Currently more easily combine the code into the core IIS and use in ways not previously possible, "Pennington said.
The promise from Microsoft is that the SEO Toolkit is designed to help webmasters to increase traffic flow cyberspace and additional income, influence and update the search engines and improve the customer experience. The one drawback of the solution search engine optimization is the fact that this tool is only designed to work with web sites that use Windows Server and IIS servers.

But what could I do, this is certainly more complicated, when we are faced with the need to learn something, of course, to pay a license of certain products will certainly drain our pockets. Well, it's also the dilemma that until now still not really get a solution. Even if there is a solution, the answer is yes it using open source products.
Not long ago, MySQL 5.4 was announced to the audience, of course, an open source version of the database is repaired from the previous version, which is limited only use a maximum of 4 processors. But this time alone, MySQL is able to handle up to 16 processor that can support x86 servers that use multiple cores per processor. In other words, MySQL is far too much focus in the use of web-based system to become more serious orients itself to the enterprise version. Then how the response from Oracle? Was feeling pretty unrivaled? Oracle actually welcome the arrival of this latest version of MySQL.
Oracle itself ready to win or may lose from MySQL. But Oracle seems not to be outdone by MySQL so it's better than rival each other, may be better to support each other and united. Well, business is good for Oracle's own because it far Oracle already has InnoDB. While the MySQL database itself can be said to be a primer for web-based terms.
catalyst_bookAnda PHP developers who like to try new framework? This could be one of the things that could be your reference to trying new MVC framework, which is Catalyst.
Intermezo little, of the many frameworks, there are two frameworks that pretty much used in Indonesia, namely CodeIgniter and CakePHP framework. Both have advantages and disadvantages of different. If the orientation you build a system that load quickly, then you can drop your choice on CodeIgniter with faster execution time, but unfortunately a lot of info in circulation, CodeIgniter CakePHP is not as complete a library that has more than CodeIgniter, because so many , is quite natural that the execution time is much slower than CodeIgniter.
Back to talk about Catalyst, quoted from his own website that Catalyst is a framework that is "fun, rewarding and quick". Like most of the MVC framework structure is not too much different concept, just more of the ways to declare and how to use them. In Catalyst, we need not worry about the issue or validation session, because it is already provided by default. But of what is said by the developer himself, Catalyst declaration means more free, because it can use more than one way. In addition, the ease with which you can get, that is, if you want to create output in the form of PNG or PDF, you just need a few line code just so it can use it on your system. Well, yes it sounds easy enough!
Currently, the Catalyst framework itself has been able to run fine on FreeBSD, Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris and Windows. As for the web server, Catalyst is able to adapt itself to the IIS, Zeus, Apache and lighttpd. Saying, that Catalyst provides convenience to the developer that is because Catalyst is able to adapt to the developer, not the developer who adapt to the Catalyst.

Do you still lay with Captcha? If you often surf in cyberspace and registration on a website, usually there will be a security code that contains alphanumeric characters that you must fill in accordance with the drawings, if wrong then you have to repeat the charge. If it is correct then the registration phase will be successful. Security code that is named with the Captcha.
Scientists at Tel Aviv University is currently working on a new captcha technology that they think will be more difficult for hackers ditelusupi by robots. The new system relies on the ability of people to recognize the object when the object is moving, although this new system may be much harder to see than regular images.
"Humans have highly specialized skills that have not been able to master the computer boots," said Professor Danny Cohen-Or. "We can see what is called 'the emergence of image', when an object on the computer screen becomes recognizable when moving and identify these images in seconds.
"Although one can not see the image as a stationary object on the background of dappled, moving objects will allow us to recognize and process it."
The new synthesis technique produces 3D images like the people running or aircraft in flight. This will allow developers to produce an infinite number of moving objects which would be almost impossible to be solved by computer algorithms.
Scientists warn that this experiment will take a little longer before research results can be applied in the real world. But they are currently defining the parameters that identify the level of difficulty of perception variety of images that can be used in future security technology web.
"We do not claim that our research has been thoroughly resolved," said Professor Cohen-Or. "But we are taking steps in that direction, something that could generate a far better captcha, to highlight the major differences between humans and bots.
Hopefully this research will result in a better way to identify a user whether a human or a robot, without having to make it difficult to get through this process will be.

Well, it would be fun ya feud Google and Microsoft to dominate the mobile platforms business. The reason has recently been circulating the news that Google allegedly has deliberately obstructed the Windows-based smartphones Phone from Microsoft is to access certain functionality and services from YouTube which incidentally has now officially owned by Google after being acquired some time ago.
Complaints objection based software giant in Redmond is officially submitted to the European Commission. In his complaint, the party protested Google Microsoft has hindered competition in certain respects, including the one in the business sector of mobile platforms and devices of concern.
In his latest blog post, Brad Smith, who served as Senior Vice President & General Counsel at Microsoft Corporation explains how Google has blocked WP7 device to be able to access YouTube as it should.
"In the year 2010 and a recent case, Google has blocked the latest Microsoft Windows Phone to access YouTube," explained Brad Smith.
"Google has let the Android-based phone besutannya yourself access to YouTube so that users can search the video category, find your favorites, view ratings and so on in a variety of user interface offered by mobile-phone-based platform is".
In other words, or rather, the devices based on Windows Phone from Microsoft is in fact unable to access YouTube metadata in a similar way as the devices are powered by Google's operating system Andorid are able to do it with ease.
This will significantly limit the features available to users when accessing Windows 7 Phone YouTube furthermore, while the limited access the service or any application-based service.
Microsoft claims that so far the ability of Windows 7 Phone relating to the YouTube plugin available on the Marketplace in fact be regarded much less if compared with what can be done by Android or iPhone.
"As a result, applications on Microsoft Windows Phones Youtube is basically just a browser that displays web site YouTube, without the various functionality that is offered on a mobile phone competitors", said Brad Smith.
"Microsoft is ready to release high-quality YouTube application for Windows Phone. We just need permission to access YouTube in a way that other phones already do, and so far Google has refused to give such permission "
According to Microsoft, this is just one of several examples that revealed that Google has hindered the competition so far and the irony of Google is also doing similar things in other areas.
Some of the recent times, a combination of JavaScript and XML (Ajax) has enhanced Web features. Using Ajax, the website becomes more interactive and faster direload as in desktop applications. Ajax is not a panacea. Server is still generating page content - including code as well. Unfortunately, the browser is a bit heavier use of AJAX this, because it affects the memory of the computer. Please note that HTML and CSS rendering in the browser is also sometimes less stable. In addition, the security of AJAX is still somewhat in doubt.
Ideally, the Web application will be tailored to the strengths of each level Web: Interactions at the user's browser. Business rules and stability on the server. And indeed, truly by three models of the development of new technologies: Silverlight from Microsoft, Sun's JavaFX and Flex from Adobe.
But why choose Flex over JavaFX? And, why not use Silverlight, since Internet Explorer became the most widely used browser by users around the world? What was done by Adobe, Sun and Microsoft as released into open source? Are AJAX, Internet applications that will still be blaring or displaced by the latest Internet applications?!
Maybe in the next generation, the website will be dominated by the superiority of the combination of applications where not only that protrudes from the desktop features such as lightweight but in terms of whether or not an Internet application to run on various types of browsers. This is still a big question mark various developers. With a variety of advanced applications, rather heavy in terms of clients, this is the future must be a solution found, the technology must continue to evolve to address flaws in the Internet applications we use today.
