Who’s buying a $499 Apple iPad tablet computer?


Posted January 30th, 2010 by admin No Comments »

When CEO Steve Jobs introduced Apple’s new gadget in an Apple Special Event at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts January 27 in San Francisco, California- the world listened with excitement but so far have been getting mixed reviews starting with its name: “iPad.” iPad, you have to admit sounds like a feminine product used for women’s monthly period. While jokes are running around for its name, those who have tested the product on its unveiling are hailing the unit- calling it fast.

That’s not the only issue with its name though.

“Japan’s Fujitsu says it launched an iPad years ago, and the name has also been used for small engines, bra inserts, and even adult nappies. Fujitsu’s trademark application for the “iPad” name with the US Patent and Trademark Office is still pending, said Fujitsu spokesman Masao Sakamoto in Tokyo. Apple has been embroiled in trademark disputes with other companies before, including Cisco Systems, which launched its “iPhone” before Apple. The two companies settled the dispute in 2007, agreeing to share the name.” (Yahoo news)

Things to Remember When Upgrading Wordpress


Posted December 7th, 2009 by admin 1 Comment »

If you’re a Wordpress user, you would know that Wordpress is clearly the leader in all of blogging platforms there is combined in terms of usability, design and efficiency. According to Wordpress, the latest version, WordPress 2.8 has been downloaded 10,206,370 times and counting. However, you would have realized as well that Wordpress is the most vulnerable platform out there prone to hacks, attacks and spams. We can’t have everything in one basket after all.

Every few months, Wordpress users get a message on their dashboard reminding that it’s time for that upgrade again. This year alone, we would have upgraded 9 times including the upcoming Version 2.9 in December. From:

2.7.1 February 10, 2009
2.8 June 10, 2009
2.8.1 July 9, 2009
2.8.2 July 20, 2009
2.8.3 August 3, 2009
2.8.4 August 12, 2009
2.8.5 October 20, 2009
2.8.6 November 12, 2009

The upgrades are necessary because they are usually bug fixes of security vulnerabilities found on the previous upgrades. By not upgrading, we are opening up our blogs to hackers. Such was our case some months back.

Here’s what you must do and remember before upgrading to any version of Wordpress:

Wordpress themes with ad ready


Posted October 8th, 2009 by admin No Comments »

Word press, one of the world’s top blogging platforms used by millions of bloggers and marketers and other money minded persons, also supports ad sense. One of the most popular methods among the thousands that are available to make money online is to use Google Ad Sense on your website or blog. Ad sense is a block of ads that a person can place on their website and is to some extent based on the content that the site sports. These ads earn the website owner a commission whenever a visitor clicks on any of the ads. . One can download and install word press themes with ad ready features to make more money out of their blogs or websites by displaying these.
A Wordpress theme with ad ready feature can be an html/php template or blog theme that has been pre incorporated with graphics and advertisement blocks with specific affiliate id already built into the design. These themes are available for purchase online from websites that sell them and can be found by doing a Google search. Sometimes these ad ready themes come with specific content and articles that are included. Though this is very convenient for someone who doesn’t want to type in their own content, it can lead to duplication as the same content is sold to many such users by the site. This piles on the competition that you face with other websites in terms of attracting keyword based traffic.
Most people who do not know how to create their own website can easily benefit from this phenomenon by purchasing an Ad Sense Ready website which comes with their own ad sense affiliate id embedded in and displayed on their website by the host. Most often than not, those who purchase Wordpress themes with ad ready usually rewrite the original content that was provided with the theme to something very unique and suited to their target audience. This cuts down on the competition from other websites using similar themes and preconfigured content.
Though downloading these Wordpress themes with ad ready and installing them is very easy compared to designing your website from scratch and then installing ad’s, there is no guarantee that traffic would be attracted to your site and you would earn revenues from these ads that are posted. Even if the site is excellent and attractive and has lots of interesting content, if there are no visitors who click on the ads, there would be no revenue. Hence it is important to draw target audience and traffic to your website in addition to having quality and unique content.
The question that many people have is whether going in for a Wordpress theme with ad ready is a good choice and whether it would be worth the extra investment. The only answer is that, it all depends on how successful you are in drawing visitors to your ad ready site. Sometimes the value of each click on an ad can be worth only a few cents, while others can earn in dollars for you. It depends on the content and keywords that you use to draw audience. The ads would be generated in such a way that they are aligned to the content on your website or webpage. These are some factors that you need to consider when choosing the theme and the content.

Create wordpress template


Posted September 28th, 2009 by admin No Comments »

Bloggers on Wordpress can modify those themes that they download and install according to their whims and fancies and aesthetic sense. The flexibility that Wordpress offers is easily discernable from the choice of different themes that is allowed as well as the ease of creating, modifying and installing those themes. Template files are the building block of a Wordpress website or blog. They are like pearls on a string that come together to form a beautiful necklace. It is good to have an understanding about the basics of Wordpress theme building before you venture to attempt it on your own. The Wordpress web page differs from tradition web pages in that the HTML structure and CSS style sheet although present do not affect the content in anyway, which in turn gets generated by various template files. The Wordpress theme is nothing but the compilation of template files and the style sheet.
There might be only a few other things that could possibly be more difficult than to create Wordpress templates. The task is daunting for someone who has no knowledge of coding and can’t even figure out what HTML stands for. These non nerdy, non technical bloggers would be well advised to stick to writing content and publishing them and doing all sorts of non technical activity and leave the technical stuff to hardcore code junkies. The creation of a template, which governs how the content is displayed on your webpage, requires lots of patience and plenty of experience with coding. While knowledge of CSS will help you craft a squeaky clean theme, it is not a necessary precondition.
There are two ways for users to create Wordpress template. Either use an existing design and modify it into something unique and beautiful. The other thing is to do it from scratch. For someone who doesn’t have any programming knowledge, the first option is the best. The novice user would need to know that there are two templates available for a new user on Wordpress to choose from. These templates can be swapped using the admin panel. Wordpress allows users to modify themes by using templates and tags and the Wordpress look to change the look and aesthetics or even to improve the navigational aspects. The fact that both the templates and the design files are different and the templates govern the content and not the visual appeal or underlying design, makes it more easier.
There are many programmers who create Wordpress templates either for the monetary benefit they can derive or as part of a malicious plan to embed malicious code within it for unscrupulous internet practices. There are also those who do it to support the community and ensure that it thrives. Some take it up as a hobby and offer the templates they create for free. Those programmers and developers such as the maker of the revolution pro media theme who have focused on the monetary benefits have not only become rich by doing so but have catered to a growing demand among the blogging community for quality themes that are clean and secure as well extremely attractive and aesthetically designed to catch the imagination of any user who might pay the blog a visit.

Internet jurisdiction law


Posted September 18th, 2009 by admin 3 Comments »

With the booming expansion of the Internet, the litigation of court cases related to the internet has one basic problem: under which jurisdiction does this case fall? Such cases can expand to serious litigation and an adequate location for jurisprudence is imperative to an eventual success. But determining the authority when the victim is in one country, the culprit in another and the server on which the transaction took place in a third country, the case clearly requires regulation as to where the wronged party can state a claim. Therefore an Internet jurisdiction law may be required to regulate such instances.

There is something called general personal jurisdiction, where a company which is actively engaged in doing business on the Internet can be sued, with jurisdiction being on that location where the headquarters are located or where it was incorporated.

The United States more or less take over jurisdiction in any case where there are any of the parties or the finances from the case even remotely touched the United States. The European Union has a more serious approach, where there is a Internet jurisdiction law applicable to all member countries which regulates the jurisdiction. The world court in the Hague not only fights war crimes but can be used in international law suits where authority cannot easily be determined, if only to determine the jurisdiction. But the United States, due to the isolative and borderline imperialistic policy they employ, have not signed to the international treaty, therefore cases involving European and American parties often are being argued pertaining jurisdiction, nevertheless common procedure seems to be that the country whose citizen is deemed to be tried for a crime perpetrated on the Internet, will be prosecuted there where he has been located at the time of apprehension, if it is either the victims country or the country of the culprit’s origin. An extradition from the country of which the accused holds the citizenship from to any country claiming jurisdiction simply does not happen. Such cases are being handled by the local court where the indicted was living at the moment of arrest.

But such jurisdiction problems happen not only related to the Internet crimes, but also to regular cases where the culprit fled the country and went to his home country before he could be charged. Although there are regulations in existence which regulate the authority, different countries have different law understanding and customs, therefore it will happen that jurisdiction will be disputed in many cases, but until now an impasse has never been reached.
