Music and technology is a good combination. From the time when Mac introduced their iPOD’s, it has become an instant hit not only to teenagers but to adults as well. Downloading music with the use of internet access has never become tedious and surprisingly within a snap of your fingers, your song are available for listening.

Today, Apple’s iTunes has become a phenomenon. There is even a prediction, that it will be the top music retailer before the end of 2008. And this is all happening because of the internet advancement. Picture out what it can do more aside from music downloading.

Online colleges are easy to find. You simply need to go to your favorite search engine, type in the phrase and a whole slew of them will come up. But how can you tell from looking at the site whether it’s a good college or not? Online college degree programs that are of high quality all share five characteristics:

1. Accreditation. This is the most important thing to look for with any program online. You want your degree to actually count for something in the real world.
2. Different degrees. You want to find a school that offers Associates, Bachelors and higher education degrees. One size does not fit all.
3. Specific programs. You probably shouldn’t just get a general liberal arts degree online. Look for programs that give you specific skills in a career field that interests you.
4. Financial aid assistance. A good college helps you pay for your education. Many online programs fail to do this but a good one will help you out.
5. Resources. The Internet offers a sea of resources so there’s no reason that a college online shouldn’t link you to them.

If you have personal or business contacts from the Middle East or India, don’t expect to hear from them via-electronic mail or private messages coming from them for a week or so. The reason being that they have been disconnected from the World Wide Web; it’s not because of some strict 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.

Repairs are currently being done as we speak. In the meantime, go out and experience real life for a change.

In US, an allegedly isolated ISP for malicious attacks and content has been shut down and tagged as a “black hat” or “attack” site by the US FTC that says it has ample evidence to do so. The company is allegedly hosting many malicious sites that have been determined to be one of the US’s havens for such criminal activity. The hosting firm has of course absolutely denied this and say they are willing to take the case to court. Read the rest of this entry »

Twitter has become one of the most successful startups that have managed to make it big in the ever improving social net. They have however become a larger target for malware makers or hackers, who capitalize on the sheer number of people that can be hit in one go that takes almost no time to accomplish. The micro-blogging site is founded on the very much secure framework of Ruby that is already robust on it’s own. Read the rest of this entry »

That’s according to Microsoft which has stuck to their deadline for their most stable and most used operating system platform. The OS is set to go offline with some sales allowed for laptops that have been made between HP and the software giant from Redmond as they have already set quota’s for manufacturing of units that cannot support Vista’s demanding requirements the more so for Win 7.

The successor to the much failed Vista series of Operating systems has been announced along with several launches Microsoft plans for the year. Their own search engine, Bing has just been released but it still is too early to tell as to it’s progress or success. It is getting traffic or use but many experts say this is merely due to the initial efforts of advertising and of course, the ever present curiosity of people who jump into everything that is new on the internet.

For one, nobody really knows beyond Microsoft’s official reports and scattered information from beta testers around the world – the final version will be the basis for the final verdict. Although people are somewhat hopeful that Internet Explorer 8 will at least be up to par with it’s contemporaries like Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and even Opera, as the Windows’ default browser has long been frowned upon for its instability, resource hogging, and general inefficiency and slow speed.

With easier to use parental controls, as well as a sleeker, more elegant look and user friendly interface, Microsoft also believes that IE8 will perform and browse considerably faster than any other browser – although again, that is something we will all have to see when the final version is released sometime in March of this year.

Microsoft is fast-tracking the development of the next generation of their Windows Operating System mainly due to the failure of their last release Vista which flopped. many of those who jumped onto the Vista bandwagon soon opted to downgrade to the more stable XP platform. There are rumors that XP’s support will be expanded for a few more years according to HP, the largest PC and Laptop manufacturer in the world who has an agreement to continue selling certain products installed with XP. Is this a sign of Microsoft losing step with their next OS?
