Firefox surpasses IE on Europe

firefox1 Firefox surpasses IE on Europe

Firefox, Mozilla browser, surpassed Microsoft’s Internet Explorer browser as a leader in Europe.

This is the first time that Microsoft’s browser loses the first place as the European market leader, according to a measurement made by the company StatCounter statistics.

In December, the open source browser Firefox held 38.1% of the European market, while Internet Explorer was 37.5%. Google Chrome already had 14.6% market share (growth compared to the 5.1% held in the same period last year). Apparently, this occurs because Chrome is stealing slices [market] of Internet Explorer, while Firefox is sticking to its existing share.

To avoid paying a fine millionaire, Microsoft was forced to open by the European executive for European consumers to switch between multiple browsers, rather than be compelled to use Internet Explorer.

The decision ended an antitrust case between the company and the European bloc in December 2009. Since early March, Microsoft gives Europeans the option to choose among 12 sailors in more than 100 million new and old PCs that use Windows operating system.

Overall, Internet Explorer has 46.9% market share in December, while Firefox appears 30.8% and Google with 14.9% figure, according to StatCounter.

Untitled 116 Honeycomb is not coming so soon

Android viagra with single processor core, as the Galaxy Tab, Samsung will not have the minimum requirements for the Honeycomb, Google’s operating system tailored for cheap cialis, according to a manufacturer.

Bobby Cha, managing director of the Korean electronics company Enspert, told that Honeycomb require a dual core Cortex A9 to function properly. Until now, the only chipset that includes this processor is the second Tegra, Nvidia, which must appear on many of the tablets Android to be launched at the Consumer Electronics Show this week.

Cha said that a minimum screen resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels may also be necessary, but stressed that the tablets with Honeycomb come with screens of 7 inches or larger.

The Galaxy Tab Samsung has a 1 GHz processor Hummingbird and screen resolution of 1024 x 600. The company has even suggested that the updates to the Galaxy Tab would remain Android 2.3 (“Gingerbread”), but Cha’s comments seem to seal the fate of Tab as a product of rapid obsolescence.

Meanwhile, Google remained relatively quiet about what comes with Honeycomb – even if the version number in question is 2.4 or 3.0.

Andy Rubin, vice president of engineering at Google, showed a preliminary version of Honeycomb in a tablet from Motorola in December, but was economical in the details. All we know is that the version of Android-friendly tablets allow the use of larger screens and apps for Home and Back buttons based software. More details will emerge this week as more companies show their future tablets.

Untitled 115 81% of users search for health on the Internet

The number of people seeking health advice on the Internet should soar as workers turn the holiday season, but few will check the origin of information, according to an international survey released on Tuesday.

A study by researchers at the London School of Economics (LSE) commissioned by the company Bupa, from the private health sector, showed that with laptops and smartphones poised to overtake computers in 2012, most health information is available online and there are more ways to access them than before.

The survey of Bupa Health Pulse heard more than 12 000 people in Australia, Brazil, Britain, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Mexico, Russia, Spain and the United States and found that 81 percent of those who have access to Internet use the web to get advice on health, medicine, or conditions requiring medical care.

The study also found that 68 per cent of those who have Internet access use it to seek advice on certain drugs and four out of 10 seeking information about experiences of other patients on a health problem.

In Britain, where the Bupa predicts there will be 40 million visits to websites of health this week, as people try to fulfill New Year’s resolutions, experts warn that many health information found on the Internet is not checked and users will have difficulty knowing what to trust.

Vaccine could block up to 13 weeks the effect of cocaine in rats

Untitled 114 Vaccine could block up to 13 weeks the effect of cocaine in rats

The safe mixture of pieces of flu virus particles that mimic the drug was developed by researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College and has great potential for human treatment. According to the researchers, this new strategy may be the first to offer a simple way to addicts break the cycle of addiction.

If successful, the vaccine could also aid in the treatment of dependence on other substances such as nicotine and heroin.

The long-lasting immunity against the effects of cocaine is a result of activation of the mouse’s own immune system, which prevents the drug reaches the brain.

The vaccine, created by a team led by Dr. Ronald G. Crystal, causes the mouse to produce antibodies capable of binding and “hijack” the molecules of cocaine before they cause a sensation of pleasure.

The secret is the combination of elements: a chemical very similar in its structure, cocaine, and components of adenovirus, a common cold virus. The researchers broke the adenovirus, keeping only the components that trigger an immune response of the body and eliminating those that actually cause the disease. They then arrested the substance similar to cocaine, that they have almost identical to the drug in these proteins.

By having this combination injected into the body, the immune system is alerted to the presence of an infectious agent (virus), but also learns to see cocaine as an outsider.

This incredible new innovation is slated to be unveiled to the world at the Consumer Electronics Show 2011 (CES 2011) in Las Vegas, this month.

The all new Windows TV will be running a stripped down version of the Windows operating system and will be carrying Windows Media Center interface embedded into the package, along with a remote control.

Even with rock hard competition from Apple Inc. and Google Inc., the all new Windows TV, could in fact become just the product that would entice the users and would propel Microsoft successfully into the television realm.

However, HTC isn't all out with surprises, as the Taiwanese handset manufacturer is planning to introduce two new Android powered smart phones namely, HTC Droid Incredible HD via Verizon and HTC EVO Shift 4G via Sprint Nextel.

One of the primary reasons for the skipping of the Scribe from the show is the fact that, HTC does not own its own pavilion this year. However, all those who might feel disappointed with this revelation, there is a silver lining and that is, HTC will be unveiling the Scribe tablet at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain in the month of February this year.

The Best Sex Position for Deep Penetration

See also: cheap cialis | cheap cialis | 


Deep penetration can be very passionate and exciting for both men and women as it can provide entirely new sensations and higher levels of pleasure. Besides being very satisfying and rewarding, it can also provide a sense of being deeply connected with each other, both physically and emotionally. The key to deep penetration is in the way the woman's body is positioned.The Crab on Its Back sex position is the absolute best for deep penetration.



This sex position comes to us from both the Kama Sutra and the Arab sex manual The Perfumed Garden. It is a man-on-top position, and it allows a great deal of face-to-face intimacy between the partners. It also gives the man the ability to thrust vigorously, and the woman to return his thrusting with her own alternating movement.



In this sex position, the woman lies on her back on the bed, with her upper body only and her buttocks placed near the edge of the bed at the bottom corner. The man stands or bends over her and penetrates her. At this time, the woman bends her knees backwards towards her breasts, which makes her resemble a crab on its back.



The man supports himself with his hands, but his torso and the woman's are generally in very close contact. The Crab on Its Back position is similar to the “Pressed Position” where the woman places her feet on her lover’s chest, but in this position, she can have her feet extend to her lover’s side instead.



The Crab on Its Back position allows for maximum penetration and can be used by couples where the man has only an average-sized lingam (Sanskrit for penis). In this way, as the woman raises her hips off the bed, the man's lingam is fully penetrated, so the actual size of the man's lingam is not so important, as penetration is at the deepest level possible.



Though the woman's torso is pinned down, she is free to move her pelvis, which she should do as the man starts thrusting. The man can have both or one leg on the floor to support himself, whichever is most comfortable. The woman can pull her legs back further to allow even deeper penetration if she wishes.



The couple should move in a coordinated movement of thrust and push back for as long as possible. This will almost assure a simultaneous orgasm if done correctly. In this position,a woman will climzx with deep, intense contractions. The man should not withdraw during his orgasm, but continue to thrust while the woman (or they both) come to a deeply satisfying climax.



When personal Tantra instruction is either inconvenient or too expensive, Al Link and Pala Copeland's Sexual Mastery Course and Kerry and Diane Riley's Ultimate Home Tantra Course are two excellent self-teaching courses. I highly recommend either of these courses for those who can't find a local Tantra teacher, attend a Tantra workshop, or just want to explore Tantra in the privacy of their own home.
