Difference between Bluetooth and Infrared Technology
2007-11-06 16:31:00
Infrared technology is what most TV remotes use. The distance an infrared signal can travel varies based on the strength of the remote, but is usually less than 50 feet for household electronics. In order for an infrared signal to be detected, there must be a direct line of sight between the transmitter (remote) and the receiver (TV). If there is a wall or large object between them, the signal will not pass through it. Bluetooth , on the other hand, uses a radio frequency, which allows transmission through walls and other objects. The standard range of a Class 3 Bluetooth device is about 30 ft., which makes it ideal for syncing PDAs with computers, using wireless cell phone headsets, and enabling handsfree cell phone use inside Bluetooth-enabled automobiles. Because Bluetooth technology is based on a standard 2.4 GHz frequency, different Bluetooth devices can typically communicate with each other, regardless of the manufacturer. Most infrared devices only work with proprietary equipm...

Monster.com hit by Personal Data Attack
2007-11-01 12:46:00
US recruitment firm Monster .com has been hit by an attack that has compromised over 1.6 million pieces of information, including personal data. The attack follows warnings that recruitment sites are a rich target for identity thieves. The employers’ section of the recruitment website has been broken into by a program which then harvested 1.6 million pieces of information and stored them somewhere the people behind the hack could access them, according to security firm Symantec. Some Monster users have received emails pretending to be from Monster which encourage them to download software they say is a recruitment tool. It is in fact malicious software which encrypts the information on their computers and demands a ransom for it to be unlocked. Symantec said that the same hacker group may be behind both sets of activity. “We have informed Monster.com of the compromised Recruiter accounts so they can be disabled,” said Symantec’s exposure of the problems. “To protect your id...

Best Extensions for FireFox 2
2007-11-01 12:40:00
IE Tab Extremely useful for those sites that require Internet Explorer and for testing purposes, this add-on loads any Web page as IE would display it, in the Firefox browser. A simple button in the Firefox status bar quickly and easily switches sites to IE and back. You also can specify some sites to always open with IE Tab. Google Notebook Google Notebook is very similar to Clipmarks, but has better Firefox integration. It also works in IE6. As with Clipmarks, the user manually extracts text and images out of the page - but this information is unstructured. Google Notebook has had mixed reviews so far, but we think Google is currently putting in resources to improve it. Browster Browster is a very cool add-on that enhances your browsing experience - for example mousing over a link gives you a preview of the website. It enables you to speed up your browsing experience and can save a lot of clicks in the long run. It does this by automatically pre-fetching links. It’s a free add-...

Where Does Spam Go? CA Finds Out For You.
2007-10-31 01:26:00
Ever wonder what would happen if you just took a chance, made that leap of faith, and bought something from a spam email? If your answer is no; good for you. But since curiosity has killed more cats than it’s saved, there must be a few foolhardy souls that really think that lucrative stock quotes arrive unsolicited in your email. (Hey, it could happen!)But aside from the “Just Say No to Spam ” campaigns that have been drilled into our heads since someone first plunked us down in front of a keyboard, there aren’t many comprehensive tests to see just how far the rabbit hole descends. So I found it interesting that the brave souls at Computer Associates (CA) decided to give it a whirl.

Adjust LCD Brightness From Command Line
2007-10-31 01:12:00
As many other Ubuntu users several days ago I’ve upgraded my Feisty to Gutsy at my Dell Inspiron 1501.Unfortunately many things that worked for me in Feisty doesn’t work in Gutsy just after upgrading. Among them are: suspend/hibernate and brightness adjustment. At this moment I’m trying to get these features working and certainly share results here but not workable brightness adjustment really disturbed me. So, until I didn’t find a solution how to adjust LCD brightness with keyboard, there is nice workaround: execute the following command with root rights (sudo -s to get it): echo -n 100 > /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness This will make you LCD screen as bright as possible and you can proceed with your work (like me ). To lower brightness just replace 100 with another value like 62 and watch the results. Hope it helps!

No More Bunch Of Keys
2007-10-31 00:41:00
The Keyport is a great new device that comes with six blank keys which should be able to be cut into any shape that is required, though I fail to see how this will work, because different makes of lock have different styles of key, but there you go! Each key is retractable into the case, which should mean that you will never have to carry around a bunch of keys in your pocket ever again. This is going to be a limited run of around 5000 units, so you had better get in there fast. The Keyport will come in a choice of colours, pink, sliver, black and blue and is made from stainless steel. Priced at $295 plus $75 for shipping.

Unusal Finger Mouse
2007-10-31 00:40:00
This device can be used with any computer including laptops; it plugs into the USB port and attaches to the finger with a ring like attachment. From that position the controls are operated by the thumb, which is probably going to take a bit of getting used to, but once mastered it could be very easy and accurate to use. However there may be a bit of finger wobble if it does not fit to good, i.e. either too big or too small. Features: USB interface, Plug-and-Play, no installation needed. No mouse pad is required, just slide on any surface. Ergonomical design - reduce fatigue effectively Real hardware resolution 1200dpi - better buy for professional designers and game fans. Standard 3 buttons - left key, right key, scroll button included Digital encoder technology, operate precisely, prevent faulty movement effectively Textile coating cable (not rubber coating) - enhance free and easy movement Specifications: Operation voltage: DC 5V Button dynamics pressure: 60g+/-5g Dimension: appr...

TROJON SOURCE CODE
2007-10-29 14:09:00
Writing a Trojan is a lot easier than most people think. All it really involves is two simple applications both with fewer than 100 lines of code. The first application is the client or the program that one user knows about. The second is the server or the actual “trojan” part. I will now go through what you need for both and some sample code. Server The server is the Trojan part of the program. You usually will want this to be as hidden as possible so the average user can’t find it. To do this you start by using Code : VB Private Sub Form_Load() Me.Visible = False End Sub This little bit of code makes the program invisible to the naked eye. Now we all know that the task manager is a little bit peskier. So to get our application hidden from that a little better we make our code look like this. Code: VB Private Sub Form_Load() Me.Visible = False App.TaskVisible = False End Sub So now, we have a program that is virtually invisible to the average user, and it only took...

VISTA-Bill Gates Bad Luck
2007-10-28 22:40:00
News is Majority of Bussiness people will not move to Vista , due to risk of security. An article on the Computerworld site quotes polling results from a potentially-divisive PatchLink survey. The poll shows that the majority of enterprise customers feel there are no compelling security enhancements in Windows Vista, that they have no plans to migrate to it in the near term and that many will ‘either stick with the Windows they have, or turn to Linux or Mac OS X’. A majority, 87%, said they would stay with their existing version of Windows.
