Why Third-Party Browsers Will Always Be Inferior to Safari on iPhone and iPad

iOS supports third-party browsers, but not like you might expect. Third-party browsers will always be inferior to Apple’s own Safari on iPhone and iPad — at least until Apple relaxes their restrictions. This is the reason why Mozilla no longer offers their Firefox Home app for iOS, and it’s the same reason why Google’s Chrome developers had an internal debate before releasing the current Chrome app in the App Store. All Browsers Must Use Safari’s Rendering Engine Apple’s App Store policies state: “Apps that browse the web must use the iOS WebKit framework and WebKit Javascript.” This means that web browsers can’t implement their own rendering engines; they must embed a version of Safari’s rendering engine. They can’t offer a faster rendering engine or new web features. In effect, each third-party browser on iOS is a different interface around Safari. On traditional desktop operating systems, like Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, each browser can provide its own render...

Synchronize Folders Between Computers and Drives with SyncToy 2.1

If you have a few different computers and drives, it can be annoying making sure the same data is each one you need. Today we take a look at making folder and data synchronization easier with the Microsoft SyncToy 2.1 utility. You might have a flash drive that you use to carry files and documents from the workplace to your home office and vice versa. Sometimes though, you might forget to copy the files you need over to the drive. With Microsoft’s SyncToy it allows you to easily make sure the data between drives and folders is synchronized everyday. There are a lot of reasons you might want to synchronize folders.

This is a free tool from Microsoft that was once part of the XP Power Toys but has continued to grow and improve. Installing SyncToy When you install SyncToy it also installs Microsoft Sync Framework 2.0 Core Components, which is t...

SMB ver 3

SMB 2.2 is now SMB 3.0, was introduced with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012. It brought several significant changes, such as the SMB Direct Protocol (SMB over RDMA) and SMB Multichannel (multiple connections per SMB session), that are intended to add functionality and improve SMB2 performance, notably in virtualized data centers. It also introduces several security enhancements, such as end-to-end encryption and a new AES based signing algorithm. Looking back at the amount of changes that have gone into this release – the lines of code written, array of features introduced, new scenarios we have enabled, work we have done with our partners, a minor revision doesn’t do justice the work that has gone in. So moving on, SMB 2.2 is SMB 3.0! Regular followers of this blog have seen detailed posts on various SMB improvements over the last few months. To summarize, the following are some of the key new functionalities available with Windows Server 2012 SMB 3.0: SMB for Server Applica...

10 Toxic Words you Must not Say in a Job Interview

There’s plenty advice out there to rehearse what you’re going to say in a job interview: research questions the interviewer might ask, practice your answers, come up with salient questions of your own… But what about rehearsing what you’re not going to say? I put together a list below of some words you’ll want to try to avoid at your next job interview, because even though they seem like just ordinary words, they could be major red flags for an interviewer or recruiter. No. First of all, if asked even a simple question, you don’t want to give a single word answer (yes or no). But when the answer is no, definitely don’t leave it there! For example, if asked if you know a particular computer program, and you don’t, you could say, “I haven't yet had a chance to learn it but would be interested to do so,” rather than simply saying “No.” Er… Um… That old saying, “If you don’t have anything to say, don’t say anything at all,” applies here a big. Rather than hemming ...
