Next Year, 3.5 Inch Hard Disk Predicted Rare

The supply of hard disk drive (HDD) 3.5 inch for desktop and server began to shrink. Apparently the hard drive manufacturer surprised by strong demand abruptly to 3.5 hard drive "it.

According to Digitimes, the Taiwanese suppliers had predicted that there will be increasing demand to drive 2.5 "used in notebooks. Due to rapidly growing demand in notebooks this year, Western Digital (WD), Seagate, Hitachi, Toshiba and Samsung Electronics also increased production HDD 2.5 "him for notebooks.

But none of these producers who estimates that the desktop market will also rise rapidly. WD and Seagate is currently the two main suppliers of HDD 3.5 ". Together, they control more than 80 percent market share. And because both are busy focusing on the notebook, they do not increase production of its hard drive for desktop.

Analysts now predict that there will be scarcity of desktop hard disk drives in mid-2010. Of course, this deficiency will cause prices to rise.

New rules of Facebook

Facebook finally inaugurated their new rules about the privacy issues of control have been many protests over the last few months.

Before formalizing these new rules last week, Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook to send an open letter to all 350 million users. When he promises that there will be changes at Facebook.

computer hierarchy

Old method for comparing various computer classes are based on processing power. Analysts typically divide the computer into six categories: supercomputers, mainframes, midrange computers (mini computers and servers), workstations, notebooks, and PCs and various equipment.


Supercomputer

 The term does not refer to the supercomputer particular technology, but on the fastest computing machines are available in a period. Supercomputers usually handle the job very complicated for a series of very large data. Rather than just for processing and business applications, supercomputers typically run military and scientific applications, although its use for commercial applications, such as data mining, has increased. General supercomputer operates four to ten times faster than the next fastest computer classes.


Mainframe Computers

Although mainframe computers more and more regarded as another type of server, based on the sophistication scale performance and reliability, the mainframe remains a distinct class of system hardware and software features. Mainframe still popular in many large companies to komputansi broad applications and are accessed by thousands of users. Examples of mainframe applications include airfare reservation systems, payroll companies, and the calculation and reporting of student values.


Midrange Computers

Minicomputer also called, are relatively inexpensive, small, and compact, which perform the same function with mainframe computers, but in a more limited scope. Even the line between mini-computers to mainframes becomes less clear in terms of cost and performance. Minicomputer usually supports computer networks, allowing its users to share files, software, peripherals, and various other network resources. Minicomputer can provide flexibility for companies who do not want to spend money on IT in the form of mainframes that are less measurable.

Midrange Computer smaller is called the server. Servers are typically used to support the network, allowing users to share files, Software and other network equipment. Companies that have a great need for e-commerce website and have a very large often run the web and various e-commerce applications through several servers.


Workstation

The vendor computer workstations initially developed to provide a high level of performance required by the technicians. Thus, a workstation running the application of scientific, technical, financial and quite complicated. Workstations are usually based on RISC architecture (reduced instruction set computing) and provides high-speed calculations and high resolution graphics display. Computer is getting wide acceptance in the scientific community and recently in the business community.


PC

Pc became the dominant method to access workgroup applications. This computer is a system of ordinary microcomputers and general and that has become a standard tool for businesses, and more and more also for home. Computer is usually designed modular, with separate but connected monitor, keyboard and CPU.


Notebook

Microcomputers, notebooks are small, portable, and lightweight. Computer is designed for maximum comfort and convenience to carry, allowing access to processing power and data outside the office environment. It costs more than desktop for the same functionality.

panda antivirus for netbooks

Netbook / mini laptop is mostly using the atom processor lately very popular in many circles due to smaller and lighter than ordinary laptops and a cheaper price.
Performance of the Atom itself is more limited compared to other processors. Therefore, regular antivirus would be more burdensome than the performance of your netbook. Panda provides a solution to remove Panda Antivirus for Netbooks, which are created using the latest ultraportable technology very mild and does not burden the netbook performance. Antivirus uses TruPrevent technology and Collective Intelligence. Compatible with Windows 7.

windows file systems

Before formatting a volume or partition, consider the file system with which to format it. Windows 2000 and Windows XP support the NTFS file system, File Allocation Table (FAT), and FAT32. NTFS is the recommended file system for Windows 2000 and Windows XP because it supports several features that the other file systems do not, such as file and folder permissions, encryption, large volume support, and sparse file management. However, you must format the volume or partition as FAT if you plan to access files on that volume or partition from other operating systems, including MS-DOS, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Millennium Edition, and Windows NT 4.0.

Choose NTFS only if you are running Windows 2000 or Windows XP and you want to take advantage of NTFS features.

The following features are unique to NTFS:

• Compression
• Disk quotas
• Encryption
• Mount points
• Remote storage

In addition, NTFS is required on all dynamic disks and GUID partition table (GPT) disks.

mplayer

mplayer is a movie player for Linux (runs on many other platforms and CPU architectures, see the documentation). It plays most MPEG/VOB, AVI, ASF/WMA/WMV, RM, QT/MOV/MP4, Ogg/OGM, MKV, VIVO, FLI, NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg, FILM and RoQ files, supported by many native and binary codecs. You can watch VCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, DivX 3/4/5, WMV and even H.264 movies, too.

MPlayer supports a wide range of video and audio output drivers. It works with X11, Xv, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib, fbdev, AAlib, libcaca, DirectFB, Quartz, Mac OS X CoreVideo, but you can also use GGI, SDL (and all their drivers), VESA (on every VESA-compatible card, even without X11), some low-level card-specific drivers (for Matrox, 3dfx and ATI) and some hardware MPEG decoder boards, such as the Siemens DVB, Hauppauge PVR (IVTV), DXR2 and DXR3/Hollywood+. Most of them support software or hardware scaling, so you can enjoy movies in fullscreen mode.

MPlayer has an onscreen display (OSD) for status information, nice big antialiased shaded subtitles and visual feedback for keyboard controls. European/ISO8859-1,2 (Hungarian, English, Czech, etc), Cyrillic and Korean fonts are supported along with 12 subtitle formats (MicroDVD, SubRip, OGM, SubViewer, Sami, VPlayer, RT, SSA, AQTitle, JACOsub, PJS and our own: MPsub) and DVD subtitles (SPU streams, VOBsub and Closed Captions).

mencoder (MPlayer’s Movie Encoder) is a simple movie encoder, designed to encode MPlayer-playable movies (see above) to other MPlayer-playable formats (see below). It encodes to MPEG-4 (DivX/Xvid), one of the libavcodec codecs and PCM/MP3/VBRMP3 audio in 1, 2 or 3 passes. Furthermore it has stream copying abilities, a powerful filter system (crop, expand, flip, postprocess, rotate, scale, noise, RGB/YUV conversion) and more. gmplayer is MPlayer with a graphical user interface. It has the same options as MPlayer.

mail merge in office 2007

Use mail merge to create and print letters and other documents

Hide All

You use mail merge when you want to create a set of documents, such as a form letter that is sent to many customers or a sheet of address labels. Each letter or label has the same kind of information, yet the content is unique. For example, in letters to your customers, each letter can be personalized to address each customer by name. The unique information in each letter or label comes from entries in a data source.
The mail merge process entails the following overall steps:

1. Set up the main document. The main document contains the text and graphics that are the same for each version of the merged document. For example, the return address or salutation in a form letter.
2. Connect the document to a data source. A data source is a file that contains the information to be merged into a document. For example, the names and addresses of the recipients of a letter.
3. Refine the list of recipients or items. Microsoft Office Word generates a copy of the main document for each item, or record, in your data file. If your data file is a mailing list, these items are probably recipients of your mailing. If you want to generate copies for only certain items in your data file, you can choose which items (records) to include.
4. Add placeholders, called mail merge fields, to the document. When you perform the mail merge, the mail merge fields are filled with information from your data file.
5. Preview and complete the merge. You can preview each copy of the document before you print the whole set.

panda usb vaccine

The free Panda USB Vaccine allows users to vaccinate their PCs in order to disable AutoRun completely so that no program from any USB/CD/DVD drive (regardless of whether they have been previously vaccinated or not) can auto-execute.
The free Panda USB Vaccine also can be used on individual USB drives to disable its AUTORUN.INF file in order to prevent malware infections from spreading automatically. When applied on a USB drive, the vaccine permanently blocks the AUTORUN.INF file, preventing it from being read, created, deleted or modified. Once applied it effectively disables Windows from automatically executing any malicious file that might be stored in that particular USB drive. The drive can otherwise be used normally and files (even malware) copied to/from it, but they will be prevented from opening automatically.
Please take into account that vaccinating a USB drive is a non reversible operation and under some very unlikely conditions some applications could stop working. In any case if you do not have an AUTORUN.INF file in your USB drive it’s completely safe to vaccinate it.
Vaccinating NTFS file system formatted USB keys is supported by this program version, but this is an experimental feature, use at your own risk. It’s recommended to backup your USB key before vaccinating it.

autorun.inf

The Microsoft Windows Operating System uses the AUTORUN.INF file from removable drives in order to know which actions to perform when a new external storage device, such as a USB drive or CD/DVD, is inserted into the PC. The AUTORUN.INF file is a configuration file that is normally located in the root directory of removable media and contains, among other things, a reference to the icon that will be shown associated to the removable drive or volume, a description of its content and also the possibility to define a program which should be executed automatically when the unit is mounted.

The problem is that this feature is used by malware in order to spread to other computers infecting them as soon as a new USB drive is inserted into a new computer. What the malware does is copying a malicious executable in the drive and modifying the AUTORUN.INF file so that Windows opens the malicious file silently as soon as the drive is mounted. The most recent example of this is the Conficker worm which, in addition to spreading via the network, also spreads via USB drives.

Windows 7

Windows 7 (formerly codenamed Blackcomb and Vienna) is the latest version of Microsoft Windows, a series of operating systems produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, netbooks, tablet PCs and media center PCs.

Windows 7 was released to manufacturing on July 22, 2009, with general retail availability set for October 22, 2009, less than three years after the release of its predecessor, Windows Vista. Windows 7’s server counterpart, Windows Server 2008 R2, is slated for release at about the same time.

Unlike its predecessor, which introduced a large number of new features, Windows 7 is intended to be a more focused, incremental upgrade to the Windows line, with the goal of being fully compatible with applications and hardware with which Windows Vista is already compatible.[5] Presentations given by Microsoft in 2008 focused on multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements. Some applications that have been included with prior releases of Microsoft Windows, including Windows Calendar, Windows Mail, Windows Movie Maker, and Windows Photo Gallery, will not be included in Windows 7; some will instead be offered separately as part of the free Windows Live Essentials suite.

Bing search engine

Bing (formerly Live Search, Windows Live Search, and MSN Search) is the current web search engine (advertised as a "decision engine") from Microsoft. Bing was unveiled by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer on May 28, 2009 at the All Things Digital conference in San Diego. It went fully online on June 3, 2009, with a preview version released on June 1, 2009. By August 2009, Bing had gained 9.3 percent of the United States Internet search market. However, by September, StatCounter stated that Bing's share of the US search market in September had fallen by almost one percentage point to 8.51%. Comscore claimed otherwise, stating that Bing's growth had held steady in September 2009, gaining 0.1 percent of the total United States Internet Search Market representing a market share of 9.4 percent.in October 2009 Bing's search share increased to 9.9%. Bing as a brand is also an attempt to eliminate the confusion caused by Microsoft’s “Windows Live” branding. Bing is now everything “search” related, whereas Windows Live encompasses the remnants of Microsoft’s consumer software products.

 

 

Office 2010

Microsoft Office 2010, codenamed Office 14, is the successor of Microsoft Office 2007, a productivity suite for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.

https (hypertext transfer protocol secure)

Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is a combination of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol with the SSL/TLS protocol to provide encryption and secure identification of the server. HTTPS connections are often used for payment transactions on the World Wide Web and for sensitive transactions in corporate information systems.

The main idea of HTTPS is to create a secure channel over an insecure network. This ensures reasonable protection from eavesdroppers and man-in-the-middle attacks, provided that adequate cipher suites are used and that the server certificate is verified and trusted.
The trust inherent in HTTPS is based on major certificate authorities which come pre-installed in browser software (this is equivalent to saying "I trust certificate authority (e.g. VeriSign/Microsoft/etc.) to tell me who I should trust"). Therefore an HTTPS connection to a website can be trusted if and only if all of the following are true:

1. The user trusts the certificate authority to vouch only for legitimate websites without misleading names.
2. The website provides a valid certificate (an invalid certificate shows a warning in most browsers), which means it was signed by a trusted authority.
3. The certificate correctly identifies the website (e.g. visiting https://somesite and receiving a certificate for "Somesite Inc." and not "Shomesite Inc."
4. Either the intervening hops on the internet are trustworthy, or the user trusts the protocol's encryption layer (TLS or SSL) is unbreakable by an eavesdropper.

As opposed to HTTP URLs which begin with "http://" and use port 80 by default, HTTPS URLs begin with "https://" and use port 443 by default.

HTTP is insecure and is subject to man-in-the-middle and eavesdropping attacks which can let attackers gain access to website accounts and sensitive information. HTTPS is designed to withstand such attacks and is secure (except for old deprecated versions of SSL).
