Gmail Is Hacked By Chinese Hacker

2011-06-02T04:01:00.000-07:00

VIVAnews - Google once again could not circumvent the Chinese hacker attacks. After the tragedy of late 2009, when the hackers from Baidu,China had managed to break into Google's system and steal the codes which are important, now the service provider of electronic mail (e-mail) Gmail became targets.
Wall Street Journal (WSJ) today reported that the email accounts of senior officials from the U.S. and hundreds of other important figures are in danger.
The victims, including state and military officials, bureaucrats Asia, Chinese activists and journalists, according to Google's statement as written in the WSJ. The aim is to spread e-mail attack victim to certain addresses.
Suspicion is directed to the hackers who stay in Jinan, capital of Shandong Province, eastern China.
In Washington, the United States, agency investigators FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) and the U.S. State Department investigate this case. "We do not believe there is an official email account owned by U.S. government officials that is breached," said Caitlin Hayden of the U.S. National Security Council to the WSJ.
Jinan, which is located about 400 kilometers south of Beijing, is the headquarters of the bureaus of technical surveillance of the People's Liberation Army, one of the largest armies in the world.
Previously, Mila Parker, a security researcher in Washington, would have warned the threat of attack. Mila managed to save examples of emails that she was identified through routine observation and she called the attack "man-in-the-mailbox."
The method used by the sender: email accounts of victims and their contacts in it seized and used to convince other potential victims.
She then handed a fake document entitled "Draft US-China Joint Statement" that is spread through e-mail account in the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Department of Defense, Defense Intelligence Agency and Gmail.
When the user tries to download the document, they will be herded into a fake Gmail homepage that will steal your password.
That incident will certainly further increase the pressure on cyberwar issues. The U.S. government this week will decide those cyber attacks are classified as "war".
Meanwhile, British Defence Secretary, Nick Harvey said, as quoted from the pages of The Guardian, "any activity in cyberspace will slowly form a kind of battlefield of the future."

Choosing between a Google Chromebook and an Apple iPad 2?

2011-05-19T04:25:00.000-07:00

With the two heavyweight brands battling it out on the mobile computing front, we take it upon ourselves to find out which has the better offering.
Google Chromebook
With the Chromebook launching on June 15th, the amount of available information is still rather limited and subject to change. What we are certain of, is that Chromebook is trying to take computing into the cloud.
It’s fast
With a boot time of 8 seconds and an instant resume function, it should please any impatient user. Also, it includes a keyboard (full sized!) redesigned for the web, with browser keys (Page Back, Page Forward, Refresh, New Window, Volume, Screen Brightness).
Google Web Store
A place you can currently visit to install apps into your Chrome browser. With apps ranging from Education to Entertainment, Lifestyle to News & Weather, rest assured there will be something for you. Oh, and did we mention that Angry Birds is available too?
However, some commentators have questioned the need for an online app store. Ryan Paul of Ars Technica said on December 9, 2010: "The way that users consume applications in the desktop and mobile world is fundamentally different than they (sic) way that they do it on the Web—where paywalls are often reviled and there is little distinction between content and software. In such an environment, does the application store model make any sense? We are not convinced...Aside from gaming, the idea of an application store in a Web browser—where installation is little more than bookmarking—seems counterintuitive and leaves us with the impression that the entire exercise is a solution in search of a problem.
As a cloud computing device, key emphasis is placed on getting connected to the web. With built-in WiFi and 3G networks, Chromebook automatically connects to the web at boot. As all your apps, documents and settings are stored safely in the cloud server, logging into different Chromebooks will provide an identical user experience with access to all your data.

Apple iPad 2
Compare this with the wildly popular iPad 2. Being the established market leader, the iPad 2 has become sleeker, and more powerful compared to the original.
The iPad 2’s strength lies in general navigation and ease of use, which is definitely much easier than Chromebook or any other non-touch screen device. With this in mind, the iPad 2 scores well as a portable device.
App Store
The Apple App Store takes the cake when it comes to the sheer number of downloadable apps for a device. With over 65,000 apps for the iPad, there is definitely something for you, be it work, play or everything in between.
Contrary to what some might say, typing for extended periods on an iPad 2 proves to be incredibly easy, with the inclusion of the new Smart Cover that props the iPad up comfortably. With this accessory, the iPad 2 is now far more versatile in its use.
Personally, we still prefer the iPad 2 because of its intuitive usage and the wealth of apps for all purpose, but users who like an integrated environment throughout all machines, and can handle working exclusively in a browser environment should really consider the chromebook.

Nokia Will Buy Microsoft?

2011-05-18T05:54:00.000-07:00

KOMPAS.com - News about the possibility of division bought mobile / cell phone Nokia by Microsoft is spreading on the internet since last few days. Eldar Murtazin, a blogger who had problem with Nokia, re-create sensational news because, according to sources in which he gained Nokia, Nokia will soon be bought by Microsoft in the coming days.
Murtazin reports Nokia will begin negotiations to sell their phone unit to Microsoft in this week. Murtazin said the two companies want to close the deal by the end of 2011 and they are in haste to quickly finalize the deal.
The news of this spread quickly. Businessinsider.com questioned this claim as Nokia and Microsoft recently agreed on using the Windows Phone for the latest Nokia smartphones. Moreover, the agreement only a few months. In addition, Nokia mobile phone division is the largest revenue contributor to Nokia for this. Nearly 66 percent of revenue derived from Nokia this division so that if the division is sold, Nokia will provide for losses.
But this news can not be left just as famous for its accuracy, including when he said that there are Symbian ^ 3 on the Nokia N8 almost the same with Symbian series before.
Bgr.com reported as he obtained from Murtazin that negotiations will begin next week and results will not directly observable by the public. If both companies agree, this will be completed by the end of 2011.
Actually, if this news is true it is not surprising since Nokia was founded in the 1800s as a paper company and moved the core business several times before developing the first mobile phone that changes direction with their mobile phone division would sell in line with the legacy of this company.
This news immediately responded by Nokia spokesman, Mark Squires by tweet on Twitter and say, "We typically do not comment on rumors. But We have to say That Eldar's rumors are obviously getting less accurate with every passing moment."
Rumor that is spreding by Murtazin may be just a rumor because Nokia market value of not less than 32 billion U.S. dollars, a very large number of course. However, there is always a good reason to support the truth of this rumor. Moreover, Nokia is the former CEO of Microsoft.
As is well known, Microsoft has a Windows Phone as a mobile phone operating system and is already quite long. Yet somehow this operating system does not seem to get reception in the market. Eldar Murtazin himself said that Microsoft's operating system is already failing.
Microsoft is also working with several vendors such as HTC cell phone but license revenue earned from such cooperation is very small, perhaps only 15 U.S. dollars per phone. Revenue amounted to was too small to enterprise Microosoft. Now, if Microsoft can buy Nokia and integrating software with hardware as well as that conducted by Apple Inc. of course, Microsoft will gain quite a bit of revenue from this business. This is what may encourage Microsoft to buy Nokia, do not just enough to give WP a license to use Nokia. By having all of them (Nokia) Microsoft could expect increased sales and profits of course.
Looking at the track record Murtazin because once he had problem with Nokia, this could be considered offensive to many times from Murtazin against Nokia. However, many people who believe in the information provided by Murtazin so the news will be bought Nokia by Microsoft could be a truth in some time to come. Just wait.

"Pitching is half exciting and nightmare," said Bernadus Sumartok, founder of Presentonomics.com when sharing his knowledge about the presentation in front of participants.
According to him, pitching could be a very cultivated because employers will meet the investors, but it would be a nightmare if his presentation was not optimal. Therefore Sumartok share how to build a simple slide presentation but can attract investor attention while pitching.
He divided the three major parts, namely: Mind of The Time (time division), Content is King (content presentation is king), and Visual (how visualization is very supportive presentation).
First, Mind in Time, or time sharing can be done by sorting what is not important, important, and most important. Then focus the discussion of the slide to the product, not the background or profile of the company. When explaining the product, better show than to say, because the audience is more interested in seeing the product directly compared heard the story. Ideally, within 15 minutes of presentation only consists of 12 to 20 slide presentation, then take advantage of the optimum.
Second, in terms of Content Is King. Ideal structure for startup when the pitching is discussing the contents starting from the introduction about the company and team, then continued by explaining the opportunities and competition in the industry, explain the business model, provides a question and answer, also gives the solution of problems that occurred in the vicinity of the user startup them. But the set of all essential information into simple, easily understood information audience. "Keep it simple slide," said Sumartok.
Third, the Visual. Sumartok suggested that a presentation using large images and high resolution, not the small picture and low resolution. "If it's necessary fill all the screen slides with images for clear," said Sumartok.
He added that the use of clip art in presentation means are not professional, so he suggested not to use clip art. Do not forget to provide enough white space on the image so there is space to enter text that reinforces the image. Then to type letters, on a slide, try to not more than two types of letters and for writing numbers should use Arial typeface because it is more clearly visible.

Developer named WhatsApp This led to the idea which is then called WhatsApp to see that everyone wanted to talk to each other all the text but not prevented by a PIN or user ID.
WhatsApp chat applications quickly accepted by users. Until now it can be downloaded to the iPhone, Blackberry, Symbian (Nokia), or Android. In other words, you are now "talking" with the user's iPhone, Nokia, Blackberry or Android despite wear.
The way is by typing http://m.whatsapp.com, then select the platform you use. Currently this application is still free. However, there is likely to be paid amounted to 1.99 U.S. dollars per year.
WhatsApp can do texting each other because of cross-use the same server for all platforms.

Also, if you come into contact with friends or relatives abroad, the costs are not the same as the cross-operator SMS. WhatsApp same as using e-mail or regular chat, the tariff is not soaring.
When the application is activated, it automatically lists in your phone book, which also have activated his WhatsApp, will soon appear. Thus, you do not need to ask for a phone number like using gasoline. In addition, your profile picture will appear by itself using photo profiles on the contact list.
So how about the mechanism of payment for this service? Tariffs are tariff data. The amount in accordance with those offered by the service you choose. So it's not SMS or voice. Of course more affordable.
It appears BlackBerry users will be adding this application if you want to come into contact with users of the Nokia, iPhone, or Android phone if you are like this. (Andra / FORSEL)
