“No longer will the ‘dot com’ and other TLDs be pronounced as such. It’s time to fix a long-standing issue that has been bugging us since at least 1993″, said Lisa Pozowski of IANA.

“The new pronunciation will require the use of “full stop” before the TLD. Millions of people were told the wrong way and it’s so important to fix this”, she added.

To understand it simply, domains will have to be described as full stop coms, full stop nets etc.

The new rule took effect on November 1st. Free Hosting full stop ph will implement the new changes immediately.

If you are on a shared hosting environment and you have a high-traffic website, then that means you are using too much resources. Thus, making your site go down. Shared hosting is meant for low-traffic websites.

Do some checking and find out whether you are using too much resources based on your plan and their service terms. If in fact you are, even if you jump ship to other web hosts most likely your site will go down again. If you are not, then your host has a problem.

If you are using too much resources, the better solution to your problem is to move your site to a VPS. Mind you, there are two paths to choose when using VPS. Unmanaged and Managed VPS services.

Unmanaged VPS means your provider will deploy a VPS for you, setup according to specifications, and then leave the management to you. To put it simply, you take care everything software related problems, they take care of all hardware problems. Managed VPS means your provider will deploy a VPS for you, setup according to specifications, and then manage your VPS according to the level of management you are subscribed to.

That’s one of the painful truth when running a high-traffic website. You need to spend more on hosting.

Acquiring Motorola Mobility, which holds approximately 14,600 granted patents and 6,700 pending patent applications, worldwide, as of January 2011 would mean Google will have enough patent power to battle against Apple and Microsoft to defend its Android products and its Eco-system.

Full press release:

Google to Acquire Motorola Mobility

Combination will Supercharge Android, Enhance Competition, and Offer Wonderful User Experiences

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. & LIBERTYVILLE, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Motorola Mobility Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: MMI) today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Google will acquire Motorola Mobility for $40.00 per share in cash, or a total of about $12.5 billion, a premium of 63% to the closing price of Motorola Mobility shares on Friday, August 12, 2011. The transaction was unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies.

“Motorola Mobility’s total commitment to Android has created a natural fit for our two companies. Together, we will create amazing user experiences that supercharge the entire Android ecosystem for the benefit of consumers, partners and developers. I look forward to welcoming Motorolans to our family of Googlers.”

The acquisition of Motorola Mobility, a dedicated Android partner, will enable Google to supercharge the Android ecosystem and will enhance competition in mobile computing. Motorola Mobility will remain a licensee of Android and Android will remain open. Google will run Motorola Mobility as a separate business.

Larry Page, CEO of Google, said, “Motorola Mobility’s total commitment to Android has created a natural fit for our two companies. Together, we will create amazing user experiences that supercharge the entire Android ecosystem for the benefit of consumers, partners and developers. I look forward to welcoming Motorolans to our family of Googlers.”

Sanjay Jha, CEO of Motorola Mobility, said, “This transaction offers significant value for Motorola Mobility’s stockholders and provides compelling new opportunities for our employees, customers, and partners around the world. We have shared a productive partnership with Google to advance the Android platform, and now through this combination we will be able to do even more to innovate and deliver outstanding mobility solutions across our mobile devices and home businesses.”

Andy Rubin, Senior Vice President of Mobile at Google, said, “We expect that this combination will enable us to break new ground for the Android ecosystem. However, our vision for Android is unchanged and Google remains firmly committed to Android as an open platform and a vibrant open source community. We will continue to work with all of our valued Android partners to develop and distribute innovative Android-powered devices.”

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals in the US, the European Union and other jurisdictions, and the approval of Motorola Mobility’s stockholders. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2011 or early 2012.

Will Microsoft be forced to buy Nokia or RIM?

I installed it already and here’s my hand-on review on RockMelt.

Upon clicking the setup program I found myself connecting to FaceBook. This make me ask, is this a browser for sharing or a FaceBook browser?

After installation, RockMelt asked me to connect to my FaceBook account. I did. But. How about those who do not want this browser just for FaceBook? There’s Twitter and other social networking sites. I connected by browser to my Twitter account, too.

What is RockMelt? Really. Is it a social web browser as it claims to be?

Upon connecting, I was asked what permissions would I like to give to RockMelt to have access to.

What immediately shows up is a welcome message at the center of the browser. There are four menus there: friends, share, search, and news. At the center of it all is a globe.

I hovered on the friends menu and arrows showed up pointing to the left part of the browser, showing my friends who are currently logged-in in FaceBook.

When I hovered on the share menu, two arrows showed, pointing to the upper left part and to the upper part of the browser. These are share buttons.

I hovered on the search menu and an arrow showed up pointing to the search field at the upper right portion of the browser.

And when I hovered on the news menu, an arrow showed and it points to the right side of the browser showing all apps and feeds you’re connected with. FaceBook and Twitter feeds icons are displayed by default?

I was accustomed to using FireFox and Internet Explorer as web browsers. I was never a Chrome or a Safari fan. Well, to be honest, I use Safari on my mobile phone. I see it as the better browser for mobile phones.

FireFox and Internet Explorer has almost all buttons placed on identical location.

In using RockMelt, I found myself facing a web browser with no home, stop, and reload button. Almost all buttons are designed for social activities.

On the bottom left part of the browser is the “show all friends and pick favorites” button. If you click on it, it will show a tabbed version of your online friends, your favorites, and all of your FaceBook friends.

At the bottom of the menus at the right part of the browser is the “add feeds” button. If you click on it, it will show you all apps and feeds RockMelt is connected and let’s you add feeds there.

Can’t seem to find your way on this new social browser? Don’t worry. RockMelt has this quick guide “tutorial” for you.

RockMelt Experience. This is a good browser for those who often check their social networking accounts. It’s fast and easily navigable. I find it awkward that there’s no home, stop, and reload buttons. There are shortcut keys but for the not-so-savvy people, they might have a hard time.

Overall, it’s a OK web browser with a promising future. But. I’ll stick with FireFox for now.

RockMelt browser - browser for sharing

Accoring to TechCrunch, RockMelt is built first and foremost for sharing. You browse with your friends (the first thing you do is log into Facebook and your favorite friends and their latest status updates are always available along the left rail). And there is a big “Share” button up top, which lets you share any webpage, along with images and a preview, on Facebook. You could call it a Facebook browser, but it really is more than that.

TechCrunch then asked Andreessen if he thinks RockMelt is a harbinger of the end of the webpage. Here’s what he said:

The webpage stays primary for decades to come. It is a universal canvas for any application or service. I think you want to retain that, but you want to enhance it. That is why we keep the page front and center but draw in these things people care about: friends, feeds, updates, search results.

RockMelt invite at TechCrunch’s post was gone in minutes. Have you downloaded RockMelt yet?

An example of friendship page (image from facebook blog)

Basically, the page is a place where all things between pairs of Facebook friends were brought together. It tells the story of the first Wall post to one another or sharing the funny photo from a night out. It reflects the pair’s friendship.

Where is Friendship page?

To view the friendship page, you can see it from links under relevant Wall posts, under relationship stories, and under the main photo on a friend’s profile page.
