Mobile+Web+Ajax

Internet usage on mobile devices has dramatically increased since 2007. This proliferation is the result of a rapid increase in processor power, improvements in network connectivity and reductions in the costs of mobile computing. Many mobile devices now include the same or similar Web browsing software as desktop computers. As a consequence, mobile device users expect access to the World Wide Web anytime, anywhere and from any device.

Introducing Geode

You’ve arrived in a new city, a new continent, a new coffee shop. You don’t really know where you are, and are looking for a good place to eat. You pull out your laptop, fire up Firefox, and go to your favorite review site. It automatically deduces your location, and serves up some delicious suggestions a couple blocks away and plots directions there.

This is about your life

Find about your self. Enhance your knowledge about life.

The phrases ‘positive thinking and ‘proactive thinking’ usually

conjure up ideas about economic and financial activity. They are,

however, prone to misunderstanding. From a perspective of the

Buddha’s Doctrine positive and proactive thinking may be

understood as the status of being free from thoughts such as: “I

cannot do this”, “This is difficult for me”, “I do not have the

ability”, “I do not possess sufficient accumulated merit”, “I am too

weak,” and such thoughts that freeze motivation which helps one

achieve realization of the Dhamma.
