The Chinese company even hopes to be part of the top five global player in the shelves within three years.

The MediaPad, it is called, has been known for several months but was unveiled today in Singapore. Armed with a 7-inch screen, the tablet will be joined by a declination of 10 inches later. Its full specifications are not available, but we already know this:

In addition to the video presentation that you can see above, Huawei Devices has also published some ten days of a funny advertisement for its product. There has to work.

How Google rewards our presence on Twitter and Facebook?



The algorithm used by Google web pages to positioning is not usually something that controls a company. Still, almost all companies have clear the importance of being present in Twitter and Facebook to better position themselves, not just the need to be there if that is where the buyers are, but the importance of how to be present. Víctor Pérez Acosta speaks of this in this post: "Why social networks are important in SEO".

We talked several times about the importance of social networks in building online reputation. But now we speak of the importance of the links on Facebook and Twitter have in achieving a good SEO. Recently Google, the blog of Matt Cutts has confirmed that the measurements on these social networks are considered in the algorithm that calculates the final position of a site in search results pages. Expand on the concept.

It is true that mentions on Twitter and Facebook have already been considered in real-time search. The novelty is that the indications now are considered the natural position, with perhaps more important than a link elsewhere. The first thing you need to consider is that not all the links created on Twitter and Facebook have the same value. Google always tries to assess the popularity of the website and in this case taken as greater or lesser extent the popularity of the followers of each user. That is to afford a link on Twitter by a user who has few followers represent a minor benefit to do so by a user who has many followers. Consequently there would be a good idea to start a campaign of door openers in hopes of influencing the ranking of a site. 

How then capitalize on this new feature. Ideally, you face a social marketing campaign and achieve effective and stable presence in social networks through the creation of online communities. So if most of the efforts of SEO and SEO so far were only focused on "traditional SEO", it is time to seriously consider a campaign medium and long term include social networks mentioned. This is not to create profiles and keep people, but to achieve true interaction, failed to produce a response from the community and be considered a site of value for users.

Consider social networking as a construction technique of informal networks is not get to see the true value that they can have as power and mobilizing in the ranking of a website. Social networks have become a reference point for potential buyers and merit for themselves the effort that can be applied in developing their growth.

History of " # " symbol key‏

Fun & Info @ Keralites.netThe Symbol on the “Pound” or “Number” Key (#) on a Telephone is Also Called Anosted.

1966, 1500 series phone model from Bell Labs. One of the earliest with the now ubiquitous "*" and "#" symbols

Today I found out the symbol on the “pound” or “number” key (#) is also called an “octothorpe”.

The origins of this term date back to the 1960s and 1970s in Bell Labs with the first documented place this word showed up being in a U.S. patent filed by Bell Labs in 1973.  The exact etymology of this word isn’t known as the two “eye witness” accounts are contradictory.  However, what is known is that it was a term engineers at Bell Labs started using as early as the 1960s when Bell Labs was working on interfacing techniques between computers and telephones.

It was during this time that Bell Labs came up with the now ubiquitous “touch tone dialing”, which added two additional keys to handsets, the “*” key and the “#” key.  It is clear the “octo” part was thought up because of the eight points on the symbol.  The origins of the “thorpe” (sometimes written “thorp”) are not so clear.

Ralph Carlsen of Bell Labs wrote a memorandum on this symbol upon his retirement in 1995 where he states that Don Macpherson came up with the name when he went out to instruct their first client of the new telephone system, the Mayo Clinic.  He thought Bell Labs needed an unambiguous name for the # symbol, which had many names, so came up with “octothorpe”.  The latter “thorpe” was in reference to the incredible Native American athlete “Jim Thorpe”, who at the time was trying to get his 1912 Olympic medals returned after having them stripped away due to the fact that he once had accepted money for playing a sport (baseball), previous to those Olympics.  Macpherson at this time was part of the group that was trying to get Thorpe’s 1912 Olympic medals returned.

Douglas a Kerr of Bell Labs stated in 2006 that the term was invented by C Schaak and Herbert T Uthlaut and it was originally “octatherp”, which was more or less a joke term between the two.  This seems less plausible than the previous story.   Why would they say “octa” instead of “octo” and why would it have been changed relatively quickly after its creation to “octothorpe” in the first patent that references the term?  Nevertheless, Kerr was there, so perhaps it’s true or perhaps not as Ralph Carlson was there too.

Given that the word circulated around Bell Labs for about 10 years before appearing in text, it’s also possible it was invented by Don Macpherson, as Ralph Carlson said, and that C Schaak and Herbert T Uthlaut mocked the term calling it “octatherp” as a joke, as Douglass Kerr said.
Bonus Factoids:
  • Jim Thorpe eventually had his Olympic medals returned in 1983… 30 years after his death.
  • In the U.S. patent in 1973 where “octothorpe” first appears, the asterisk (*) was referred to as a “sextile”.
  • The # is often called the pound symbol in the United States as it is often used with numbers related to weight.   Originally “lb.” was used for this same meaning.  Later, printers designed a font containing a special symbol of “lb” with a line through the verticals so that the “l” wouldn’t be mistaken as a one (℔, Unicode character U+2114).  Eventually, this changed to the more familiar and easier to type on a standard keyboard “#” symbol.
  • Another common name for the # symbol in the United States is “number”.  In these two cases (pound and number), if the symbol precedes a number, as in #2, it is traditionally read as “number”.  If the symbol follows the number, it is traditionally read as “pound”.
  • Yet another accepted name for the # symbol is “hash”, which is a popular one in the UK.  It is also the generally accepted name for the symbol when referring to computer programming usage (often used as a comment sign, particularly in scripting languages).
  • An international standards body officially named the # symbol “square” in 1989.  This is why the British Post Office and British Telecom call the symbol a square, instead of the more common British name for it of “hash”.
  • The # symbol is also commonly called a “sharp” in such places as Japan and others.  In many places, this is as a result of the similarity to the musical sharp symbol (♯).
  • In Malaysia, the # symbol is commonly called a “hex”.
  • The * and # were originally selected to go on a standard telephone pad in 1961.  Link Rice and Jack Soderberg at Bell Labs toured the country trying to find out what possible telephone/computer interactions might come up and what would be the best symbols to use for those.  Eventually, they settled on the * and the # as those keys were available on standard typewriter keyboards.
  • In the U.S.-English layout of a standard keyboard, the # symbol appears on the same key as the number 3.  On the UK-English keyboard, the character above the number 3 is the £.   Americans call both of these symbols by the term “pound”, but the English never call “#” by “pound” for obvious reasons.
  • Microsoft’s programming language C♯ (pronounced C-sharp) is often mispronounced “C hash” or “C pound”.  The confusion comes from the fact that the symbol following the C is supposed to be the musical sharp symbol (♯). But given the # symbols prevalence in various programming languages, most programmers assume it was meant to be the “hash” symbol, until corrected.
  • In scripting languages where a # is followed by a ! (as in #!), this is known as a “shabang” (sometimes spelled “sh-bang” or “shebang”) and is typically used to tell the operating system what program to use to run some script.  The former name of “shabang” is thought to have come from the contractions “SHArp bang” or “haSH bang”; another popular theory is that it comes from the fact that the default shell “sh” is usually invoked with “shebang”, hence “sh-bang” and eventually “shabang”.  The latter “bang” name for the exclamation point is traditional Unix jargon.
  • In Chess notation, the # symbol placed after a move indicates a checkmate.  This replaced the more traditional ‡ symbol.
  • The compound tone generated on a phone by pressing the # key is a mixing of 941 Hz and 1477 Hz.
  • The two horizontal lines in the sharp symbol ♯ are optional in musical notation, but required in the # symbol.

History of Chocolate (lifecycle)

Chocolate comes of age as a health treat.

Chocolate. There are few foods that evoke as much passion as this decadent treat. Folklore from many cultures claimed that consuming chocolate instilled faith, health, strength, and sexual passion. Once an indulgence of royalty, it is now a treasured and accessible - and yes, even healthy - treat. So where did our infatuation with chocolate begin?

Where does chocolate come from, anyway?

The cacao tree, whose pods contain seeds that can be processed into chocolate, was discovered 2,000 years ago in the tropical rainforests of the Americas. The first people known to have consumed cacao were the Classic Period Maya (250-900 A.D.). They mixed ground cacao (cocoa) seeds with seasonings to make a bitter, spicy drink that was believed to be a health elixir.

What was chocolate's great allure?

To the Mayans, cocoa pods symbolized life and fertility. The pod was often represented in religious rituals, including marriage ceremonies, and was referred to as food of the gods. In central Mexico, the Aztecs believed that wisdom and power came from eating the fruit of the cocoa tree, and that it had nourishing, fortifying, and even aphrodisiac qualities. The Aztec emperor Montezuma even drank liquid chocolate daily to enhance his libido.

Europeans get a taste of chocolate - and fall in love.
Europeans got their first taste of chocolate in 1519, when Montezuma offered the spicy drink to Spanish explorer Cortes and his army. The Spanish conquistadors brought cocoa seeds back to Spain, where they introduced new spices and sugar to the liquid concoction. The fad drink spread throughout Europe, where it remained a beverage of the elite for centuries.

Chocolate becomes known for its powers of seduction.

Chocolate's reputation as an aphrodisiac flourished in the French royal court. Erotic art and literature were inspired by the seductive substance. Casanova, the infamous womanizer, made a habit of drinking chocolate before his romantic escapades. Even today, romantic lore commonly identifies chocolate as an aphrodisiac.

Chocolate goes global.

The first machine-made chocolate was produced in Barcelona in 1780, paving the way for the mass production of chocolate. Later, mechanical inventions made it possible to produce smooth, creamy, solid chocolate for eating - not just the liquid for drinking. The first solid chocolate bar was developed by British chocolate maker Fry & Sons in the early 1800s.

When did chocolate become associated with Valentine's Day?

"It's believed that during the 17th century, lovers began exchanging mementos on Valentine's Day - sweet treats were one of them. In 1868, the first Valentine's Day box of chocolates was introduced [by Richard Cadbury]," - says Susan L. Fussell, senior director of communications for the National Confectioners Association.

Three cheers for chocolate!

In 1875, the first milk chocolate was introduced to the market by Daniel Peter of Switzerland. Chocolate became so popular around the world that even during World War II the U.S. government shipped cocoa beans to the troops. Today, the U.S. Army includes chocolate bars in their rations. Chocolate has even been taken into space as part of the diet of U.S. astronauts.

Is chocolate really an aphrodisiac?

Not really, even though throughout its history, chocolate has been purported as one. Chocolate contains small amounts of a chemical called phenylethylamine (PEA), a.k.a. the "love drug," and it's been linked to the regulation of physical energy, mood, and attention. A tiny amount of PEA is released at moments of emotional euphoria, elevating blood pressure and heart rate. There is no evidence that PEA found in foods increases PEA in the brain - although many chocolate lovers may beg to differ!

The 21st Century: Chocolate makes health headlines.

Dark chocolate (as opposed to milk or white chocolate) contains healthful flavonoids similar to those found in tea, red wine, fruits, and vegetables. Studies have shown that small portions of dark chocolate can improve blood vessel flow and may improve blood sugar and insulin sensitivity to help reduce the risk of diabetes. But beware, chocolate candy has plenty of saturated fat and sugar, which can lead to weight gain, so enjoy small portions of as part of a healthy diet.

Apple - iOS 5 review

http://images.apple.com/ios/ios5/images/overview_hero.png
Apple - iOS 5 includes more than 200 new features for your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.

New version of mobile operating system, Apple took the best developments of its competitors and made them even more convenient. This, of course, refers to the new notification system and integration into Twitter . However, other innovations have been at least surprising. We waited for some functions, but have other - more interesting .
 

1500 new opportunities for software and 200 new features for ordinary users - a decent and somewhat standard figures for each significant upgrade iOS. At that time, as the iPad two cheerfully to install the new firmware (the review will be, yes!), Go over the new features of the system, which we so far have not been told.
 
 


From this autumn all iDevaysy finally become full-fledged mobile device, completely independent from your computer. Because now when you first turn your iPhone or iPad with iOS 5, we were met not "string" and an icon iTunes, and the welcome screen and the initial configuration of the device. Like when you first install Windows and Mac OS, we introduce regional and personal data, set up to connect to Wi-Fi, set the synchronization method - and all the gadget is ready to use. All the music purchased from the iTunes Store and all applications, acquired the App Store, you can instantly download from the respective stores. Whole package. The advantages are obvious legal content.
 
 
We turn to the built-in applications, and start with the new - Newsstand, a Russian localization - Kiosk. This is a separate series of shelves, which are automatically posted all purchased magazines, as well as their releases, downloadable in the presence of paid subscriptions. In the future, here to move all electronic publications that are sold in the App Store.
 
 

 

 
The most convenient and at the same time a simple browser, Safari has been updated and now finally supports tabs. No windows, accessible via a separate menu, namely the tabs that can be moved as zablagorazumitsya. Two more brand new features in the browser generated by third-party programs like Instapaper and service ReadItLater. First - Reader. It removes all "unnecessary" from a web page, leaving only the text and pictures. Formatting in this case remains in place. Second - Reading List, a convenient alternative to the system bookmarks. The needed page can be "set aside for later and return to them through a separate interface panel.
 
 

 

 
On the desktop there was another new application - Reminders. This is a task manager and "napominalok, now built into iOS. Nicely designed, it allows you guessed it, plan a small problem and combine them with a plan for the day from the calendar. A big plus: the standard calendar reminders not pereseskayutsya with Reminders, so that your "Buy milk" will never be blocked by paragraph "business meeting". You can set the tone and mark the place the task on the map.
 
 


During the WWDC transition to the new presentation of the application the Camera called the author of a surge of skepticism. Apple took several years to make such a simple feature, like photographs of the volume keys. But now we are naturally very happy - because it's convenient. On the screen appeared a separate key lock, causing the camera. In the annex, in addition to additional options for the shutter and manual zoom, there was a very useful feature - built-in photo enhancement. When you click edit and leveled the entire histogram contrast. There you can rotate, crop photos and remove red eye.
 
 
For the first time in Annex Post Office the opportunity to format text in bold, italic and underlined letters. This ensures that our letters sent to iDevaysov, become a bit more diverse and easier to read. And this will now no longer need to use the web interface. Supported reducing the size of selected text. Letters themselves can be marked - a useful feature to highlight the appropriate correspondence. Looking ahead to the impending review of the firmware, we note that the limit for the locally cached emails have increased up to a thousand pieces. Just do not forget about support standard secure S / MIME - corporate segment will appreciate it highly.
 
 
With the new keyboard so all happened suddenly. Perhaps it was the least expected feature in the new firmware. Nobody even thought that Apple will go to the division of virtual keys into two panels. This system fared well on devices from other manufacturers and will now be available to all owners iPad. One-touch keyboard is literally spreading the two halves of the screen. Probably have to get used to it (hint: really have to). But now, typing on Apple may be on the move without taking both hands.
 

In iOS also somehow have built a full-fledged dictionary, by analogy with OS X. Works is simple: select a word and get its meaning, pronunciation and origins.
 

From now on, updates will be downloaded over the air "is not in the format of the entire firmware, but as a" patch ", mounted on top of iOS 5. The rumors were true. And what about the wireless sync? Just open iTunes on your computer, go into the settings iPad and initiate the process. Everything else the system will do itself.
 
 

 
Seriously altered, and Game Center. As if in some Xbox Live, users iDevaysov can upload your photo, to score points Achievments, browse lists of foreign friends, find games for his taste, and install them, do not go into the App Store. Added support incremental game: As soon as your opponent will move, you will be notified. Slowly but surely, Game Center is transformed into a decent gaming network and useful application on the SpringBoard.
 
 


Communication platform for the exclusive owner of the iPhone and iPad, an abundance spread in the App Store, have lost all meaning with the advent of application iMessages. Outwardly, it looks almost the same way as SMS icon in the last firmware iOS. But in addition to communication via the cellular network operator, iMessages offers to exchange messages directly through the server, Apple. Naturally, absolutely free. The main thing to know the e-mail recipient, which is configured to the device.
 
 

 
We almost missed the opportunity to transfer video from iPad 2 on Apple TV without any wires to HD-resolution. No longer need any cables: your Springboard, and any applications appear instantly on your TV screen. And iPhone is blinking flash, when we miss calls or comes to a new post.
Changes in more detail, but they went beyond the official presentation. The most daring and attached to the accounts of the developers already had the opportunity to install the beta version iOS 5 on their mobile devices. We are pleased to include in their number.

Best solutions for real life problems

1. If your throat tickles, scratch your ear!
When you were 9, playing your armpit was a cool trick. Now, as an adult, you can still appreciate a good body-based feat, especially if it serves as a health remedy. Take that tickle in your throat; it's not worth gagging over. Here's a better way to scratch your itch: "When the nerves in the ear are stimulated, it creates a reflex in the throat that can cause a muscle spasm," says Scott Schaffer, M.D., president of an ear, nose, and throat specialty center in Gibbsboro, New Jersey. "This spasm relieves the tickle."


2. Experience supersonic hearing!
If you're stuck chatting up a mumbler at a cocktail party, lean in with your right ear. It's better than your left at following the rapid rhythms of speech, according to researchers at the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine. If, on the other hand, you're trying to identify that song playing softly in the elevator, turn your left ear toward the sound. The left ear is better at picking up music tones.


3. Overcome your most primal urge!
Need to pee? No bathroom nearby? Fantasize about Katy Perry. Thinking about sex preoccupies your brain, so you won't feel as much discomfort, says Larry Lipshultz, M.D., chief of male reproductive medicine at the Baylor College of Medicine. For best results, try Perry's "California Gurls" video.


4. Feel no pain!
German researchers have discovered that coughing during an injection can lessen the pain of the needle stick. According to Taras Usichenko, author of a study on the phenomenon, the trick causes a sudden, temporary rise in pressure in the chest and spinal canal, inhibiting the pain-conducting structures of the spinal cord.



5. Clear your stuffed nose!
Forget Sudafed. Here's an easier, quicker, and cheaper remedy to relieve sinus pressure is by alternately thrusting your tongue against the roof of your mouth, then pressing between your eyebrows with one finger. This causes the vomer bone, which runs through the nasal passages to the mouth, to rock back and forth, says Lisa DeStefano, D.O., an assistant professor at the Michigan State University college of osteopathic medicine. The motion loosens congestion; after 20 seconds, you'll feel your sinuses start to drain.


6. Fight fire without water! Acid Reflux
Worried those wings will repeat on you tonight? Try this preventive remedy: "Sleep on your left side," says Anthony A. Starpoli, M.D., a New York City gastroenterologist and assistant professor of medicine at New York Medical College. Studies have shown that patients who sleep on their left sides are less likely to suffer from acid reflux. The esophagus and stomach connect at an angle. When you sleep on your right, the stomach is higher than the esophagus, allowing food and stomach acid to slide up your throat. When you're on your left, the stomach is lower than the esophagus, so gravity's in your favor.


7. Cure your toothache without opening your mouth!
Just rub ice on the back of your hand, on the V-shaped webbed area between your thumb and index finger. A Canadian study found that this technique reduces toothache pain by as much as 50 percent compared with using no ice. The nerve pathways at the base of that V stimulate an area of the brain that blocks pain signals from the face and hands.


8. Make burns disappear!
When you accidentally singe your finger on the stove, clean the skin and apply light pressure with the finger pads of your unmarred hand. Ice will relieve your pain more quickly, Dr. DeStefano says, but since the natual method brings the burned skin back to a normal temperature, the skin is less likely to blister.



9. Stop the world from spinning!
One too many drinks left you dizzy? Ah, luckily there's a remedy. Put your hand on something stable. The part of your ear responsible for balance—the cupula—floats in a fluid of the same density as blood. "As alcohol dilutes blood in the cupula, the cupula becomes less dense and rises," says Dr. Schaffer. This confuses your brain. The tactile input from a stable object gives the brain a second opinion, and you feel more in balance. Because the nerves in the hand are so sensitive, this works better than the conventional foot-on-the-floor wisdom.



10. Unstitch your side!
If you're like most people, when you run, you exhale as your right foot hits the ground. This puts downward pressure on your liver (which lives on your right side), which then tugs at the diaphragm and creates a side stitch, according to The Doctors Book of Home Remedies for Men. The fix: Exhale as your left foot strikes the ground.

11. Stanch blood with a single finger!
Pinching your nose and leaning back is a great way to stop a nosebleed—if you don't mind choking on your own O positive. A more civil approach: Put some cotton on your upper gums—just behind that small dent below your nose—and press against it, hard. "Most bleeds come from the front of the septum, the cartilage wall that divides the nose," says Peter Desmarais, M.D., an ear, nose, and throat specialist at Entabeni Hospital, in Durban, South Africa. "Pressing here helps stop them."


12. Make your heart stand still!
Trying to quell first-date jitters? Blow on your thumb. The vagus nerve, which governs heart rate, can be controlled through breathing, says Ben Abo, an emergency medical-services specialist at the University of Pittsburgh. It'll get your heart rate back to normal.


13. Thaw your brain!
Too much Chipwich too fast will freeze the brains of lesser men. As for you, press your tongue flat against the roof of your mouth, covering as much as you can. "Since the nerves in the roof of your mouth get extremely cold, your body thinks your brain is freezing, too," says Abo. "In compensating, it overheats, causing an ice-cream headache." The more pressure you apply to the roof of your mouth, the faster your headache will subside.



14. Prevent near-sightedness!
Poor distance vision is rarely caused by genetics, says Anne Barber, O.D., an optometrist in Tacoma, Washington. "It's usually caused by near-point stress." In other words, staring at your computer screen for too long. So flex your way to 20/20 vision. Every few hours during the day, close your eyes, tense your body, take a deep breath, and, after a few seconds, release your breath and muscles at the same time. Tightening and releasing muscles such as the biceps and glutes can trick involuntary muscles—like the eyes—into relaxing as well.


15. Wake the dead!
If your hand falls asleep while you're driving or sitting in an odd position, rock your head from side to side. It'll painlessly banish your pins and needles in less than a minute, says Dr. DeStefano. A tingly hand or arm is often the result of compression in the bundle of nerves in your neck; loosening your neck muscles releases the pressure. Compressed nerves lower in the body govern the feet, so don't let your sleeping dogs lie. Stand up and walk around.


16. Impress your friends!
Next time you're at a party, try this trick: Have a person hold one arm straight out to the side, palm down, and instruct him to maintain this position. Then place two fingers on his wrist and push down. He'll resist. Now have him put one foot on a surface that's a half inch higher (a few magazines) and repeat. This time his arm will cave like the French. By misaligning his hips, you've offset his spine, says Rachel Cosgrove, C.S.C.S., co-owner of Results Fitness, in Santa Clarita, California. Your brain senses that the spine is vulnerable, so it shuts down the body's ability to resist.


17. Breathe underwater!
If you're dying to retrieve that quarter from the bottom of the pool, take several short breaths first—essentially, hyperventilate. When you're underwater, it's not a lack of oxygen that makes you desperate for a breath; it's the buildup of carbon dioxide, which makes your blood acidic, which signals your brain that somethin' ain't right. "When you hyperventilate, the influx of oxygen lowers blood acidity," says Jonathan Armbruster, Ph.D., an associate professor of biology at Auburn University. "This tricks your brain into thinking it has more oxygen." It'll buy you up to 10 seconds.



18. Read minds!
Your own! "If you're giving a speech the next day, review it before falling asleep," says Candi Heimgartner, an instructor of biological sciences at the University of Idaho. Since most memory consolidation happens during sleep, anything you read right before bed is more likely to be encoded as long-term memory.
