Flagfox Add-on
      Hi, friends!
               Sometimes we want to know the websites location where they are hosted and some time their IP address. Sometimes we may open sites which may have malicious code unexpectedly which may cause a virus attack, then how to know whether a site is secure or not? Sometimes we may want to find similar sites. Sometimes we may share long URLs with our friends, but seeing long URLs may irritate your friends then you have to shorten them. But how? For doing all these things there is an Add-on for Firefox namely "Flagfox".


              
To add this Add-on to your browser, open Firefox browser and follow this link:  http://goo.gl/ONAd1.

Features:
                     After adding this add-on to your firefox you will notice a country flag  in address bar. If you move cursor on to the flag in address bar, it will shows us the IP address, Server location and Nationality of the domain. If you right click on the flag, it will show you a list of options.

What is Serialization?

Serialization or Marshalling:                        It is the process of converting data structure or object into Network or File or Database Supporting form. Deserialization or Unmarshalling:                       It is the opposite process to Serialization. It is the process of extracting object or data structure from Network or File or Database Supporting form. You may feel tough to understand these definitions. I'll explain you through an example.                 Once upon a time there was a son staying in Hyderabad and his family staying in a village which is very far from Hyderabad, it is famous for good Mangos.
