Scientists Invent 30 Year Continuous Power Laptop Battery
2007-10-04 03:47:00
Your next laptop could have a continuous power battery that lasts for 30 years without a single recharge thanks to work being funded by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory. The breakthrough betavoltaic power cells are constructed from semiconductors and use radioisotopes as the energy source. As the radioactive material decays it emits beta particles that transform into electric power capable of fueling an electrical device like a laptop for years.Although betavoltaic batteries sound Nuclear they?re not, they?re neither use fission/fusion or chemical processes to produce energy and so (do not produce any radioactive or hazardous waste). Betavoltaics generate power when an electron strikes a particular interface between two layers of material. The Process uses beta electron emissions that occur when a neutron decays into a proton which causes a forward bias in the semiconductor. This makes the betavoltaic cell a forward bias diode of sorts, similar in some respects to a photovolta...

Inside of Windows Vista Service Pack 1
2007-09-02 05:52:00
"Now is the time and the time is now." This is the introduction Microsoft Product Manager Nick White tied to the company's first initiative designed to make public details about the first service pack for Windows Vista .Carrying somewhat of the weight of a slogan, the time reference is far away from the impulse built into the Wow. I don't know if you still remember but "Wow is Now" was made synonymous with the launch of Vista in late January 2007. Quite a limp Wow, outperformed in the Vista delivery by the impact of Apple's iPhone for example and a marketing campaign which failed to gain or even keep a healthy momentum. Seven months after the consumer launch of Windows Vista the Wow is referenced less and less having faded into the background, while the operating system is slowly grinding and eroding Windows XP from its dominant position on the operating system market instead of dislodging it as an obsolete and expired platform.Wow Reloaded, No Sooner than Next YearMicrosoft's se...

Ultimate Windows Vista ScreenSaver For your PC
2007-08-25 17:43:00
A top notch Windows Vista screensaver is coming to your desktop, not from Microsoft's Ultimate Extras website, but courtesy of the design firm Jackson Fish Market.You have been able to read recently of a new Microsoft search project and experiment dubbed Tafiti. Essentially, Tafiti is a marriage between Live Search and Silverlight and an interesting approach all the way. In terms of an alternative perspective over search, Tafiti offers users the Tree View. A fully animated tree environment with orbiting search results. And believe it or not, this is the best that Microsoft has to offer in terms of screensavers for Windows Vista since the launch of the operating system. Because the Live Search/Silverlight Tree View is designed to act as a dynamic desktop screensaver."In the simplest terms, the Tafiti tree view is a screensaver. We haven?t done the work (yet?) to wire it into the machines actual screensaver mechanism, but we think about it as a passive way to browse more deeply into ...

Erase Your Data Securely without Any Recovery option
2007-08-25 17:22:00
When you delete a file, it is not gone forever, and any file removed from the Recycle Bin can be easily recovered! The Windows delete function does not clear the space where the deleted file has been located but only marks an entry in the directory (folder) as deleted. All data and information about the file still remains on the disk and can be restored! Old data will be available until another file overwrites it (uses the same space on the disk). The only way to prevent data from being recovered is to overwrite it.I've seen tools that is able to wipe out hard drives entirely to prevent people from recovering any files and also tools that can delete a particular file and that file can't be recovered anymore. For the first time I am seeing an innovative FREE tool which is able to scan your hard drive and only make the recoverable files UNRECOVERABLE. Meaning it won't touch any of your existing files.Disk Redactor is a COMPLETE WIPE utility that lets you securely erase any old ( de...

Comparision of Windows Vista Home Basic vs. Home Premium vs. Business vs. U
2007-08-21 17:55:00
Microsoft applauded shipping in excess of 60 million Windows Vista licenses in the operating system's first six months of general availability. However, the Redmond company is right on track to correct this little slip up.Windows Vista will not continue to sell this well, at least not if Microsoft can help it. Just take a look at the handicapped comparison graphic included towards the bottom of this article, courtesy of the U.S. Vista Business official webpage. Now, in the past it has been demonstrated that Microsoft did not know its own operating system. That was of course in Canada, but still, it appears that ignorance is contagious and that state borders are no boundaries, or impediments.It's beyond me why Microsoft is doing itself a disservice, but the company does excel in putting together some Wow-less comparisons between its main editions. Case in point: Windows Vista Home Basic vs. Home Premium vs. Business vs. Ultimate. Well... as far as the accuracy, the compelling argum...

Lower CPU Usage automatically
2007-08-20 05:35:00
There are many times when a process will hog your CPU, such as when converting audio/video files, or working with compressed archives. Because these processes completely consume the CPU, your system becomes sluggish to respond and using the computer for other tasks becomes impossible while these processes are running.You either wait for the process to finish or kill the process if you urgently need to use the computer for other tasks. There is a better way than this two that is to lower the process priority of the tasks that's causing the high CPU usage. By default, all processes are at Normal priority. You can set it to Realtime, High, AboveNormal, Normal, BelowNormal and Low in Windows Task Manager. Problem is, when your computer is sluggish, it's tough to open up Windows Task Manager and set the process to Low.What you need is a program that can detect high CPU usage and automatically set it to Low priority and then set it back to Normal once it is no longer hogging on the CPU ...

Secure Your Remote Desktop Connection
2007-08-20 05:27:00
With all the emphasis on security for Remote Desktop for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, here's an easy way to secure Remote Desktop.Remote Desktop normally runs on port 3389. This is the port the Remote Desktop client connects to on default and this is the port hackers scan to find open Remote Desktop connections. By changing this port number, you essentially hide your Remote Desktop connection from hackers who scan port 3389. Then no one will be able to connect your computer through Remote Desktop unless they know the port it runs on.To change the port number that Remote Desktop uses, you must edit a registry key. The registry key you must edit is located at:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEM/CurrentContro lSet/Control/Terminal ServerWinStationsRDP-TcpThis key is stored in a hex value so you must use a decimal to hex conversion tool such as the built in windows calculator (choose your desired port number and convert it to hex before you update the key).You may need to reboot your comput...

Enable Remote Desktop Behind Firewall or Routers
2007-08-16 12:49:00
Systems administrators have many options for connecting to another Windows system and working with it as if they were sitting right at the keyboard. These include the Remote Desktop feature in Windows, as well as VNC and its remote control software derivatives, which often include features developed using VNC's code base.A recent VNC derivative is CrossLoop. CrossLoop deploys VNC in a way that makes it possible for any two PCs to talk to each other without an administrator or user having to change firewall settings or open ports on routers. This is done by using servers provided by CrossLoop to "kick-start" the connection between the two machines, which is done through a tunneling protocol secured with 128-bit Blowfish encryption.CrossLoop's workings are straightforward: Installation is lightweight and the program works on all versions of Windows, including Vista. If you run the program as a host, it generates a random per-session 12-digit access code, which you provide to whoever...

Prevent Windows XP Re-Activation
2007-08-16 11:07:00
The time may come that you'll need to reinstall your Windows XP,it could happen. Maybe you'll add a new motherboard or hard drive. Maybe you'll get constant errors and problems that just won't go away. Or perhaps you're a neat freak who wants to rid yourself of clutter and start fresh with a clean operating system. If you do reinstall Windows XP, then you'll need to re-activate it too?that is, unless you keep this tip handy ;-)See, the first time you activated XP it created a file called "wpa.dbl" that lives in the WINDOWSsystem32 folder. By creating a backup of this file on disk, you can simply put it back into the folder after reinstalling XP and avoid the whole re-activation hassle. Here's how...Go to My Computer then select your Hard Drive (usually drive C).Go to the WINDOWSsystem32 folder and scroll way down until you find the wpa.dbl file.Right-click and choose "Send To" then either Floppy Drive (make sure you have a disk in) or CD-R/RW.Now, when you reinstall Windows...

Hacking And Unlocking the IPhone: Guide

A CROATIAN HACKER under the handle Sassha published a guide in hackint0sh, a fast growing internet forum for all those lads that want to be fashionable in areas without AT&T Cingular service.This hack includes using your SIM card (has to be SuperSIM - V1, U types), SIM Reader/Writer, SilverCard and some nice files to download. Unlock work on computers equipped with both Mac OS (separate procedure) or Windows operating systems. After the unlock, the phone uses regular GSM or EDGE network for cellphone connectivity, or Wi-Fi connection point when EDGE connection is not available. However, there is just one small fallback - YouTube does not work. Given the limited number of results that you get on YouTube anyways, this does not seem to be a great loss.The funniest thing of them all is the fact that you have to use iTunes to activate the iPhone, while that service is not available in Croatia at all. This is due to the fact that Europeans have more strict regs about interoperability and ...

Proactive VOIP Security Monitoring
2007-08-09 18:19:00
Converged VoIP and data networks are costing enterprises a lot of money, but still they're left with one question: "Is it secure?"For Alphonse Edouard, IT vice president for Dune Capital Management, an investment firm, VoIP has become a cornerstone of business. So ensuring its security is imperative."For a great deal of what we do, voice is very important," Edouard said.Dune Capital Management started by deploying VoIP. "Then the 'work anywhere' concept came into play," he said.Dune needed a way to ensure call quality and to monitor the network to guarantee that it's secure."We all know VoIP is very susceptible to hackers," Edouard said. In the past, he has used QRadar from Q1 Labs to monitor flow data and network traffic. Eventually, he started to monitor VoIP quality of service (QoS). But as Dune Capital became more and more dependent on VoIP, the company needed to ensure that enough bandwidth was allotted and also had to find a way to monitor VoIP traffic separately from data...

VoIP bandwidth fundamentals Part II
2007-08-04 18:11:00
Calculating the bandwidth for a VoIP call is not difficult once you know the method and the factors to include. The chart below, "Calculating one-way voice bandwidth," demonstrates the overhead calculation for 20 and 40 byte compressed voice (G.729) being transmitted over a Frame Relay WAN connection. Twenty bytes of G.729 compressed voice is equal to 20 ms of a word. Forty bytes of G.729 compressed voice is equal to 40 ms of a word.The results of this method of calculation are contained in the next table, "Packet voice transmission requirements." The table demonstrates these points: * Bandwidth requirements reduce with compression, G.711 vs. G.729. * Bandwidth requirements reduce when longer packets are used, thereby reducing overhead. * Even though the voice compression is an 8 to 1 ratio, the bandwidth reduction is about 3 or 4 to 1. The overhead negates some of the voice compression bandwidth savings. * Compressing the RTP, UDP and IP headers (cRTP) is most valuable ...

Bandwidth requirements for Voice over IP can be a tricky beast to tame until you look at the method and factors involved. This guide investigates what bandwidth means for VoIP, how to calculate bandwidth consumption for a VoIP network and how bandwidth can be saved by using voice compression.After this some questions may arise in your mind like:What about bandwidth for VoIP?Voice over IP (VoIP) is the descriptor for the technology used to carry digitized voice over an IP data network. VoIP requires two classes of protocols: a signaling protocol such as SIP, H.323 or MGCP that is used to set up, disconnect and control the calls and telephony features; and a protocol to carry speech packets. The Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) carries speech transmission. RTP is an IETF standard introduced in 1995 when H.323 was standardized. RTP will work with any signaling protocol. It is the commonly used protocol among IP PBX vendors.An IP phone or softphone generates a voice packet every 10, 2...

VOIP Performance Testing Fundamentals Part II
2007-08-03 05:57:00
3. Analyze call quality with technical metricsOnce VoIP traffic is running in an accurately emulated virtual environment, the team can apply metrics such as mean opinion score (MOS) to pinpoint any specific places or times where voice quality is unacceptable. Typically, these trouble spots will be associated with observable network impairments -- such as delay, jitter and packet loss -- which can then be addressed with appropriate remedies.4. Validate call quality by listening to live callsTechnical metrics alone can be misleading, since the perception of call quality by actual end users is the ultimate test of VoIP success. So the virtual environment should be used to enable the team to validate firsthand the audio quality on calls between any two points on the network under all projected network conditions. Again, a call generator can be used so that testers can act as the "nth" caller at any location.5. Repeat as necessary to validate quality remediesA major advantage of a virtua...

VOIP Performance Testing Fundamentals Part I
2007-08-01 19:50:00
VoIP network performance testing can mean the difference between a VoIP system working at a high level QoS and a weak system that runs so poorly customers could take their business elsewhere. This guide discusses why it is important to run regular performance testing and some of the ways it can be done.Voice over IP (VoIP) technology offers a wide range of benefits -- including reduction of telecom costs, management of one network instead of two, simplified provisioning of services to remote locations, and the ability to deploy a new generation of converged applications. But no business can afford to have its voice services compromised. Revenue, relationships and reputation all depend on people being able to speak to each other on the phone with five 9's reliability.Thus, every company pursuing the benefits of VoIP must take steps to ensure that their converged network delivers acceptable call quality and non-stop availability. A virtual network test bed is particularly useful for ...

Improving VOIP Call Quality
2007-07-31 17:33:00
If the problem is echo and it is happening within your building ? return loss in your cable plant is the likely culprit ? you can buy an expensive echo canceller or have your cables reterminated and tested (generally FAR cheaper). If the problem is jitter and delay, the solution could be as simple as putting your voice equipment on a VLAN and increasing the priority at which those packets are transmitted. You will also want to look at a few other things like making sure that your subnet is not too large, that all of your devices handle QoS and that they are layer 3 devices.How can a business ensure VoIP quality of service (QoS)?The first step is to be sure that your routers and switches support QoS, because many of the older ones do not. Second you will want to be sure that your network is healthy. You should turn SNMP (V3) on and monitor your network for a period of time (ideally 30 days as this covers end of month processes and other high traffic times). Look for bit errors, retra...

The Simpsons Movie sparks spam blast
2007-07-31 17:23:00
Spammers are jumping on the success of The Simpsons Movie to trick e-mail users into validating their addresses, so they can then send them more spam.Since the launch of the movie on July 27 spammers have been sending messages with an embedded picture of Homer Simpson in his underwear. The text asks if the recipient plans to see the new movie and to fill out a related survey by following an embedded link. If the recipient clicks on the link, the Web site records the e-mail address ? now knowing that there is a valid user ? and sends the address more spam.The spam message also promises to award a prize to those who fill out the survey, according to antispam vendor SpamFighter, which `caught The Simpsons Movie spam in its filters.While this new spam blast uses a hot pop-culture topic to entice recipients, the purpose of the spam is a throwback to the early days of e-mail abuse.
