Oct 25, 2011 China ‘not doing enough on software piracy’

The world’s leading software industry body warned on Monday of a jump in revenues lost to software piracy in China as the country’s government is failing to rein in rampant copyright infringement.

Robert Holleyman, president and chief executive of the Business Software Alliance, said pledges by the Chinese government to help foreign companies gain more revenues from software sales in China and high-profile anti-piracy campaigns had failed to deliver.

“All that activity led us to believe that we’d see some fairly rapid reduction of software piracy in China,” Mr Holleyman said. “But none of what I’ve picked up with our companies indicates that they’re seeing the kind of economic growth associated with the sales of software.”

The remarks indicate that software market opportunities for companies such as Microsoft are unlikely to keep up with the pace of China’s PC market growth, and that intellectual property rights infringement will remain an irritant in relations with the US and China’s other leading trading partners.

In late 2010, the Chinese government, responding to growing criticism of its intellectual property rights protection record, promised in talks with the US that it would help increase foreign companies’ software sales in the country.

Since last year, Beijing has also been running a high-profile crackdown on the production and sales of pirated goods. The duration and scale of the campaign initially gave rise to cautious optimism among foreign industry executives that real change could be on the cards.

The US government even expressed cautious optimism in its annual report on intellectual property rights protection, saying Beijing’s special campaign against piracy might lead to “lasting improvements”.

But Mr Holleyman said: “While [piracy as a] percentage of total software sales is coming down somewhat, the US$ losses are exploding.” He added that he expected multinational software companies to launch more legal action against Chinese counterfeiters as a result.

In China, 78 per cent of all software sold in 2010 was pirated, according to BSA’s 2011 Global Piracy Report, compared with a global average piracy rate of 42 per cent. While this is not among the world’s highest piracy rates, China created the second-highest economic damage through piracy as the industry lost $7.8bn in revenues to pirates last year. In the US, the damage was $9.5bn.

But China is expected to overtake the US in that ranking soon as it is set to surpass the US as the world’s largest PC market by unit shipments next year.

How to Find and Remove Unused CSS Code From Your Style Sheet

How to Find and Remove Unused CSS Code From Your Style Sheet. CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) is now becomes the most important area of the web design, and almost every page is having style sheet and class selector codes. If you are note the creator of your blog or website’s style sheet then you might not be aware from your css code, which css class selectors are being used and which are not in use. If you want to Find and Remove Unused CSS Code From Your Style Sheet then there is Mozilla Firefox plugin called Dust Me Selectors.

It has the capability to extract all the class selectors from all the stylesheets on the page you’re viewing, then analyzes that page to see which of those selectors are not used. The data is then stored so that when testing subsequent pages, selectors can be crossed off the list as they’re encountered.

- You can test pages individually, or spider an entire site, and you’ll end up with a profile of which selectors are not used anywhere.

Features of Dust-Me Selectors 2.2

• Supports local and remote stylesheets included using elements, processing instructions, and @import statements. (Note: rules inside blocks that are not @import statements, and inline style attributes, are not included.)
• Supports stylesheets inside IE Conditional Comments.
• Check a single page, or an entire site.
• Understands all CSS1 selectors, and most CSS2 and CSS3 selectors (courtesy of Dean Edwards’ wonderful base2).
• Caters for common CSS hacks — for example, “* html #foo” will be treated as “html #foo”.

- Add this Plugin to your Firefox from : Remove Unused CSS Code From Your Style Sheet page.


- Use it and let me know if you like it or not

Oct 24, 2011 Advantage of Jailbreaking iPhone

Jailbreaking of iPhone is very popular since Apple has launched iPhone devices, a mass community of iPhone Dev Team is putting their effort in Jailbreaking of iPhone with every new iOS releases by apple. Do you know the advantages of Jailbreaking an iPhone? if not then you must have to read this post and know the advantage of jailbreaking iPhone.

iOS jailbreaking, or simply jailbreaking, is the process of removing the limitations imposed by Apple on devices running on the iOS operating system through use of custom kernels. Such devices include the iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, and Apple TV 2G. Jailbreaking allows users to gain full access (or root access) to the operating system, allowing iOS users to download additional applications, extensions, and themes that are unavailable through the official Apple App Store, via installers such as Cydia. You can refer my post about Jailbreak iPhone 4 on iOS 4.3.3(8J2) using redsn0w_win_0.9.6rc17.
A jailbroken iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad running iOS can still use the App Store, iTunes, and other normal functions, such as making telephone calls. Unlike rooting an Android device, jailbreaking is necessary if the user intends to run software not authorized by Apple.
At its core, jailbreaking an Apple iOS device gives access to its root filesystem, allowing modification and installing third-party software components. This gives the user more control over the device and may enable features that were previously unavailable. In many cases, jailbreaking also voids the device’s warranty.

Advantage of Jailbreaking iPhone

1.  
   1. Under the DMCA of 2010, jailbreaking Apple iDevices is legal in the United States, although Apple has announced that the practice “can void the warranty.
   2. Cracked iPhone Games and Apps Installation – Jailbreaking is necessary if the user intends to run software not authorized by Apple.
   3. Gain deeper customization of device (e.g. theming, redesigned user interfaces and customize lock screens.)
   4. Jailbreaking also allows users to use paid apps from the App Store for free.
   5. It’s Fast and Easy – One of the best thing about jailbreaking an iPhone is you can easily jailbreak it within few minutes.
   6. Video chat over 3G Network – FaceTime video chat is a new feature of the iPhone 4, but it only works over a Wi-Fi network, which may be difficult to find in many situations. Jailbreaking the iPhone 4 allows for FaceTime video chat over a 3G connection.
