.NET: What is an Application Domain?

In past only "Processes" were used to define boundaries and provide security. Every process had its own virtual memory and never overlaps the other process virtual memory. Thus one process cannot crash another process. This way, any problem or error in one process does not affect the other processes.

Read : HTML5: How The Geolocation API Determines Your Location

Microsoft office 2013 is considered to bring much more new features in it without changing its main character and baselines. But the most important and attractive, as for me at least, is that it goes on cloud. You simply log into your account and your files are saved and accessible from Microsoft cloud. Instead of saving your documents on your local machine you can save them on Microsoft cloud. And then, later on if you need, you can access it from home, office or anywhere else having internet connection. But still Microsoft gives you option to do everything locally on your machine, for those users who have trouble finding internet connection or they don't want to save and share their data with Microsoft on their public cloud.

Facebook Application Sucks Your Personal Data: FB Account Security

Facebook has always been under discussion for sucking your personal data. According to a survey most of the people are not satisfied with the security of facebook. I would rather say: it’s not about the security of personal data facebook provides you from other websites but it’s the security of personal data from facebook itself. As we have seen that most of the companies end up violating their own privacy policies, sometime accidentally and sometimes accidently on purpose. Facebook is also doing the same. It keeps all the information about you and your family, where do you work and who are your colleagues, what your profession is and what are your hobbies and interests. Facebook keeps even that information which you have deleted from your account. Whatever you feed to facebook may be you forget it but facebook never forgets it.

What is the Difference: 32 Bit vs 64 Bit Operating System?

Windows 7 32 bit or 64 bit?

When deciding to move from 32 bit operating system to 64 bit, you should first know what 64 bit gets you. You must be aware which softwares run on 64 bit and for them you need a 64 bit operating system. There is no advantage if you are running 32 bit software on 64 bit operating system. Also you won't be able to run 16 bit software on 64 bit operating system (not supported by 64 bit) and for that you must stay on a 32 bit operating system. This is only a matter in case you have some valuable software which has not been upgraded yet for a long time, like hand-made custom software.

Ajax Textbox Watermark Extender also gives nice and cool effect to the text box in the form of watermarked message.
