REST is very easy to understand and is extremely approachable, but does lack standards and is considered an architectural approach. In comparison, SOAP is an industry standard with a well-defined protocol and a set of well-established rules to be implemented, and it has been used in systems both big and small.<br />

Go to the Add/Remove Programs control panel and attempt to repair the version of the .NET Framework that is causing problems on the system<br />
<br />
2. If a repair does not help, then go to the Add/Remove Programs control panel and attempt to uninstall the version of the .NET Framework that is causing problems on the system<br />
<br />
3. If you are attempting to uninstall the .NET Framework 2.0 and it fails, download and run the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Registration Correction Tool (also named clwireg.zip and described in more detail in this blog post), and then try to uninstall the .NET Framework 2.0 again. If you are encountering errors uninstalling a version of the .NET Framework other than 2.0, you can skip this step because this tool only works for the .NET Framework 2.0.<br />
<br />
4. If uninstall still fails from Add/Remove Programs, download the .NET Framework cleanup tool and choose to remove the version of the .NET Framework that is causing problems on your system<br />
<br />
Download and install the version of the .NET Framework that you cleaned up in step 2 or 3. Here are some download links for various versions of the .NET Framework:<br />
<br />
.NET Framework 1.0<br />
.NET Framework 1.1<br />
.NET Framework 2.0<br />
.NET Framework 2.0 with SP1<br />
.NET Framework 2.0 with SP2<br />
.NET Framework 3.0<br />
.NET Framework 3.0 with SP1<br />
.NET Framework 3.5<br />
.NET Framework 3.5 with SP1<br />
.NET Framework 4<br />

An Android developer by the name of redphx sent us an email today, introducing us to APK Downloader. It's a Chrome extension which allows users to download application APK files directly from the Android Market to their desktop.</p> <p>In order to use the APK Downloader extension, you'll need the latest version of Chrome on your computer. Then you will need to disable the browser's SSL error warnings, enter your device ID number, email and password. Your email and password are stored locally on your computer and are only used when the Chrome extension tries to grab the Android Market cookie to download the APK file from the Android Market. Once your setup is complete, simply browse the Android Market with your Chrome browser on your PC, find an app you would like to download, and click the APK Downloader icon which appears in the address bar when you are on the application page.</p> <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="630" height="379" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/rL6793saxXg?rel=0&hd=1" frameborder="0"></iframe> <p>At first, we couldn't think of any real reason to use APK Downloader, but then we realized that there are plenty of Kindle Fire users who do not have access to many of the applications that are only available on the Android Market, plus there are many apps which are made available only for specific devices. Come on, do developers really think that all those Tegra games can not be played on devices with Qualcomm chips?</p> <p>I don't think the APK Downloader extension for Chrome is going to change anybody's life, but it will be handy tool for those of you who have devices with limited access to the Android Market and simply want to enjoy their applications on as many device as possible.</p> <p>Give APK Downloader extension a try and let us know what you think.</p> <p><iframe src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~ah/f/df0jpjsa533ftefvohduepst0s/300/250?ca=1&fh=280#http%3A%2F%2Fandroidandme.com%2F2012%2F02%2Fapplications%2Fdownload-android-applications-on-your-pc-directly-from-the-android-market%2F%3Futm_source%3Drss%26utm_medium%3Drss%26utm_campaign%3Ddownload-android-applications-on-your-pc-directly-from-the-android-market" width="100%" height="280" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"></iframe></p><div> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/androidandme?a=Su6Ca6EPWUs:k_xqpxWd3T4:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/androidandme?i=Su6Ca6EPWUs:k_xqpxWd3T4:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/androidandme?a=Su6Ca6EPWUs:k_xqpxWd3T4:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/androidandme?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/androidandme?a=Su6Ca6EPWUs:k_xqpxWd3T4:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/androidandme?i=Su6Ca6EPWUs:k_xqpxWd3T4:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/androidandme?a=Su6Ca6EPWUs:k_xqpxWd3T4:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/androidandme?i=Su6Ca6EPWUs:k_xqpxWd3T4:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/androidandme?a=Su6Ca6EPWUs:k_xqpxWd3T4:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/androidandme?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/androidandme?a=Su6Ca6EPWUs:k_xqpxWd3T4:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/androidandme?i=Su6Ca6EPWUs:k_xqpxWd3T4:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/androidandme/~4/Su6Ca6EPWUs" height="1" width="1"></div> <br> <div style="margin: 0px 2px;
