An interface is an abstract entity of a component of software. In information technology, an interface is a level of interconnection. This interconnection may be between a network and a terminal or between two networks (Kendall, 1999). User interfaces are the means which connect the people with computer programs or devices. These interfaces should be transparent and adaptable to their user.

The interfaces should be transparent and adaptable because with these properties human contacts are not required. This helps the users to afford less cost and collect of new information about the customers. The transparent interface also helps in the growth of its value to better meet the customers' need. The transparent and adaptable interface helps to improve many transactions, without any involvement of the operators. These interfaces help the users to handle voice recognition and speak several languages (Why interfaces need to be transparent and adaptable to their users? 2003).

The adaptation quality of the interface makes them adaptable automatically according to the skill level of users. These interfaces have the quality of recording the transactions, which the human beings cannot do. Thus, the interfaces with adaptability and transparency are very helpful for the users.

A) The given article is about a new technology developed by Apple.com. The new technology is based on software. This software enables the 802.11n Wi-If technology. According to the article, Apple was a shipping Mac, with the hardware to support 802.11n. The problem was that the draft of the 802.11n was unable to develop the software required by the company. But with this new technology, the draft specification is completed and the software can make the 802.11n hardware. This new technology provides great network ranges and high speed wireless connection. The other products of Apple like Apple TV product also use 802.11n chip. Thus, the given technology ...
