The social-network giant facebook's new feature "Check in" now allows its mobile users to let their friend know where they are, just by tapping a button. The company representative Michael Eyal Sharon has written "Starting today, you can immediately tell people about that favorite spot with Facebook Places. You can share where you are and the friends you're with in real time from your mobile device." in the facebook blog .  It was announced just yesterday, at Aug 18th, 2010.

Sorting Gridview columns in Asp .NET

I like the gridview control most, to display the data of the database table at the webpage. It has so many features and extensions, which makes programming easier and interesting. In this article I will show you the method to sort gridview columns. First of all, define the grid view control as follows: (You can have your own colors and formats, but do not forget to mention AllowSorting ="True" and mention the function name in onsorting property as onsorting ="OnSort” .

“Apple tablet”: How will it look like?

People are talking about “Apple tablet”. We can see so many news, views, rumors and speculations regarding “Apple tablets” these days. Many designers are sketching their ideas of Apple tablet. I googled “apple tablet” and saw so many pictures about the product which is not even released. I am wondering what will be the name of the tablet, may be something like iTablet (like iPhone, iPod. People are also saying that the name might be iSlate). This might be the fusion of iPod and iPhone in one, or might be way more powerful and useful than those, or might be just another model of Mac book Pro. I am also wondering how this highly anticipated gadget will look like. Will it look like one of these ? Will it bring a new technological breakthrough or it will be just another gadget? I hope Mr. Jobs announces the new gadget soon, and I will get all my answers. :-)
