In very simple words, Ajax is a set of technologies, which allow Asynchronous loading of content in the browser window of end user. When the user does some modisications on the webpage, the page need not be reloaded from server to reflect the changes.
Main benefits of Ajax are increased interactivity and increased user experience.
The word was coined in Feb 2005! By Jesse Garrett to describe the technologies for asynchronous loading.
Here are some figures to explain Ajax:
I can imagine a day, not too distant in the future, when we will say that IPR was a good idea which died before it took roots. Yeah. I am pretty sure about the demise of IPR in its current form.
IPR was institutionalised in the 1995 Doha agreement, when the countries agreed for a uniform regime of Product Patent. Under this patent regime, the products and not processes were covered under the patent regime.
Now, what this IPR regime did not consider is 1. Situation in the third world countries, where singular proprietorship is not an ancient idea. Community, as a whole shared benefits of many of the inventions in these societies, for long. 2. IPR did not take cognizance of the ensuing regime of a Free Information World. This will be the major factor for demise of IPR.
On the virtual web, it is next to impossible to establish identity of an IPR culprit and equally impossible will be to stop the rise such culprits in any obscure part of the wired world. With increasing competition and ever increasing opportunities to communicate, it will be erroneous, at least impossible to prevent some people from doing what they can do. Creative Commons, Google tools and other infinite entities on web prove this point day after day. They represent an alternative model to the revenue based on ‘All Rights Reserved’ policy.
The effects, socio-economic and cultural, of these changes, however will be for time to tell.
10,000– This is the number of words which Shakespeare invented in English language according to Oxford English Dictionary.
The words, which the great playwright invented are so much integrated with our lives that we would be surprised at the prowess of the man.
e.g. Dheerubhai might have been Useless had there not been Shakespeare. Because the Bard invented Reliance, the word. This may seem Baseless. but even ‘Baseless’ was invented by Shakespeare, besides ‘Useless’!
Very common words like ‘Bedroom’, ‘Belongings’, ‘Birthplace’, ‘colourful’, and ‘Eyeball’ went from head of the man, into making English dictionary fatter.
Now we know one of the reasons why English is so much proud of him.
Botox: Botulinum Toxin A- basically used now a days to reduce the lines or wrinkles. Botox is injected directly into the target muscle (e.g. above and below eye). A boon for who will go to any length to look young (for 3 to 8 months). Botox is not without its side effects.
Recently in news because in Malaysia some Council issued a fatwa against use of Botox.
Reality Is A Farce...
