Adobe gets into Ads with Yahoo, PDF style

Due Credit: TechRepublic, Adobe

The idea to put ads into PDF files strikes you as a rock in an age when every inch of space is up for grabbing eyeballs. Well, this time its Adobe and Yahoo who are getting into putting ads into PDFs. The new service is more beneficial to sites that publish regular newsletters. Additional sources of revenue.

The move also marks Adobe's entry into the Ad space. Now, does that mean the days of clean neat PDFs are over for ever?

Technology to print chips from inkjet printers

Due Credit: TechRepublic, Emerson and Cuming

Sunnyvale based start-up Kovio has developed technology that helps print chips using commercial grade inkjet printers. The technology to print electronics in this way by itself is not new, but Kovio's USP is that the technology is based on inorganic materials unlike organic polymers.

The real implication of this tech is that it makes possible manufacturing RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) standard devices on a mass scale at down to earth costs. The age of electronic tracking with its innumerable ramifications is not very far. Seamless payment systems, biological measurements there is an explosion waiting to happen as far as RFID is concerned.

Publishers want control over content indexed in search engine

Due Credit: TechRepublic, Google

The Automated Content Access Protocol (ACAP) has been confirmed and the major backers of it, i.e. major publishing agencies want most search engines to acknowledge the new rules they want in the indexing game. But search engines are hardly willing to go along. Firstly, the de-facto rules of indexing itself are only an unofficial standard at best (robot.txt)

Robot.txt is a file that web administrators maintain on their website to convey the message to web crawlers or indexers as to what pages are available to be indexed. The ACAP adds more commands to the existing Robot.txt as in defining the time period for which the content must be valid on the index of a search engine

Malware attacks search terms on search engines

Today, malware authors organized and executed perhaps one of the largest online manipulation attacks that resulted in bogus and malicious links flooding the top results of major search engines. While the term flooding may sound exaggerated, the fact that malware writers were able to pull of a attack like this is a serious concern for any netizen. By means of links in comments, blogs and deliberately forging innumerable web pages to contain links with keywords, the hackers were able to get there results ranked high on Google, Yahoo and Microsoft Live Search

Google into energy, Flaw in Lotus and Ban on Wikipedia

Due Credit: TechRepublic

To make regular posts to these pages I deduced that it would be far better if I recapitulated the content I found interesting and contributed to on the web. Original ideas rule but don't come to mind every time one has the luxury of a keyboard.

3D Photography may be reality in immediate future

Due Credit: Adobe, Audioblog,

Photography is amazing. It is as close to capturing time as man has ever been. Since videos are a series of still photos run by in a quick sequence, it all boils down to imaging. Recent technology demonstrations from Adobe will take this concept of time capturing to another height.

When you take a photograph, you are essentially capturing a moment in time. But the issue with that mode of capture is that your position or point of view at that moment gets fixed. This essentially implies that you are limited to only the possibilities that can be perceived from your view, which needless to say does not necessarily capture every element of that moment that you have tried to freeze frame
