Samsung Super AMOLED Plus Solves Pix Problem

The company has done this through using RealStripe technology meaning that the grainy colours that appear on screens of LCD's, Plasma and CRT no longer exist.

This is because they usually use one red, green and blue subpixel per pixel.

However, the Super AMOLED Plus, which was announced at CES in January,  will banish the imperfections to give a 50 percent boost in the subpixel count, claim the Taiwanese makers.

This means there will be 12 subpixels instead of 8, helping to make picture images sharper and more defined.

This screen innovation is now available on its newly released 4.3 inch and 4.5 inch Smartphones, which includes the soon to be released Galaxy S II, and is said to be available on devices in the second half of the year.

Web design involves the structure

Web design involves the structure of the website including the information architecture (navigation schemes and naming conventions), the layout or the pages (wireframes or page schematics are created to show consistent placement of items including functional features), and the conceptual design with branding.

Web Hosting

Freewebsblog

On November 14, 2008, Freewebs changed its name to Webs, but users' URLs remained in the freewebs.com domain unless they chose to change over. Years after the name change from Freewebs to Webs, new users automatically have the domain webs.com. The domainname.webs.com is the domain for every site unless the user chooses to pay money and buy their own domain for use on Webs. Webs offers two types of web hosting, one for experienced website makers and one for first time / less experienced site builders. Less experienced users can choose from a variety of "widgets" and premade site layouts. More experienced users can choose the HTML way and avoid Webs' ads that come with premade layouts which will, in turn, appear at the bottom rather than in the middle. It is important to note that once a user has signed up for/switched over to an HTML account, he/she cannot revert to the 'site builder' web hosting option.

Webs only offers FTP access to paying subscribers who do not use the site builder.
