JAVA PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE.

Did You That The Java Proggramming Language Was Developed By JAMES GOSLING At Sun MicroSystems In The Early 1990s. The Language Is Named After A Slang Term For Coffee. Since The World Wide Web(www) Appeared On The Internet In 1993, The Language Has Been Enhanced With To Facilitate Programming On The Web. Since Then It Has Become One Of The Most Popular Languages Especially For Web Proggramming.
One Reason For Java's Popularity Is That It Is PLATFORM INDEPENDENT. This Means That The Same Compiled Program Can Run On Virtually On Any Computer In The World. This Independence Sets Java Apart From Most Other Programming Languages, Which Require Different Compilers For Different Operating Systems. For Example, A C++ Programme Compiled On A UNIX Machine Won't Run On A Windows Machine...For More Info U Can Visit The Website ...http://www.mathcs.richmond.ed/

VMware Kills vRAM Licensing, Will Focus On vSphere Cloud Bundles


By Kevin McLaughlin, CRN, August 21, 2012, 1330 hrs
VMware is discontinuing an unpopular server virtualization-licensing program and will focus on marketing vSphere and its other cloud computing products as a unified stack, CRN has learned.

In its upcoming release of vSphere 5.1, VMware is getting rid of vRAM entitlements, which debuted with vSphere 5 and determine how much memory customers are permitted to allocate to virtual machines on the host, according to sources familiar with VMware's plans.

VMware will return to its previous CPU-based licensing model and will announce the move at VMworld when it unveils vSphere 5.1, sources told CRN.

VMware did not respond to a request for comment on its decision to discontinue vRAM.

Sources told CRN that VMware is ditching vRAM in part to maintain its competitive edge against Microsoft, which is adding several enterprise-class features in its upcoming release of Hyper-V 3. Microsoft, which has labelled vRAM as a "vTax," has been using the model in a campaign to lure away VMware customers.

Jettisoning vRAM will allow VMware to adopt a packaged licensing model, in which its other cloud products—such as vCenter Operations, vShield and vCloud Director—will be included with the base vSphere licenses. This will simplify matters for customers and eliminate what has been a source of friction in the channel, sources told CRN.

"A lot of customers feel like they are being nickel-and-dimed on things, which hurts the cost model of virtualization, so VMware is going to aggressively bundle. That bundle scheme made little sense with vRAM," said one source, who requested anonymity.

The vRAM model triggered an outcry from customers when VMware introduced it last July. The hubbub subsided after VMware increased its initial vRAM limits, but sources told CRN that many customers still view the model as overly complex and expensive.

"The vRAM entitlements confused the hell out of a lot of customers," said one source, who spoke with CRN on condition of anonymity. "They did not get why they had to burn multiple licenses for their memory-dense servers. It was because they were buying a ton of RAM to run lots of workloads."

For partners that have been on the front lines educating customers about vRAM, VMware's change of course is a mixed blessing.

"We were very relieved to hear that the vRAM licensing model is going away, but also a little annoyed that it was put in place for such a short time," one source told CRN, speaking on condition of anonymity. "We have spent a considerable amount of time talking with customers about the pros and cons of the vRAM system, how it affects their environment, and what we needed to do to plan for the future."

VMware has been talking about selling its cloud stack as a unified whole for some time. In an interview with CRN last June, Carl Eschenbach, COO and Co-President, VMware said the goal was to eventually give the channel an all-inclusive private cloud bundle. "Today there is not a single SKU that pulls it all together, but that's the direction we are going as a company," Eschenbach said at the time.

VMware will also use vSphere bundles to jump-start adoption of vCloud Director, which has been sluggish, sources said. vCloud service provider partners have been slow to build out the infrastructure and business model for cloud services, and Project Zephyr, VMware's public cloud infrastructure-as-a-service, is seen in the channel as another attempt to address this issue.

vRAM is one of the few blemishes on outgoing CEO Paul Maritz's successful four-year tenure. Yet, Maritz never backed down when questioned about VMware's rationale for vRAM, noting on several occasions that VMware was merely adjusting its vSphere licensing to account for the greater value its customers were getting from it as they embraced the cloud model.

Maritz has also made it clear that additional licensing changes are coming as VMware moves to a consumption-based model.

"We are trying to be careful, and thoughtful, as we go forward, and be honest about the fact that over the next years ... the licensing is going to have to change," Maritz said in February at VMware Partner Exchange.

It would not be surprising if the decision to kill vRAM came from Pat Gelsinger, incoming CEO, VMware, who spent 30 years at Intel and may not be keen on the idea of limiting what customers can do with today's multi-core processors.

Starting September 1, 2012, Gelsinger will take over as CEO of VMware, and Maritz will move to EMC as Chief Strategy Officer.

With all of your private Facebook communication now happening in the Messages area, clutter can build up quickly. Looking at the list of messages you'll see an option next to each one for Archiving. Unfortunately, this doesn't actually delete the message, it just removes it from the main list. If you want to permanently delete a message, you have to open the thread, click a button at the top and then delete.
Instead of visiting each message thread, check out Facebook Fast Delete Messages, a handy extension for Google Chrome. Here's how to get started:
(Credit: Screenshot by Nicole Cozma/CNET)
Step 1: Download a copy of the Facebook Fast Delete Messages extension.
Step 2: Log in to your Facebook account and head to the Messages area (you'll want to view them all at once).
Step 3: Click the small Red X next to each message to delete the entire thread without having to open it.

The only thing this extension is missing, as mentioned on Guiding Tech's coverage, is a confirmation pop-up for deletion. Additionally, a toggle for the confirmation dialog would be useful. However, this extension still makes message deletion faster than Facebook's method.

Hits and misses in Windows 8 so far....

As Microsoft approaches the home stretch for finishing Windows 8, we take a look at what the OS does well, and what it must fix to be a success.

With the Windows 8 Release Preview finally available, Microsoft has taken a major step toward putting its chips on the table for its biggest gamble ever. While we may start seeing some of the hardware that will run Windows 8 as early as next week, we know enough about the operating system itself to say what's surprisingly good and what needs help, STAT.
What we liked so far:
The Metro interface comes at app icons from a different angle than Apple and Google. Live tiles are actually useful, updating the stock ticker concept for a modern, mobile world. You can create tiles for individual e-mail accounts, or follow updates from specific contacts, and it presents a nearly non-existent learning curve.
Semantic zoom is the ability in Windows 8 to access different levels of content via zooming. On the Start screen, zooming out gives you a bird's eye view of your tile groups. In an app, you can zoom out to see different kinds of related content -- in the Bing Travel app, you'll see categories like Today, Featured Destinations, Panoramas, and Articles.
Picture password has never failed to impress. Everybody loves it. You create a series of gestures on a photo of your choice, and use those to login instead of a typed password. It's an obvious win for touch-screen devices, and you can choose the photo from almost anywhere -- your Facebook account, SkyDrive, Flickr, or locally stored.
The three S's: search, sync, and share provide a solid skeleton to hang much of your Windows 8 activity on. Search is intuitive, and although the search tool lives on the Start screen, it lets you drill down into Apps, Settings, or Files with ease. Sync will synchronize enormous chunks of what you do in Windows, from browser history to settings to apps. Share lets you share content across apps with little effort, powered by Microsoft's innovative Share API. App makers only have to code for that API, and other apps will be able to "talk" to it for sending content. A great example of this is the Evernote app, which you can now create a note from a Web page in only two taps.

What will frustrate you:
Learning Windows 8 doesn't take long, but it will require a quick tutorial for most people. You won't intuitively know that the Charms bar slides out from the right edge, or that zoom takes you to a different layer of content. However Microsoft decides to teach people how to use it, nearly everybody who gets a Windows 8 device is going to have to be taught.
Mousing through the Metro interface feels daunting, despite Microsoft's efforts to make it accessible. Until you get used to it, it feels like running through a herd of elephants looking for a small and possible flattened dog. That's a shame, because it's not bad with a mouse. But hot keys are faster.
Sync, again. While I did say that Sync will synchronize enormous chunks of what you do in Windows, it doesn't do it all yet. Apps and Start screen tile groups don't sync yet, and nor does your super-cool picture login. Microsoft promises that it'll be a fully operational Death Star of Sync by the time Windows 8 is shipped, but it's not a Jedi yet.
Jumping to Desktop mode is jarring. Microsoft has kept it for several official reasons, but it's really about easing the transition from Windows 7 to Metro. I don't see what they can do to fix that, because they are two diametrically opposed designs. The company seems to think that killing off the translucent Aero program borders will help, but we won't get to judge for ourselves until the final version.
Apps, where art thou? It's a nice OS. It'd be a shame if anything happened to it. Where we stand now, there's little risk of anything happening to it because there's so few native apps to test on it. Like Sync being finished by the final version, Microsoft says that there will be plenty of apps for you to play with by the time it launches in the fall. But now? Aside from the default apps like Mail, People, News, and Travel, you've got Evernote, Slacker Radio, and Cut the Rope and a handful more. It takes time to build a deep bench of apps, and Microsoft's on a tight schedule.

Most advanced malware found

Computer and web security firm Kaspersky Lab has announced the discovery of a new malicious software program considered the most advanced threat yet.

The malware, which at 20MBs is some 20 times larger than the infamous Stuxnet virus, is used as a cyber weapon in several countries, according to Kaspersky.

The malware was discovered by Kaspersky Lab during an investigation prompted by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).

The malicious program, detected as Worm.Win32.Flame, is designed to carry out cyber espionage.

"The diverse nature of the stolen information, which can include documents, screenshots, audio recordings and interception of network traffic, makes it one of the most advanced and complete attack-toolkits ever discovered," a press statement read.

Findings suggest that Flame has been "in the wild" for more than two years - since March 2010.
"The Flame malware looks to be another phase in this war, and it’s important to understand that such cyber weapons can easily be used against any country. Unlike with conventional warfare, the more developed countries are actually the most vulnerable in this case," Eugene Kaspersky said.
