Facebook gives rise to new words
Ananda Mitra, professor and chair of the Department of Communication, has now revealed how technology influences language and social interaction. “We have to remember that the most important technology of communication is indeed language, and it is through the manipulation of the symbols that make up the language of a culture that we define the culture. Thus all elements of a cultural system influence the fundamental technology of language,” Mitra said…Click on for more…….

The Importance of Branding
Posted by: ancyta on: November 12, 2009
Branding is perhaps the most important facet of any business–beyond product, distribution, pricing, or location. A company’s brand is its definition in the world, the name that identifies it to itself and the marketplace.

Firefox faces new challenges

Firefox faces new challenges
Five years ago, Mozilla made it clear that the browser wars weren’t over after all.
In the 1990s, Netscape had lost its dominance in the browser market to Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, and the Netscape-spawned open-source project called Mozilla had sunk into obscurity. Even a federal antitrust suit accusing Microsoft of anticompetitive practices with its browser and Windows was not enough to turn the tide.
But on November 9, 2004, Firefox 1.0 emerged to fight back again.
The project, originally named Phoenix to symbolize rebirth from Netscape’s ashes, has now clawed its way back to account for nearly a quarter of the browser usage today. Microsoft may not be on the run, but it’s on the defensive, gradually building its browser development effort back up into fighting form…Click on for more

Jay Sean
Born in Harlesden, London, United Kingdom, Jay Sean attended a private boy’s school, The Latymer Upper School in Hammersmith, and won himself a place at Barts and The London, Queen Mary’s School of Medicine and Dentistry to train as a doctor. After two years Jay Sean secured a one million pounds record deal and dropped out to pursue his musical career.

Most recently, the BBC has lauded the star as one of the ‘most successful male UK urban artists in chart history.’ Jay Sean’s U.S. debut album, All or Nothing, will hit stores and digital/mobile destinations on November 24th..Click on to read the success story of Jay Sean.
