What is the DNS?
In the mobile device you have, when you want to call your friend, click on his name only, and then the connection is made. Bhsal which is that the numbers on your mobile device does not bring the name (script) for the mobile network, instead, directs the caller ID because they know that this name is linked to that figure.

This is exactly the DNS and what he does. He knows that the name of the site which was written by a particular IP number tied flies to its own server, and then displays its contents on the computer screen in front of you. If it works as a database of names and numbers of names in our equipment such as phones.

For example, when you write swalif.net in your browser, passes the request through the DNS, which in turn by the IP to any number back, and thus access to the right server for the site you requested, and to bring its contents and then display the computer screen in front of you.

How is the query as soon as I entered the internet?
Without the need to enter into technical details, it is when you connect to the Internet as follows:

When you connect to the Internet, the Internet Service Provider you have flags (supply) your PC number of its DNS automatically generate -> you are typing the address of a site to go to -> The browser you convert the caption text that you typed to the server’s DNS service provider Online you have to know any IP number back -> the browser after seeing the figure to go to your server and retrieve the contents of the site and display it on the screen of your PC

Warning!
Should be the DNS system, which are using a reliable and secure. Why? Did you see that you typed in red above? This means that systems can DNS unreliable, should refer you for example when requesting the Bank to another server does not belong to the bank, and when the page identical to the banking page which is used to see, and thus entering your account information without knowing that they were another page in another server do not have relationship bank!

So, what did Google and what Google Public DNS?
Seems to be Qoukl not convinced the performance of the current DNS system, and see that it does not deal with requests that we do every day in a smart and fast. Qoukl says that the current DNS systems are due to the many query operations that we have by us and others to convert it, compress the cause of the delay in passing a number of our requests, and delay in the Internet browser to see which sites ask.

From here emerged the draft Google Public DNS, which says Qoukl him as one of the fruits of their interest in promoting fast website. Appear to be interested in speed to the point of starting from the first point have involved, the query point as soon as we asked for one of the sites, before moving on to speed servers themselves after that, and Internet connection speed.

Google says that Google Public DNS better than the current DNS systems in the following:

* Faster in the requests for information (knowledge of each name, to any number back IP), a feature which plays the most important role the difference here
* Best in the storage system Caching
* Safer and less vulnerable to sabotage

What options are available?? http://www.arabic-b.com/english/2009/12/01/e-books-readers-and-electronic-ink-what-options-are-available/ http://www.arabic-b.com/english/2009/12/01/e-books-readers-and-electronic-ink-what-options-are-available/#comments Tue, 01 Dec 2009 18:33:43 +0000 admin http://www.arabic-b.com/english/?p=464 That these days in which we live and the next short period is one of the most prosperous times of the concept of e-book as well as being a vital point, very important for the transition or transfer of the merger between the paper book and Renaissance digital, and what we see in these days is what tells us the future of the book in the coming years after it emerged some calling for the end of an era full of books was the compromise represented in the form of e-book with the emergence and spread of e-ink technology – e-ink – which gives a great deal of the advantages of the paper book without abandoning the advantages of the digital age.

However, what I would like to talk about here is a response to the demands and many questions – especially the lovers of the acquisition of books – about the options currently available in the market for reading e-books that enabled e-ink deal with prices and how to get these different options for the Pan-Arab region .

Amazon Kindle
Start from the beginning is a logical and Kindle from Amazon, which is between the months of all electronic devices to read books as the advantage of being the first to move the revolution of e-books when presented for the first time. Kindle is available at the moment three different versions of the Kindle is a copy of the user’s traditional American version of Kindle’s traditional markets and a copy Kindle DX and is special in the American market only now. And similar to the traditional Standard and DX a lot in most of the properties other than the fact that the latter provides a wider screen measuring 9.7 inches compared with 6-inch version of the traditional as well as the storage capacity of more than doubled. Key features obtained by the purchase of the Amazon Kindle is focused mainly on the Amazon store for e-books, which allows you to purchase immediately wrote in anywhere via wireless coverage, which extends in a large number of Arab countries and you will get the machine that has a solid international reputation and prospects continuous development of the fact that Amazon has developed the product on top of their priorities clear.

Kindle sells for $ 259 for a version of the American market and $ 279 for the version of the World The Kindle DX farms is sold at $ 489 and you will need in all circumstances to a resident of the United States or any of the states that allow Amazon to ship the device to you now to buy a Kindle and you can use one of the shipping services and re-routing, such as Shop & Ship for the purchase of the device over the Internet directly.

Sony Reader
E-reader from Sony Sony Reader has always been is a traditional rival of the Kindle before the emergence of multiple other competitors and is still at the moment this device is the option closest to the users in the Arab region who wish to acquire an organ of reading e-books as it is the only — Among the top competitors in this category of devices – which are sold through official distributors of Sony in some Arab countries and of course the possibility to buy online the same manner as noted above him. Sony Reader released in two versions, Pocket Touch and Sony is preparing soon to launch is the third version of Sony Reader Daily Edition. Smaller version, Pocket, comes to a display measuring 5 inches of internal memory and can not be fixed to increase capacity of 512Mb and is sold at official is $ 200 while the other version offers Touch touch screen measuring 6 inches, an internal memory capacity of 512Mb of expandable memory cards to 16GB and is sold at $ 300.

Both devices are supported by more than a library of electronic books and offices that are expanding Sony to attract more and more with the aim of supporting the device and its users and especially in its deal to support the project last Google Public Domains Books million to provide free e-book available for download for users of Sony Reader.

Nook of the Barnes & Noble
If Amazon has a strong motivation for the development of electronic devices to read books with large library of electronic books available for sale, the Barnes & Noble now have a stronger motivation and the fear of losing control of its core in the event of sales of the paper book e-book for Amazon, which was rushed to subdue him . Indeed, the defense and Barnes & Noble on the doors of the main livelihood came a violent release what it called the company more reader e-books growing in the world, Nook. Fact, the Nook carries with it the promise of huge developments in this emerging market, the device comes Bashastei display screen is the first electronic ink measuring 6 inches to display e-books in a manner similar to the Kindle, the latter color touch screen measuring 3.5 inches from which to browse the contents of the device from e-books across the width of the covers of books as a Nook ways to connect and wireless downloading of books online using the first third-generation phone and the second using the WiFi. 2GB internal memory capacity can be increased using memory cards. Nook is available for sale Chheu the end of November at $ 259 and is to appear as the rate is ideal for a wonderful and I expect to be able to be purchased in the same way, either by a resident of the United States or through the Internet and shipping services such as redirection and Shop & Ship and that it was not likely in the foreseeable future to see him officially in the Arab countries.

Other devices actually available at the moment
In my opinion, and as market indicators tell us the three organs of the above options are better in terms of key features and the most famous in the current time in this area, but this does not negate the existence of some other limited options, such as organs Booken Cybook Opus – sold at $ 280 — and iRex DR800SG and a limited number of other devices, some available in some stores scattered in the Arab region and that was the importation of these devices are often sold at higher prices compared to price and the official.

Mobile future
As has been mentioned, the market for devices to read e-books is one of the promising markets, which flourish dramatically over the next short period, and adding to these options currently available, there are a number of future devices some of which were announced in its details already fully and some others are still captive and expectations of speculation and rumors. Of what belongs to the first two Spring Design Alex – and is a device that holds two displays, one color ink, and other working-mail and is similar to a large extent to the Nook – Reader e-books and a series of Asus Eee and that was not available for much of the information at the present time. The devices that do not remain mere speculation and rumors include the tablet device from Apple and Microsoft Courrier project and both projects for the devices to tablet is said to target market e-books as part of what will be provided.

Note: The information on the prices valid until the moment of writing this article and the rationale for changes that occur in the future

In fact since the first day of the program and WordPress for iPhone enthusiasts, I was deeply experience and try to use it as a real writing and work from anywhere.
But, although I have tried to fall in love with this program, but I have not succeeded in that for several reasons:

- And showcase the latest developments were not practical enough
- The Arabic language were not supported officially on iPhones and attempts Arabization of independent parties that were not ideal fully
- The keyboard were not available so casually makes writing a long story less comfortable, easy and so even though I consider myself – and the testimony of many people – lovers of keyboard and iPhones who used to write e-mails made up of hundreds of words in record time without any problems
- The program after a number of minor updates that have occurred in the first versions started to suffer from several problems related to performance and stability, making it unreasonable to rely

But, since WordPress briefly and specifically the end of last October launched the second version of the program of the new WordPress for iPhone, which managed to avoid all the problems and mistakes of the previous version and which have already begun to fade with updates and additions to the operating system the phone itself . But what really mattered was that I decided to go to experience again and re-evaluation of the WordPress of Yvonne as an effective means for writing and remote working and what I found to make it very difficult, but impressed by this program and this experience in general.

The new update has succeeded in increasing the stability and reliability of the program has also become an excellent program takes the constant internal backup of everything you write as well as the program’s ability to deal with the site and write to him in spite of the different layers of protection that we use in addition to a number Forge many other updates.

But, to be honest assessment and experience fully, I have wrote this article in full (more than 450 words) and publish it by using the 3 GSM iPhones and the WordPress 2, I would call the work environment as being an effective way and the process of writing and working from a distance, of course, not without some typos – wrong only 4 characters in this story is complete and depends on the extent Taudk to use the phone’s keypad to be sure – and handled after it was read the article and will not be this experience is similar to using computer for the same job and excels in the latter significantly, but is important for me is that it is possible and effective for those conditions are not having a computer and during the movement and motion.
