Beware the small players, may get a deathblow by the biggies!

2009 has already seen the bumpy rise in the two platforms, the Web and mobile, making them the key app dev technologies for the enterprise and 2010 is going to heat it up further as the convergence of the two will give developers more to work upon.

Who will be the winners!

In the big fight, Google is likely to pull the tug-of-war rope from Microsoft to its side. Any guesses who takes the credit? Yes, it’s Chrome! Looking at the fast-pace development of Google, Chrome can be foreseen as a fully cross-platform browser by the year end, at par with Windows, Mac OS X and Linux ports. The rise in popularity is imminent with the recent addition of extension support. To dig out Microsoft’s base and beat Internet Explorer, though, is still far a reach!

No resting for Microsoft either! Announcement of SharePoint 2010 as the spiritual successor to Lotus Notes/Domino for rapid business application development has already created a buzz – a serious bid though as only this time it’s all based on Web technologies. Even if there is no vendor lock-in, many small businesses are going to find it beneficial and employ it.

And the losers!

It would be difficult for Mozilla to beat Chrome with its Firefox and give Google a run for its money if its small but vocal pool of users is not served up to the expectations and the complaint graph takes a sharp rise. It has to push itself really hard before the debate moves from the message boards on to the blogs or else it will soon be looked down upon by the users who are mesmerized with its dramatic growth rate so far.

In haze…

If not the full version of Internet Explorer 9, Microsoft will at least manage to come out with its Technology Preview release before the year ends. The big player successfully uses this old trick of letting the cat out of the bag for its projects that are still in pipeline and baffling the competitors, as it did with Windows Vista. The long-back-introduced Gazelle project, I expect, will be brought back to light.

Google may be a winner as far as the web platform is concerned; however, the mobile platform is still not its forte. Google’s Android phones are still far from bringing down the popularity of iPhones, though it promises to provide the customers newer models in 2010 in order to gain a wider customer base.

Looking at this, Apple surely has a reason to plan a preemptive strike and this may call for dropping its exclusive arrangement with AT&T and expand iPhones’ carrier network. Preferring Android over iPhone seems, however, to take time for even the die-hard Verizon customers. Let’s see if Android 2.1 (or later) does this job!

The advent of online stock trading software in the late 1990`s – early 2000`s precipitated a surge in stock trading the likes of which had never been seen before. Suddenly, trading in stocks became accessible – and profitable – to almost anyone who tried it.

The days of manually creating charts with ruler and pencil had gone forever; replaced by online technical charting services and analytical tools.

Live stock quotes, once upon a time `only available for a huge monthly fee to the wealthy few` had become a free inclusion on the home pages of countless online stock trading web sites.

The technological innovations within the trading sector rapidly advanced to the point where today, online stock trading software is not only easily affordable – even for the budget-minded trader… but is also equally easy to use.

There`s a vast number of specialist trading software programs on the market, catering for every possible level of experience. Obviously, I can`t cover them all here. However, the following five trading tools from Ashkon Software are classic examples of what to look for in online stock trading software and should all be given serious consideration for inclusion in your trading arsenal.

Number 1 Stock Predictor

Is an advanced stock charting and investment strategy performance analysis software package for technical traders. It allows you to easily display several technical indicators for a single stock on the same chart, maintain predefined lists of stocks and test your own investment strategies. Stock Predictor has more than a dozen embedded technical indicators and over four hundred investment strategies.

Another great feature of Stock predictor that I particularly like is the one-click buy and sell function that gives you a unique opportunity to apply a trading strategy to a given stock and view a cumulative and summarized performance of your investment at any selected point in time.

Finally, I`d like to point out that Stock Predictor has a built-in data feed and no subscription fees. In other words, you`ll never need to pay for your charts again!

Stock Predictor allows you to print and plot technical historical stock charts, apply and construct analog trading strategies, analyze the trading strategies` performances, and give recommendations to buy, avoid, hold or sell.

Stock Ticker Application Bar

This handy little example of online stock trading software has been designed for continuous retrieval of stock quotes through the Internet. It lives at the top or bottom of your computer screen and displays (in real-time) ECN quotes, including pre-market and after hours quotes or `20 minutes delayed quotes` of predefined lists of stocks, indices and currency symbols as a scrolling message.

The Stock Ticker Application bar also displays quotes for up to 200 securities, automatically or manually updates stock prices, has user defined positioning, scrolling speed, fonts selection; includes top and bottom stock price visual and sound alerts.

Another really cool feature of this particular ticker is the stock price percentage change indicator. You can imagine how helpful that is when comparing a given stock`s upward or downward movement with the overall market.

Historical Quotes Downloader

Allows you to instantly download intraday or end-of-day historical quotes of stocks traded in the US. The customized ASCII data output format makes historical quotes data compatible with most technical analysis and charting analysis software packages such as SuperCharts, MetaStock, Advanced Get, Elliott Wave Analyzer, Microsoft Excel, Omega TradeStation and others. No subscription fees.

Stock Sector Monitor

Is a desktop financial application that allows you to easily monitor over 200 stocks and over 7000 public companies online. You can watch daily top losing and gaining stocks from each stock industry sector, see percentage change, quotes, volume and other quotes information, access news, print reports, charts, and create and maintain your stock portfolios.

Ashkon Stock Watch

This is serious charting software for the financial information market. It allows you to display on the same chart several technical single security indicators, open multiple chart documents, test your own investment strategies and maintain predefined lists of securities. While it`s got the usual built-in market indicators such as moving averages, price channels, bollinger bands, volatility, stochastic oscillators and MACD momentum indicators, it`s a really cool piece of software… especially the way it plots technical indicators in multiple panels (I just hate the way some trading software programs try to cram everything inside one small panel – this Stock Watch tool is so refreshingly different!)

Conclusion:

For those of you who are wondering why I chose to review five online stock trading software programs all from the one source, take note: there are over 32,000 web sites in Google alone that focus exclusively on online stock trading software programs. Ashkon is just one of these. However, having personally experienced the quality of Ashkon`s products, I have no hesitation in recommending them. Ultimately though, the onus is on you – the trader – to make the final choice.

Unix inter-process communication (IPC)

Imagine this! You turn on your computer and log into Windows. You are very excited that you finally bought a new computer, and you can’t wait to get online and began surfing the web! So you open up Internet Explorer and your heart is beating fast with anticipation. You’ve now been introduced to fake anti-virus and anti-spyware software!

Fake anti-virus software can be disguised as legitimate anti-virus software, requesting you to download it to protect your system for a “small fee.” Many times people are fooled into buying anti-virus software from non-reputable companies, only to realize later (for example): that they paid $50.00 or more, to download software that doesn’t work; while their credit card is showing additional unauthorized charges from the “anti-virus company!”

The anti-virus company won’t return calls, has no phone number to call and no customer support! As a matter of fact, the company has no real anti-virus software, because they are SCAMMERS!

It’s good to keep in mind that thieves are now using rogue anti-virus programs to steal your personal information and wreck havoc on your financial well being, as well as selling your information to MORE thieves!

Many times, fake virus programs are actually a “Trojan”, which is a program that takes control of your computer while remaining “hidden.” Sometimes, the Trojan creates “false positives,” fooling you into thinking your computer is infected, even though it isn’t. In other cases, this software places malicious code into your computer, causing many unwanted and possibly critical problems for your computer. Beware of clicking on websites or ads that advertise “free virus scanning.” You will usually do your computer more harm, than good.

What to look for to determine if you’re infected

1.) You will see constant alerts that your system is infected, with numerous pop-ups; including system stability issues.

2.) You will get constant pop-ups, even when you are not on the internet

3.) Your computer is dramatically slower

4.) Your desktop changes without your command, or your homepage is changed or is re-directed to another site that you didn’t choose.

How to help prevent fake anti-virus/spyware programs from infecting your PC

1.) Use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer!

2.) Use a good anti-virus program, and make sure it is set to update automatically (new definitions are released daily in many cases as new viruses are released daily!)

3.) Always have a firewall enabled on your computer, even if it is the Windows Firewall

4.) Never open an email unless you are definitely sure that it is from a trusted source (sometimes that trusted source may actually have a virus on his/her PC, sending rogue emails!)

5.) NEVER click on any pop-up that advertises anti-virus/spyware software.

6.) If you get a virus alert on your screen (“You are infected..”) NEVER click it! Instead, press “Ctrl + Alt + Del” to view a list of the programs running. Find the rogue program and click “End Task.”

7.) DO NOT use peer to peer file sharing programs such as “Limewire”, as this is a sure way to get infected; especially if you are not savvy network and computer security.

Hopefully this article has helped save many of you from hours of frustration, and will prevent a trip to your local computer store, or even to TekTime for repair! Remember that it takes effort and education to prevent becoming infected, but an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Happy Computing!

Managing a business, practicing your profession and many other things we do in life indeed involves a lot of paperwork and files – from receipts to contracts to many other important documents. With the convenience of the internet these days, business and personal documents are also being kept as files in the hard drive and archived electronically. With this, converting word files to PDF or portable document format has become popular as well.

With the many software and applications that we have today when it come to online files, it is important as well to find a file format that makes our files easy to manage but not easy to alter. PDF files have then become a good choice for businesses and even for personal files that you want to store electronically.

To help you understand the advantages of converting word files to PDF, here are some the good points of using PDF files.

- One good thing about PDF files is that, the software that you will need to open your PDF files is free. All you have to do is download it online and you can already open and read your files without having to spend a huge sum of money.

- Files set in PDF format can be opened anywhere – from your PC, your mobile phone, or your PDA, and that makes it easy and convenient. Of course, the most obvious and main advantage of converting your files to this format is all about portability and being able to access your files anywhere is a good advantage in these times that we prefer services that are fast, convenient and easy.

- Files in portable document format are also convenient because it can be opened in many platforms like Windows, Linux and Mac, thus you don’t have to worry about opening your files in different computers and wherever you want to access your files.

- Another good thing about files converted to PDF is security. Files in this format cannot be easily manipulated without leaving any electronic proof that it has been altered, thus it can indeed be useful in easy storing your personal and business documents. Documents in portable document format can also be signed digitally for authenticity, as this document format also supports good encryption. Of course, this will provide integrity to your documents as well.

- Converting word files to PDF is also a good way to make your files safe, as documents in this format have almost no chance of being infected with a virus.

- One of the conveniences of having your files in the portable document format is that, it also allows compression of your files. Especially if you have lots of graphics in your word file or your Powerpoint file, converting them to the portable document format will help you save memory on your PC and helps you upload your documents faster and easier.

Aside from all these, PDF files can also be created not only from word files but from many other sources. You can create them from scanned images or documents, you can create them from web pages as well as any electronic documents.

The ideal PC Backup Software is one designed keeping simplicity and ease of use as the primary objective. It needs to be very simple to deploy and massively scalable, with backups that are small, non-intrusive, and require minimal end-user interaction.

Deployment of the backup software should require minimal integration with third party solutions. The program should be up and running within 20 minutes.

Scheduling needs to be opportunistic, to ensure that backups are scheduled flexibly at most convenient times. Backups which miss the schedules are automatically resumed when bandwidth becomes available again. Also, small features like deferring the first backup of the day by 10 minutes from the time user logs in, ensure that the user is not disturbed when he starts his work.

But the must-have is always Data De-Duplication (DDD), which give you smaller, faster and almost invisible backups. Advanced hierarchical caching can optimize source-based deduplication for low bandwidth consumption.

If your backup program can throttle the amount of bandwidth and CPU available to the agent for backup, this would ensure that your work never gets disrupted.

Besides these features, the ideal PC backup solution also needs to highly scalable i.e. it should have the ability to support up to 2000+ PCs on a single backup server. It should also enable the administrator to centrally view, guide and control backup users; detailed backup reports and instant alerts would also enhance protection for PCs.

Client-triggered backups are usually the best, always initiating backup and restore requests by the client over a SSL secure channel. This aids in security and scalability of the server. The administrator then just needs only to open a one-way secure port to securely backup remote users over VPN or WAN.

Healing food: natural way to cure cancer

Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a TCP/IP protocol developed when the internet was in its infancy. It was developed by David Mills of the University of Delaware who was trying to synchronise computers across a network with a degree of precision.

NTP is a UNIX based protocol but it has been ported to operate just as effectively on PCs and a version has been included with operating systems since Windows 2000 (including Windows 7, Vista and XP).

NTP, and the daemon (application) that controls it, is not just a method of passing the time around. Any system running the NTP daemon can act as a client by querying the reference time from other servers or it can make its own time available for other devices to use which in effect turns it into a time server itself. It can also act as a peer by collaborating with other peers to find the most stable and accurate time source to use.

One of the most flexible aspects of NTP is its hierarchical nature. NTP divides devices into strata, each stratum level is defined by its proximity to the reference clock (atomic clock). The atomic clock itself is a stratum 0 device, the closest device to it (often a dedicated NTP time server) is a stratum 1 device whilst other devices that connect to that become stratum 2. NTP can maintain accuracy to within 16 stratum levels.

Any network that needs to be synchronised, has to first identify and locate a time source for NTP to distribute. Internet sources of time are available but thee are often taken from stratum 2 devices that operate through the firewall. The only way NTP can peer the time is if the TCP/IP port is left open to allow the traffic through. This could lead to security issues as malicious users can take advantage of this firewall hole.

Dedicated NTP time servers find a source of time via GPS or radio signals and so don’t leave a network vulnerable to attack. By attaching a NTP time server to a router and entire network of hundreds and even thousands of devices can be synchronised thanks to NTP’s hierarchical structure.

Richard N Williams is a technical author and specialist in atomic clocks, telecommunications, NTP and network time synchronisation helping to develop dedicated NTP clocks. Please visit us for more information about an NTP server or other NTP time server solutions.

So why exactly is the Trojan virus infection so dangerous and what can it do to our system if it gets attacked by it? I think that most people reading this article just want a quick solution that can help them remove Trojan virus infections from their computer system but first it’s important to know more about it. A Trojan horse is a type of malware and is arguably more dangerous than a computer virus or worm for the simple reason that it can open up your PC to third parties or hackers across the internet. By granting remote access to other sources around the web the Trojan will enable other people to manipulate system features, delete random files, capture information screens and download more malicious programs onto your system.

So know you are probably wandering how it could have infected your computer system in the first place? Just like any other form of malware, Trojans can attack a system through mail attachments, downloaded software, clicking buttons on web adverts and even from browsing malicious websites which trigger harmful installations. Once it has infected your PC it can enable others to get access from different locations where they can change and harmfully modify existing content or settings. Normally you can determine if you have an infection of this severity on your system because it causes degraded speed, rebooting, internet crashes, inability to run applications, modifications of wallpaper files and you will find that you cannot open task manager.

To remove Trojan virus infections one can follow one of 2 procedures. Firstly you can do what most people do and that is download a security program which can remove Trojan virus infections without hassle. The other more complex method which is only advised for advanced PC users is removal by manual methods. The reason why manual removal is not encouraged is because the Trojan has a complex structure and you will need the correct knowledge in order to remove a specific type which can be difficult to achieve.Furthermore, you should be warned that deleting incorrect files, registry entries or other folders could make your PC even more unusable.

If you think you are infected and need to remove Trojan virus content from your system then I recommend that you scan your system with Xoftspyse which is a powerful anti Trojan security tool. Because it has a definition database of over 100 000 definitions it can easily root out many types of malware and effectively eliminate them from a computer.

Recent news of security breaches of the social network site Twitter and the Houston Municipal Court’s computer system have taught us not to take malicious viruses lightly.

In fact, in 2009 alone, McAfee detected 1.5 million malware samples representing an increase of 1,800 percent over 2006. But viruses may not even represent the greatest risk to your business.

The real threat to your business may come from within.

A recent survey by Channel Insider reports that 43 percent of security assessments, solution providers say they find poor password policies, enforcement and practices. Most security threats originate from a source within the company.

One simple solution might be to choose a complex password, using a blend of numbers, special characters, uppercase and lowercase letters

However, with complexity comes an increased difficulty to remember the password. You never want write down a password on a Post-it note or save it openly on your desktop. Xvand security expert Mike Bybee recommends something easy for the user to remember:

• Use numbers for some of the letters (ie “leet” or “1337″ )
• Use symbols to replace letters (ie “!” for “i”)
• For capitalization, something less obvious than the first letter

For example, if your password is Gaggia (brand of espresso machine) the password might be “$gaGG1a”.

We hope you have found this information helpful. If you feel that your current process does not meet these standards, or if you would like more information please feel free to contact us:

Advice on AdSense

If you have a PC and like browsing the web then it’s a very good idea to buy spyware software. Generally you can find very good security applications on the web and they are really more important than you think. The reason why you should buy spyware software is because your computer could be infected with a number of programs that can damage, corrupt or even slow your system down to the point that it could become completely unstable. The details below will give you an idea on how to buy spyware software for your computer and are factors you need to look into before you make the final decision.

When looking around online it is important to read up reviews and look at customer testimonials because this is probably the best way to become more informed. Some folks prefer buying security tools at the computer store but the majority of PC users choose to buy spyware software online because it’s quick to download and you can remove infections within minutes after purchasing it. There are a number of companies online that allow you to get quality security software for your system and one should also take time to make sure that it comes from a respected and reputable source.

So what type of features should I look out for in a good security application? First of all you need to decide whether you want a tool that offers real time protection or a scan only feature. The biggest problem with software that offers real time protection is that it often remains in memory and can use a lot of CPU usage which consequently slows down your operations and overall system speed. Using a scan only tool is great because it only loads up into memory when you open the program and once the scan has completed and the infections are eliminated you can close it.

Customer support is always an important factor because there might come a time when you require assistance so lookout for that aspect too. Last but not least, make sure the program has an easy update feature that tells you when definition updates are available and this is very important as it allows the software to find malicious content that can sometimes be hard to detect. Take note that most spyware or virus removal tools you download online come with a free scan and once you try to actually remove the harmful content that it has detected you will have to pay first.

After having tested quite a few anti spyware products I can recommend Xoftspyse as a top security program. It offers many great features and because it has such a strong signature database it will be able to find and remove any infection on a PC. If you want to scan your PC for free you can download it directly below.

You may have heard computer “techies” talking about the importance of accurate time on a computer network and how if time drifts occur it can be disastrous. But would it really be that big of a deal or is this just a way to get you to purchase yet another external add on for your network, an external NTP server?
 
After all, most operating systems have NTP built in, and there are hundreds of internet time sources that you can synchronize with for free. Why not just use one of them instead of spending good money on yet another piece of hardware?
 
There are indeed a great number of internet timing sources, but an MIT study found over half to be inaccurate by more than ten seconds. Which, believe it or not, could have a huge impact on your computer network and your business.
 
Imagine you are a ticket broker. You are selling tickets to the hottest concert in the country and people have been waiting for days for midnight to hit and for the tickets to go on sale online. If all the machines on your network are not showing the same exact time it is perfectly possible that you may end up selling the same much sought after ticket to several people. The result? Angry customers and your businesses reputation takes a serious hit.
 
That is just one example, there are many, many others. Security is another big reason for a computer network to be perfectly time synchronized, and by an external, not internal source. Using an internet timing source means that you have to leave a program running constantly outside the system’s firewall. You will essentially be leaving your computer network open to attack all the time.

Spyware, for the longest time has affected our computers in one way or another. It bogs down your system, allows pop ups to interrupt your activities, can track your internet surfing and what sites you visit, and can go as far as logging your keystrokes both on the internet and off.

With all the threats today you need to have the proper security installed on your computer. In the early days of the internet and computers, security software was option and a lot of folks opted out of it because it took up a lot of space and was resource intensive. These days Anti Spyware and Anti Virus software is very, very light on the resources and does not bog your system down.

If upon install you find any spy ware that indicates it may be a key logger, change all your account passwords, your financial passwords and anything you access from your computer as they may have been compromised. Changing your passwords regularly is a good idea, but if your security is breached it will be necessary to change them.

Is Setting Up A Scan Difficult?

Finding the time to scan is not a problem, you can set up an easy weekly scan for times when you are not using your computer. At the time specified, the computer will initiate the scan and do it while you are not on the computer or for whenever you specified it.

Should I Read The Report My Anti Spyware Scanner Generates?

When your anti spy ware generates a report on the threats found in your computer, take the time to read it. It will access the danger level to your computer and tell you potential where it is coming from and allow you to either report it or not return to the source of it.

What All Does An Anti Spyware Software Package Protect?

It protects your computer as a whole and any incoming traffic to it. Emails, web browsing, instant messages are all examples of things your computer will keep an eye on. All of these items can contain Spyware and can lead to serious security issues if they got through and can cause annoyance, distress, or even personal loss if the Spyware key logger or other Spyware ever got a hold of your banking information.

The need to scan on a regular basis cannot be stressed enough, and you should never shut down your anti Spyware or antivirus software. It does not hurt having it open, runs very low key in the background, and constantly keeps its eye on your computer to ensure that your files and communications are safe!

PC antivirus software could be the most important program you own. It could save you hours of frustration and heartache. Most importantly it could save you a huge sum of money and give you piece of mind.

You may ask yourself this question constantly. Do I need PC antivirus software? The answer, quite simply, is yes. If you spend any time at all connected to the internet or moving files from other PC’s, you definitely need it. Viruses are most commonly picked up through the internet or by opening files from an unknown source.

A virus can create havoc on an unprotected computer system. You can lose files, programs and personal data. In some cases, you can lose everything on your PC and end up having to replace the whole thing. All of this can be prevented simply by purchasing good quality PC antivirus software. Most of these programs are relatively inexpensive and provide all of the protection you need for daily use.

PC antivirus software comes in all shapes and sizes. There are free antivirus programs and ones that you need to purchase and then purchase a subscription to keep them up to date. The free software usually offer little protection and are out of date quickly. This leaves your PC open to infection and possible data loss or damage to the system. This is obviously not a situation that anyone wants.

The best choice for PC antivirus software is a paid solution which is updated frequently. Viruses are being written all the time and if your software isn’t updated it will not detect a virus that has been written since your last update. For this reason it is necessary to maintain a subscription to whatever software you purchase. There may be a fee for this service but, it is a small price to pay for the peace of mind and security solid PC antivirus software will provide.

The recently unveiled HTC Wildfire offer many features that you may associate with a Smartphone by the manufacturer. For example, touchscreen technology, 5 megapixel camera and the popular Android OS (v2.1).

The Wildfire provides 384 MB of RAM internally, as well as a microSD slot giving the potential to store up to a whopping 32 GB of data such as documents or media files. The integrated phonebook stores a practically endless amount of contacts and includes the ever popular Photocall function. This allows a photo to be designated to any contact within the phonebook, and this is then displayed on the screen whenever that person is in contact.

Connections to cellular networks are provided courtesy of class 10 EDGE and GPRS, which provides connections in all but the most remote regions. In areas with 3G coverage, an HSDPA connection provides Internet access at 7.2 mega bytes per second, whereas the inclusion of Wi-Fi Technology allows a faster surfing speed to be achieved when it detects the signals provided by wireless Internet routers.

As mentioned, the HTC Wildfire is equipped with a digital camera boasting five mega pixels which operates at a high pixel resolution. The result of this is still photographs which are of very high quality. In order to simplify the task of taking quality snapshots, both smile detection and Autofocus are provided as part of the cameras software alongside an LED flash, meaning lower lighting conditions do not prove an obstacle to taking great photos. The camera also has the ability to shoot video footage.

A comprehensive list of features and applications provide versatility and appeal to a variety of mobile phone users. In entertainment terms, there is a versatile media player, a number of games and a stereo FM radio player. GPS with A-GPS support is provided which allows features such as Google Maps, geo-tagging and the built in digital compass to function. HTC has noticed the growing popularity of social networking and provided applications which allow integration with Facebook, Flickr and Twitter to appeal to these users. A voice memo recorder and predictive text input offer useful productivity features.

Given its versatile range of features as along with its flawless design, the HTC Wildfire looks set to be another winner for the manufacturer.
