5 reasons why HTML5 will be the Next Big Thing in mobile space HTML 5, the next revision of the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), the standard programming language for describing the contents and appearance of Web pages, is a new web technology that is quickly changing the face of the mobile market. The new technology is getting due attention from the developers and businesses due to the fact that it supports cross-platform application development, offers portability, scalable applications for browsers, and is more cost-effective and less labor-intensive than building native apps for Android, iOS and Windows Phone. More importantly, HTML5 offers a good alternative to the very idea of an App Store in its current form. It allows developers and publishers to avoid paying Apple and Google 30 per cent commission for selling apps through their app stores – thus bringing a fundamental shift about how we load new software onto our mobile devices. Apple co-founder Steve Jobs was among the first few who said that non-proprietary open standards such as HTML5 will rule the mobile platform – enabling modern browsers to do the same functions as Flash. As you already know, Flash was never implemented on the iOS platform. In fact, Jobs was right, as in an abrupt U-turn in its mobile software strategy, Adobe had announced to cease developing its Flash Player plug-in for mobile browsers. Adobe even acknowledged HTML5 as the “best solution for creating and deploying content in the browser across mobile platforms”. “HTML5 is now universally supported on major mobile devices, in some cases exclusively. We are excited about this, and will continue our work with key players in the HTML community, including Google, Apple, Microsoft and RIM, to drive HTML5 innovation they can use to advance their mobile browsers,” felt Adobe VP Danny Winokur. No doubt HTML5 is one of the hottest technologies right now in the mobile space given that it even provides you the capability to re-package Web apps as native apps on the various mobile platforms. In this blogpost, we are talking about five top reasons that show that HTML5 has got great potential. 1. It’s the future: Analysts expect 2012 to be the year of HTML5 with a growing list of companies starting to adopt and develop in HTML5. Contemporary Analysis, on behalf of appendTo, a JavaScript and HTML5 consulting company, recently conducted an online survey in which it found out that 84 per cent of developers are planning to implement HTML 5 in projects within the next six months. One such recent example is Microsoft putting is energies into HTML5 in Windows 8. Microsoft has followed in Apple’s footsteps and has made the coming “Metro” version of Windows 8 destined for deployment in smartphones and media tablets with a version of Internet Explorer 10 that will no longer feature browser plug-ins, thus relying mostly on HTML5. Dean Hachamovitch, the head of Microsoft’s Windows Internet Explorer team, said, the adoption of HTML5 is to provide consumers most out of touch-first browsing. Running a plug- in-free Metro version of IE10 will further improve security, reliability and privacy for consumers. To read rest of the article, please visit: http://blog.kiwitech.com/ .

Internet Explorer 9 previewed 17 March 2010, by Lin Edwards translation necessary. This will improve performance because there is a massive difference in speed between compiled and interpreted code. This, and the speed gain by using the GPU, was demonstrated at the conference with a display of increasing numbers of spinning three-dimensional icons, which the IE9 preview could handle far better than any other browser. Since less of the first core of CPU is being used, the display is much faster, and will also allow developers to create a new class of Web applications. Another change in the new browser is an emphasis on browser interoperability, so that programs (PhysOrg.com) -- Microsoft has released the written for IE9 should run properly on other preview version of Internet Explorer 9, which has browsers as well.

WSJ 2010. Microsoft Quashed Effort to Boost Online Privacy.Pdf
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703467304575383530439838568.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_LEADSecondNewsCollection#pr... WHAT THEY KNOW AUGUST 2, 2010 Microsoft Quashed Effort to Boost Online Privacy By NICK WINGFIELD The online habits of most people who use the world's dominant Web browser are an open book to advertisers. That wasn't the plan at first. In early 2008, Microsoft Corp.'s product planners for the Internet Explorer 8.0 browser intended to give users a simple, effective way to avoid being tracked online. They wanted to design the software to automatically thwart common tracking tools, unless a user deliberately switched to settings affording less privacy. That triggered heated debate inside Microsoft. As the leading maker of Web browsers, the gateway software to the Internet, Microsoft must balance conflicting interests: helping people surf the Web with its browser to keep their mouse clicks private, and helping advertisers who want to see those clicks. In the end, the product planners lost a key part of the debate. The winners: executives who argued that giving automatic privacy to consumers would make it tougher for Microsoft to profit from selling online ads. Microsoft built its browser so that users must deliberately turn on privacy settings every time they start up the software. Microsoft's original privacy plans for the new Explorer were "industry-leading" and technically superior to privacy features in earlier browsers, says Simon Davies, a privacy-rights advocate in the U.K. whom Microsoft consulted while forming its browser privacy plans. Most users of the final product aren't even aware its privacy settings are available, he says.

Distributed Geo-Services Based on Wireless GIS - a Case Study for Post-Quake Rescue Information System
TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITÄT MÜNCHEN Lehrstuhl für Kartographie Distributed geo-services based on Wireless GIS - a case study for post-quake rescue information system Yimei Liu Vollständiger Abdruck der von der Fakultät für Bauingenieur-und Vermessungswesen der Technischen Universität München zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktor-Ingenieurs (Dr.-Ing.) genehmigten Dissertation. Vorsitzender: Univ. -Prof. Dr.-Ing. Thomas Wunderlich Prüfer der Dissertation: 1. Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Liqiu Meng 2. Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Matthäus Schilcher Die Dissertation wurde am 06.06.2011 bei der Technischen Universität München eingereicht und durch die Fakultät für Bauingenieur-und Vermessungswesen am 21.07.2011 angenommen. 2 Abstract With the continuous evolution and extension of wireless communication technology, geographic information system has been developed from desktop to mobile, from wired to wireless environment. The research and development of wireless GIS have made capture, query, and transmission of geo-data more simple, open and standardized. The distributed geo-services based on web and/or wireless web supported by a large number of middleware vendors have particularly rich research contents and wide applications. Many open source GIS software programs have emerged in the recent decade and benefited countless users worldwide. The open source means geographic information can be exchanged and applied without any commercial purpose. It has become a development trend in Wireless GIS application. A useful application of Wireless GIS is the handling of natural disasters such as earthquakes. Earthquakes frequently strike us, particularly in the current period of crustal activity. With the changing environment, other natural disasters related to climate, such as floods and hurricanes are also continuously threatening people’s lives and properties.

Microsoft Unveils New Privacy Feature for IE 7 December 2010, by JORDAN ROBERTSON , AP Technology Writer
Microsoft unveils new privacy feature for IE 7 December 2010, By JORDAN ROBERTSON , AP Technology Writer Requiring users to sort out which sites are good and bad puts the onus on the wrong people, said Anup Ghosh, founder and chief scientist of Invincea, which makes software that works with Internet Explorer to improve security. "With this kind of 'do not track' list, the industry is not held accountable for not tracking. It's the user that's responsible. They kind of got it backward," he said. "Users aren't equipped to make these kinds of decisions, nor do they want to."

A Systematic Approach to Uncover GUI Logic Flaws for Web Security
A Systematic Approach to Uncover GUI Logic Flaws for Web Security Shuo Chen Jose Meseguer Ralf Sasse Helen Wang Yi-Min Wang December 13, 2006 Technical Report MSR-TR-2006-182 Microsoft Research Microsoft Corporation One Microsoft Way Redmond, WA 98052 -0- A Systematic Approach to Uncover GUI Logic Flaws for Web Security Shuo Chen †, José Meseguer ‡, Ralf Sasse † ‡, Helen J. Wang †, Yi-Min Wang † † Microsoft Research ‡ University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign {shuochen,helenw,ymwang}@microsoft.com {meseguer,rsasse}@cs.uiuc.edu Abstract To achieve end-to-end security, traditional machine-to-machine security measures are insufficient if the integrity of the human-computer interface is compromised. GUI logic flaws are a category of software vulnerabilities that result from logic bugs in GUI design/implementation. Visual spoofing attacks that exploit these flaws can lure even security-conscious users to perform unintended actions. The focus of this paper is to formulate the problem of GUI logic flaw and to develop a methodology for uncovering them in software implementations. Specifically, based on an in-depth study of key subsets of Internet Explorer (IE) browser source code, we have developed a formal model for the browser GUI logic and have applied formal reasoning to uncover new spoofing scenarios, including nine for status bar spoofing and four for address bar spoofing. The IE development team has confirmed all these scenarios and has fixed most of them in their latest build. Through this work, we demonstrate that a crucial subset of the visual spoofing vulnerabilities originate from GUI logic flaws, which have a well-defined mathematical meaning allowing a systematic analysis.
