“WEB OS”
A WEBOS can be taken as “A window manager running on
the client, where apps are located in these windows as iframes. This
is not really an operating system, rather a window manager, where
apps are in draggable layers/windows as a part of the webpage,
running JavaScripts supported by a JavaScript library and possibly
by the server with a public API for that purpose. This API would have
to have some limitations/restrictions or it would be plain dangerous
security wise.

“These are the new types of operating system where
everything resides on a web browser. With WEBOS, you can have

the XMLHttpRequest object for asynchronous

JavaScript to bring these technologies together

Ajax (asynchronous JavaScript and XML), or AJAX, is a
group of interrelated web development techniques used for
creating interactive web applications or rich Internet
applications. With Ajax, web applications can retrieve data
from the server asynchronously in the background without
interfering with the display and behavior of the existing
page. Data is retrieved using the XMLHttpRequest object or
through the use of Remote Scripting in browsers that do not
support it. Despite the name, the use of JavaScript, XML, or
asynchrony is not required

Reverse Ajax refers to an Ajax design pattern
that uses long-lived HTTP connections to

web server and a browser. Basically it is a
way of sending data from client to server and
a mechanism for pushing server data back to

Why PC Crashes?

Fatal error: the system has become unstable or is busy," it says.
"Enter to return to Windows or press Control-Alt-Delete to
restart your computer. If you do this you will lose any unsaved
information in all open applications." You have just been
struck by the Blue Screen of Death. Anyone who uses Mcft
Windows will be familiar with this. What can you do? More
importantly, how can you prevent it happening?

1 Hardware conflict

The number one reason why Windows crashes is hardware conflict. Each hardware device
communicates to other devices through an interrupt request channel (IRQ). These are
supposed to be unique for each device. For example, a printer usually connects internally
on IRQ 7. The keyboard usually uses IRQ 1 and the floppy disk drive IRQ 6. Each device
will try to hog a single IRQ for itself. If there are a lot of devices, or if they are not
installed properly, two of them may end up sharing the same IRQ number. When the user
tries to use both devices at the same time, a crash can happen. The way to check if your
computer has a hardware conflict is through the following route:

* Start-Settings-Control Panel-System-Device Manager.

Often if a device has a problem a yellow '!' appears next to its description in the Device
Manager. Highlight Computer (in the Device Manager) and press Properties to see the IRQ
numbers used by your computer. If the IRQ number appears twice, two devices may be
using it. Sometimes a device might share an IRQ with something described as 'IRQ holder
for PCI steering'. This can be ignored. The best way to fix this problem is to remove the
problem device and reinstall it. Sometimes you may have to find more recent drivers on the
internet to make the device function properly. A good resource is www.driverguide.com. If
the device is a soundcard, or a modem, it can often be fixed by moving it to a different slot
on the motherboard (be careful about opening your computer, as you may void the
warranty). When working inside a computer you should switch it off, unplug the mains lead
and touch an unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity. To be fair to Mcft,
the problem with IRQ numbers is not of its making. It is a legacy problem going back to
the first PC designs using the IBM 8086 chip. Initially there were only eight IRQs. Today
there are 16 IRQs in a PC. It is easy to run out of them. There are plans to increase the
number of IRQs in future designs.

Enable and Disable Windows Firewall Quickly using Command-line

When testing network connectivity or when performing other troubleshooting tasks, you may
need to turn off the Windows Firewall temporarily. To quickly disable or enable the Windows
Firewall, you may use the Netsh.exe command-line in Windows XP and Windows Vista.

Enabling Windows Firewall

Click Start, Run and type:.

Netsh firewall set opmode enable

Disabling Windows Firewall

Click Start, Run and type:

Netsh firewall set opmode disable

Windows Firewall status can be verified using
Windows Security Center or the Windows
Firewall applet.

Note: In Windows Vista you need to run the
above commands from an elevated Command
Prompt. To open an elevated Command
Prompt, click Start, click All Programs, click
Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

You may create desktop two shortcuts to enable and disable the Windows Firewall. To run the
commands as administrator, right-click on the shortcut and choose Run as administrator. Or
right-click the shortcut properties, click Advanced and tick the Run as administrator checkbox
and click OK. Double-clicking the shortcut run the Netsh… command elevated, after you click
the Continue button in the UAC confirmation dialog.

Customize the shortcut icons by picking an appropriate icon from Shell32.dll, Imageres.dll or
from xpsp2res.dll (for Windows XP) for easy identification.

Editor’s Note: Although the netsh firewall command works fine in Windows XP, Windows
Vista and Windows Server 2008 Operating Systems, Microsoft recommends that you use the
netsh advfirewall firewall command in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.
