Browser Details for Tech Support

Today, I would like to show you the innovative site developed by Imulus. It is very useful for mainly for the Support Team who work in Web. It is very difficult to get the technical question answered through your client who is not technical. Then this site help you find the the answer related to Web Browser.

Website Title: The Site Title is Support Details | Tech Support Management
Website URL: http://www.supportdetails.com/

As the operator of a website or online service, you know the problem: a gruff complaint to customer support because nothing works. And the customer, in his frustration, unfortunately forgets to provide further details.

Where does an admin or programmer begin when all they have to go on is “does not work” or “is broken”? You need details: about the customer’s browser and its configuration. A reasonable approach to the problem would be to start with some queries, which the non-specialist would be able to only partially answer: “Which browser? Well, uh… this Mozzarella.” “Cookies? I haven’t baked in years.”

When in doubt, send your customers to the website Support Details ( http://www.supportdetails.com/ ). Their data will be automatically read out of the browser (including Flash version, operating system, cookies, JavaScript status, screen resolution, browser size and more) and can be copied, sent directly to you via email or saved. The free service uses Flash but can also complete its task without it.

User interfaces—the way we interact with our technologies—have evolved a lot over the years.

From the original punch cards and printouts to monitors, mouses, and keyboards, all the way to the track pad, voice recognition, and interfaces designed to make it easier for the disabled to use computers, interfaces have progressed rapidly within the last few decades.

But there’s still a long way to go and there are many possible directions that future interface designs could take. We’re already seeing some start to crop up and its exciting to think about how they’ll change our lives.

In this article are than a dozen potential future user interfaces that we’ll be seeing over the next few years (and some further into the future).

Square Logo and iPhone Device working like Credit Card Machine

Jack Dorsey, who came up with the idea for Twitter and is now its chairman, has unveiled Square, his new start-up. Tuesday (December 1, 2009 ) the company’s Web site went live. Square makes a small square device that plugs into any gadget with an audio input jack, including an iPhone or iPod Touch, and turns the device into a credit card machine.

The idea: anyone with a mobile phone can accept credit card payments.

Little background: In February 2009, Jim McKelvey wasn’t able to sell a piece of his glass art because he couldn’t accept a credit card as payment. Even though a majority of payments has moved to plastic cards, accepting payments from cards is still difficult, requiring long applications, expensive hardware, and an overly complex experience. Square was born a few days later right next to the old San Francisco US Mint.

Useful For: Square could be useful for people who run small businesses, like food carts or booths at art festivals and farmers’ markets, who would not otherwise be able to accept credit cards. Theoretically, it could even be a way for individuals to pay one another without exchanging cash or checks.

Square Receipt

Availability: Square is starting with a limited roll-out and will be available to everyone next year. The company, which attracted a lot of interest from several venture capital firms, is backed by Khosla Ventures, which recently raised $1.1 billion to invest in start-ups.

Test User Cheri Mims is the owner of Lilybelle, a flower cart near Square’s office in downtown San Francisco. She, along with just a few other merchants, has been using Square for several months during a test period. Ms. Mims plugs the device into her iPod Touch and connects to the Internet using the Wi-Fi connection in the plaza where she operates her flower cart.

Cheri Mims share her experience and view about the Square. It makes it so much easier to sell your product. Customers don’t carry lots of checks or cash. The fact that you can go anywhere and run a business is amazing. It was surprised that customers were not nervous about swiping their credit cards using a device they had never seen. Fraud prevention will be a big challenge for Square. People who want to pay with Square can create accounts with photos so sellers can verify that the person using the credit card is its owner.

Alternative forms of payment are an exciting area for entrepreneurs and investors. Many companies, including eBay’s PayPal unit, are focusing on making it easier to pay for things online. Others, like Obopay, let people text message money to one another.

Facts about H20 Car – Water Powered Car:

• Cars that can run with water (H2O)
• Your car will run as long as you have bottle of water to add on time to time.
• Any kinds of water, rain or sea, even tea works
• According to GENEPAX, “A liter of water will keep the car running at the speed of 80 kms for round an hour”

This is a good alternative to the soaring oil price and growing pollution. As it uses water (H2O) as an alternative to oil and its echo friendly vehicle.

There is the fundamental change is occurring in the world of technology, a new type of computer that is arriving in the unusual form of a coffee table. This past March, Microsoft invited popular mechanics to the companies Redman Washington campus for a first look at a top secret project code name Milan. It is the first of its kind in that it is new paradiamond computing, is called surface computing. This type of interface work especially well for photo sharing, maps and menus, for browsing on a tradition screen pales in comparison to the detail hands on manipulation people are used to with paper. You can do things like: organize your photos, drag am around and resize them and play with them as if they were real photos, real printed photos and here we even have a video. Surface computing utilizes multi touch technology which is a multi finger, multi user interface that is been dancing around computer science since the l980’s.

This is a multi touch input device and multi touch which generally means multi point input devices are about allowing more then one input to be process at the time. NYU computer scientist Jefferson Han (Founder, Perceptive pixel) build huge multi touch displays for corporate military clients through his company Perceptive pixel. In fact multi touch is swiftly becoming the hot interface for electronic devices. Multi touch first fully allows direct manipulation that means you are actually contacting on the graphic itself, it’s the direct manipulation. Never fact, two it mean I can do more then one point of time I can actually use two or three which mean I can manipulate more things at a time but with mouse we can only manipulate one or two things at a time.

But where Microsoft Surface computer truly get mind blowing is how it interacts with other devices. The surface computer uses a series of infrared cameras to literally see what is on its table top. What we were able to do is also have interaction with objects on the surface so when we place an objects on the surface, the cameras goanna recognize what that object is and allows us to interact directly with that object what we have display on the surface. We see this is a whole new category, a complete new eco system for computers. Here we have a wireless camera and a lot of wireless functionality is built in to the surface computing platform and it’s evolving into devices such as this camera. So, here we can take the picture from the digital camera and then just put the camera right on the device and use that picture. We have a cell phone and all the wireless linking is going on behind the scene in the table. So, you can take the photo and then instantly put in on your wireless device and then take it with you. Now you basically taken two devices and without having to plug them into computer or sync them up you transfer content from one to the other.

Other surface computing may eventually find a place in the home but Microsoft actually plans to sell the devices to commercial partners such as T-Mobile, Paris Casinos, and Star Wood Hotels. The US$ 5,000 to US$ 10,000 machines will start showing up in local retail stores as early as the end of 2007.

But where is all of this leading? Computer scientists see a near future of ubiquitous computing where people are surrounded by intelligent surfaces. Maybe the surface of your kitchen table or it can be in front of your television unit and it can help you to control your television as the ultimate remote control. Eventually of course this will triple down and I do I am very positive and I firmly believe that this kind of thing will be in that near future where we have wallpaper displays in every hallway, every desk, every surface starts to become a near face of computer and in order for that to happen we need interfaces like this.
