How and Why Do I Clear a Web Browser's Cache? When a Web
How and Why Do I Clear a Web Browser’s Cache? When a web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Chrome, or Safari) is used to visit a website, the browser “caches” (stores) information regarding the site (e.g. items or pages viewed, listened to, or purchased), so the browser doesn’t have to retrieve the information from the original location every time the same page or file is accessed. This helps speed a web search. IMPORTANT TIP: It is important to “clear the cache” and, sometimes, a web browser’s “history” in order to avoid error messages when accessing sites or loading software. Now that many applications, such as Datatel UIWeb, WebAdvisor, and Live 25, used here at WSU are web-based, this has become an occasional issue. Web browsers usually are set to allow only a specific amount of storage for the cached “temporary Internet files”. If the specified limit is reached, error messages might prevent a user from accessing a desired site or web-based application. While visiting a web site, a “cookie” is created by the browser and stored on a user’s computer. Cookies store information about the user, such as login information for the site, selected shopping items, and provides the information to the website visited. Each visited web address is stored in the web browser’s “history”. The user can return to a site from the browser’s history list (log) or create a bookmark to easily return to a site. Browsers usually clear a computer’s cache and history, periodically, but it is good idea to clear cache, cookies, and history, manually when having a problem with a browser or when installing certain types of computer software if you don’t already do this procedure on a routine basis.

Despite unease over its implications for the character (and quality) of knowledge, Wikipedia has brought us closer than ever to a realization of the centuries-old Author Bio & Research Blog pursuit of a universal encyclopedia. Good Faith Collaboration: The Culture of Wikipedia is a rich ethnographic portrayal of Wikipedia's historical roots, collaborative culture, and much debated legacy. Foreword Preface to the Web Edition Praise for Good Faith Collaboration Preface Extended Table of Contents "Reagle offers a compelling case that Wikipedia's most fascinating and unprecedented aspect isn't the encyclopedia itself — rather, it's the collaborative culture that underpins it: brawling, self-reflexive, funny, serious, and full-tilt committed to the 1.

Maxthon Has Announced the Release of Maxthon Cloud Browser (Preview
December 12, 2012 Maxthon has announced the release of Maxthon Cloud Browser (preview), which it says is designed to provide users with a seamless and unified user experience across multiple devices and platforms. Maxthon Cloud Browser works on Windows, OS X, iOS and Android (an iPad version is promised to be coming soon), and goes beyond simply syncing bookmarks to enable users to access and push web content such as images, videos and text to and from their other devices. I downloaded the OS X version on Monday and have been giving it a good workout. Essentially, it’s mostly Maxthon 3, which I already liked a lot on the Mac, although I’ve been less enthralled by the iPad version, which shares the disadvantage common to other third-party iOS browsers in that Apple obliges developers to use its proprietary browser engine, with the result in most instances being slower performance than with Apple’s system-integrated Safari browser, and no browser other than Safari can be designated default browser in the iOS. Booooooo. However, Maxthon Cloud Browser for OS X (effectively Maxthon 4) is satisfyingly speedy, and I’ve thus far found it completely stable, even though it’s a preview. “This rollout of Maxthon Cloud Browser marks a significant step for Maxthon in our development of a cloud-powered browser that integrates full-featured cloud services,” said Jeff Chen, CEO of Maxthon. “It is our mission and the focus of our innovation in this post-PC era when people are using multiple devices to access information, to lead the browser industry in giving users the ability to move effortlessly between their devices without any interruption in their browsing experience.

Public Wikis: Sharing Knowledge Over the Internet
Technical Communication Wiki : Chapter 2 This page last changed on Apr 15, 2009 by kjp15. Public Wikis: Sharing Knowledge over the Internet What is a public wiki? A public wiki refers to a wiki that everyone can edit, that is, it is open to the general public on the Internet with or without a free login. Anyone is welcome to add information to the wiki, but contributors are asked to stay within the subject area, policies, and standards of the particular wiki. Content that does not relate to the subject or is not of good quality can and will be deleted by other users. Also, if a contributor makes a mistake or a typo, other users will eventually correct the error. Open collaboration by anyone means that multiple articles can be written very fast simultaneously. And, while there may be some vandalism or edit wars, quality of the articles will generally improve over time after many editors have contributed. The biggest public wiki in the world, with over 75,000 contributors, is Wikipedia, "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit" [1]. Wikipedia has over 2.8 million articles in the English version, which includes over 16 million wiki pages, and is one of the top ten most popular websites in the United States [2]. There are versions of Wikipedia in ten different languages, and articles in more than 260 languages. Wikipedia is operated by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation [3] which pays a small group of employees and depends mainly on donations. There are also over 1,500 volunteer administrators with special powers to keep an eye on editors and make sure they conform to Wikipedia's guidelines and policies.

Appendix. Optimizing Software and Operating Systems to Display Bgn/Pcgn-Approved Geographical Names
APPENDIX. OPTIMIZING SOFTWARE AND OPERATING SYSTEMS TO DISPLAY BGN/PCGN-APPROVED GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES (Note: The following instructions are taken from the documentation of the Unicode Consortium (www.unicode.org), and are reproduced here for information purposes only, in support of the Unicode standard.) If you are unable to read some Unicode characters in your browser, it may be because your system is not properly configured. Here are some basic instructions for doing that. There are two basic steps: • Install fonts that cover the characters you need • Configure your browser to use them. FONTS Ideally, you will install fonts that are tuned for the scripts that you need, then also install a full Unicode font as a backup. The following describes how to get fonts for different platforms: you can also find other fonts at: www.unicode.org/onlinedat/resources.html. WINDOWS For Windows XP, getting additional languages installed is as follows: Start > Settings > Control Panel> Regional Options and Language Options. In the Languages tab, check the Supplemental language support option(s) you want. Setting both options will install all optional fonts. This adds fonts as well as system support for these languages. For Windows 2000, getting additional languages installed is as follows: Start > Settings > Control Panel> Regional Options. In the General tab, set all the languages you may want to display, the more you set, the more you will be able to pro- cess multilingual data through all your applications, including your browser. This adds fonts as well as system sup- port for these languages. Full fonts: If you have Microsoft Office 2000 and newer versions, you can get the Arial Unicode MS font, which is the most com- plete.

Design Issues for World Wide Web Navigation Visualisation Tools
Design Issues for World Wide Web Navigation Visualisation Tools Andy Cockburny Steve Jonesyx Department of Computer Science Department of Computer Science University of Canterbury University of Waikato Christchurch, New Zealand Hamilton, New Zealand [email protected] [email protected] +64 3 364 2987 ext 7768 +64 7 838 4490 Abstract The World Wide Web (WWW) is a successful hypermedia information space used by millions of people, yet it suffers from many deficiencies and problems in support for navigation around its vast information space. In this paper we identify the origins of these navigation problems, namely WWW browser design, WWW page design, and WWW page description languages. Regardless of their origins, these problems are eventually represented to the user at the browser’s user interface. To help overcome these problems, many tools are being developed which allow users to visualise WWW subspaces. We identify five key issues in the design and functionality of these visualisation systems: characteristics of the visual representation, the scope of the subspace representation, the mechanisms for generating the visualisation, the degree of browser independence, and the navigation support facilities. We provide a critical review of the diverse range of WWW visualisation tools with respect to these issues. Keywords World Wide Web; hypermedia navigation; design issues; visualisation. 1 Introduction With millions of users searching, browsing, and surfing the WWW, economies of scale are clearly relevant. Even a small inefficiency in user navigation within the WWW will result in enormous productivity losses if it is common to a fraction of WWW users. Our previous research has noted that users commonly have incorrect mental-models of even the most fundamental methods of WWW navigation, and has suggested interface mechanisms to ease the problems [CJ96].
