Turn your smart phone into a PC

It is more correct to call it Samsung DeX Station (hardware) that pairs with Samsung's Galaxy S8 phone to provide you a real desktop experience that you always wanted. Hear what VMware calls this: "Samsung DeX redefines what a smartphone can do to keep mobile workers productive with just their smartphones." Your Samsung Desktop would consist of a computer monitor, keyboard, mouse, Samsung Galaxy S8 and the DeX Station. Review the below image: As you can see in the above image, Microsoft is there with all its Office 365 products.  Microsoft's dream of entering the mobile world may still be realized although Windows Phone is near extinction.

Hangul, hwp), Hancell (Spreadsheet), and Hanshow (Presentation progr

svg in HTML5

SVG is variously described as  'part of HTML5 specification' or an HTML5 extension. In either case, I am very happy as I am a fan of SVG. In HTML documents you could embed an in-line SVG code. SVG in some cases appear superior to Canvas in HTML. SVG creates prefabricated graphics that is part of the documnet model which can be accessed by the ID for any event based action, where as the graphics for use in CANVAS needs to be created and rendered during page loading.
