China unicom and China mobile said that they plan to offer consumers a SIM card based on the NFC (near field communication) technology. Be responsible for making global NFC standard GSM association said on Tuesday, China unicom and China mobile will support the NFC. Before this, the global has been 43 home mobile operators promise will support based on the SIM card NFC services and products.

Because of China’s mobile registered users as high as 940 million, more than the sum of Europe and the United States, so the popularity of the NFC is very important. China mobile and China mobile has 800 million users in.

The mobile industry in the asia-pacific region is in the lead. GSM association and A.T. Kearney consulting company jointly issued Tuesday report showed that the global mobile registered users at the end of the year will reach to 6 billion, of which half will be located at the Asia Pacific region. The movement of the asia-pacific region registered users to 2015, in the global mobile flow of the than will be as high as 40%. China mobile in the Asia Pacific region registered users, followed by India and Indonesia.

NFC technology can phones into mobile wallet, only need to cellular phone in a special card reader sway once before, can complete the payment.

China mobile has 633 million registered users, is the world’s first big mobile operators. The company said in a statement, capable of large user groups to promote the popularity of the NFC.

China unicom is has 188 million registered users. The company also said in a statement, want to ensure that NFC technology in different between operators interoperate, user-friendly roaming to any place.

Although NFC technology is generally recognized as a safe way to pay, but this technology can increase the users and the car safety, and at the same time help users keep electronic notes and coupons. Operators hope will NFC technology into the SIM card, rather than only install on your phone.

Google has just announced that it is now able to crawl content loaded by asynchronous requests in many situations.

Love it or hate it, JavaScript is rapidly being adopted by developers to improve the usability of the websites that they build. Many high profile websites are using it to perform acynchronous requests after the page has loaded. Google realised that simply reading static content is no longer adequate for providing the most relevant search results for users.

Google has added a post on the Webmaster Central Blog explaining the new functionality and how to take advantage of it. In order to generate an accurate instant previews in search results and to correctly index all content on the page, Googlebot will execute any JavaScript code blocks which send an XMLHttpRequest. While previous workarounds (such as the hashbang hack used by Twitter and Facebook) worked with carefully-crafted GET requests to provide a non-AJAX snapshot of a page to search engines, Googlebot is now able to perform both GET and POST AJAX requests itself. According to the blog post, only automatic requests are currently being executed and not those which are performed as a result of user action.

Just before the announcement, Digital Inspiration noticed that Facebook comments on TechCrunch were being indexed. Prior to Googlebot’s new functionality, searching Google for the content of these comments wouldn’t have returned the article that they were attached to. These changes should also allow other third party commenting platforms such as Disqus to be properly indexed as well.

Note that restricting search engines’ access to any of the files needed to perform the request, such as an external JavaScript file or the file that is actually being opened by the request, will break Googlebot’s ability to index the content. Developers and website owners will need to ensure that their robots.txt is configured correctly and they haven’t left a stray robots meta tag in any required files that is blocking search engines.

Intel has revealed particulars about its DX79SI Extreme Series Sandy Bridge-E motherboard on its website a bit earlier than anyone expected.

According to the product brief, the board will be supporting both AMD Crossfire and Nvidia SLI configurations via three PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots, include eight DIMM slots, two Firewire and 14 USB 2.0 ports, as well as two SATA 6.0 Gb/s and four SATA 3.0 Gb/s connectors.
