Well this message can be a direct/indirect attack on those who thing Microsoft is up again only making $$$ and not services. Well guys you are wrong, check this website out. You will find PHP and hence any software made on PHP works fine on Windows server and that to with easy. I am using PHP on Windows from IIS 5.5 and it always work fine for me, but with IIS 7 and MS WEB it is really getting much easier to install PHP and any application on it.

I like the concept and idea, love to see same thing from Apache when they start support for .NET framework ?

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

in your .htaccess and the upgrade will work fine. Also, this is just one of many reason for upgrade failure, and you should perform this after you check all permission and stuff on your application.

It works for Action Script 2.0. But should work in AS 3.0 as well.

I would say even if you have DVD available still get a USB drive it works much faster then DVD.

On the other hand, business needs me most than ever before. New prospects are there, some really interesting project on discussion line, some already on desk for completion, ah, life is good. But where ? I spend my day waiting to play with Aaryan, end up working on computer. If I play I make my pending list grow up, if I don’t play, I still cannot work with concentration. Man this is not fair, I seriously need to get more time for myself, but not this day. Whatever it takes I have to hold business. God is there to give a middle path, he already did that. Aaryan is getting habitual to wake up until mid night and I can work while I see him playing on bed near to my desk. Keep talking to him while writing code.

Wish I can get more time with him, but I am happy with whatever comes up. One day I will be free for all this that I miss today, I will get my dues then for sure.

Someone suggest to use 3rd party dialer, but I am not very keep to install anything “else” on server and I believe that there should exists some method to do it within available windows resources. But when I read article on “10 default things windows should adopt from Linux” where I read about crone feature I got an idea, that why not schedule the RASPHONE through scheduler ? So here is what I do:
I create a batch script that simply ping google.com, if ping is unsuccessful it call rasphone with “-d” switch and dial the connection. now I schedule it to run every 5 minutes after ssytem startup for indefinate time. Simple 2 line batch script and work is done.

I love pink dress of kids and if they have lion on it makes it really beautiful.

I respect those experince author but as in one of article it says, “Just because you live in the United States, don’t assume that everything is on Windows,” Orr said. I would says, if you take stats from companies sales doesn’t mean user actually are using those Operating system.

When mirosoft launch public Beta review of Windows 7, thousands of Vista /XP notebook user install that Beta and RC versions on their PC. In India, I have see most people to save license cost buy Linux based Netbooks but end up installing Beta or RC version of Win 7, and yes no report can count that as for researcher, piracy is not counted. Netbook sold on Linux means it use Linux.

As a web developer when I see W3schools.com’s stats which is public available and used by every single web developer to take help on HTML and programming about web, it clearly shows linux is used 4.3% in last month less then MAC itself which is 6.7%. Check it yourself (http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_os.asp). If 30% of computer user are on Linux why w3schools record so low? doesn’t software developer like to use Linux ??? If developer cannot use Linux then how can a normal user does that ? Scary if you are normal user.

Secondly, that Article about microsoft saying 93% of market share was publish based on some research in Feb 2009, where as the “Contradiction” cames in Nov 2009, after 10 months, come on man 10 months are away too much to change market trend, specially in computer fields, Or does the researcher team going per home counting the PC..lol.  But I am sure the truth is not lie in both stats.

But it should be somewhere between Actual SALES of OS on netbook and Actual Usage of OS. Linux does get 30% sales as research says, but Windows got used on 93% of netbooks. ah, that means 23% of linux user are actually using pirated software, and researcher says microsoft is clean after its $10 billion fines. Yeah, that is right no one is good or think of user, but atleast microsoft dare to says “they make something good” rather than saying “We are better than Mr. X, because Mr. X is cheat”.

Suddenly my brother remind me of colour Pencil Artistic Filter, and here I go with my method. I convert he photo to Grayscale and apply Color Pencil. And got the look I need.

Few things that I learn is:
1. better remove the background if you can
2. Use less detailed image for better result

But all that method works for me well, though other methods are good and provide different kind of pencil sketch.

To my surprise, HTML v2.0 was standard until 1997. I was amazed to read that. Later in 1998, we have HTML version 4.00. But why we follow HTML 2.0 until 1997? Well the answer goes to history of firefox, Netscape navigator the Browser of that time, which start losing its ground against IE 5. IE 5 not include most of HTML 4.0 standard but is certainly better with its ability to correct HTML errors left by developer.(Remember that forgot TD in HTML code mess the page in navigator?).

Later in year 2001, when web was not very much evolve and market was recovering from IT SLOW down, microsoft dare to release IE 6, which help market gain some momenutum. But do we expect a Commerical company to invest heavily during that time? I guess no, so does microsoft might have done. They just make improvement to existing IE version and release a new browser for their upcoming Windows XP. Microsoft rules the market in web during that time, nobody knows of GOOGLE. So do microsoft has to follow HTML standard or should it follow what help them better user experience? I guess what microsoft does is good.

But certainly most techincal people doesn’t like that specially if they are annoyed with Windows ME bugs. Also the netscape is looking someway to defeat IE in web browser. Later in year 2004 they get a chance when people around the world start to learn of OPEN SOURCE Browser Firefox. Wow, it was after almost 6 years of defining web standard and 3 yrs after IE 6 they start ground again IE 6. However the main idea of Firefox is not to provide better option for client but to provide “Alternative” to Microsoft product. This was reflected in their advertisements as well. Even surprisingly they use that techinque even today when they are the LEADER in web browser.

When you install IE version it never ask to import data from other browser, but when you install Firefox or Chrome, they both ask to import ONLY from IE. Surprisingly my last install of Chrome doesn’t ask me to import data from Firefox, which is most used browser of that time. Do they have answer for it?

Microsoft is a commerical company not a charity foundation that give free software and then ask for donation? It create a product and sell it. Though in today’s world user mean nothing but “better” options. They are not friend of any product. Lately I discover Firefox render page differently on MAC then compare to windows or Linux box, now shall I start hate firefox ? This is what happen with MS. Even if Firefox is open source how many User of firefox actually download it’s source code and compile Firefox ? I guess it is less than 1-2% of how many users are using Firefox in their daily life.

Internet explorer with its market share get relaxed and fall behind on standard and with non coorporate users are taking more of web they fall the ground. As a web developer I see problems with 2-3 browser having almost equal share in market, we prefer one browser of any brand any standard. But as user I don’t mind using any browser they are good for one and bad for other.

Google Chrome OS is not an OS but a Computer hardware running only a Browser. This sounds good, but do we really need such thing ? Or more over are we really ready for it?

At first the idea looks very good, and if you consider your children who came back home from school, sit on computer do only chat and facebook and then go for sleep, what else they need ? But wait, don’t they write documents ..we have google online document/office suite. hmm don’t they play their action game or car racing game.. ah that cannot be done on browser as of now. I mean Flash game took 10 minutes before we can play a simple card game with friends, who can I play a car race on internet. More over what if I have to download some client for my game? Where do I install it?

Google Chrome Team says that it took 45 seconds to boot the computer, the time one can make sandwich (they forgot that making sandwich took more time then that, as one has to open the fridge and take their knife out and blah blah, why you make sandwich running in kitchen) but anyways. How many time you really boot your PC in single day ? and how many time you need to restart your browser as it getting cached or acting nuts because same window was open from last 2 hrs? well the answer is PC boot was done just once or twice per day, if you shut it down at night (and not to torrent stuff), otherwise you open browser atleast 10 times per day. So what if your Google Chrome OS get cached, you have to spend <10 seconds of Chrome OS boot time? so if you boot 5 times you reach 50 secs anyways.

Also as I read some reviews about video, what happen if you are driving home and listen music online ? wait a minute you cannot do that with your 512kbps mobile phone Internet access? even if you do, don’t your phone gets disconnected because of network problem? if so your internet can get disconnected as well, so you cannot hear music on internet a useless Car stereo do the job better.

Google chrome is nothing more than a Linux distro as per estimation now that is stripped down to run only what a browser need to run. So you end up been a computer engineer who add modules to its computer for everything else he need. you need video player to run your DVD, add a driver and software. you need to install Game, first install OpenGL or joystick they are not there by default if it is only Browser. If it is not only browser, then didn’t it take time to initalize those stuff? then won’t it increase the boot time again?

After thinking about it, I would say it will be incorrect to say a computer with Google Chrome OS as “computer” , but it make sense to call it as “Internet Machine”. Or maybe you name it as GoTweetBook Machine (Google+Twitter + FaceBOOK) ?

It is how Aaryan look soon after his birth. More photos coming soon.
