INTERNET EXPLORER 10 OFFLINE SETUP

 

 

Internet Explorer 10 continues to provide key security and performance features from earlier versions of the browser. For example, tools like the SmartScreen filter help protect corporate customers from socially engineered malware. Hardware acceleration ensures that web apps are fast, and Internet Explorer 10 supports Internet Explorer 9, Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 7, and Quirks compatibility view.

In addition, Internet Explorer 10 supports modern standards like HTML5, CSS3, and SVG to give corporate developers the ability to build more powerful web apps. The underlying platform is fully interoperable across both browsing experiences available in Internet Explorer 10, enabling developers to write the same markup for both experiences. Internet Explorer is also plug-in free. Line-of-business applications that require legacy ActiveX controls can use Internet Explorer for the desktop.

New  features :

This section describes some of the new features in Internet Explorer 10, which are most important to IT professionals, including browser launch settings, web standards, and enhanced protected mode.

Removed  Tools :

The following tools have been removed for Internet Explorer 10 :

Ø Internet Explorer Maintenance (IEM). Enabled administrators to define an Internet Explorer configuration as part of the Group Policy Object (GPO). Windows 8 with Internet Explorer 10 deprecates IEM in favor of a more robust tool called Group Policy Preferences. Administrators can also use the Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) to configure specific settings.

Ø Profile Manager. Helped administrators update settings and maintain the custom Internet Explorer package created using IEAK. Now, IEAK and Group Policy Preferences are the recommended solutions for customizing Internet Explorer packages and managing Internet Explorer preferences. Profile Manager-related tasks that still exist in new locations.

Ø Update browser configuration settings. When you run IEAK 10, it creates an .ins file with the values for settings that you customized. If you run the wizard again, you can import the .ins file and the wizard will populate the wizard pages with your previous customized values. On the File Locations page, click Advanced Options, and then navigate to path of the .ins file that you want to use. Continue to run the wizard and change settings, as needed.

Ø Move an automatic configuration file. You can specify an .ins file to be used for updating user settings. On the Automatic Configuration page of the wizard, type the URL for an .ins file.

GOOGLE TALK OFFLINE SETUP

Google Talk is an instant messaging service that provides both text and voice communication. The instant messaging service is colloquially known as "gtalk" or "gchat" to its users, although Google does not endorse this name.

FEATURES   :

Ø Google Talk used XMPP to provide real-time extensible messaging and presence events, including offline messaging and voice mailing. Google Talk supported messaging with any service provider that supports the XMPP protocol.

Ø Google Talk was integrated into Gmail. Users can send instant messages to other Gmail users. As it works within a browser, the Google Talk client does not need to be downloaded to send instant messages to Gmail users.

Ø It is possible to place and receive phone calls from within gmail by using Google Talk. In order to receive calls, however, the user must upgrade to a full Google Voice account. Initially, users outside of the US cannot upgrade to a full Google Voice account and cannot receive phone calls in Gmail.

Ø Google introduced offline messaging to Google Talk. This allows users to send messages to their contacts, even if they are not signed in. They will receive the messages when they next go online even if the user who has sent it is offline. This only works between gmail-accounts though, and doesn't work between Google Talk servers and other XMPP servers.

 

GOOGLE EARTH OFFLINE SETUP

Google Earth is simply based on 3D maps, with the capability to show 3D buildings and structures (such as bridges), which consist of users' submissions using SketchUp, a 3D modeling  program software. In prior versions of Google Earth (before Version 4), 3D buildings were limited to a few cities, and had poorer rendering with no textures. Many buildings and structures from around the world now have detailed 3D structures; including (but not limited to) those in the United States, Canada, Australia, Ireland, India, Japan, United Kingdom, Germany, Pakistan and the cities, Amsterdam and Alexandria.

FEATURES  :

Ø Google Sky , a feature that was introduced in Google Earth  on August 22, 2007, and allows users to view stars and other celestial bodies. It was produced by Google through a partnership with the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, the science operations center for the Hubble Space Telescope.

Ø Google Street View provides 360° panoramic street-level views and allows users to view parts of selected cities and their surrounding metropolitan areas at ground level. When it was launched on May 25, 2007 for Google Maps, only five cities were included. It has since expanded to more than 40 U.S. cities, and includes the suburbs of many, and in some cases, other nearby cities. Recent updates have now implemented Street View in most of the major cities of Australia and New Zealand as well as parts of Canada, parts of South Africa, Denmark, Mexico, Japan, Norway, Finland, Spain, Sweden, France, the UK, Republic of Ireland, the Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal, Taiwan, and Singapore.

Ø The Google Ocean feature allows users to zoom below the surface of the ocean and view the 3D bathymetry beneath the waves. Supporting over 20 content layers, it contains information from leading scientists and oceanographers. On April 14, 2009, Google added underwater terrain data for the Great Lakes.

Ø It includes a separate globe of the planet Mars, that can be viewed and analysed for research purposes. The maps are of a much higher resolution than those on the browser version of Google Mars and it also includes 3D renderings of the Martian terrain.

Ø Google Earth version of  Google Moon which allows users to view satellite images of the Moon. It was announced and demonstrated to a group of invited guests by Google along with Buzz Aldrin  at the Newseum  in Washington, D.C.

 

 

  

CHROME OFFLINE SETUP

 

 

Google Chrome is a freeware web browser developed by Google that uses the WebKit layout engine until version 27 and, with the exception of its iOS releases, from version 28 and beyond the WebKit fork Blink. It was released as a beta version for Microsoft Windows on September 2, 2008, and as a stable public release on December 11, 2008. As of April 2013[update], according to StatCounter, Google Chrome has a 39% worldwide usage share of web browsers making it the most widely used web browser in the world. Net Applications, however, indicates that Chrome is only third when it comes to the size of its user base, behind Internet Explorer and Firefox.

FEATURES  :

Ø Google Chrome aims to be secure, fast, simple and stable. There are extensive differences from its peers in Chrome's minimalistic user interface, which is atypical of modern web browsers. For example, Chrome does not render RSS feeds. One of Chrome's strengths is its application performance and JavaScript processing speed, both of which were independently verified by multiple websites to be the swiftest among the major browsers of its time.

Ø Chrome allows users to synchronize their bookmarks and settings across all devices with the browser installed by sending and receiving data through a chosen Google Account, which in turn updates all signed-in instances of Chrome

Ø Chrome allows users to synchronize their bookmarks and settings across all devices with the browser installed by sending and receiving data through a chosen Google Account, which in turn updates all signed-in instances of Chrome

Ø The private browsing feature called Incognito mode prevents the browser from permanently storing any history information or cookies from the websites visited. Incognito mode is similar to the private browsing feature in other web browsers. Chrome was the second browser to implement this feature, after Safari.

Ø A multi-process architecture is implemented in Chrome  where, by default, a separate process is allocated to each site instance and plugin. This procedure is termed process isolation, and it prevents tasks from interfering with each other, raising security and stability.

Ø Chrome Web Store allows users to install web applications as extensions to the browser, although most of these function simply as links to popular web pages and/or games, but some of the apps like Springpad do provide extra features like offline access. The themes and extensions have also been tightly integrated into the new store, allowing users to search the entire catalog of Chrome extras.

 

 

ANY VIDEO CONVERTER

 

Any Video Converter is a video converter developed by AVC Labs. It is available in both a free and paid version. Any Video Converter Windows version has won the CNET Downloads 5 star award.

FEATURES  :

Ø The software converts most video files including AVI, FLV, MOV, MP4, MPG, M2TS, MTS, RMVB, AVCHD, MKV, WebM(V8), QT, WMV, VOB, 3GP, 3GPP2, DivX, and more into other formats such as AVI, MOV, MP4, FLV, WMV, MP3 and etc. The resulting output files can be transferred to an iPod, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, PSP, Samsung, HTC, Android, BlackBerry, Nokia, Xbox, Smartphones and etc.

Ø This freeware also performs functions such as downloading videos from online video-sharing sites such as YouTube, Nico, MetaCafe and etc. Users can edit videos as they like such as cutting, rotating, clipping, adding video effects, combining multiple videos into one file. Moreover, It also allows users to create HTML5 videos with embedding code ready to use for websites, burn videos to DVD or AVCHD DVD disc, boost video conversion speed up to 6X faster with CUDA acceleration

 

 

 

ADOBE AIR OFFLINE SETUP

 

Adobe Integrated Runtime, also known as Adobe AIR, is a cross-platform run-time system developed by Adobe Systems for building Rich Internet applications (RIA) using Adobe Flash, Apache Flex (formerly Adobe Flex), HTML, and Ajax, that can be run as desktop applications.

With AIR, Adobe intends to provide a versatile runtime-environment that allows existing Flash, ActionScript, or HTML and JavaScript code to construct Internet-based applications that have many of the characteristics of more traditional desktop-like programs. Adobe positions AIR as a browser-less runtime for RIAs that can be deployed onto the desktop, rather than as a full-fledged application framework. An application deployed in a browser does not require installation, while one deployed with AIR requires that the application be packaged, digitally signed, and installed on the user's local file system. This provides access to local storage and file systems, while browser-deployed applications are more limited in where and how data can be accessed and stored.

Adobe AIR applications can be built either with theAdobe Flex Framework, or without. The framework is an integrated collection of stylable Graphical User Interface, data manipulation and networking components, and applications built upon it are known as "Flex" applications. Applications built without the framework depend entirely on the developer's own skills and artistic abilities, and are commonly known as "pure ActionScript" projects.

In both methods, developers can access the full Flash Player set of functionalities, including text, vector graphics, bitmap graphics, video, audio, camera and microphone support, among others. Adobe AIR also includes additional features such as file system integration, native extensions, native desktop integration, and hardware integration with connected devices.

Adobe provides two ways of developing AIR applications in ActionScript:

§  Adobe Flash Builder (formerly Adobe Flex Builder)

§  Adobe Flash CS4 or newer

 

 

 

 

ADOBE READER 11 OFFLINE SETUP

Adobe Reader is a reader for users to view and print PDF files but has negligible PDF creation capabilities. Acrobat and Reader are widely used as a method of presenting information with a fixed layout similar to a paper publication.

The graphical user interface for desktop systems is carried over from version 10. Some new features include a completely redesigned PDF editing experience, exporting PDF files to Microsoft PowerPoint, touch-friendly capabilities for mobile devices, and integrated cloud services. LiveCycle Designer is no longer bundled (but remains a standalone product).
