			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Plagiarism is an act of copying some articles, research works or stealing ideas from others’ work. This is a very bad act because originality or creativity of other people is being robbed.</p>
<p>This act is similar to malpractice by school children but plagiarism is nowadays general with the advent of the internet even among the school and college students. If detected the students may be given low grades or even their scholarship can be canceled.<img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_ACeOrryUvOs/TWuIb6-o6yI/AAAAAAAADJA/908PRqydtrY/quality.jpg" alt="" />Plagiarism may be accidental or due to ignorance and this can be avoided if we follow some methods in preparing our research papers or articles. First of all, trying to be original in the content is the best way. Many people do plagiarism due to lack of ideas, less time, laziness etc.</p>
<p>Some people have the habit of copying some others content and pasting in their own materials. This can be avoided by quoting the content and specifying the reference of the content. Giving credit to the author really is good. But some facts and figures or information can be used from a standard source where creativity and originality is not needed.</p>
<p>Paraphrasing which is copying content or idea but changing the words used with similar words is also considered as plagiarism. This can be avoided by using some software that can detect plagiarism acts.Strict rules must be implemented against act of plagiarism to develop more creative works and bring originality into limelight.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Voice over Internet Protocol or abbreviated as VoIP is the latest internet  technology that is selling like hot cakes.</p>
<p>Why so? Because, in times where  everything you see costs no less than some hundred or thousand dollars, this is  a cost-effective telephone service that costs as less as a few cents per call to  any destination in the world. Surprising, but true. Nowadays, VoIP service is  being adopted by everyone because of its convenience and reliability.</p>
<p>VoIP or Internet Phone is user-friendly and anyone  can use it. All you need is a VoIP provider’s software installed in your PC or  your phone and begin making phone calls like you do with a regular PSTN service.</p>
<p>The only difference is that in a PSTN service, voice is transferred across  circuit-switched networks in an analogue format, while in a VoIP phone, voice  signals travel over Internet Protocol based networks.</p>
<p>Since, a VoIP service is  much economical than the traditional landline PSTN telephone service, regardless  of any geographical restrictions.</p>
<p>Now question is, “<em>What is the most used and popular VoIP protocol</em>? The  answer is simple and that’s ‘SIP’. SIP allows two or numerous people to easily  dial away phone calls to others, facilitated by the Internet.<img class="aligncenter" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_ACeOrryUvOs/TQEk1tb_P2I/AAAAAAAACoU/CXLLIu2K8Gg/Free-international-calls-using-VoIP.jpg" alt="" />The voice quality  of SIP-to-SIP phone calls made over high-speed DSL connection is un-compromised  and of excellent quality. The cost made to other SIP users is free of any  charges, no matter where you are and where you are dialing.</p>
<p>In addition to that,  you are offered with valuable features such as voicemail, speed dialing, caller  ID, 3-way conference calling, call recording, call forwarding, call waiting, and  anonymous call rejection among other value-added services.</p>
<p><em>What are Softphones?</em> Softphones are user-restricted clients that  enable voice and video phone calls over the internet protocol network. Commonly,  it integrates with USB and IP Phones rather than using PC’s microphone and  headphones or speakers.</p>
<p>Skype is excellent VoIP software that allows free calls to other Skype users.</p>
<p>For corporate sector, VoIP facilitates offices to administer a single IP  network, rather than arranging for a separate voice or data networks for each  employee, plus providing them with sophisticated and flexible features and  value-added services.</p>
<p>VoIP enables both large enterprises and SMB’s to save  more, by minimizing their expenditure on communication needs. PSTN landline  services or traditional phone services are very costly, compared to VoIP and the  multitude services it offers.</p>
<p>ublic Branch Exchange (PBX) offered by PSTN  service providers routes calls made internally and offers call queuing,  conference calling, voicemail and other facilities, however, it can be pricey,  especially for a small business set up.</p>
<p>However, IP-PBX allows you to use a solo  VoIP or Internet  Phone connection and set up a private exchange within the office, use Fax  over IP facility, call waiting, caller ID, and so much more at an unbelievably  low cost.</p>
<p>Apart from Skype, QuteCom, Twinkle, KPhone, Asterisk, FreeSWITCH, Kiax,  Linphone and Ekiga are some of the most popular VoIP software that you can use  and start making free VoIP calls, staring the next minute.</p>
<p><em>This post is written by Zach Ripples who works with <a href="http://www.axvoice.com/" target="_blank">AxVoice</a> and have experience in VoIP field.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>The world of electronics is making major advances and it has influenced the industry, markets and our daily lives. The microprocessor or microchip has seen constant upgradation and development. The latest chip technology making grounds is the multi-core processor.</p>
<p>Microprocessors are now in common use in almost all consumer electronics products. It has become common place in smartphones, netbooks and other mobile devices. Until recently these processors embedded here, were simpler. However in recent years mobile processors have increased tremendously in capability, matching the complex chips found in personal computers.</p>
<p>An advanced smartphone today has probably a One Gigahertz processor and Gigabytes of memory equal to some earlier desktop PCs. This enables new mobile applications to be developed, to cater to various requirements.</p>
<p>Intel the world&#8217;s largest semiconductor chip manufacturer is moving towards manufacturing unimaginably small chip geometries of 15 nanometres and smaller.The smaller the chip geometries the better the performance and relatively lower the power consumption. The company announced that it would pour into factories and facilities around $8 billion to achieve smaller geometries.</p>
<p>Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) recently showcased its upcoming “Llano” chip which is a highly integrated design targeted at downsized computers due to be out early next year.<img class="aligncenter" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_ACeOrryUvOs/TQEg1FYzmtI/AAAAAAAACoM/pzJxrxezPL0/microchips.jpg" alt="" />This AMD Fusion Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) integrates the main processor and graphics function on to one chip using 32-nanometre technology. It features up to four CPU processor cores and integrates AMD&#8217;s 5000 series graphics technology. It is targeted at, among other designs, ultra-thin and mainstream laptops.</p>
<p>According to market research firm, Strategy Analytics, baseband integrated applications processors are gaining market share in the smartphone market. Baseband integrated applications processors serve a broad market offering a cost competitive solution. Whereas the stand alone applications tend to serve high performance devices with latest features supported.</p>
<p>Qualcomm Inc. is a leading developer and innovator of wireless technologies. It announced that it will support, with its integrated chipset solutions and system software, the launching of phones based on Microsoft&#8217;s Windows Phone 7 series. These smartphones will be powered by Qualcomm&#8217;s Snapdragon Platform.</p>
<p>The Snapdragon chipset is a highly integrated single chip solution that includes a high performance (1GHz) enhanced CPU. It also integrates Qualcomm&#8217;s leading 3G mobile broadband technology as well as rich multimedia, HD video, 3D graphics and GPS.</p>
<p>All this in a single chip (Snapdragon QSD8250 platform) enables manufacturers to deliver smart, slim and powerful mobile devices with long battery lives.</p>
<p>According to Luis Pineda, Senior Vice President, marketing and product management at Qualcomm CDMA Technologies, the company (QCT) is enabling the development of a wide array of smartphones, smartbooks, pocket tablets and e-readers today.</p>
<p>QCT is probably the world&#8217;s largest semiconductor producer providing chipsets to more than 50 customers and partners with nearly 60 3G operators around the globe.</p>
<p>The advancement in microprocessor technology has redefined the experience of wireless mobility and enabled new generations of increasingly powerful electronic devices, mobile handsets, portable computers and extended innovative applications to an ever widening range of products and services all over the world.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><!--4eabd240a3bf445ab3acef2e041d0a07-->Google doodle is specially designed logos of Google which are designed on special occasions and Google uses them to celebrate special occasions.Search engine giant Google is celebrating 25’th Anniversary of Buckyball, Google has replaced middle “O” with a buckyball.<img class="aligncenter" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_ACeOrryUvOs/TIFcFVfsdtI/AAAAAAAABQQ/n9Mu-LINOv8/google-doodle-buckyball.jpg" alt="" />You can rotate the buckyball in any direction using your mouse, to rotate the buckyball simply visit Google and put the mouse pointer on buckyball and move the pointer in the direction in which you want buckyball to rotate.Buckyball doodle is only visible on the home page of Google.com and Google.co.in. Google may show the  buckyball on other domains too.</p>
<p><em>Buckyballs, also called Fullerenes, are carbon molecules arranged in a spherical shape with geometric patterns similar to those found on soccer balls. They are named after architect Buckminster Fuller and his geodesic dome designs (think the giant golf ball at Epcot in Orlando, FL). Buckyballs and quantum dots are two nanotools useful in medicine. A bucky- ball is a soccer ball-shaped molecule that’s 1 nanometer wide. The Doctors could use buckyballs and quantum dots in gene therapy to send genes into human cells.</em></p>
<p>Googles always celebrates many special occasions with new and creative Google doodle.I really liked this new idea and hope you also liked it.<!--4eabd240a3bf445ab3acef2e041d0a07--></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the visibility of a web site or a web page in search engines via the &#8220;natural&#8221; or un-paid (&#8220;organic&#8221; or &#8220;algorithmic&#8221;) search results. Other forms of search engine marketing (SEM) target paid listings. In general, the earlier (or higher on the page), and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine.</p>
<p>SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search and industry-specific vertical search engines. This gives a web site web presence.</p>
<p><strong>Here is the visual guide to SEO</strong><br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.bloggingpro.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/complete-guide-to-seo-infographic-w585.jpg" alt="" />As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work and what people search for. Optimizing a website may involve editing its content and HTML and associated coding to both increase its relevance to specific keywords and to remove barriers to the indexing activities of search engines. Promoting a site to increase the number of backlinks, or inbound links, is another SEO tactic.</p>
