2007-12-02 04:30:00
Skype has released a New beta version for Mac OS X. It contains the usual hot fixes and Bug Fixes but there are some really good stuff as well. Mos prominent are;Leopard compatible – if you have the latest Mac OS X 10.5 then you can use Skype with confidence. Better video resolution – your video conversations are now set at a whopping 640 x 480 pixels by default with up to 25 frames per second. If your webcam can handle this resolution you’ll soon be appearing in an improved and bigger format on friends screens. (If the receiver is using a pre-2.7 version of Skype for Mac, or if their machine cannot handle 640x480 video resolution (like G4 or G5 Macs that are slower than 1.25 GHz), the sender’s Skype software will scale the video feed down to 320x240 pixels (or even 160x120, if needed).)But if you’d rather stick with public versions Skype that have a lot of beta wrinkles ironed out, we’ve just issued a Leopard-friendly hotfix to the public version of Skype 2.6 for...

Remember the story about Skype ditching some users in UK, business and personal, who happened to have 0207 prefix, which Skype was very Sorry (Not!) about. It seems that it was a purely an economic decision, but it is pittance compared to what Skype and Ebay is handling these days.But another company has seized the opportunity, and come forward to help those customers that have economic bindings to those numbers. It will make VoIPFONE, the company offering to rescue the users, very dear.In an statement, one of the UK’s largest VOIP operators, Voipfone , has announced that they are offering to transfer Skype numbers onto their own network entirely free of charge. Those who take up the offer will also discover that once they have switched over they will pay less than they currently do via Skype.Colin Duffy is the Chief Executive Officer of Voipfone and he said,“This must be distressing, expensive and inconvenient times for all Skype customers with 0207 numbers.

This extension is defined in RFC 4976.Message Session Relay Protocol (MSRP) is a protocol for transmitting a series of related instant messages in the context of a session. Message sessions are treated like any other media stream when set up via a rendezvous or session creation protocol such as the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). MSRP Sessions are themselves defined in RFC 4975.

Eavesdropping Is Possible On Cisco IP Phones
2007-12-01 01:55:00
Cisco confirms that an attacker with valid Extension Mobility authentication credentials could cause a Cisco Unified IP Phone configured to use the Extension Mobility feature to transmit or receive a Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) audio stream. This ability can be exploited to perform a remote eavesdropping attack. All Cisco IP Phones that support the Extension Mobility feature are vulnerable. For this attack to be possible, several conditions need to be satisfied: The internal web server of the IP phone must be enabled. The web server is enabled by default.The IP phone must be configured to use the Extension Mobility feature, which is not enabled by default.The attacker must possess or obtain valid Extension Mobility authentication credentials. Extension Mobility authentication credentials are not tied to individual IP phones. Any Extension Mobility account configured on an IP phone's Cisco Unified Communications Manager/CallManager (CUCM) server can be used to perform an e...

Google Will Bid in FCC Spectrum Auction

According to the following news release and the blog post "Official Google Blog: Who's going to win the spectrum auction? Consumers." Google is on the way to make it's strides on the air waves of open spectrum.Just as the weblog post says, consumers stand to win. The fact like ever so tightly closed entities like Verizon coming out with open networks for any device, just did not come about by chance or Verizon seeing the light. Verizon even tried to stop open spectrum all together by taking FCC to court over the issue. It is the pressure build up by all these open activities and somewhat to iPhone activity, made Verizon to make differences.I think this is a very good move by Google, and the up coming Android base Google Phone s will be changing the mobile telecom world in USA.
