Heightened SEO Attacks

Avatar — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 00:23:48 +0000

Search engines like Google, Yahoo and the many other search engines out there have to implement measures to attacks aimed at their results during searches. Search Engine Optimization makes searches more precise but with attacks aimed at them they have to deal with overloading of their sites. Fake and dummy sites that look as if they are from legitimate sources and even have all the makings of one are given as results to a search for particular key words. Any unsuspecting person who selects one will get an unpleasant surprise in the form of code that can be anything from a spam generator to a phishing bot which sends information to a central location or address.

Top Designer Tools in SharePoint Designer 2010

Ivo — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 13:28:53 +0000

Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer is a free editor and web design program from Microsoft for SharePoint and other websites. It is a part of the SharePoint family of products. SharePoint Designer shares its codebase, UI and HTML rendering engine with Microsoft Expression Web, and does not rely on Internet Explorer’s Trident engine, which is less standards compliant. One of its differences from the general web design application, Expression Web, is that it does include only SharePoint-specific site templates.

SharePoint Designer 2010

On April 24, 2010, the latest version of SharePoint Designer was launched, which was named as SharePoint Designer 2010. With SharePoint Designer 2010, you can build complete, rich, reusable, process-centric applications on the SharePoint platform that integrate external data. SharePoint Designer 2010 makes it possible to build composite applications by configuring or designing components such as data sources, lists, content types, views, forms, workflows, and external content types—all without writing any code. Further, SharePoint Designer 2010 now provides tools for all the important components in a SharePoint solution.

The user interface of SharePoint Designer 2010 has been completely redesigned to “put the ‘SharePoint’ into SharePoint Designer.” Now all of the important components in a site or solution — lists and content types, views and forms, workflows, data sources and external content types, page layouts and master pages — are easy to find. The new File tab makes it easy to open existing sites or create new sites. You can also open pages or sites that you have recently worked with, and add new components such as lists and workflows to the current site. Every site has a summary page where you can change settings or manage various aspects of your site. For example, you can now manage permissions directly from SharePoint Designer 2010. The Navigation pane makes it easy to find and navigate to all of the important components in a site that you use to build a solution Gallery pages make it easy to find and edit any of the important components of your solution. The Ribbon makes you more efficient and productive in SharePoint Designer 2010 because the Ribbon surfaces all of the important features in the right context for what you’re working on. Another new user interface in SharePoint Designer 2010 focuses on surfacing all of the important components in a SharePoint solution. If you used the Folder List in previous versions of SharePoint Designer, you can still have the experience of working with the files and folders in a site by using All Files view.

This is not just all about SharePoint Designer 2010. There’s lot more to SharePoint 2010. Take advantage of SharePoint Designer and other useful features of SharePoint 2010 hosting, SharePoint Foundation hosting or SharePoint Server 2010 – with shared or dedicated hosting by a SharePoint 2010 hosting provider.

Natural Gas-Powered Fuel Cells (Part 1)

Avatar — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 21:02:20 +0000

Japan has over 2,200 homes powered by small fuel cells which are greater than many Western nations. Most major Japanese cities have almost all homes supplied with natural gas which is used for heating and cooking making their use simpler unlike in the US where there is a low percentage of homes with piped in supply. These suitcase sized fuel cell units provide enough electricity to power and provide heated water for the average Japanese home. The charming detail about the technology is that the wasted electricity during transmission is eliminated totally for power generation is home based. the only danger is that the power generation unit produces carbon monoxide but has oxygen added to it (which is also a by-product of the power generation process within the same unit) making it into less harmless carbon dioxide.

Security Improvements

Many companies have taken up the challenge of securing internet and data that go through the internet as we move to a more mobile workplace. Encryption, data compression and other technologies have greatly improved the security of information as it barrels through the internet. Hardware based protection for such networks are now becoming available and are now being implemented. Firewalls and other intrusion prevention and detection systems have improved greatly allowing us to work without worrying about information being lost or being stolen. Biometrics and other technologies bundled together is proving to be a harder nut to crack and many are finding them more and more of a necessity to assure safe and secure computing over the Internet.

Consumer Electronics on the Move

The CES market has expanded and benefited from the computer technology industry at the same pace. Innovations in the computing world are quickly becoming integrated into Consumer electronics goods as fast as they are thought of. Maybe because these products are becoming more of the mainstream money earners for IT companies because there are already too many giants to compete with in the IT industry. The best innovations are the smallest and most indiscrete such as the ever increasing transition of the workforce into the true wireless network where anyone can work and stay connected with their jobs anytime anyplace. True, many plans for city-wide implementations flopped (high cost of investment) but they are again being re-thought as new technologies arise. Most major cities have hot-spots that can be tied together with newer WiMax systems.

Online Retail

Many stores have yet to go online and get the convenience of Pay Pal. Retailers are trying to find a new way of getting customers who have the said service to still do purchases even without a paypal account through other alternatives. Retail stores have longed to get the convenience and ease on implementing more and more payment options for their customers such as Google’s check-out now and bill me later facility. To promote these alternatives, retailers have offered discounts for those who use them and are starting to get results. The lower the cost of credit card transactions the higher the profit margin. The Lower the overhead cost for purchases the lower the price and more power to the buyer making everybody happier all at the same time.

New Age Media

Media giants that did have web pages have had to adapt a new approach towards news and information that they have in their web pages. They used to be digitized copies of boring print but they have now realized the benefits of distributed web designs that allow better exposure and advertising revenue has grown immensely as they shift to the newer approach. They have had to re-think the way they delivered the news forming alliances with some of the nest search engines who in point to them searches that have increased dramatically over the years. Their purchase of online media has allowed them to adopt more aggressive online promotion and advertising resulting in better profit margins.

.NET Framework

Avatar — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 09:48:10 +0000

The much hyped .NET framework has changed the way the internet operated in a way that information is not stored on concentrated powerful servers but scattered all over the place. This places the user at the helm and information is more distributed to where it is needed most. It also allows for smaller data centers in the true spirit of the .NET framework enterprises have had to re-think their business applications worked. They now have faster and smaller data centers distributed around the world with only the information that is needed kept and stored within it. No all week back-up processing in order to save all the processed data into one huge repository. The data is processed online, and the ones that have to be stored are kept with the other data needed by the head offices getting only the processed data they need.

Google Custom Search

Avatar — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 09:47:21 +0000

Google has announced the launch of it’s custom search engine to the rest of the world which makes the search engine more effective and powerful tool. It allows users to access the advanced search function (which was only available in the US for quite sometime now). The new search system uses semantics to give results that are better a match to the terms searched based on the use and not merely based on the similarity of the words used. Traditional search engines used phrase matching technology where it uses it�s immense databases which already have indexed information stored for the exact words in order giving results based on the exact word matches and then gives results that have any of the individual words making a search a long and arduous process.

SEO’s the Future

The can enter bearing the signature of one version and spread to other systems with different signatures at each instance. The only way to be protected is to have and install protection from the bottom up, where intrusion prevention is installed right after the OS making the inventory it takes as pristine as possible. That way any modifications to the system are seen and noted allowing you the best chances for avoiding intrusion. Everything you do on the internet can be a trigger for malware to get into a system. Entering a site, downloading pirated music or software, using P2P to get your latest tracks, download codec’s that are not installed automatically, etc. and the list is endless. Everything you can do can be a trigger which is kind of paranoid (keep of the net and you don’t get attacked) but the safest approach would be to stay off the net which would be impossible. The only possible, total solution to all these problems would be to re-do the net. It has been proposed and seen by many as crazy, taking the internet down just for a few minutes causes mass paranoia and tempers to flair. Blame the guys who designed and first used it to send files in the old days. Blame just everybody else including you for contributing to the internet.
