data Recovery as the solution. Superblock defines file system type and if it is corrupt, it may fail to give to this information with an error similar to: �??Superblock does not describe correct file system�?� The error also describes that system is unable to read the superblock. Also, if device contains the file system, then its superblock is corrupt and fsck is required with an alternate superblock. By alternative superblock , it refers to its duplicate copies on disk. Linux maintains duplicate copies of Superblock to avoid Linux Recovery requirements. These are located at different disk locations. The primary superblock lies at location 0 and group descriptors 1-6. However backup copies can be located using the following command: # dumpe2fs /dev/sda2 | grep superblock It will display the backup locations of superblock. Using these locations of superblock, file system can be attempted to mount. However if the process fails because of corrupt superblock backups, we need to refresh the file system by formatting the drive. It will create new copies of all file system structures. Lost data can be later restored using backup. However if no valid backup exists, Linux Data Recovery applications can help recovering. Linux Recovery software are the applications to recover lost data using specific scanning algorithms. These applications can carry out recovery in all cases like superblock corruption, inode table damage, group descriptors faults and others. These software offer graphically rich user interface and hence can be used easily. These products are safe for data as are designed as read-only. They offer quality features that assist users in recovery. But the software are not recommended to be installed on same drive to prevent overwriting. Stellar Phoenix Linux Data Recovery is the powerful and safe application to recover data from ext2, ext3 and reiserFS file system based disks. This software supports most of the Linux distributions like Red Hat, SUSE, SlackWare, Turbo Linux, Gentoo, Fedora and others. The application is safe for Ext3 Recovery and can be easily used through its graphical interface, which is rich of features.

Game: �Crystallight DefensePublisher:�Smartpix GamesPrice: Demo available, full version $2.99

Description:Crystallight is a game of �tower defence� genre with extensive online rating system and hours of exciting gameplay. (taken from the Crystallight Defense website)

Introduction:While searching for another defense game in the Android Market that I�d been told about, I came across Crystallight Defense. It looked pretty good (I liked the graphics, honestly) so I opted to download it. After installing, I went through the tutorial and had a rather difficult time grasping the game. I started playing through individual battles, and to be quite honest, I struggled. It took me a couple days to beat the first battle (I left it on the default 40 waves). After beating it once, I started through the story mode, and found it rather easy. I�ve been hooked on the gameplay, and found myself enjoying it for hours when I have better things to do, like sleep.

Pros:Addicting gameplayMultiple levels of play in demo, and 40 levels in the paid versionOnline rating system

Cons:Tutorial leaves a bit to be desiredGame should have an �Additional Help� option that opens the website up in a browser

Graphics�Rating: 3.5 out of 5 starsGameplay�Rating: 4 out of 5 starsTutorial�Rating: 2 out of 5 starsOverall Rating: 3.17 out of 5 stars

Final Thoughts: What started as a time killer to “play one before bed” turned into a bit of an addiction. �So much so that now, when I’ve found myself at a level that I’m unable to beat, I find myself frustrated and playing three or four times before giving in for the night. �It’s quickly become my favorite game to play on my phone, and the only game I’ve been addicted to more than this one was StarCraft.

To rival Android, Linux operating systems, Samsung Electronics, the electronic giant has announced its own open mobile operating system called as bada, which means �??ocean�?� in Korean. It is designed for use in Smartphones and will enable rich user experience in applications on various mobile devices. The new operating system will be launched in December this year, when its SDK (Software Development Kit) is planned to be made available. The company predicts that bada-powered devices will become a major thrust in the market in 2010.Bada operating system

Samsung announced the bada operating system on 10 November, 2009, and the company expects that the first mobile phone based on the operating system will be displayed in the first half of 2010, and will be available to consumers in the second half of 2010. It is reported that the company also plans to introduce a �??bada application store.�?� However, Samsung is already selling Smartphones running on Microsoft’s Windows Mobile and Google�??s Android operating system.According to the company, the new bada software will be designed as open source and will compete against Li-Mo Foundation and Android phone platform.Purpose of bada

Today, consumer wants rich and web connected applications in their devices that are only available in various Smartphones, which are costlier for many. Therefore, to make available to everyone, Samsung has been developing the new mobile operating system.Currently, the Smartphone segment represents less than 5% of Samsung�??s business, but it is the market’s fastest-growing and most profitable segment, therefore the company wants more participation in the growing field.Samsung is the world�??s number two mobile phone maker after Nokia, but Apple, Google, and Research in Motion are dominating in the Smartphone�??s OS/app store area. Recent data shows that Smartphones will account for 16% of all cellphones this year, which suggests that there is more room for Samsung�??s participation.Key features of bada

According to the company, the new operating system will deliver simple, instinctive, and novel user experiences through its innovative visual design. It will have a next generation UI framework that features various new apps and user interfaces for different bada applications.Service-oriented features: At present, the demand for service-based applications is growing in consumers. The new platform will support various service-oriented features to facilitate the expansion of connected applications. The company added that its developers can also employ various service features in the applications.Samsung bada intends to use all the common experiences and functions across applications in the platform so that various extensible core functions like dialer, messaging, and address book can be freely use.Samsung-Symbian divorce?

After the announcement of its own operating system, Samsung Electronics has been rumored to plan removing Symbian from its future roadmap. It is reported that Mr. DonJoo Lee, Senior VP of Samsung�??s Mobile Communications Division and Digital Media & Communications Business has also confirmed the development. However, Samsung said that it is an initial member of Symbian Foundation and continues to cooperate with Symbian Foundation and to satisfy different consumers�?? needs, the company will continue its ‘multi-OS’ strategy.
