Over 1000 US Schools Apply to Samsung Contest

Some 1,100 schools in the U.S. have applied to participate in a contest run by Samsung Electronics to raise enthusiasm for science and math education, the company said Thursday.

Samsung, which has teamed up with Microsoft and Adobe for the "Solve for Tomorrow" contest, has narrowed the field down to 10 finalists and is asking the public to vote for the winner on its website.

The schools are competing for products worth some US$1 million from the sponsors.

Are you awaiting the new iPad?

Apple has started production of a new version of its iPad tablet computer, said people familiar with the matter. The new device will be thinner, lighter and will come with a faster processor, more memory and a more powerful graphics processor, said the people familiar with the matter. It will have a front-facing camera for the first time for features like video-conferencing.

What do you think? Is your current iPad fine, or do you plan to go for the camera? Or are you a fan of another tablet or eschewing them altogether?

Web design is different than traditional print publishing.

 Web design is different than traditional print publishing. Every website is an information display container, just as a book is a container; and every web page is like the page in a book. However the end size and shape of the web page is not known to the web designer, whereas the print designer will know exactly what size paper he will be printing on. [4]

For the typical web sites, the basic aspects of design are:

    * The content: the substance, and information on the site should be relevant to the site and should target the area of the public that the website is concerned with.
    * The usability: the site should be user-friendly, with the interface and navigation simple and reliable.
    * The appearance: the graphics and text should include a single style that flows throughout, to show consistency. The style should be professional, appealing and relevant.
    * The structure: of the web site as a whole.
