REST SOAP Assumes a point-to-point communication model–not usable for distributed computing environment where message may go through one or more intermediaries Designed to handle distributed computing environments Minimal tooling/middleware is necessary. Only HTTP support is required Requires significant tooling/middleware support URL typically references the resource being accessed/deleted/updated The content of the message typically decides the operation e.g. doc-literal services Not reliable – HTTP DELETE can return OK status even if a resource is not deleted Reliable Formal description standards not in widespread use. WSDL 1.2, WADL are candidates. Well defined mechanism for describing the interface e.g. WSDL+XSD, WS-Policy Better suited for point-to-point or where the intermediary does not play a significant role Well suited for intermediated services No constraints on the payload Payload must comply with the SOAP schema Only the most well established standards apply e....

We can be sure that mosquitoes are at least 95 million year old on this earth.   On Oct 15 th   2013, it was reported that a unique 46-million-year-old mosquito fossil with a belly full of dried blood has been found in a Montana riverbed, US researchers said Monday. Cutting-edge instruments detected blood in her abdomen, but just what creature that blood came from is a mystery since DNA cannot be extracted from a fossil that old. While far from the oldest known mosquito fossil - that honor goes to a 95-million-year-old mosquito in amber in Myanmar.   Compare to that humans have spent less time on this planet. It is estimated that the first members of the human family (hominins) lived in Africa about 6 or 7 million years ago. Fossil evidence suggests that modern humans evolved in East Africa around 200,000 years ago.   However this is all based on fossilized evidence so we can never be sure if mosquitoes really existed before humans did.   Source NDTV  ...

A 32-bit processor can only handle access to up-to 4GB of memory, a 64-bit processor can handle much more of course. However, Apple's new 64-bit chip in iPhone 5s only has 1GB of RAM -- so being able to process data from more than 4GB of memory is essentially not helping much. It will likely make a difference in the company's iPads before it matters much in the iPhone as they possess much more processing power and memory. This move is actually a part of a larger strategy from Apple to position its mobile operating system.
