The hot debate topic in the IT world is that which one is better- Ajax or Silverlight? To your information let me tell you that both are Microsoft applications that help in the improvement of Rich Internet Applications or RIA.
Both have their own set of advantages and disadvantages. Ajax is very easy to learn and use whereas the installation only of Silverlight is quite tough. Ajax helps in great server side controls but fails in providing good client side server controls. So Ajax is good only when you are working with the server side control extensions, hence this limits the Ajax.
Now you see that Silverlight gives you great facilities in the control toolkit part and binds all the data so well that it encourages the development of third applications too. Many commonly used modern day browsers like safari, chrome and Firefox support it. All over the performance of Silverlight is considered much better.

In the year 2004, W3C had developed HTML, when the developers of the HTML working group became frustrated with the direction of their HTML project. This working group felt that W3C is not paying enough attention to the real-world developmental needs of coding and language. They felt that the focus towards XML and XHTML was a bit too much. So they went ahead to form a new group called the WHATWG, abbreviated for Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group.
This group started to create new specifications of HTML – HTML 5. It is a new version of the previous HTML 4.01 and HTML 1.0 version, focusing on the requirements of web application developers. The developers addressed the issues found in the current specification. This technology has revolutionized the internet space. Websites like You Tube have taken up HTML 5 and the quality and performance has been enhanced massively. There is a long way to go still!

Since a long a time ago, users had to rely on their operating system to print. This usually requires them to install a driver for the printer to be used. This is soon to be a thing of the past since Google has designed a new service to deal with it. Though it is in its early stages of development, Google Cloud print is designed to enable computer users to print any application either web, desktop or mobile on any printer without any problem.
With Google cloud print users will no longer rely on their local Operating system and drivers to print. The will use the application to submit and manage print jobs. The application then sends the print job containing the options selected by the user to the appropriate printer. The advantage of this is that it accepts custom print options as well as the simple print dialog. It can also be available for third part users once the APIs are available.

E-mails are personal information that should not be accessed by people. There are people who still get hold of other people’s mails and start going through them.
One of the ways in which a person can use to track their emails is the “read receipt”. This one is the most commonly used method in which a confirmation message is sent to the recipient who then can choose to say whether they received the message or not. This is however not substantial because a person may choose not to answer.
The other email tracking system requires a person to have a server. This system works for most e-mail systems. When a person sends a message to any other person, it is indicated on the server inclusive of date and time. It is however good to have a separate page to store this information and leave it not tampered with. The good thing about this system is the fact that a recipient of a particular message will not know that they are being tracked.

Network Attached Storage (NAS) describes the complete storage system designed for traditional data network attachment. The NAS servers mainly support CIFS (Common-Internet-File-System) and NFS (Network-File-System).
NAS unit is a self contained computer in a network with the task of offering file based data storage services to other network devices where the storage devices can be reached over the computer network rather than through a direct computer.
NAS is the hard disk storage system which includes the RAID configuration which has got its own LAN IP address and hence not attached to department computers and forwarding the applications to network workstation users. NAS consists of software for file locations configurations and mappings to network attached devices.
The devices are accessed directly because they have IP addresses and do not compete for resources. Also with different servers containing different operating systems, there is the centralization of backup, management and storage which provides a seamless flow of resources through a network.
