My review on Safari for windows
If you want to have apple interface in your browse then use Safari. If you want to test your website for apple users then use safari for windows.
During the early phase of safari, when apply released only beta version of safari for windows, my computer related people compared it with top level windows browsers like mozilla firefox and opera but found it far behind them in my features. Most of the reviews damaged its first impression on many users, and almost all the reviews were against safari because of its Mac like interface then a windows like interface.

Faster Linux web servers
Linux-based websites perform better than those hosted on Windows servers, according to new research.
WatchMouse, a Dutch firm that monitors server performance, based its research on a survey of more than 1,500 European websites. The company said that although the websites it surveyed were more frequently based on Microsoft’s IIS web server platform running Windows than on Apache running Linux, the latter option performed better in terms of both uptime and load time.
The research showed a marked preference within the UK for Windows-based systems, at 59 per cent of all systems surveyed.
Linux accounts for only 17 per cent of the UK total, with Solaris at 15 per cent. BSD trailed behind at three per cent and Unix at one per cent.
Linux — Top OS in Mobile Internet Devices
Linux will be a top OS in MIDs (mobile Internet devices), suggests a report from Forward Concepts. The report, aimed at quantifying MID-related opportunities for chip makers, identifies TI and Qualcomm as well-positioned in an emergent market expected to reach 40 million unit shipments globally within four years.
Intel coined the term “MID” in April of 2007, when it launched the MID concept at its Beijing Developer’s Conference. At the time, it projected a global market of 180 million units annually in the sector by 2010.
In its 206-page report, Forward Concepts is considerably less bullish. And, in a summary report highlighting key findings, the research firm suggests that Intel may not actually dominate the MID chip vendor, despite having “invented” the form-factor.

The Times, They Are a Changin’
WordPress Security
Unfortunately, they’re the wrong type of people; the ones who’ll look for ways to break a site and suck all your hard work into oblivion, all because their imaginary girlfriend dumped them for a PlayStation 3 while they were busy zapping goblins with their level 32 Warlock.

Is Linux more secure then Windows ??
There was a hammered attack in corporate network with a slew of viruses and worms, and nearly all of them focused on the vulnerabilities in Mirosoft’s softwres. People started moving from windows to Linux, but the question is, Is Linux really SECURE then Windows????
Answer is, yes for now….
Well each operating system has its security strengths and weaknesses. Windows flaws have been cropping up faster than some people can track, forget patch. But Linux has its own troubles with vulnerabilities. They simply don’t get as much media attention. And that’s because Linux isn’t as ubiquitous as Microsoft’s Windows. Windows flaws get more attention because nearly everyone — from Fortune 100 security managers to their mothers and neighbors — needs to know about them.
Is command line really so bad??
All the Linux bashers use this as an excuse/reason why Linux is not suitable as a desktop operating system. You should never have to use the command line they say. You should have to be able to configure your whole computer just by clicking the mouse. People find the command line confusing and difficult and all.
But, I personally don’t think the command line is really bad at all. Every operating system has a shell and the ability to run commands directly without using a mouse. Most technical support sites give instructions for solving problems with command line commands. And even microsoft does provide instructions to solve problem via command line…
Command line is the most powerful way to control a computer. It has been in existence since the beginning of computing time and it will not go away soon. It is even making a comeback in the windows world with their windows 2008 server and the vista power shell.
So what is so bad about it? It is the single most effective way to help someone. If they have a problem you just give them a few commands which can be copy and pasted and poof! The problem goes away. For diagnosing a problem the command line is great too. Just running a program from a command line can give you more information than a cryptic general protection error. Then that information can be copied and pasted onto forums so others can help.
