A dult sites are going to get their own domain name. What do you think about it?! Photo: Flickr At least pornography industry will have its own top-level domain, dot-XXX, the board of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers decided Friday. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which oversees the Internet on behalf of the U.S. government, has in the past resisted creating a .xxx generic domain name system akin to those for .com and .net. ICM Registry Inc, the company that proposed the dot-XXX domain, welcomed the vote. “It’s been a long time coming,” ICM Chairman Stuart Lawley said in a statement, adding that he is “excited” by the move. “The decision should soon bring to fruition our six-year effort to create a specific Web address for online adult entertainment, and comes on the heels of an independent review that declared that ICANN’s previous decision to deny dot-xxx was wrong,” he said. ICM Registry says it is a “completely independent ent

Y ou get an email from a person with whom you have never interacted before and therefore, before you reply to that message, you would like to know something more about him or her. How do you do this without directly asking the other person? Web search engines are obviously the most popular place for performing reverse email lookups but if the person you’re trying to research doesn’t have a website or has never interacted with his email address on public forums before, Google will probably be of little help. No worries, here are few tips and online services that may still help you uncover the identity of that unknown email sender. #1. Find the sender’s location Open the header of the email message and look for lines that say “ Received: from ” followed by an IP address in square brackets. If there are multiple entries, use the IP address mentioned in the last entry. Now paste the IP address in this trace route tool and you should get a fairly good idea about the location of the email s

This limited-edition 25th Anniversary device goes beyond slates, netbooks and smartphones to deliver something more: a full Windows 7 experience that can be enjoyed across two multi-touch screens. “The Libretto W100 continues the libretto brand’s heritage of defying convention by packaging a full Windows computing experience into highly compact ultra-mobile form factor,” said Carl Pinto, vice president of product development, Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., Digital Products Division. “This concept PC sets the pace for Toshiba’s continued commitment to innovation, demonstrating what’s possible in the next generation of ultra-mobile PCs. “We will issue a limited run of the libretto W100,” continued Pinto. “We design our products around the way people actually want to use them, so getting this

T he Adobe Flash platform saw significant improvements today with the launch of Adobe Flash Player 10.1 and Adobe AIR 2. According to a blog post from Adobe’s Flash team, the new Flash Player 10.1 features improved performance, power management and video features. The player has also been given new multi-touch and private browsing functionality. The overall viewing experience for Mac users has been fine-tuned as well. The new Flash player should deliver an altogether smoother, higher-quality experience for web video, with better buffering, peer-to-peer video and online streaming video. Adobe also says more details on Flash 10.1 for mobile devices will be announced later this month, but we’re not holding our breath for fantastic iPhone news. As for AIR , this product was released two years ago and hasn’t seen a major update until now. AIR 2 improves overall performance and HTML support while reducing memory usage. AIR 2 also includes some new APIs for developers.

A n upcoming generation of wireless charging solutions could eliminate charging woes and wires forever. I spent much of last evening on a plane. My laptop, a Dell M11x , didn’t have an adapter that worked with the American Airlines cigarette lighter plug, so I had to use the laptop battery, which meant my screen was really dim as I tried to preserve my system’s precious juice. This is one of the reasons I’m flying Virgin America now: They not only have Wi-Fi (which American increasingly has as well) they have normal US AC pugs. Hey there’s an idea, let’s put power on planes that I can actually plug into! Those tricky Europeans… At the same time, my phone battery is on life support, I have no idea how much power my headset or MiFi Verizon wireless router has left, and if I get one more battery-run device, they’ll likely put me on a no-fly list. Fortunately, a range of innovative power charging devices already exist to address these problems, and even some amazing wireless charging solu

E ver since Apple launched the iPhone app store, the company has been pushing its apps to get all of the attention. But when was the last time you read a review about a new mobile website? Thousands of apps and billions of downloads consistently steal the headlines, while the mobile web is largely ignored by everyone but the consumer. Yet, despite what the marketing would lead you to believe, consumers use the mobile web just as much as apps. At my company, we raced down the same road, putting pedal to the metal on our apps while leaving our mobile website on cruise control. Our iPhone app has been a Top 10 iPhone reference application for almost two years with almost six million downloads, and even with all of the great chart positions and visibility – just as many iPhone consumers use our mobile website as the application. We are not alone; Comscore reported in April that 72 million mobile users accessed a website compared to 69 million users who used an application. Both are showi

Last week, Google enabled an interesting feature: custom backgrounds for its search page. Now the feature is available internationally, and to highlight it, Google collaborated with several well-known artists who’ve created a gallery of background images that will be featured on the Google homepage over the next 24 hours. Unfortunately, the feature comes with a somewhat bizarre catch: You cannot turn the background images off — at least on certain Google search pages. For example, when I open my localized Google search page — http://www.google.hr/ — I’m greeted by a colorful field of flowers. I can change the image by clicking on the link in the lower-left corner, but there’s no option to completely turn it off. For many users, this is quite annoying; as you can see from this Twitter search tweetzi Twitter Search , hundreds of users are trying to find a way to get rid of the feature and restore Google’s traditional white background. There are a couple of tricks to get rid of the ima

B ing vs Google Face-Off Still On: Bing Announces Search Index Boost, Social Results & More Did you notice the competition going on between Bing and Google? The game is still on and after Google announced its new Caffeine search index, it is Bing's turn to tout the future release of its enhanced 'Bing Webmaster Tools' this summer. Bing Webmaster Tools The company calls it its "no-cost toolset" for webmasters and SEOs. The new version - as Rick DeJarnette wrote on the blog - was created from webmasters' feedback and built with (surprise!) Microsoft Silverlight 4 although basic functionalities are supposed to still be available on most browsers. What other browsers might not get are the features such as " Index Explorer , a tree-view that enables webmasters to see at a glance all of the crawling and index data for their website. Each level in the tree view offers webmasters access to specific data management controls, such as URL blocking, cache blocki

B ox.net — one of the elder statesmen of the cloud file storage game — today released Box Sync , a desktop client promises to offer a seamless bridge between the desktop and cloud and should make it easier to share files and collaborate with your team. Once the client is installed, any files placed in the Box Sync folder on the computer will automatically be uploaded to Box.net and then kept in sync with the cloud. To help users share and collaborate with colleagues, every time a file in the folder is edited, team members in shared workspaces have immediate access to the updated version and receive notifications whenever there’s a change, and conflict resolution tools are provided if two people edit a file simultaneously. It’s worth pointing out that many other cloud storage providers ( Nomadesk and Dropbox , for example) provide similar desktop clients, so technically, Box Sync is late to the party. But its software does look to be pretty slick, especially with regards to collaborat

T he problem : You have documents, photos, music and other important files on the home computer. How can you “remotely access” these files from your office computer or, when you are travelling, from your mobile phone? The solution : The simplest solution would be that you copy all your data from the home computer on to a portable hard drive and carry it around but this is obviously a bit cumbersome approach as it requires you to manually sync the home computer and your portable disk. Access Files on your Computer over the Internet There are couple of ways by which you can retrieve files stored on your home computer from anywhere else using a regular Internet connection. Option 1: Using Online Backup You can use an online backup service like SugarSync , Carbonite , SkyDrive or even Dropbox – they provide desktop utilities that will automatically upload files on your home computer to the Internet and you can then access these files through the web browser of any other Internet connecte

I ntroduction This is a list in progress of color laser printer models that do or do not print yellow tracking dots on their output. Limitations of this information A "no" simply means that we couldn't see yellow dots; it does not prove that there is no forensic watermarking present . (For example, the HP Color LaserJET 8500 series does not include any yellow tracking dots that we can see, but it may still include some kind of forensic marking, since the majority of other Color LaserJET models do. Other forensic marking techniques have been invented , and we do not yet know how to determine whether these techniques are used by a particular printer.) A "yes" simply means that we (or another source, as noted) saw yellow dots that appeared anomalous to us . Until we decipher the marking schemes or receive other confirmation, this does not constitute proof that any particular kind of information is represented by these dots. In a very few cases, for example, they m

A pple iPad is an awesome device for reading PDF documents and ebooks – the screen is brilliant, the text and graphics are perfectly legible and it almost feels like you reading a real book. Favorite PDF Reading Apps for the iPad The iPad has built-in support for the PDF format. For instance, if you get a PDF document as an email attachment or if you happen to click a PDF link inside the Safari browser, you can read the contents of that file inside the iPad without requiring an external PDF reader app. However, if you have more than a couple of PDF documents to read on your iPad, it makes sense to have a dedicated app. Now there are a few dozen PDF reading apps, both free and paid, in the iTunes store so let’s see which of them are worthy enough to deserve a place on your iPad. One of the most versatile document viewer app for the iPad is the 99¢ GoodReader that can handle PDFs and a large variety of other formats including Office documents, web pages, audio and video files.
