...Analysis 1) ROLE OF GOOGLE IN THE GROWTH OF E-COMMEERCE: With the incredible growth of the eCommerce industry, experts around the world are expecting significant change in the future, and companies are taking stock in the market by investing more money than ever before in eCommerce technology. Google Shopping and recent changes to Google Analytics are also affecting retailers and their ability to effectively market their products and services. Google has introduced a new change that will “phase out free clicks on Google Product Search listings.” Once the new program called Google Shopping launches, ecommerce merchants will be required to bid on placement for their products for related search terms in Google. Online retailers will no longer see their listings appear in the comparison shopping service. Instead, this service will be replaced with the Google Shopping program, which will include paid product ad listings. According to Sameer Samat, Google Shopping’s Vice President of Product Management, “Google Shopping will empower businesses of all sizes to compete effectively, and it will help shoppers turn their intentions into actions lightning fast. Today’s changes are a first step toward providing technology, tools, and traffic to help power the retail ecosystem.” Google + has rolled out a new service that will now include local listings and customer reviews. Globally, eCommerce is up by more than 300% in the Middle East, with approximately 70% of transactions completed through cash-on-delivery...

...One way to think about Web application development is to compare it to buying wine in a grocery store. Let's assume it is an upscale store, with a wine section and somebody who might be capable of helping you. If you were to ask him: "What wine should I buy?ÃÂ" would you expect him to turn around, pick up a bottle, and say: "Here, this is exactly what you are looking for."? Of course not. The quickest answer you could expect would be for the wine clerk to wander down the aisle, pick up a bottle, and say: "This wine just came in, and I personally think it is an excellent quality for the pricebut then, I like hearty Cabernets." To help you select a wine that really suits your taste, it would be necessary for the clerk to find out what you are looking for, what your personal preferences and experiences are, and for what occasion or purpose you are selecting the wine. Virtually every single wine on that store's shelf is potentially appropriate for a particular individual or occasion--which goes to show why selecting the "right" wine can be a rather daunting task for the uninitiated. The same is true for deploying your application on the Web. What tools should you use? Which technologies should you take advantage of? Clients? Servers? Scripting? Components? Browsers? All of these provide an extremely rich and robust array of ways to identify your approach. My intent with this series of articles is not to tell you how to solve your problem, but to provide you with the information...

...working at at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland, Tim Berners-lee proposed a global hypertext project, to be known as the World Wide Web. Based on the earlier "Enquire" work, it was designed to allow people to work together by combining their knowledge in a web of hypertext documents. He wrote the first World Wide Web server, "httpd", and the first client, "WorldWideWeb" a what-you-see-is-what-you-get hypertext browser/editor which ran in the NeXTStep environment. This work was started in October 1990, and the program "WorldWideWeb" first made available within CERN in December, and on the Internet at large in the summer of 1991. Through 1991 and 1993, Tim continued working on the design of the Web, coordinating feedback from users across the Internet. His initial specifications of URIs, HTTP and HTML were refined and discussed in larger circles as the Web technology spread. Tim Berners-Lee graduated from the Queen's College at Oxford University, England, 1976. Whilst there he built his first computer with a soldering iron, TTL gates, an M6800 processor and an old television. He spent two years with Plessey Telecommunications Ltd (Poole, Dorset, UK) a major UK Telecom equipment manufacturer, working on distributed transaction systems, message relays, and bar code technology. In 1978 Tim left Plessey to join D.G Nash Ltd (Ferndown, Dorset, UK), where he wrote among other things typesetting software for intelligent printers, and a multitasking...

...EcommerceP1 – The technologies required for e-commerce 2. Browsers: Browsers allow you to view web pages on the computer. In the majority of cases, user interaction is needed to tell the browser what web site or specific web page to be viewed. One way this is done is via the browsers address bar. The web address, or URL, that is typed into the browsers address bar tells the browser where to obtain a page or pages from. Features of browsers: Status bar, Address bar, Title bar, Toolbar Icons, Display Window, Scroll Bars Examples of browsers: Firefox, Safari, Opera, Google Chrome and most commonly Internet Explorer. 3. What you need to describe aboutbrowsers What are browsers and what do they allow you to do? Explain some of the features that browsers have. Explain some of the special features of particular browsers. 4. Web Authoring Software: Web pages are normally written in HTML which is a code. Without the knowledge of this coding, it is possible for users to create web pages with the help of web authoring software. This software enables the user to develop a website in a desktop publishing format. The software will generate the required HTML coding for the layout of the web pages based on what the user designs. Typically, the user can toggle back and forth between the graphical design and the HTML code and make changes to the web page in either the design of the accompanying code.

...The World Is Flat Flattener Information Technology Essay The World Is Flat is an international bestselling book by Thomas Friedman that analyzes globalization, primarily in the early 21st century. The title is a metaphor for viewing the world as a level playing field in terms of commerce, where all competitors have an equal opportunity. Globalization became more prominent during the last decades. Friedman argues that globalization made the world smaller and flatter, allowing all countries to take chance of the available opportunities equally. As Friedman describes in “The World is Flat” there are three eras of globalization and ten flatteners which made the world smaller, making it easier to communicate and share our knowledge. This paper deals with the flattener number 2 i.e.; “When the NetScape went Public” and associated developments after 2003 till date. Background Thomas Lauren Friedman is an American journalist, columnist and author and has won the Pulitzer Prize three times. In his famous book “The World is Flat” he identifies three eras of globalization. The first era, called "Globalization 1.0",between the years 1492, when Columbus set out to discover a new trade route to the New World, and 1800, made the world fall in size from large to medium. During this period, the strength of a country was based on the number of horsepower or the number of steam engines owned, compared with other countries. The second period - "Globalization 2.0", between the years 1800 and...

...Rev. September 30, 1999 Double Dealmaking in the Browser Wars (A) For months, the upstart Netscape Communications Corporation had battled the Microsoft Corporation over which browser the accounting giant KPMG would select for its internal use. On June 2, 1997, Netscape CEO Jim Barksdale finally heard the gratifying words that capped the see-saw dealmaking process: “You've re-won the business,” said Roger Siboni, Deputy Chairman of KPMG. “And I'd like to extend my personal invitation for you to give the keynote speech at our annual meeting in Orlando, Florida.” Delighted at the news, and visualizing the army of KPMG accountants, tax people, and consultants he’d be triumphantly addressing in August, the Netscape CEO thanked Mr. Siboni, and put down the phone. This was a crucial beachhead for Netscape in its quest for the corporate market. Netscape had initially won the KPMG contract, but Microsoft’s persistence had pried it back open. Beating back Microsoft’s latest challenge marked a great success for Netscape. This victory stood in sharp contrast to a far less happy dealmaking episode the previous year in which Netscape had tilted against mighty Microsoft for AOL’s browser business. In a sequence that gave some industry observers virtual whiplash, a pathbreaking Netscape deal with AOL had been announced, only to be undercut the very next day by Microsoft. Netscape’s ultimate loss in the AOL battle helped to define an Internet dealmaking ethos that the normally sober Wall Street...

...What is the Internet and World Wide Web? The Internet is a worldwide network of computers that use common communication standards and interfaces to provide the physical backbone for a number of interesting applications. One of the most utilized of these Internet applications is the World Wide Web. What sets the Web apart is an easy-to-use interface to a complex network of computers and data. Internet, computer-based global information system. The Internet is composed of many interconnected computer networks. Each network may link tens, hundreds, or even thousands of computers, enabling them to share information and processing power. The Internet has made it possible for people all over the world to communicate with one another effectively and inexpensively. Unlike traditional broadcasting media, such as radio and television, the Internet does not have a centralized distribution system. Instead, an individual who has Internet access can communicate directly with anyone else on the Internet, post information for general consumption, retrieve information, use distant applications and services, or buy and sell products. Connecting individual computers to each other creates networks. The Internet is a series of interconnected networks. Personal computers and workstations are connected to a Local Area Network (LAN) by either a dial-up connection through a modem and standard phone line or by being directly wired into the LAN. Bridges and hubs link multiple networks to each...

...ALLEN C. RONQUILLO BSICT-IB 1. What is Internet? - The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet protocol suite (often called TCP/IP, although not all applications use TCP) to serve billions of users worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks, of local to global scope, that are linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries an extensive range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents of the World Wide Web (WWW) and the infrastructureto support email. 2. History of Internet? - The history of the Internet began with the development of electronic computers in the 1950s. This began with point-to-point communication between mainframe computers and terminals, expanded to point-to-point connections between computers and then early research into packet switching. Packet switched networks such as ARPANET, Mark I at NPL in the UK, CYCLADES, Merit, Tymnet, and Telenet, were developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s using a variety of protocols. The ARPANET in particular led to the development of protocols for internetworking, where multiple separate networks could be joined together into a network of network 3.

...revolution of the internet. The Internet has evolved in many ways in the past 15 years. We have had Micro Controllers running at extremely low frequencies to computers having extremely high calibre processors, which are able to run at High frequencies. The Average smart phone to day can download at 8 MB/S which is the equivalent to the highest speed of the internet in 2006. In the late 70’ s there was around 20 functional networks and in 1996 there were over 50000 successful networks. Believe it or not Wi Fi technology has been around since the 1980’s; but it was only used for the top secret Federal technological development. In the 90’s the CSIRO innovated this technology to todays standard. More than 20 different tech companies paid 250 million dollars for the equipment and Australia is still waiting for a payment estimated over 1 billion dollars. There have been many revolutionary browsers which have aided in the revolution in the World Wide Web and the Internet its self. The invention of the telegraph, telephone, radio, and computer set the stage for this unprecedented integration of capabilities. The numbers have changed to over 1.5 billion users. The network's reach has expanded beyond the United States to all over the globe. But everything has its pros and cons, as it has evolved from a friendly research network to a hotbed of criminal activity including fraud and identity theft.

Push Technology A data distribution technology in which selected data are automatically delivered to the user's computer or mobile device in real time or at prescribed intervals. E-mail messages, calendar updates and text messages are examples of data that are pushed to the user. Contrast with "pull technology," in which the user initiates a request for the data each time. Browsing the Web is an example of the pull model. Pull Technology Specifically requesting information from a particular source. Downloading Web pages via a Web browser is an example of pull technology. Getting mail is also pull technology if the user initiates a request to retrieve it. Contrast with push technology.

...1989: Tim Berners-Lee invents the Web with HTML as its publishing language The World Wide Web began life in the place where you would least expect it: at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics in Geneva, Switzerland. CERN is a meeting place for physicists from all over the world, where highly abstract and conceptual thinkers engage in the contemplation of complex atomic phenomena that occur on a minuscule scale in time and space. This is a surprising place indeed for the beginnings of a technology which would, eventually, deliver everything from tourist information, online shopping and advertisements, financial data, weather forecasts and much more to your personal computer. Tim Berners-Lee is the inventor of the Web. In 1989, Tim was working in a computing services section of CERN when he came up with the concept; at the time he had no idea that it would be implemented on such an enormous scale. Particle physics research often involves collaboration among institutes from all over the world. Tim had the idea of enabling researchers from remote sites in the world to organize and pool together information. But far from simply making available a large number of research documents as files that could be downloaded to individual computers, he suggested that you could actually link the text in the files themselves. In other words, there could be cross-references from one research paper to another. This would mean that while reading one research paper, you could quickly...
