Google’s 2009 Searching Ranking

02/12/2009 at 3:49 PM | Posted in Others | Leave a comment

Every year Google announces searching word ranking “Year-End Zeitgeist.” This year the result has been like this:

World

  1. michael jackson
  2. facebook
  3. tuenti
  4. twitter
  5. sanalika
  6. new moon
  7. lady gaga
  8. windows 7
  9. dantri.com.vn
  10. torpedo gratis

Therefore, number one word searched on Google is Michael Jackson as well as same for Yahoo or Bing. It was big deal that he has passed away and I think many people who weren’t familiar with him had interest in searching it. Second is face book which is a really a popular personal information finder in the world. I could remember the times when facebook was peaceful with ad-free. Third is  Tuenti which is a spain’s social networking service. I have never heard of such thing but it must be famous. Fourth is twitter which means 2,3,4 is covered by social networking services.

swine flu has so many names; therefore, it is likely to be searched in many different words.

New 3D controller technology “Suma” has been developed by Cambridge Consultants. What it can do is that it can control by gripping that controller.

Suma uses its own sensor system and able to recognize objects shape and its shift in shaping. For example, the controller which made by the same company is like a ball type controller which can control by gripping.

Since Suma based device is cheap and it can only take less than $1 to put the sensor network. Therefore, it can be put into many different ways such as games, music, design, art etc etc.

This will be presented as a test controller in 2010, january’s Consumer Electronics Show.

I thought this was interesting to try it out but only game I could think of using this is…nevermind…forget it haha

iPhone’s next model is already there?

02/12/2009 at 3:04 PM | Posted in Others | Leave a comment

There has been a news that there exist a gossip about the next generation of iphone. This gossip has been started when one of the researching company found a log to iphone 3.1 to the application iBART. Right now, iphone 3GS’s identifier is still 2.1. Also when Apple changes hardware, they changes the identifier’s first number so people are assuming that it is  a test model and  still going on the test process.

Moreover, Apple is trying to acquire a developer for  map application; therefore, we are assuming for a renovated mapping function in the next generation. Also there has been a gossip that next generation’s model is going to be multi core processor.

Right now, iphone is a popular tool, which not only rich people can afford compared to when it was extremely expensive. Therefore, Apple needs to show more better features to improve so they can beat other mobile companies.

P.S. I don’t have a iphone in particular, but I have ipod touch. Since one of the problem I have when I am using it is when I load the ipod with many music, movies and application( over 100mb), they become problem in using it. Like for many times, my ipod lose track of all the songs and videos because it is too heavy I assume. Instead of making a updated version for ipod touch, Apple should create something which has better hardware and better music listening device so that they have their own good music technologies compared to iphone which is basically a phone + ipod touch.

Setting up PHP and MySQL

02/12/2009 at 1:20 PM | Posted in Others | Leave a comment

For my last assignment, I have implemented a CornellNotes using PHP and MySQL.
For people who is starting PHP and SQL in your website, here’s quick overview of how to set it up in your computer.

  1. Download XAMPP from here http://www.apachefriends.org/
  2. Install XAMPP(everything)
  3. create access restriction on htdocs stored in C:\xampp\htdocs
  4. Open control panel of XAMPP in start menu
  5. Just click to start up apache and mysql etc!

Very simple but number 3 is not required if  you set up in your localhost machine
Now have fun with the world of PHP

Yahoo UI JavaScript library

02/12/2009 at 1:10 PM | Posted in Task | Leave a comment

Yahoo! User Interface Library is an open source javascript library made for creating  AJAX based rich user interface. For example, yahoo mail is created using this! Therefore you will understand how powerful it is.

Basically YUI library is a set of components which supports different kinds of web applications. These components are divided up into few categories.

  • Control/Widgets
  • Container Components(Panel, Dialog, Tooltip)
  • UI Widgets(Button, Calender, Menu)
  • Components which communicate with Serverside module.
  • Event handling and DOM Components
  • Controller for animation, drag & drop, page layout

All the components are sourced out in 3 ways, normal, with debugger, extracted.

jQuery and YUI are both good library; However, there are some parts much easier for each. Therefore, we should be able to use one of them completely so that there will not be any problem because both of them can do pretty much same thing except that they have to be implemented in different ways
