AtricleZine - The Mac Web Ghetto
In previous articles, 'History of the Computer - How Computers Add' and '- Flip-flops - a basic counter' we looked at adders, and counters. Now we will consider how these building blocks can be used to perform multiplication.In the Decimal system, we can multiply by 10 by adding a 0 to the end of a number. For example 4 with a zero added becomes 40, similarly 346 becomes 3460. We can expand this by adding 2 or 3 zeros to multiply by 100 or 1000.THE SHIFT REGISTERI

Leonardo of Pisa, nicknamed Fibonacci was born around 1175 in Italy . Fibonacci was one of the greatest mathematicians of the 13th century.Fibonacci is known for discovering a series of numbers that was called after him the Fibonacci numbers or the Fibonacci sequence.1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233 …In the Fibonacci sequence each term, except for the first two, is the sum of the two previous terms for example, 2+3=5, 3+5=8.Fibonacci and the Golden R
I couldn’t connect to the Web site of my doctor’s office to make any appointment, because their site only wants patients to enter on IE and Windows. I am testing some security appliances for Information Security magazine, and some of their configuration pages also expect to see IE and Windows. I thought I would upgrade to QuickBooks online rather than buy some new software — but guess what? It only runs on IE and Windows! And the OfficeLive service from Microsoft – which by the way is very cool and is an absolutely free Web hosting solution – only runs on IE and Windows. The list goes on and on.
Fortunately, I run both MacOS and Windows here, so it is more of an annoyance than a showstopper. But still, the message is clear: if you use anything other than Windows, you are not worthy. Go the store and buy a real OS.
The Microsoft Web has been happening for some time. As I wrote several years ago, developers are building Web-based applications using tools and servers from Microsoft. They run on IIS with ASP, and use Visual Studio and of course assume that Internet Explorer is the intended browser so they write these apps accordingly. And if they dabble in Java, they use the Windows version of Java that doesn’t quite work on non-Windows platforms.
Microsoft’s tools certainly can deliver the richest, coolest Web stuff in the shortest time. Of course! That is their not-so-secret plan. They get what makes developers tick and then they supply the Microsoft-flavored crack that keeps their programming mojo pumped. It is a wonderful thing, no? Sun, bless them, still can’t figure this out. IBM with all of its Eclipse and open-this-and-that, can’t figure this out.

Companies today have so much data that flows in and out of the office that they need an effective system in place to manage all this data in a way that makes sense and from which all employees benefit. Data management is becoming more and more important as the volume of data that a company deals with on a daily basis needs to be sorted, delivered, and utilized. For small companies this usually isn’t an issue as they can easily manage and store their data on computer servers. However, large c

The small business segment creates a lot of new jobs. Even though big business always demands the limelight, small businesses play their part in providing a support base to the national, state, and local economies. They are critical in providing the much-needed economic vitality, especially in traditional areas of commercial activity. Given their importance to the national economy, tax plans and reforms have targeted small businesses in terms of providing them various kinds of tax relief.

I started writing as a way of keeping safe memories of a particularly adventurous 3 years of my life when I became totally addicted to the world of online chat rooms and met a number of 'gentlemen' for real that I met in fantasyland online.However after I allowed an educated friend to read my short stories, I was motivated to attempt a manuscript, and whilst it was extremely daunting to open my life up for judgement, I considered the good I could do by way of educating people on the dang

Well, there are some bumps in the road, especially with the latest version of IE, version 7. Some of the IE faithful are finding out that things can be painful under the Microsoft Web. IE7 breaks a lot of stuff, and not everyone has tested – or adjusted — their apps for the new browser. Eventually, we will all work out the bugs, I am sure, because we have no choice.
Remember the days when the Web was “browser-agnostic” – meaning that you could run anybody’s browser to view any Web page? That’s so over, so quaint. Now we can’t even build a Web that is “IE agnostic” to run on any two IE versions, let alone versions of IE back to say, v5, which seems like ancient history but is still pretty much in active use on many desktops today. That is one of the problems of the Microsoft Web: it flies in the face of what the Internet used to be all about: writing to internationally accepted standards that actually meant something.
Oh, come off it, Strom. (You might be saying.) So what? Look at what happened to Netscape, who took the standards high road? They got AOLized, and then sank after a cameo appearance at the Microsoft monopoly trial. Who needs standards when Uncle Bill can take care of all of us? Aren’t we better off with just running Windows?
Not really. The Web deserves better than to become yet another Microsoft business unit. There is a reason why I still use my Mac as my main business computer, so I can save the countless hours that I would have spent fixing spyware attacks and redoing my OS when it gets messed up with somebody’s idea of a good joke. But it means that I have to live in my Mac ghetto, and that’s a shame. Because it means that now we are locked into the Microsoft Web.
