		<title>Cisco steps out of the WiMAX game</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">WiMAX we can say it&#8217;s coming to an end, let&#8217;s see what will happen to LTE in the next few years my opinion is that we will have next generation cellphone service but faster, Mi-Fi, Wi-Fi all over&#8230; this way we will be connected 24&#215;7. Other options well I don&#8217;t think we have to pursue perfection like 4G technologies like WiMAX. Here the latest news from Engadget:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It&#8217;s still far, far too early to call <strong>WiMAX</strong> a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">dead technology</span>, but with the second major infrastructure supplier moving away from it in as many months, that&#8217;s a pretty damning sign, isn&#8217;t it? After Alcatel Lucent&#8217;s announcement  that it would be scaling back WiMAX investment last month, Cisco has now pulled the plug on its own efforts, citing a desire to stay as &#8220;radio-agnostic&#8221; as possible in the 4G race. That makes sense for a company that hasn&#8217;t traditionally played in the wireless game the same way stalwarts like Ericsson and Nokia Siemens have, but the move still lies in stark contrast to Cisco&#8217;s 2007 acquisition of Navini Networks that brought a host of WiMAX-focused equipment into the fold. Of course, CDMA has managed just fine in the shadow of GSM&#8217;s global domination over the past decade, so these early warning signs could amount a fat load of nothing by the time we&#8217;ve reached a 4G steady state.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a title="Cisco steps out of the WiMAX game" href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/another-one-bites-the-dust-cisco-steps-out-of-the-wimax-game/" target="_blank">source</a></p>

		<title>Dominicano gana en concurso mundial de Grabaciones de Sonido</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Santo Domingo, 11 de noviembre del 2009.</span>-<br />Con la primera participación de un dominicano en el Concurso Internacional de Grabación Amateur que organiza la Federación Internacional de Cazadores de Sonido, Leo Salazar obtiene el 4to Lugar en la Categoría B, Reportajes y Entrevistas, y 18avo lugar en la totalidad. Ya en su página se encuentra colocada la bandera dominicana, <a href="http://tecnologicodominicano.blogspot.com/2009/11/www.soundhunters.com">www.soundhunters.com</a>.</div>
<p>El Concurso Internacional de Grabación Amateur nace con los comienzos de la radiofonía en los años 30, cuando aficionados se dedicaron a la grabación de sonidos diversos. El primer concurso fue organizado en<br />1952 en Lausanne, Suiza, y el primer premio lo obtuvo el estudiante Stefan Kudelski quien participó en la competencia con una grabadora &#8220;hecha en casa&#8221;.</p>
<p>Para mas información o solicitar una copia de la grabación visitar la pagina <a href="http://tecnologicodominicano.blogspot.com/2009/11/www.leosalazar.com.">www.leosalazar.com.</a></p>

		<title>Post Affiliate Pro, Virtuemart and Paypal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>Post Affiliate Pro and Paypal integration in VirtueMart. This information is very useful if you already have VirtueMart working in your Joomla site. I may say you have to configure Paypal to return after a purchase. To do this:</p>
<p><span id="more-696"></span></p>
<p>Login to your Paypal account –&gt; Profile –&gt; Website Payment Preferences<br />
Turn on Auto Return</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>Return URL: http://www.yoursite.com</p>
<p>In VirtueMart I found an issue, Paypal does not allow your country of residence to ship so:</p>
<p>Login in your admin and goto Component–&gt; Virtuemart–&gt; Store–&gt;List of Payment Methods–&gt;Paypal –&gt;Configuration</p>
<p>Look for :<br />
“address_override” =&gt; “1?</p>
<p>change to:<br />
“address_override” =&gt; “0?</p>
<p>Finally</p>
<p>edit checkout.result.php</p>
<p>This files is located at &#8221; ../administrator/components/com_virtuemart/html/ &#8220;. This file will be executed and change the order status to &#8220;Confirmed&#8221; when the customers are linked back to your website after successful payment.<br />
#vi checkout.result.php</p>
<p>At around line 37, you should see the following line:</p>
<p><strong>&lt;h2&gt;&lt;?php echo $VM_LANG-&gt;_PHPSHOP_PAYPAL_THANKYOU ?&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; </strong></p>
<p>Then, after the line above, place the following code:</p>
<p><strong>&lt;!&#8211; VirtueMart PAP Commission Tracking Code &#8211; START &#8211;&gt;<br />
&lt;?php  //track anyway as paypal is must be configured to return automatically to your website<br />
$q = &#8220;SELECT * FROM #__{vm}_orders WHERE order_id=&#8217;$order_id&#8217;&#8221;;<br />
$db-&gt;query( $q );<br />
$pap_order_total = $db-&gt;f(&#8216;order_subtotal&#8217; );<br />
$q = &#8220;SELECT * FROM #__{vm}_order_item WHERE order_id=&#8217;$order_id&#8217;&#8221;;<br />
$db-&gt;query( $q );<br />
$pap_product_id = $db-&gt;f(&#8216;product_id&#8217;);<br />
?&gt;<br />
&lt;script id=&#8221;pap_x2s6df8d&#8221; src=&#8221;http://www.yoursite.com/affiliate/scripts/salejs.php&#8221; type=&#8221;text/javascript&#8221;&gt;<br />
&lt;/script&gt;<br />
&lt;script type=&#8221;text/javascript&#8221;&gt;<br />
var sale = PostAffTracker.createSale();<br />
sale.setTotalCost(&#8216;&lt;?php echo $pap_order_total ?&gt;&#8217;);<br />
sale.setOrderID(&#8216;&lt;?php echo $order_id ?&gt;&#8217;);<br />
sale.setProductID(&#8216;&lt;?php echo $pap_product_id ?&gt;&#8217;);<br />
PostAffTracker.register();<br />
&lt;/script&gt;<br />
&lt;!&#8211; VirtueMart PAP Commission Tracking Code &#8211; END &#8211;&gt;</strong></p>

		<title>Xerox&#8217;s silver ink</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>Xerox researchers have invented a kind of ink that can conduct electricity and be used to put electronic circuits on top of plastics, film, and textiles. That means in the coming years we’ll be able to wear or bend our electronics. You could even print out your electronic gadget on plastic sheets, as if you were printing a document.</p>

		<title>GeoCities closes tomorrow!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>My first personal website was hosted by GeoCities back in 1990s I don’t even remember the year but. I was free hosting limited in scripting but good enough on HTML. GeoCities was the place where many a modern-day internet nerd cut his or her teeth.</p>
<p>Now days hosting is fairly cheap and accessible, but was the good old days when I was an student with empty pocket looking to host my website for a presence.</p>
