Windows 8 Release Preview

As we know that Microsft has finally released the Windows 8 Release Preview or Windows 8 Release candidate.

Previously we are familiar with Windows 8 Devloper Preview & Windows 8 Consumer Preview. But as the news its the last beta preview they resealed before Windows 8 Final Release.

Windows 8 is the next version of Microsoft Windows, a series of operating systems produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, Microsoft Tablet PCs, and Home theater PCs. According to unofficial sources, the release date for Windows 8 has been set for October 2012, three years after the release of its well known, Windows 7. Windows 8's server counterpart, Windows Server 2012, is in development concurrently with Windows 8. The most recent official pre-release version of Windows 8 is the Release Preview, which was released on May 31, 2012.

Unlike Windows 7, which was intended to be a more focused, incremental upgrade to the Windows line, Windows 8 has been "reimagined from the chipset to the user experience" to connect more with the user. It features a new user interface inspired by Microsoft's Metro design language that can be used for multiple input methods, including touchscreen input similar to that in Windows Phone

Today most of the people are engage in a great battle with the term SEO. Lets find out some facts about it and optimize our web applications easy to use in World Wide Web.

SEO is a technique which helps search engines find and rank your site higher than the millions of other sites in response to a search query. Search Engine Optimisation or SEO is the simple activity of ensuring a website can be found in search engines for words and phrases relevant to what the site is offering. In many respects it's simply quality control for websites. Having said that if there was ever an industry that was little understood by 'outsiders' it's SEO.

Google displays sites it believes are authoritative and relevant. They measure relevance by analysing page content, the words you and I read, and they measure authority (mostly) based on the number and quality of other pages linking to the pages they show, links are like votes

So for this we need to publish our links in high traffic pages. These days Social Networking is a good trend in public. Therefore we can use that to publish our website.

Be Ready for The Future of Internet: IPv6 unleashed

IPv6 is an Internet Protocol which succeeds IPv4 which currently powers much of the Internet. These protocols are critical as they relate to addressing devices connected to the Internet. We are fast running out of IPv4 addresses, so to get new users and devices online, more addresses are required, and IPv6 solves the problem.
6th June,2012 is World IPv6 Launch Day, when many major websites such as Facebook, Google and Microsoft turn on IPv6 on their homepages. On 6th June 2011, we saw a 24-hour trial of IPv6 on the main website addresses of these sites to test for any problems, but this year IPv6 will stay enabled for the well being of the WWW

Of course, many of the more technical users may already be using IPv6 and many websites have been operating IPv6 on the main website for quite some time. However this event marks a mainstream change as some of the largest websites on the Internet turn on IPv6 for good.

Gmail New Features: Now You can Add Your Own Photos To Gmail Themes

If you’re a lover of Google’s famous Gmail, you’ll be very pleased to note that you can now add your own photos to your Gmail theme. Gone are the days of choosing between Google’s theme choices. Now let your theme is whatever you want it to be.

It’s easy to upload your own photo to Gmail via the Settings > Themes page. The new theme photos are thoroughly integrated with Google+, however, so you can quickly choose photos from your Google+ photo collection if you don’t want to upload photos directly.

When using your own photos as your background, Gmail will limit you to choose between either the Light or Dark theme. If you prefer not to use your own photos, you can use whichever Gmail theme you like.

Not everyone will be able to personalise their Gmail today, though. The new photo background feature will be rolled out slowly over the next few days, so if you can’t see the option straight away you will need to be somewhat patient.
