This comes as a major shock because Flash was initially developed 15 years ago for the benefit of Tablet PC’s. Apple’s new iPad is a new generation Tablet PC that requires Flash for the better and faster viewing of web pages and other important applications. Moreover, according to Kevin, nearly 85% of the most popular websites today incorporate Flash at an extensive level. This means, that apple’s new device will miss out a lot in terms of comfort of viewing and as well as customer satisfaction. It is already suffering a great deal on the iPhone with Flash incompatibility, which makes it frustrating for the user to view webpage with rich Flash content.

Every other smart phone organization incorporates Flash on their device to enable the viewers the facility of viewing rich Flash content on web pages. Kevin also adds that the accusation of a bug in the software was baseless since if it did have potential bugs that could lead to a crash of the system then so many web pages would not have opted for Flash. This was the very proof that Flash was neither incompatible nor poorly developed, as accused by Apple.

According to a Wall Street journal Google is going to announce about this modification very soon. This modification is an experimental step towards the social networking world for Google and if this succeeds then they might consider some more and exciting new modifications to Gmail and may give serious competition to other social networking sites. The salient aspect of these particular updates is that they are going to be private and will be visible for the recipient only. This means that unlike Twitter where others are able to find out about the conversations or other things you say to your friends, here, you will be able to keep it a secret here at Gmail.

The main reason behind this updates is to allow users to share contents freely and at a faster rate between each other and help to swap links with various other sites that are there in collaboration with Google, for example, the YouTube. This will help you to decide that which content you wish to keep private and which ones public. The ease of sharing your contents on YouTube quickly through Gmail now may become reality and you will always be able to stay updated about what is new and happening. However, the goal still seems very far.

The changes, as they are being incorporated, include a redesign of the menu bar that is there on the top of the website. This modification will notify the users about any new messages or notifications at runtime and the user will be able to view them by clicking on the respective icons. This medication is worth mentioning as now you do not have to keep refreshing pages or change pages to view fresh notifications and messages. The users are also in for a treat because now the left hand side modified menu bar will contain various games and applications that will surely make your experience of Facebook more fun.

The left hand side pane containing the new games dashboard and application list will also keep a track of the most recently played game and also the application that you most recently used. It will also contain the most recently played games of your friends. This way you can also try them if you are interested. New counters are now there to help you with notifications about playing a particular turn in a game. These changes, though might seem small, will play a significant role in making this social networking site even more popular, as most believe.

The product idea is a CEOP panel along with Internet Explorer 8 that will help the young minds to surf through the internet safely and securely with all the required instructions from CEOP. There will be a CEOP toolbar on the browser that will guide children about safe usage of the internet and will help them to report any anomaly, which they believe might have happened. This seems a wise move as proper guidance from the right authorities was necessary for the young generation so that they are able to understand both the positive and negative side of the cyberspace.

The toolbar will not only provide advice to the users about the internet content but will also educate the users about probable virus attacks and how they effect the user and other types of cyber crimes that might harm them. You will be able to download the toolbar-loaded version of IE8 from the CEOP’s website, which is www.ceop.police.uk./ie8 and if you are existing IE8 user then you will be able to download the toolbar itself and add it to your existing browser.

Incidentally, according to recent statistics, Baidu’s shares in the Chinese market went up by 13% whereas Google saw a fall in its share price by 0.57%. This statistical report may prove that Google actually wants to quit China due to a financial crisis as well.  According to another statistics, Baidu controls nearly 60% of the country’s search engine market whereas Google controls only one third of it.

According to a contract with the Chinese government, it agreed to filter certain content as mentioned by the Chinese government before starting Google.cn in China in 2006. However, after this attack Google wants hold talks with the Chinese government stating they would like to operate their Google.cn without filtering its content. This is the move, which makes it quite clear that Google no longer wishes to keep its offices in China.

The cyber attacks consisted of attacking the Gmail accounts of particular human rights activists of China. However, the attack was to gain information about certain account details, which corresponds to the date of opening the account, and other such information rather than accessing the contents of the emails.

By creating fake emission registration entries the thieves targeted hundreds of organizations around the world including many organizations in New Zealand, Australia, and Norway along with organizations from European countries. In a news conference, the head of German emission registry (DEHST), Hans-Juergen Nantke, said that this was a global attack on various organizations. Nearly 2000 organizations in Germany were targeted and out of those, six took the bait. These organizations handed their registration details to these thieves, which eventually led to the theft of their emission permits.

As a security measure, registry in nine different European countries was closed which included Italy, Spain, Belgium, Denmark and Greece. However, in the Netherlands, Norway and Austria the registries reopened after a temporary suspension. The European Emissions Exchange allowed the emissions trade via them.

It is speculated that in the investigations that will follow after this unfortunate incident may involve the European Commission in it. This involvement will depend on the level of this fraud. According to a spokesperson on behalf of the commission, it has been mentioned that if the transactions were of international nature then the Commission will involve themselves in the investigations as per the rules of international transaction investigations.

He tried to exploit all major versions of Windows starting from Windows server 2003 to Windows 7, going through XP and server 2008 versions of Windows as well to find that he was successful in manipulating that particular utility. This particular patch, which will be available in the February update and will ensure that along with five other bugs are also fixed which previously allowed hackers to run their own applications on the Windows platform.

Along with fixing bugs in the operating system, this update will ensure some other fixes in Office 2003, Office 2004 that is meant for the Apple Macintosh machine and Office XP as well. However, this was not one of the biggest bug fix updates, which Microsoft has released until date and the biggest update that was released was the one on October 2009. That particular patch handled 34 bugs and out of them, eight were considered to be of high priority. Another important patch that Microsoft released in January 2010 was able to fix a major defect in the Internet Explorer itself. This fix was important since it is believed that the cyber attack on Google in China was done through this particular bug that was there in the explorer.

Yes, apart from songs, movies and shopping, there are lots of other stuffs in the web. The major factor that propelled the influence of internet in the midst of the political world was the power of the web to bring millions of people in one platform where they can enforce their issues and share it to the masses.

While talking about violence, we cannot forget the world famous post election violence occurred after the presidential elections in Iran. At that time, Twitter was the first that brought the war on web. It revealed the actual sides of the protests to the people worldwide. The Iranian government was unable to put a control gate to the chaotic flow of their information all over the globe. It could never have been possible to put forward the reality without the mainstream web media.

The real beauty of web is that it is capable in empowering any of you to come forward and express your own view. An example is set by a young IT wizard named Austin Heap. The conversation between him and his friend at Iran was surprising and proved the power of web. Software called Haystack was used which provides the Iranians with a unique way to anonymously access the web media.

Another most unforgettable cyber attack was the Denial of Service attack. The 23-year-old named Konstantin Goloskokov, was an architect and a commissar in the movement Nashi was the brain behind the scene. Later on when he was asked about it, he showed no regrets at all rather what he believed is that why one should go for a real war with real weapons when you can strike back the whole nation from your desk sitting in front your computer.

The main catalyst of the attack was the relocation of the bronze statue of a soldier Tallinn from city centre to a cemetery. People used to consider it as the symbol of their victory over Germany during the Second World War. A powerful riot was an obvious outcome of such relocation and it took shape with the web media.

Eye on Earth is an interactive website where the people can contribute their different environment related views and observation there by helping others to notice certain valuable things.

The basic idea is to display the quality of air and water in a particular selected area through an interactive map. The site covers 32 countries all over the world.

The EEA also adds data about the environment of that specific are, which are recorded officially.

The map, which the site provides, is a perfect detailed high quality map along with facilities for the viewers to navigate across the map in order to find out the specific area, they are searching for.

Besides laying stress on the monitoring of air and water of several regions, the website has many future ambitions too. The most interesting fact is that, the creators are saying that this site will influenced the politician and will surely motivate them towards the correct steps. Professor Jacqueline McGlade, the executive director of EEA considers this site as a platform for the people to do something for their environment.

Several ways are being facilitate to the users so that they can contribute their observations. For instance, many preset values such as “clean” or “noisy” are provided from which you can choose the one you feel like.

Technologies such as the cloud based OS, the Microsoft mapping software and the windows Azure are used. It could not be possible without the cooperation of Microsoft, as explained by the Professor McGlade. However, the coordinator for the climate change, Phil Thornhill is still doubtful about the scheme as he believes that such a big organization like Microsoft has lots of agitations than what it will actually contribute.

However, it is quite true that such a venture will at least bring millions of people together for an important discussion which is a need of hour!
