China to issue 3G licenses

China will issue third-generation mobile phone licenses as early as this month and expects companies to spend 200 billion yuan ($30 billion) on installing equipment, the industry minister said Friday.

China has the world’s biggest population of mobile phone users and adoption of 3G — which has been long delayed — was eagerly anticipated by equipment suppliers, which are seeing demand elsewhere decline due to the global financial crisis.

“The 3G licenses will be issued either later this year or early next year,” Li Yizhong, whose ministry regulates telecoms, said at a news conference.

Third-generation mobile phone technology supports Web surfing, video downloads and other added services. Its adoption in China is expected to boost demand for mobile service and spur growth of new services.

Spammers Use Legit Sites to Trick Search Engines

Scammers are using redirector links on interactive Web sites belonging to magazines, universities and even Microsoft and the Internal Revenue Service to take visitors to their malicious links, reports Computerworld.

In his blog, Gary Warner, director of research in computer forensics with the University of Alabama at Birmingham, warns that search engines have been tricked into returning malicious links to tens of thousands of search terms through redirector links from blog comments, guestbook entries and fake blogs.

Microsoft and the IRS have fixed the problem, but about 20 Web sites are still affected, according to the story.

3G and 3.5G Phones - New Technology,New Way of Life

With the advancement of technology mobile phones have become more sophisticated than ever. Do you still remember those mobile phones with a limited set of features? If not, it's a quick reminder-the earlier mobile phones were used only for talking-there was no camera feature, no music feature. It's just a matter of few years back, mobile phones had witnessed the tremendous growth in technology. Built-in VGA camera is passé. Mobile users are now using high resolution cameras to store their memorable moments forever. Technology is vrooming ahead at a lighting speed. Isn't that?

Most of the latest mobile phones are 3G enabled. Now, what is 3G? 3G (third-generation) is a wireless communication technology that has emerged from the first generation analog and second generation digital communication systems. 3G is capable of offering increased voice capacity and higher-speed data rates. It allows users to receive TV signal, stream video and send large files.

What's more, with the help of 3G technology you can make face-to-face video calls. The entire Nokia N-Series range including Nokia N76, Nokia N80 is 3G enabled smartphones. Other manufacturers like Sony Ericsson, Samsung, Motorola have also brought some high end 3G phones like Sony Ericsson W880i, W850i, W950i, Samsung F500, F510, F520, Motorola KRZR K3, RAZR Maxx, RAZR V3x, RAZR V3xx and so on. But the most sought-after 3G phone available in the market at the present time is the Nokia N93i.

Another technological wonder that is creating great stir in the 'mobile fraternity' is 3.5G. 3.5G is nothing but a technology standard used in HSDPA. Now, what does HSDPA mean? HSDPA is an acronym for High Speed Downlink Packet Access. It's an improvement upon the 3G protocol for mobile telephone data transmission.

HSDPA provides download speeds equivalent to an ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) line on your mobile phone. Theoretically speaking, with HSDPA it is possible to reach data transmission speeds of 8-10 Mbps. That is the reason, HSDPA enabled mobile phones are more faster than the WCDMA 3G phones.

Could Obama’s Mac Force Different Thinking..?

It has been awhile since the U.S. has had a celebrity president. As the president-elect prepares to take the job, many of us are starting to wrap our minds around what that means. Generally, it means influence and a popular interest in the products and tools he uses that goes beyond any other U.S. chief executive we have had for some time. Our first inkling of this was with his BlackBerry and whether he would be allowed to keep it. Then it was his Zune, which seemed to light up the Internet with discussion of whether his loyalty to Apple was wavering. This got me thinking about his Mac. Obama could become one of the most powerful Mac advocates in the history of Apple, driving Macs into government and business. But that is definitely a dual-edged sword; Apple’s margins are probably not consistent with what the U.S. government and its partners are willing to pay for PCs. Let’s talk about how Obama’s Mac could change desktop PCs and Apple forever.

Employee Choice

Every few months, the analysts that cover desktop PCs get together and discuss the trends they have been seeing. Largely due to Apple’s success, these analysts have increasingly been pointing to that company as a bellwether that is driving the other firms to focus more on design for both their consumer and corporate lines. Another trend we have been talking about is employees and departments making their own PC choices, either using personal funds or the increasingly dispersed departmental P&L responsibility to allow personal PC choices into the company.

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I started tracking Macs moving into large enterprises in this manner. During a time of massive economic shortfalls, IT’s ability to resist the associated cost savings or push back against the organizations that actually have budget authority is increasingly more limited.

Now, we have a U.S. president who likely will be bringing his own Mac into the job. It is hard to believe that he will restrict others from this privilege, given his strong position against favoring the rich and powerful. He could be a harbinger of things to come as his own choice is first allowed and then emulated by others who want to be more like their charismatic leader.

The trend could move rather quickly once the approvals are in place and Apple could see a ramp-up in PC sales that the company has never before enjoyed. It could also create some interesting side effects.

Apple Margins

If you have ever done business with the government, as I have, you learned quickly that the process truly sucks. The government, to avoid any implication of windfall profits, cuts a very aggressive deal. And just to ensure no one gets a better one, it puts in most favored nations clauses, ensuring that it always gets the best discount out there. This pretty much means that vendors sell to the government at near cost and, because it is the government, in high numbers, which can do some rather interesting and painful things to average margins.

Then, as if that weren’t painful enough, it requires rooms, and I’m not exaggerating here, of documentation and certifications. The vendor must assure its ethnic mix, assure its vendors, and even make sure it isn’t doing business with the wrong companies or countries. And that is only the tip of iceberg when it comes to the massive amount of expensive hoops a government vendor has to jump through.

Even if just government employees are allowed to purchase their own products, it’s hard to believe that the new CTO won’t negotiate volume deals so that these underpaid government workers can better afford what they purchase.

Security

Another common theme in these analyst meetings is how Apple doesn’t take the security of its platform seriously. Much like Microsoft until this decade, Apple appears to be in a state of denial when it comes to security. It recently flip-flopped on whether Apple users needed antivirus or antimalware in general. With the U.S. president using a Mac, this cavalier attitude to security now has a high-profile risk. The resources focused on compromising Obama’s laptop will truly be national in scope as other governments try to use his relatively unsecure laptop, compared to NSA-certified laptops, as a way into otherwise secure government systems. Attacks are clearly shifting to more generic browser-based methods and Trojans, according to a recent Finjan report. Some work on the Mac and others may make the Mac a carrier.

In addition, as the use of Apple notebooks spreads in government, the likelihood of a major breach goes up astronomically and unacceptably. This could have two effects: Macs could be banned, or a requirement could be put in place that Apple comply with government policy and build TPMs, fingerprint readers and card readers, and put tracking software like Absolute’s on the machines that are sold to government. In any case, it will put a massive security focus on the platform. In short, all of this could force Apple to step up to its full responsibility of protecting users against an increasingly hostile Internet world.

Wrapping Up

The President-elect will bring a lot of changes. One of the most interesting may be the freedom in both government and large businesses to allow employees to choose their hardware. These choices could benefit Apple greatly but also force it to conform to a number of practices that have both plagued and benefited PCs over the years. In the end, the Mac, for the first time since the early days of Apple, could once again be mainstream, with all that that represents. I wonder if, in the end, Apple and Mac users will see this as a good thing.

Panasonic Financing Options Sign of Coming Times

Economic times are tough and one of the biggest problems for companies that need to buy critical technology is getting financing and protecting critical cash reserves. Banks and financial institutions are simply not able to reliably lend at the moment, which is forcing some vendors, like Microsoft, into their own reserves. Others, like Panasonic’s Toughbook Division, put programs in place to assure that their customers can continue to make purchases — and Panasonic can continue to benefit from sales. This practice is becoming widespread and includes other big names like HP and IBM.

Looking at the Cause

I met with the folks from Panasonic this week to better understand what was going on. What they were seeing was that the economic downturn was resulting in a knee-jerk reaction to either postpone or shelve entirely critical IT projects that used Panasonic Toughbook solutions. Those projects had previously been set as a high priority and intended to improve critical operational efficiencies. In some cases, they saw instances where specs were modified to accept inferior products that [...]

How PHP handles file uploads

The term “upload” means moving a file from one computer to another, but as far as PHP is concerned, all that’s happening is that a file is being moved from one location to another. This means you can test all the scripts in this chapter on your local computer without the need to upload files to a remote server.

PHP supports file uploads by default, but hosting companies can restrict the size of uploads or disable them altogether. Before going any further, it’s a good idea to check the settings on your remote server

WIRELESS


When viewed as a method of data transport, wireless technology appears very similar to wired technology. You have a piece of hardware, a method of transmission, and connections on both ends that transform data from human-intelligible to transportable and back. For both wired and wireless technology, the range of transmission is an issue. You can't move your laptop 15 feet from the wall jack when depending on a 10-foot cable. Similarly, you can't go out for a jog and expect your in-home cordless phone to keep a connection five miles away from its receiver.

But if you get either a 20-foot cable or a wireless connector of sufficient power, you can move your laptop 15 feet away from the wall jack; and if you get a cellular phone, you can go jogging five miles away from your house and still take calls (as long as your service provider has a reasonable antenna set up). The methods of connection and ranges of service available vary in wireless technology just as they do in wired technology. Home telephones with a wireless handset have a more limited range than cellular phones; infrared transmissions have a more limited range than radio-wave (including microwave) transmissions. Different types of wireless solutions can communicate ten feet, ten miles, or with a satellite in orbit.

According to its name, wireless local area network is a link between some unit computers without using cable as a media. In this case, used a micro radio wave through air as a media with the frequency 2,4 GHz. This Frequency is a frequency ISM (Industrial, Medical & Science) where Indonesia and most state in world have ratified the agreement agreeing using of above mentioned frequency for the sake of industry, health, and science. The existence of the international agreement minimizes the problem of interference frequency with the facility of military and or governmental.

Frequency use 2,4 Ghz for the WLAN by empiric have given very good result especially for the tropical zone, considering wheatear condition which relative stable and at least magnetic trouble from earth. Optimal reach which can be reached till 25 km, on condition that each antenna transmitter and receiver could 'see' each other (good of line of sight, LOS).

ISP (Internet Service Provider)

ISP (Internet Service Provider) is a company or agency business that sells Internet connections to customers, or the like. ISP's are identical with the initial phone network, as the first ISP to sell Internet connection or access through the telephone network. As one instant Apnic from Telkom.
Now, with the development of technology, the ISP is not only using the telephone network, but also using technology such as fiber optic and wireless. In Bali, especially in denpasar ISP with wireless technology, most grow.


What are the contents of the ISP?

ISPs that the content is the people and equipment necessary to provide Internet connection service to its customers equipment is usually the form of servers, routers, equipment to connect to its customers and equipment to interconnect their upstream. ISPs usually work with network operators in running the business. So there are ISPs that do not have network equipment. They only have the human resources to sales, customer support and billing or billing. The rest, start-bandwidth, the network system, submitted to the network operator. For example, my ISP is working with the owner of the phone network to make the system a dial-up Internet connection. I also buy bandwidth from the owner of the phone network and I accept all wrong. After that I live sell Internet dial-up, the system provides customer support and handle payments.

GSM Modems

A GSM modem can be an external modem device, such as the Wavecom FASTRACK Modem. Insert a GSM SIM card into this modem, and connect the modem to an available serial port on your computer.

A GSM modem can be a PC Card installed in a notebook computer, such as the Nokia Card Phone.

A GSM modem could also be a standard GSM mobile phone with the appropriate cable and software driver to connect to a serial port on your computer. Phones such as the Nokia 7110 with a DLR-3 cable, or various Ericsson phones, are often used for this purpose.

A dedicated GSM modem (external or PC Card) is usually preferable to a GSM mobile phone. This is because of some compatibility issues that can exist with mobile phones. For example, if you wish to be able to receive inbound MMS messages with your gateway, and you are using a mobile phone as your modem, you must utilize a mobile phone that does not support WAP push or MMS. This is because the mobile phone automatically processes these messages, without forwarding them via the modem interface. Similarly some mobile phones will not allow you to correctly receive SMS text messages longer than 160 bytes (known as "concatenated SMS" or "long SMS"). This is because these long messages are actually sent as separate SMS messages, and the phone attempts to reassemble the message before forwarding via the modem interface. (We've observed this latter problem utilizing the Ericsson R380, while it does not appear to be a problem with many other Ericsson models.)

When you install your GSM modem, or connect your GSM mobile phone to the computer, be sure to install the appropriate Windows modem driver from the device manufacturer. To simplify configuration, the Now SMS/MMS Gateway will communicate with the device via this driver. An additional benefit of utilizing this driver is that you can use Windows diagnostics to ensure that the modem is communicating properly with the computer.

The Now SMS/MMS gateway can simultaneously support multiple modems, provided that your computer hardware has the available communications port resources.

Information technology

Information technology (IT), as defined by the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA), is "the study, design, development, implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems, particularly software applications and computer hardware." IT deals with the use of electronic computers and computer software to convert, store, protect, process, transmit, and securely retrieve information.

Today, the term information technology has ballooned to encompass many aspects of computing and technology, and the term has become very recognizable. The information technology umbrella can be quite large, covering many fields. IT professionals perform a variety of duties that range from installing applications to designing complex computer networks and information databases. A few of the duties that IT professionals perform may include data management, networking, engineering computer hardware, database and software design, as well as the management and administration of entire systems.

When computer and communications technologies are combined, the result is information technology, or "infotech". Information Technology (IT) is a general term that describes any technology that helps to produce, manipulate, store, communicate, and/or disseminate information. Presumably, when speaking of Information Technology (IT) as a whole, it is noted that the use of computers and information are associated.
