What is a proxy?

Image
Ever wondered why piratebay proxy is not blocked ? Basically your ISP engages in DNS blocking against the pirate Bay. The IP address, a long strong of numbers, is linked to the name pirate Bay (it's much easier to remember) and the DNS server is basically a phone book that links the two together. So when you type piratebay.se the DNS server knows what IP address to send you to. DNS blocking is like removing someone from the phone book. A proxy server acts as a secondary phone book and acts as a middle man. It's like if your parents ban you from speaking with a friend whom they seem to be a bad influence you simply give messages to another friend who communicates with the blocked party. The proxy accesses the site for you from a place where the website is not blocked, and sends that data through to you. Since it's ThePirateBay that often gets blocked and not the hundreds of proxies, the data your internet providers sees flow only leads to the unblocked proxy IP. Do no...

Winrar's strategy to make people buy

Image
Why can we use WINRAR for free even though it constantly requests us to purchase a license? It's called "nagware" and this particular approach is used by someone that doesn't want to force users to pay for the software, but they  really  hope that they will. So they make the program "nag" the user over and over and over in the hopes that they will get so annoyed with the nagging that they'll fork over the cash, even if they'd originally planned not to. it also gives them a leg to stand on when it comes to suing businesses (or at least issuing demand letters) who use their software without a license. They don't especially care about personal use, it's businesses where they get their money.

Type of RAM that reduces power consumption by 99%

Image
Ferroelectric RAM Ferroelectric RAM known as FRAM is similar in construction to the storage cell in widely used DRAM in that both cell types include one capacitor and one access transistor. In a DRAM cell capacitor, a linear dielectric is used, whereas in an FRAM cell capacitor the dielectric structure includes ferroelectric material, typically lead zirconate titanate. FRAM requires far less power to flip the state of the polarity and does so much faster. Power usage about 99% lower than DRAM  FRAM makes  use  of  Ferroelectric  film  to  store  the  data. The ferroelectric film  is  polarised  to  a  “0”  or  “1”  state  when  the  voltage  is  applied  and  remains  stable  in  the  state  even  when  the   voltage  is  removed. Advantages Lower power usage Faster write performance Much larg...

Can we move faster than sound? HYPERLOOP

Image
The Hyperloop concept as it is widely known was proposed by billionaire industrialist Elon Musk , CEO of the aerospace firm SpaceX and the guy behind Tesla A Hyperloop is a proposed mode of passenger and/or freight transportation , first used to describe an open-source vactrain design released by a joint team from Tesla and SpaceX. Hyperloop is a sealed tube or system of tubes through which a pod may travel free of air resistance or friction conveying people or objects at high speed while being very efficient.   Some experts are saying that the proposals ignore the expenses and risks of developing the technology and that the idea is "completely impractical”. Claims have also been made that the Hyperloop is too susceptible to disruption from a power outage or terror attacks to be considered safe Hyperloop   is   planned to be an  inexpensive mode  of  transport that will have a minimal...

Why google glass failed??

Image
One: It emits radiation constantly near your head. Its like you are tying a mobile phone with your head with mobile data turned on! Two: The built in camera raises privacy concerns. You dont want to record all the activities you do 24x7 and send it to internet, right? Three: The design was not so good. It looked awkward on your head! Four: It was not released for all users. So clearly it was stopped only based on fewer reviews Five: Google glass costed $1500 dollars. Who would buy such an expensive "not so important" thing. So finally google stopped the project!

Microsoft intern claims that google has altered youtubes code to slow down microsoft edge!!

Image
A Mozilla Firefox programme manager also claimed recently that a separate YouTube redesign made the site “5x slower in Firefox and Edge. Google has denied it altered YouTube code to break  Microsoft Edge , thus slowing down its performance while users streamed YouTube videos -- a claim made by a former Microsoft intern. Microsoft Edge is a graphical web browser included in  Windows 10 , Windows 10 Mobile and Xbox One devices, replacing Internet Explorer as the default web browser. “YouTube does not add code designed to defeat optimizations in other browsers, and works quickly to fix bugs when theya¿re discovered,” a YouTube spokesperson was quoted as saying. Microsoft, however, was yet to comment on the specific claim made by its former intern. “Google has been a helpful partner and we look forward to the journey as we work on the future of Microsoft Edge,” it told The Verge. more on: https://www.hindustantimes.com/tech/google-denies-altering-youtube-...

Optical communications:                                            Optical communications technology has demonstrated unprecedented development over the past three decades and now stands alone as the enabling technology that underpins the global information infrastructure. Over this period, the throughput (measured in bits per second) of lightwave communications systems increased from 100 Mb/s in 1970 to 10 Tb/s in present day commercial systems, which represents an astonishing 100,000-fold increase. The key technologies that fuelled this surge in capacity were wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), improved fibre types, optical amplification and coherent optical networking. Although the introduction of Erbium and Raman fibre amplifiers negated the need for electronic regenerators and enabled dense WDM transmission, the success and performance of these amplifier technol...
