Google Launched a Chrome Enterprise Bundle for IT Pros


Google announced a new Chrome Enterprise Bundle that is sure to make IT pros life a bit easier. It will help admins deploy and manage the Chrome browser across the company. It provides admins a single installer for the Chrome browser, the Chrome Legacy Browser Support (LBS) extension for running an ActiveX widget and some administrative policy templates.
Now it’s easier for IT admins to deploy Chrome. This could upset the standard that is Internet Explorer or Edge standards at most companies, a change which may already be on its way considering the company says that the number of enterprises that use Chrome has doubled over the last two years. 
Regardless, with LBS, companies ocan deploy Chrome even if they need access to older versions of Internet Explorer to use outdated plugins such as Silverlight. If an employee using Chrome clicks on a link that needs a legacy browser to work, the LBS extension will open the URL in that browser. And when an employee types in another URL, the browser switches back. 
The new bundle coincides with the release of Chrome 58, which features GPU acceleration in Citrix environments, roaming profiles and Windows Server auto-detection. The browser now also offers support for Citrix’s XenApp virtualization platform and Windows Server with Terminal services. The company plans to add additional tools to the bundle over time.

Apple stores may get iPhone-connecting transmitters in Share Apple is likely to equip its retail stores with transmitters that connect to visitors' iPhones and provide messages based on the products of their interest.     The iBeacon transmitter system has been designed to enhance the shopping experience of people who visit the store. According to Cnet, the transmitters would connect to a user's iPhone and send messages as the user takes a look around products in the store, offering more product information or invitation to workshops. The report said that stores such as Nordstrom experimented with such a system before bringing in the wrath of customers who discovered they were being tracked as they wandered through the store.

1. Irrelevant Elements By far, the biggest issue I come across with new site launches is this: They use too many elements that bring no real value to the audience. In fact, these often just downgrade user experience considerably. There are too many crowded designs and too much text on one page. There are too many icons and photos. Does your site really need a search bar? Do you really need to show the tag cloud in your blog sidebar? Think hard. What are the 20% of elements that bring 80% of the results you're after? Start there. Always have a sound reason for adding new features, bells and whistles. Never add more stuff just because it seems "cool and hip." - Juha Liikala , Stripped Bare Media 2. Flash Intros Flash intros are annoying for the customer, take too long to load, don't work on Apple mobile devices and are not recognized by Google. It is best to avoid them entirely. - Josh Weiss , Bluegala 3. Photo Carousel A lot of sites stil

How noise-cancelling technology works for headphones    Bose pioneered the concept of noise-cancelling headphones way back in 1989 after more than 10 years of research. ET explains how this fascinating technology works. Noise cancellation in the car You may have experienced that some cars are quieter than others - this is because of the special attention paid to insulating materials (special laminated glass for example). However, there's only so much that passive noise isolation can accomplish inside the complicated acoustics of the car. That's why luxury carmakers have been implementing active noise cancellation for a quieter cabin. The same active noise cancelling technologies used in headphones can be easily implemented in a car. See image for details. How it works Simply put, active noise cancellation works by 'listening' to unwanted ambient sounds, and then producing a s
