What is Black Friday

Black Friday is the discount shopping day that has to do with the American Thanksgiving, which is always on a Thursday. Retailers promote this day as the day to start shopping for Christmas. BlackFriday is often advertised with "Christmas Sales" as well as "Thanksgiving Sales."

The word "black" in Black Friday refers to the term "in the black" meaning making a profit. Today, Black Friday is not a crucial source of profit to retailers, but is important in driving traffic into stores. Many retailers mail special Black Friday circulars to consumers, announcing deeply discounted items in the hopes that consumers will visit their store on Black Friday.

Free file hosting- Windows Skydrive

According to jimmy wales the founder of Wikipedia- the free Encyclopedia :

Windows Live SkyDrive, initially called Windows Live Folders, is a free-of-charge file hosting service that allows users to upload files to a cloud storage and then access them from a Web browser. It is part of Microsoft's Windows Live range of online services, and uses Windows Live ID to control access to files, allowing users to keep the files private, share them with contacts, or make the files public. Publicly-shared files do not require a Windows Live ID to access.

The service offers 25 GB of free personal storage,^[1] with individual files limited to 100 MB.^[2] The service is built using HTML5technologies, however, a Silverlight-based tool can be installed to allow drag-and-drop uploading from any Silverlight enabled browser such as Windows Explorer on a Windows machine or Safari on a Apple Macintosh computer. Up to five files can be uploaded each time if the tool has not been installed.

Some of the Features are as follows:

• Office Web App
• Office Desktop App integration

Symbian SDK-

Just reading through some stuffs today, i came across some useful info from Nokia and i thought it wise to share with you. its about Nokia Symbian SDKs.

Develop for the world’s most-popular smartphone platform

Symbian OS offers you the winning combination of leading-edge mobile technology and a diverse range of runtimes. The hundreds of millions of Symbian devices already in the market offer you an excellent opportunity to deliver profitable applications to a global market.

Download S60 and Symbian SDKs

Symbian OS offers you the winning combination of leading-edge mobile technology and a diverse range of runtimes. The hundreds of millions of Symbian devices already in the market offer you an excellent opportunity to deliver profitable applications to a global market.

For more information, visit the Symbian page

When coupled with your favourite development tool, the Symbian SDKs provide all the features required to quickly and efficiently build and test applications for Symbian devices on a PC.

What can I do with the Symbian SDKs?

The Symbian SDKs enable you to build applications using Qt, Symbian C++, Java™ technology, and Web Runtime (WRT). In addition, several of the SDKs support development with Python for S60 using an SDK plug-in. When used with your favourite development tools, the SDKs provide you with access to all the APIs implemented in a particular version of Symbian or edition and feature pack of Nokia S60 on Symbian OS. Once you’ve coded your application, the SDKs include tools to compile that application for testing in the SDK's emulator. In the emulator, your application can be tested without the need for a Symbian device, which improves development time. Once the application is tested, tools to compile and package the application for installation on a Symbian device are provided.

The SDKs include comprehensive documentation and example applications that enable you to make the most of Symbian and the SDK tools.

What features do the Symbian SDKs offer?

Full API coverage			Comprehensive emulator
	The SDKs provide all the public APIs to C++, Java, and WRT developers, enabling the creation of applications that take full advantage of Symbian devices.			Each SDK includes an emulator based directly on the code used in devices. This provides reliable execution of applications under development and full access to the features found on devices.
Location-base testing			Emulator-based debugging
	The emulator includes tools to define location and routes to enable efficient testing of location based applications.			Comprehensive debugging support is provided in the emulators for Symbian C++ and Java applications. In addition, tools for on-device debugging are provided.
Emulator diagnostics			Comprehensive compiler support
	A diagnostics tool supplied with the emulator provides comprehensive information on network traffic and emulator activity.			In addition to the general purpose GCC compiler, the latest SDKs support the use of the ARM RealView RVCT compiler 2.2 for the creation of optimised C++ binaries.

In addition to the SDKs, there are several plug-ins that extend the capabilities of the SDKs. These plug-ins fall into two categories: those that add APIs and those that add support for additional languages to the SDKs.

For more information, visit the Other tools page ›

How do I get started with the Symbian SDKs?

You'll need some familiarity with the programming language you plan use for development. To get started, read the getting started sections of the Nokia Developer libraries for Qt, Symbian C++, Java™ and WRT. If you’re choosing a development language for the first time, you can find more learning resources in the Learning section.

To run your chosen Symbian SDK, you'll need, at a minimum, a PC running Microsoft Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 (Microsoft Vista support is available for some SDKs) with 1 GB of RAM, a 1-GHz Pentium-class processor, 2 GB of free disk space, a display capable of 16-bit colour at 1,024 x 768-pixel resolution, a version of the Java™ runtime environment (JRE), ActiveState ActivePerl, and local administrator rights for installation and removal of the SDK. These SDKs require ActiveState ActivePerl 5.6.1 build 635 to be installed, which is available in the Symbian^3 SDK for Nokia Devices and is located at ..\epoc32\tools\distrib\ActivePerl-5.6.1.635-MSWin32-x86.msi in the folder in which the SDK is installed. .

What help does Nokia offer for the Symbian SDKs?

Nokia offers all developers a wide range of professional and community-based help and support:

• Discussion Boards
• Wiki
• Technical Support
• Launchpad

Of particular interest to most developers will be the Nokia Developer Knowledge Base, hosted in the Nokia Developer Wiki. The Knowledge Base provides up-to-date information on issues found in the SDKs and devices, along with useful information for avoiding or working around such issues.

How do I go to market with my Symbian applications?

The Ovi store is the most effective channel through which to distribute your applications worldwide to tens of millions of Symbian devices from Nokia.

For more information, visit the publish to Ovi Store page

You'll also want to consider Symbian Signed for your C++ applications, and the Java Verified™ Program for your Java™ applications. While neither certification option may be a requirement for your applications, each offers many advantages.
