Doh! The top 10 tech 'fails' of 2011

The highs were high but the lows were lower in the tech world in 2011 U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner makes our top 10 list for using Twitter to send lewd photos PlayStation outage, "Duke Nukem Forever" and failed tablets also made the cut It was a rough year for RIM and its BlackBerry, with a handful of "fails" (CNN) -- Can't win 'em all, can you? The highs were pretty high in the tech world in 2011, as new gadgets, updates and advances delighted the masses. I mean, Facebook made a change that most people (so far) seemed to actually like. What are the odds? But the lows were lower. For every moment of digital bliss, it seemed, there was a clunker of equal or greater magnitude. So, who are we to not rub salt in the wounds of those who got it oh-so-wrong this year? In fairness, some of these "Doh!" moments came from folks who had otherwise good years. And nobody, not even perennial tech darling Apple, is perfect. (One hard-working journalist even had to write this very story twice after he accidentally deleted it and was forced to start over. Sweet, sweet irony.). Sure, tech successes are nice. But these social-media miscues, foot-in-mouth e-moves and other digital duds gave us more to talk about in 2011. Here are our 2011 "Tech Fails of the Year." Feel free to jump in the comments and let us know what we missed. Weiner on Twitter In a crowded and competitive field, former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner grabs our "What Were You Thinking?" award for this one.

Top 10 most bizarre tech stories of 2011

Of the many tech advances this year, only the strangest of the strange made the top 10 Body organ implants, a kissing machine and a brain-powered car are a few that made the list Owling also made the top 10, as it followed planking as the latest ridiculous Internet meme (CNN) -- In 2011, the tech world saw the release of game-changing gadgets including the iPhone 4s, Kindle Fire and iPad 2. But along with the good (and, yes, sometimes, the bad) came the bizarre. And by bizarre, we mean the weird gadget creations and unexpected Internet sensations that went viral (cue Rebecca Black's "Friday"). Nonetheless, the strangest of the strange in the tech world made headlines by pushing the limits of technology, and this year it felt like there were more than ever. Here are some of 2011's most unusual and out of the ordinary tech headlines, stories we never thought could happen -- which baffled us when they did. 1.

The 10 biggest tech stories of 2011

In 2011, perhaps no news story was bigger than the death of Steve Jobs Social media was used heavily to organize protest around the world Mysterious hacker groups rose to prominence in 2011 (CNN) -- The technology industry often finds itself pontificating about the future, but the busy news cycle this year gave us plenty to discuss. Very influential tech pioneers died; cyber-security cost companies billions of dollars; and trends in electronics and on the Web provided new tools and created new challenges. Smartphones and tablets each grew so immensely this year that we decided to give them their own mobile year-in-review list. As for future talk, there were plenty of bold, futuristic initiatives that did not quite bear fruit this year. The seeds of Hewlett-Packard's mobile strategy, Google's plans for Motorola post-acquisition, Intel's 3-D silicon transistors and mobile payment systems like Google Wallet were planted this year. But those stories were left off of this list because their products did not reach a mass market in 2011. Look for those to make big splashes in 2012. These 10 stories in 2

Keepers of the Internet face greatest challenge

ICANN is an international organization that governs the Internet Some have criticized ICANN for how it's expanding the types of available domain names Other initiatives, such as the .XXX domains for porn sites, have been controversial The Internet is overseen by several organizations and has a checks-and-balances system Palo Alto, California (CNN) -- The Internet doesn't have a flag or a national anthem, but it does have a government. For the most part that would be the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers , which faces near-constant scrutiny from countries, corporations and netizens. Think of ICANN as the head referee of a heated sporting event, under fire from all sides and rarely able to please everyone. Last week, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission wrote a letter saying ICANN has long failed to provide safeguards that protect consumers from online swindlers and help cybersecurity officials catch such crooks. In the letter, the FTC also criticized a major ICANN initiative that would let Internet users run their own domain-name extensions, to accompany .com, .org and others. The federal agency fears that a quick expansion of domains, a project that has been several years in the making, wo

How to master your Facebook Timeline

Facebook's Timeline profile layout is now available to all users You can organize friends into lists. Facebook Lists rolled out in September On your Timeline, click "Activity Log," where you'll find posts and info to review Click the pencil icon at the top of an offending post, then choose "Hide from Timeline" (WIRED) -- Facebook has rolled out its new Timeline feature to the masses.

The top 10 tech trends for 2012

Mashable founder Pete Cashmore predicts which trends we'll see more of next year Led by Facebook, more social networks will offer automated sharing of users' Web activity Companies such as Apple may use Siri-like voice control to replace the TV remote Nokia and Samsung may release phones with bendable displays in 2012 Editor's note: Pete Cashmore is founder and CEO of Mashable, a popular blog about tech news and digital culture. He writes regular columns about social media and tech for CNN.com. (CNN) -- From the continuing rise of tablet devices to the daily-deals craze and the return of the Internet IPO, 2011 has been a transformative year for technology. The pace of change has become blisteringly fast, with traditional industries -- bookstores, video-rental chains, newspapers -- crumbling more quickly than we could have imagined. Predicting what will happen in 2012, therefore, is a shot in the dark: A year is virtually a lifetime in the digital era. And yet we can at least make a guess at what will happen in the early part of next year simply by looking at the trends that are shaping the latter half of this year. Here's my best estimate of some of the innovation we'll see in 2012: Pete Cashmore is the founder and CEO of Mashable.com. 1. Touch computing New input methods will be the d

Social networks move to meet the people next door

As social sites expand, a new wave aims to help get to know real-world neighbors Sites like Nextdoor create hyper-local networks of neighbors Pew Research report suggests nearly one in three people don't know any of their neighbors (CNN) -- The great promise of social networking has been the ability to stay in touch with friends, family and, let's face it, mere acquaintances without regard to traditional hurdles like geography. But in the process of bringing everyone, from long-lost friends to grade-school acquaintances, just a status update away, the rise of Facebook, Twitter and the like may have left someone out: the folks next door.

Are drivers too hooked on their phones?

Federal board suggests a ban on phones while driving, but many balk at the idea Many support banning texting while driving, but say hands-free, GPS should remain legal Auto industry columnist says law would be "most ignored since Prohibition" (CNN) -- A federal agency in charge of safety on the roads wants an outright ban on using mobile phones while driving. But what if we're just too hooked on our smartphones and other digital gadgets to care? For many drivers in 2011, a phone is as vital an in-car accessory as a radio, a map or a cup holder. Spend a few minutes watching motorists backed up at a traffic light and you'll see a large chunk of them on their smartphones: talking, texting, peering at a digital map or playing "Angry Birds."

The covert birth of Apple's next Santa Monica store

Apple is opening a new retail store next year in Santa Monica, California, sources say Apple and its contractors have declined to say whether the store is coming Sources: Apple rushed the store through the city approval process anonymously Real estate executive: "Something is going on there that doesn't sound right" Editor's note: This is the second in a two-part series on Apple's secretive practices in opening retail stores. The first part, about the Apple store that opened Friday in New York's Grand Central Terminal, was published Thursday. Santa Monica, California (CNN) -- The clerks at Apple's store on Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade are well-trained. When asked recently by a reporter about a new Apple Store rumored to be opening down the street, one worker said he didn't know about it, and even if he did, he couldn't say. He did point out that someone is building a store with a glass roof that looks a lot like some other Apple stores. Another employee smiled, looked away and said he didn't know anything. But according to a person familiar with the plans who is bound by a nondisclosure agreement, Apple has already begun work on such a store in Santa Monica. Like the Peter Bohlin-designed Apple Store on New York's Upper West Side, it will have a tall, striking glass storefront, the person said. And like an upcoming store in a suburban Seattle mall, the new store will open next year a short walk away from a smaller one, which will close.

Apple Store openings shrouded in secrecy

Details behind Apple's launching of its retail stores reveal a furtive way of doing business Retail executives say Apple's strict secrecy in its store-development process is peculiar Apple is set to open a store Friday inside New York's Grand Central Terminal Editor's note: This is the first in a two-part series on Apple's secretive practices in opening retail stores. Part 2, about an upcoming Apple store in Santa Monica, California, will be published Friday. (CNN) -- When Apple pulls the veil off of its newest store on Friday, New Yorkers will get their first glimpse at the classical architecture-meets-computers retail space inside Grand Central Terminal. Behind a temporary black facade, which has teased commuters for weeks with "arriving soon" messages, Apple has been negotiating aggressively and stealthily with contractors and government agencies to quickly secure a favorable deal. The Grand Central outlet is just one of several high-profile stores the company has been readying with characteristic covertness. Interviews with nearly two dozen people involved in the development of upcoming and recently opened U.S. Apple Stores, including the one in Grand Central, provide a look at Apple's unusually furtive way of doing business.

Why Apple may never catch Microsoft in TV

In the U.S., Microsoft sold 960,000 Xbox consoles and 750,000 Kinect sensors Xbox is selling more units because the available content has gotten drastically better Microsoft's TV strategy so far has been best, but Apple could still pull a rabbit out of its hat (WIRED) -- "The problem with innovation in the television market is the go-to-market strategy," Steve Jobs told Hillcrest Labs' Dan Simpkins at the D8 conference in 2010. "It's not a problem of technology; it's not a problem of vision; it's a fundamental go-to-market problem." I don't think Jobs was trying to throw Apple-watchers off the track with a coy answer. I don't think we've taken this problem seriously enough when it comes to the future of television and living-room entertainment. And I don't think either Apple's current set-top box approach or the endlessly renewable speculations about a fully integrated big-screen Apple television set solve this problem. The best approach we've seen to this problem, and the best approach we're likely to see for some time, has been Microsoft's efforts with Xbox 360. I want to explain why I think Microsoft is beating and will continue to beat Apple in this space. Then I want to outline what Apple would need to do differently in order to beat back Microsoft, Sony, Google and all other contenders if it wants to conquer the living room. Xbox is winning because of content, not Kinect For me, a light bulb went off when I saw Microsoft's Black Friday sales numbers for Xbox 360 and Kinect. In the U.S., Microsoft sold 960,000 Xbox consoles and 750,000 Kinect sensors, including both standalone units and bundled with Xboxes. It was Xbox's biggest week ever; mighty impressive for a six-year-old game console likely to be displaced by a next-generation model in a year or so. But the total numbers are less interesting to me than the spread between them. It means there are at least 200,000 people, and quite possibly hundreds of thousands more, who

How to Avoid Writing Boring Blog Posts

You had paid a considerably sum for a premium blog theme and spent so much time making it look great and was churning out posts almost on a daily basis. Yet, you are wondering why the amount of visitors to your blog is not increasing or worse even your regular readers are fast turning into irregular readers.

Admit it, you won’t want to visit a boring blog either right? So the next question is how to avoid writing boring posts.

HipHop for PHP: Move Fast

By Haiping Zhao - Wednesday, February 3, 2010 at 12:30am

One of the key values at Facebook is to move fast. For the past six years, we have been able to accomplish a lot thanks to rapid pace of development that PHP offers. As a programming language, PHP is simple. Simple to learn, simple to write, simple to read, and simple to debug. We are able to get new engineers ramped up at Facebook a lot faster with PHP than with other languages, which allows us to innovate faster.
Today I'm excited to share the project a small team of amazing people and I have been working on for the past two years; HipHop for PHP. With HipHop we've reduced the CPU usage on our Web servers on average by about fifty percent, depending on the page. Less CPU means fewer servers, which means less overhead. This project has had a tremendous impact on Facebook. We feel the Web at large can benefit from HipHop, so we are releasing it as open source this evening in hope that it brings a new focus toward scaling large complex websites with PHP. While HipHop has shown us incredible results, it's certainly not complete and you should be comfortable with beta software before trying it out.
HipHop for PHP isn't technically a compiler itself. Rather it is a source code transformer. HipHop programmatically transforms your PHP source code into highly optimized C++ and then uses g++ to compile it. HipHop executes the source code in a semantically equivalent manner and sacrifices some rarely used features — such as eval() — in exchange for improved performance. HipHop includes a code transformer, a reimplementation of PHP's runtime system, and a rewrite of many common PHP Extensions to take advantage of these performance optimizations.

Some Semantic Approach

 Include:
    * Operational Semantic
    * Semantic denotation
    * Axiomatic Semantic
    * Algebraic Semantic
    * Structured Operational Semantic / Natural Semantic


Operational Semantics 

In computer science, operational semantics is a way to give meaning to the computer program with a rigorous mathematical way. Operational semantics are classified into two categories: structural operational semantics (or small-step semantics) formally describes how the individual steps of a calculation which takes place in a computer-based systems. By the opposition of natural semantics (or big-step semantics) explains how the overall results obtained from execution.

POTENTIAL SECURITY PROBLEMS AND CHALLENGES: FACTS AND PERSONAL OPINION

Working with your daily activity with the help of the internet has become an essential part nowadays. However, the network we are using is not always safe from criminals such as crackers (evil hackers). Especially when it comes to sensitive parts which is confidential to us. Network security issues that is caused by the work of another human, not from random errors, is called cybercrime.
People with lacks of networking ethics tends to do bad activity over the net. They start off with small mischievous acts such as falsifying personal information (faking your real name) to real crime which is stealing money from others people’s credit card account. This can be very worrying for honest people trying to do business or work online.
