Just yesterday Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos announced the release of their newest tablet, the Kindle Fire. This new tablet has some pretty competitive features: a low $199 price tag, a super fast browser called Amazon Silk access to tons of movies, music, apps, and books. It has a 7 Inch touch screen runs a resolution of 1024×600 14.6 ounces Functions only over WI-FI Now the Apple I-pad 2 with this same features costs a whopping $499!!! So you're really getting a steal here Amazon can offer to sell the kindle so low because most of their income is earned from their ebooks. The Kindle Touch is a pretty big step forward from the actual Kindle because now it's actually a tablet (Think I-pad) Kindle Fire runs the Android OS which I'm definitely a fan of over the iOs. So far from the Kindle Touch Reviews I've read so far (keep in mind it was just released yesterday) it doesn't seem that Kindle Fire will have 4G capabilities. This is sort of a set back because having ...

The Kindle Fire, did you know that it belongs to a family of Kindles? It is the fourth generation of the Kindle that recently debuted and of course it is asking to be pre-ordered. Did you pre-order your Kindle Color? I did. After watching a video of the demo for Amazon's newest tablet to the ongoing tablet war, I had to have one. I am prepared to tell you why the Kindle Fire is the way to go if you are seriously considering a tablet purchase. Because of the unique features it seems really exciting and intriguing to at least try it. The next question is whether it is an iPad killer. I'm not for sure because the iPad has a lot going for itself in terms of apps, size, its features and not to mention a whole lot of sales under its belt. The reason the Kindle Fire is an awesome interesting buy is because: It is still portable.Obviously you can easily carry it in one hand, purse or book bag. I like that aspect because Amazon is still showing consideration to the consumer and o...

If you have ever taken a little time to listen to the call-in advice shows that are so popular on the radio, you'll quickly notice one strange and slightly disturbing fact: that there aren't a lot of people out there who are unhappily married. Whether it's constant bickering, lack of trust, or general dissatisfaction, a certain percentage of the population seems to have been locked into holy matrimony a little longer than they should have been. So why is it that these people stay together? Often, it's because their lives have become so intertwined that they wouldn't even begin to know how to separate. Aside from the general sense of familiarity, they fear having to split the house, savings account, and maybe even a couple of children... not to mention the horrifying prospect of having to meet someone new. It's not ideal, they tell themselves, but it probably makes sense to stick it out a little longer. Of course, in the long run that approach doesn'...

For most webmasters a choice of data-center is really not an issue, because a large percentage of all web sites are hosted on shared servers. If you are buying shared hosting services for a small websites the things you are probably going to look for would be the storage, bandwidth availability, server-side scripting options, the pricing which is almost same among all shared hosting companies.

More importantly if you are going to co-locate your own servers then the choice of data center is really essential. Considering you would be hosting mission-critical applications in a dedicated or cloud based platform it would be really helpful in future to thoroughly read as much about different hosting facilities before choosing one. The counting factors may be the kind of physical security available, backup power optio...

Agile development software methods have certainly been the hype for software developers everywhere since 2001. There are so many different kinds of agile methods available that it's a bit of a challenge to choose the right one for your project. The simplest way to find out would be to read up on the pros and cons of each of the three most popular methodologies, and figure out which one suits you and your project best. 1) Scrum Developed by Jeff Sutherland and Ken Schwaber, this method involves one or more small teams (composed of a ScrumMaster, a Product Owner, and a development team) that work together to complete a project based on a list of tasks that are arranged according to priority. They do this by dividing the list into shorter ones that will be completed within a "sprint", or a set period of development that lasts from 2-4 weeks.

The term Cloud causes you to envision this huge white cream puff thing out there with all your stuff in it. However, one still has to wonder what is the Cloud and what exactly does it do?

The following article will review how this mission is being fulfilled and how one laptop per child can truly save the world. War is almost always due to misinformation.

Not only are the individuals who do not have access to the Internet completely unaware of the many advances that are being made i...
