			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Linux is a leading operating system for Servers, Mainstream Computers and Supercomputers.</p>
<p>Text editors are similar to word processors and it provides features to write/edit a document. Here are some of the best text editors for Linux.</p>
<h2>Linux Text Editors</h2>
<p>Three best text editors for Linux are Pico, Vim and Emacs.</p>
<h3>1. Emacs</h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-26227" title="text editor linux" src="http://www.geeksdesk.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/text-editor-linux.jpg" alt="text editor linux Best Linux Editors   Text, Audio and XML Editors" width="249" height="223" /></p>
<p>Emacs is a Customized, self-documenting and Extensible. You will find Emacs somewhere between the straight forward Pics and the complicated Vi. Emacs has 2000 built in commands. It concentrates on manipulating pieces of text rather than manipulating the &#8220;Font&#8221; of the character. It provides commands to manipulate words and paragraphs by deleting, moving and moving through htem. GNU Emacs is a real time display editor.</p>
<p>The sad part is remembering the vast set of commands of Emacs.</p>

<h3>2. Vim</h3>
<p>Vim is a screen oriented text editor. It is the improved version (clone) of Vi text editor (Vi IMproved). Vim was originally released for the Amiga computer in 1988.

It is a rather simple text editor that provides straight-forward-easy-to-use options and commands. Pico provides everything necessary to write long document with minimal hassles. It is developed in &#8216;C&#8217; language. In many ways pico&#8217;s interface resembles that of Windows &#8220;Notepad&#8221;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Craig Newmark was the first person to start Craigslist that included various classified advertisements. Numerous advertisements posted in this site are dedicated to personals, sales and services, community services, discussion forums, jobs, housing, home supplies, cars, pets and other categories too. It was established in the year 1995, and within just 10 years time, it became one among the most popular websites. Although Craigslist has not disclosed any kind of financial details till now, professionals consider that it might be over $10 million worth.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.geeksdesk.com/how-does-the-craigslist-make-money/craigslist-make-money/" rel="attachment wp-att-26186"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-26186" title="Craigslist Make Money" src="http://www.geeksdesk.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Craigslist-Make-Money.jpg" alt="Craigslist Make Money How Does Craigslist Make Money" width="389" height="231" /></a></p>
<h2>Revenue Generation</h2>
<p>Craigslist doesn’t have any form of ads in their entire site to make money out of it, like banner or text ads or any other kind for that matter of fact.</p>
<p>However there are 3 ways through which Craigslist generates money. They are</p>
<ul>
<li>Job Postings</li>
<li>Brokered Apartment Listings</li>
<li>Donations</li>
</ul>
<h3>Job Postings</h3>
<p>Craigslist actually offers free internet advertising for its users to post and read advertisements. This website generates revenue from people who post job opportunities on it, wherein the rates might differ depending on the location. To post jobs in a category in cities such as Boston, Austin, Atlanta, Dallas, Philadelphia, San Diego, Seattle, Orange County, Portland, New York, Denver, Chicago, Phoenix, Sacramento, Washington DC and South Florida, this website charges a fee of $25. This low rate shows that Craigslist is the only website to allow posting job opportunities for a low fee, when compared to other conventional forms of classified ads.</p>
<h3>Brokered Apartment Listings</h3>
<p>Furthermore, Craigslist also generates revenue from brokered apartment listings alongside donations. Craigslist charges $10 for posting brokered apartment listing in New York City and also charges $10 for posting an ad under therapeutic category. This website charges $5 for re-posting the ad that is already live.</p>
<p><strong>There is no other form of money making for Craigslist.</strong></p>
<p>This goes to prove that Craigslist is neither a nonprofit organization nor a commercial company. It is actually in between these two categories, although it has been registered as a profit organization. Craigslist is also said to generate over 20 billion page views in a month’s time and even though it has the potential to generate lots of revenue, the founders are not willing to run it as a profit generating company and wish to run it only as “no profit no gain” company. This is basically the major reason behind the grand success of Craigslist among people.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You will have already heard about the fact that the websites that you prefer to visit and the searches you make on the internet is stored in the browser history. Actually, the Google searches are also stored online, if you had enabled web history in Google.</p>
<p>The major benefit is that you can easily search them and can visit the website that you had already visited in the easiest way or see the search that you had already used, if you don’t remember them exactly. Now, the drawback is that it is searchable. Don’t get it? People who have access to your PC or Laptop can easily check those details including whatever you had searched in Google so far.</p>
<p>Now, let’s get into the details of how to delete Google search history through your browser.</p>
<h2>Delete Google Search History in Internet Explorer</h2>
<p>If you use Internet Explorer, you can delete the search history by selecting the “Tools” option present at the top of the toolbar and then by choosing the “Internet options” tab. Now, you can see “Browsing History” column wherein you can find “Delete” option underneath it. Click on that particular option.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-26053" src="http://www.geeksdesk.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IE-browsing-history-1.jpg" alt="IE browsing history 1 How to Delete (Clear) Google Search History" width="402" height="524" title="How to Delete (Clear) Google Search History" /></p>
<p>Now, a window will come into view. Click on the “Delete History” button if you prefer to delete the documentation of all the websites that you had visited until now. You can click on “Delete Password” option, if you prefer to delete temporary internet files, cookies passwords and form data.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-26054" src="http://www.geeksdesk.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IE-browsing-history-2.jpg" alt="IE browsing history 2 How to Delete (Clear) Google Search History" width="378" height="466" title="How to Delete (Clear) Google Search History" /></p>
<p>However, you need to bear in mind that the IE browser will erase all the saved passwords and so if you don’t prefer to delete them, you need to make a tick mark on the options individually excluding “Delete Passwords” button.</p>
<h2>Delete Google Search History in Firefox</h2>
<p>If you use Firefox, you can go to “Tools” option and then choose the “Clear Recent History” option or you can choose to press Ctrl+Shift+Del button on your keyboard to open that box. Once it is open, you can check the preferences that you wish to delete. Subsequent to checking those options you can click on “Clear Now” option to clear the entire Google search history on Firefox.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Even though there is no exact figure, it is presumed that Twitter has obtained more than $55 million in venture capital sources. The most interesting thing is that it has been predicted that Twitter will make more than 1.5 billion dollars as revenue within 2013. Lots of people wonder how Twitter makes money. You can never see any form of advertising on Twitter absolutely. You are not being charged for using this site. Furthermore, this website is not selling any kind of products too. Then how do they make money?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-25950" src="http://www.geeksdesk.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/how-does-twitter-make-money.jpg" alt="how does twitter make money How does Twitter Make Money" width="425" height="282" title="How does Twitter Make Money" /></p>
<h2>Twitter Feeds on Search Engines</h2>
<p>This was the first method followed by Twitter to generate money. They had deals with search engines such as Yahoo, Bing and Google. These search engines had acquired the rights to exhibit live Twitter feeds on their search results. Twitter had earned millions and millions of dollars as revenue by selling the rights of live Twitter feeds on any trending topic. Twitter had also benefitted through this method since it fetches more number of users to this micro-blogging site too.</p>
<p>There are actually 4 other sources through which Twitter makes money.</p>
<ul>
<li>Promoted tweets</li>
<li>Promoted trends</li>
<li>Promoted accounts</li>
<li>Political Ads</li>
</ul>
<h2>Promoted Tweets</h2>
<p>Promoted Tweets are nothing but cost per click, keyword aimed ads that come into sight in all Twitter search result pages. For example, if you search in search page of Twitter, you will get to see sponsored promoted tweets at the top of the page. This particular system works in the same manner as Google Adwords program and so you need to bid higher to show for targeted keywords search. Whenever someone replies, clicks, retweets, or favorites your Promoted tweet, only then you are bound to pay Twitter.</p>
<h2>Promoted Trends</h2>
<p>Promoted Trend obtains great exposure and so it is to be placed to amplify and initiate a particular conversation on Twitter. It actually helps the user to discover new and exciting things and also take part in it and share it. The user who clicks on a Promoted Trend will get to see Twitter search results for that specific topic along with a relevant Promoted Tweet from the promoter. This particular service is in beta stage, wherein only a small group of advertisers can make use of it. This is considered to be one among the best way to promote services and products on Twitter since the advertiser will be able to get more than 50 million impressions per day due to the heavy loads of traffic hitting on Twitter every day.</p>
<h2>Promoted Accounts</h2>
<p>This particular aspect is present in search results and also in the “<a rel="nofollow" href="https://twitter.com/#!/who_to_follow" target="_blank">Who to Follow section</a>”, the recommendation engine of Twitter that helps people to recognize parallel accounts and followers. Big users and Brands are ready and prepared to pay Twitter to help them show up their Twitter account to build a large user database. They can also aim at a particular country, community, area or interest. This is another good method for Twitter to make money.</p>
<h2>Political Ads</h2>
<p>This method was discovered by Twitter to generate money in the recent times. This particular advertising campaign is purchased by political advertisers to reach a wider range of targeted audience or to connect to their current followers on Twitter.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While I was travelling for my way back to home from office, I tried to start my navigation apps on my iPhone and to my horror; it turned off suddenly with some weird message like it cannot find the IMEI and some code number. Very strange thing to happen since the day I purchased my iPhone. I decided to reach home and fix the problem, if at all I can! After reaching home, I tried to turn it on, and the screen flashed with a message that read to plug in my iPhone into iTunes to get away with the issue.</p>
<p>I tried to act as per the message, but it hung without letting me type anything. Finally, I gave up and decided to keep it in recovery mode and re-install the software. I downloaded the files required for the installation and it even started to get installed, but at the interim of the process, it showed me an error message that read <strong><em>&#8220;failed to install – Error 1002&#8243;.</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-25982" title="Error-1002-iPhone-Problem-and-Solution" src="http://www.geeksdesk.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Error-1002-iPhone-Problem-and-Solution.jpg" alt="Error 1002 iPhone Problem and Solution How to Fix iPhone Error 1002" width="449" height="281" /></p>
<h2>The Problem – Error 1002</h2>
<p>I went all clueless regarding the error 1002, and got baffled as to how will I solve it? Then I decided to search on the official website of Apple to find out if there are solutions suggested regarding this error and found this piece of information.</p>
<p>This error is connected to the hardware failure of the device. It is even considered to be very difficult to solve. Error 1002 is a sort of baseband error which means that the software is corrupted and there is a need to switch on latest software available or the baseband hardware is gone! Infact there is a little IC chip inside the phone that might need to be replaced and restore. This error is not user&#8217;s faulty way of handling the iPhone but is completely manufacturer&#8217;s fault.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-25983" title="Error-1002-iPhone-Problem-and-Solution" src="http://www.geeksdesk.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/iPhone.jpg" alt="iPhone How to Fix iPhone Error 1002" width="337" height="219" /></p>
<h2>The Solution for iPhone Error 1002</h2>
<p>These are few steps I found to recover from this error.</p>
<ul>
<li>Turn off your iPhone</li>
<li>Launch iTunes thereafter.</li>
<li>Hold the home button for little time and reconnect iPhone USB to your PC.</li>
<li>iPhone must then mount iPhone after detecting your phone in a recovery mode.</li>
<li>It will then re-install the entire system and in case the issue still remains, try re-installing the IOS through some other computer.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>This video will also help you understand several other possible reasons behind iPhone 1002 error -</strong></p>
<p><iframe width="500" height="281" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jUUzclx1a1w?fs=1&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>This normally works for most of the users with iPhone error 1002 and also for some of the related errors. But if iTunes fails to restore your iPhone then you will need to contact Apple stores.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Facebook amongst all other social networking websites has become most popular and has reached a wider range of audience all over the world. This specific social networking website has got more than 800 million active users. This particular strategy makes Facebook to become an enormously robust and strong database.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-25940" src="http://www.geeksdesk.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/how-does-facebook-make-money.jpg" alt="how does facebook make money How does Facebook Make Money" width="350" height="220" title="How does Facebook Make Money" /></p>
<p>Have you ever wondered how does Facebook make money? Besides offering free profiles to its members, Facebook is still able to make money. It is not that complex as you imagine.</p>
<p><strong>Facebook makes money with 3 major things:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Advertising</li>
<li>Applications</li>
<li>Gifts</li>
</ul>
<p>Now, let’s get into the details.</p>
<h2>Revenue from Advertising</h2>
<p>This is the major method used by Facebook to make money. Facebook has collected income in hundreds of millions from the advertisers till now. You can see most of the advertisements on the right side of the Facebook page once you have logged in. Business organizations and companies market anything and everything on Facebook right from charity happenings to car insurance. Advertisers are very much keen in paying Facebook millions of dollars to advertise their product.</p>
<p><strong>Wonder why? The main reason is that Facebook can easily target accurate demographics that the advertisers are in need of.</strong></p>
<p>For instance, if a life insurance company wants to aim at customers who are 50 years older and more, or if a dentist clinic wants to have new customers within their close circle, say 10-15 miles of their specific city of existence, they both can easily find people to advertise about their product/brand/service on Facebook. The companies are able to reach wide range of targeted customers easily and they are also able to make more money because of the Facebook ads.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.facebook.com/ads/create/?src=emu1&amp;campaign_id=282141474901&amp;placement=emuca&amp;extra_1=0" target="_blank">Create your own ad on Facebook here</a>.</p>
<h2>Facebook Applications</h2>
<p>You should have heard a lot about a game known as “<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.facebook.com/FarmVille" target="_blank">FarmVille</a>” in Facebook. It is said to have more than 10 million players from various parts of the world. These applications are made by other business organizations and companies. For instance, FarmVille was created by a company called “<a rel="nofollow" href="http://company.zynga.com/" target="_blank">Zynga</a>”.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-25989" title="farmville" src="http://www.geeksdesk.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/farmville.jpg" alt="farmville How does Facebook Make Money" width="510" height="397" /></p>
<p>They have also created various other game applications such as <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=10979261223" target="_blank">Mafia Wars</a>, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.facebook.com/cafeworld" target="_blank">Café World</a>, and lot more. They get the space from Facebook on rent basis and so they pay Facebook for that purpose. This is the second most important way that Facebook follows to make money. Since there are millions of players playing all these games, Facebook generates more amount of money by renting space to them.</p>
<h2>Revenue from Gifts</h2>
<p>This is another method followed by Facebook to earn money. You can use the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://apps.facebook.com/freegifts/" target="_blank">free gifts application</a> on Facebook to send gifts to your friends on their Birthday, Wedding Anniversary or for any other occasion. It will actually cost you less when you send a gift through this method. However, it sums up to a bigger amount for Facebook when most of their users send gifts. Comparatively, this method is said to be one amongst the small ways used by Facebook to earn money.</p>
