IP privacy
November 10th, 2010 by Frank
People who surf the Web from their homes have the right to expect that their subscriber information is subject to the same privacy rights granted to banking customers, telephone subscribers and the like, the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled. Thus using a user’s IP address to track internet usage is an invasion of privacy.
“Users make disclosures to (Internet service providers, or ISPs) for the limited goal of using that technology and not to promote the release of personal information to others. Under our precedents, users are entitled to expect confidentiality under these circumstances,” the court wrote. “… one’s identity will not be discovered through a string of numbers (an IP address) left behind on a Web site.”
SharePoint Server 2010 Remote BLOB Storage (RBS)
September 23rd, 2010 by Frank
What is a SharePoint Server 2010 Remote BLOB Storage?
Remote BLOB Storage (RBS) is an add-on feature pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2008. Remote BLOB Storage in SharePoint Server 2010 and SharePoint Foundation 2010 moves the storage of binary large objects (BLOBs) from database servers to commodity storage solutions. If the content databases in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 are 4 gigabytes (GB) or larger, consider using Remote BLOB Storage as part of your data storage solution.
By default, Microsoft SQL Server stores BLOB data in its databases. As a database’s usage increases, the total size of its BLOB data expands quickly and grows larger than the total size of the document metadata and other structured data that is stored in the database. As BLOB data can consume a lot of file space and uses server resources that are optimized for database access patterns, it can be helpful to move BLOB data out of the SQL Server database, and into a separate file. « Read the rest of this entry »

Severed Cables Causes Massive Internet Downtime
July 10th, 2010 by editor
If you have friends or business associates from the Middle East or India, don’t expect an email coming from them anytime soon. The reason being that they are unable to connect to the Internet; it’s not because of some government crackdown or terrorist activity, but rather because of two damaged undersea cables in the Mediterranean.
There was disruption to 70% of the nationwide network in Egypt, and India suffered up to 60% disruption.
UK firms such as British Airways have told the BBC that call centres have been affected by the outage.
Industry experts said it could take up to one week to repair the damaged cables and resume full service.
International telephone calls, which have also been affected, are being rerouted to work around the problem.
If people still think that the Internet is a waste of time and money, they should look at it again. A lot of businesses rely on this service and is somehow connected to our daily lives. Repairs are currently underway.

February 10th, 2010 by editor
Web log or blog is the easiest way to publish your brilliant thoughts. Blog sites spread like wild fire throughout the Internet world.

Ebook sales increasing steadily
January 10th, 2010 by Frank
The day may be coming when more books, in digital format or otherwise, may be sold online than in brick-and-mortar stores.According to an Associated Press poll released last year, one in four adults read no books of any kind in 2006. And those who do read prefer digital copies over the traditional hardbound copies or paperbacks. The Association of American Publishers says that the sales of ebooks have grown at a compound rate of 55.7 percent a year since 2002, compared with a growth rate of only 2.5% in sales of paper books. This is probably due in large part to the development of portable personal digital assistants (PDAs) and the popular Amazon product, the Kindle.

Blog for Relief
November 9th, 2009 by Frank
Blogs are often relegated to being merely online diaries diaries that contain irrelevant (and irreverent) rantings and ramblings. But for some, blogging can be used as therapy.
Bloggers can choose to set a tone for their writings. They can be optimistic and happy. They can also be pessimistic. They can be risk-takers. Or they can be conservative.
That is the freedom given by blogging. It lets people build on their character. Discussion threads let other bloggers (or readers) participate, and a blogger gets instant gratification, with user-feedback.
I think you would agree that blogging is good for the soul. You just have to consider it as good writing and talking therapy. It’s like a support group, but this time, it’s online!
