Mega Datacenters - Microsoft goes online

Microsoft is back in gear and ready to open at least two of them next month.

Microsoft officials had slowed work on a datacenter in Chicago and another facility planned in Des Moines, Iowa, late last year, as the economy sputtered.

However, if the company really wants to win the battle for cloud computing dominance as the concept catches on, Microsoft executives knew they had to ante up to build mega datacenters -- bad economy or not.

HR MANAGER LOVE LETTER

   To
       Juliet


  Sub: Offer of love!
  Ref: Meeting in coffee shop

  Dearest Ms Juliet,
  I am pleased to inform you that I have fallen in Love with you since the
  14th of October (Saturday).

  With reference to the meeting held between us on the 13th of Oct. at 1500
  hrs, would like to present myself as a prospective lover.

  Our love affair would be on probation for a period of three months and
  depending on compatibility, would be made permanent. Of course, upon
  completion of probation, there will be continuous on the job training and
  performance appraisal schemes leading up to promotion from lover to spouse.

  The expenses incurred for coffee and entertainment would initially be shared
  equally between us. Later, based on your performance, I might take up a
  larger share of the expenses. However I am broadminded enough to be taken
  care of, on your expense account.

  I request you to kindly respond within 30 days of receiving this letter,
  failing which, this offer would be cancelled without further notice and I
  shall be considering someone else.

  I would be happy, if you could forward this letter to your sister, if you do
  not wish to take up this offer.

  Wish you all the best!

  Thanking you in anticipation,

  Yours sincerely,

  HR Manager

Dell Launches Consumer Advertising for Ubuntu Linux PCs

It's one small step for Dell and consumer Linux — and one giant leap for Canonical's Ubuntu Linux efforts. Specifically, Dell is spending advertising dollars to promote PCs with Ubuntu Linux preinstalled. The move has significant implications for the business world as well. Here's why.

First, some details about the advertisement. Many many U.S. newspapers on Sunday, October 12, included a multi-page Dell flier. Among the many products advertised was the Dell Inspiron Mini 9, a low-cost sub-notebook designed for email and Web browsing.

The Bigger Picture

So, why should you care? For starters, so-called Netbooks like Dell's Mini 9 represent the fastest growing portion of the PC market. Starting at $349, the Mini 9 is positioned for students and business professionals on the go.

It's not a complete PC replacement. Rather, it's a mobile WiFi device with an 8.9 inch screen, and custom Web 2.0 applications that keep you connected with friends and business associates.

Most Netbooks — from Asus, Dell, Toshiba and soon even Lenovo — offer either Windows or Linux pre-installed, meaning that there's real competition and real customer choice available.
Corporate Ubuntu

The VAR Guy believes Netbook momentum will spill into the corporate market, where executives on the go want the convenience of email and online application access without the hassle of a big laptop or the limited screen of a smart phone.

If Ubuntu can impress consumer Netbook users, that positive first impression could help Canonical's operating system push deeper into the corporate market.

Also of note: There are indications that WiFi service providers such as T-Mobile may offer Netbooks for free as part of ongoing wireless Internet service contracts. The move could further legitimize Ubuntu-powered Netbooks as mobile corporate devices.

Anyone who doubt's Ubuntu's growing momentum in corporate settings should check out the Work With U 1000 — a list of businesses and organizations running Ubuntu on servers, desktops and/or laptops.

The Computer Look At Your Face And Tell You Your Age

Like an age-guesser at a carnival, computer software being developed at the University of Illinois can fairly accurately estimate a person's age. But, unlike age-guessers, who can view a person's body, the software works by examining only the person's face.

"Age-estimation software is useful in applications where you don't need to specifically identify someone, such as a government employee, but would like to know their age," said Thomas S. Huang, the William L. Everitt Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the U. of I.

For example, age-recognition algorithms could stop underage drinkers from entering bars, prevent minors from purchasing tobacco products from vending machines, and deny children access to adult Web sites, said Huang, who leads the Image Formation and Processing group at the university's Beckman Institute.

Estimating someone's age is not an easy task, even for a computer. That's partly because the aging process is determined not only by a person's genetic makeup, but by many other factors as well, including health, location and living conditions.

"Human faces do convey a significant amount of information, however, and provide important visual cues for estimating age," Huang said. "Facial attributes, such as expression, gender and ethnic origin, play a crucial role in our image analysis."

Consisting of three modules – face detection, discriminative manifold learning, and multiple linear regression – the researchers' age-estimation software was trained on a database containing photos of 1,600 faces.

The software can estimate ages from 1 year to 93 years. The software's accuracy ranges from about 50 percent when estimating ages to within 5 years, to more than 80 percent when estimating ages to within 10 years. The accuracy can be improved by additional training on larger databases of faces, Huang said.

In addition to performing tasks such as security control and surveillance monitoring, age-estimation software also could be used for electronic customer relationship management.

For example, a camera snapping photos of customers could collect demographic data – such as how many adult men and women buy burgers, or what percentage of teenagers purchase a particular soft drink.

Or, combined with algorithms that identify a person's sex, age-estimation software could help target specific audiences for specific advertisements. For example, a store display might advertise a new automobile or boat as a man walks by, or new clothing or cosmetics as a woman walks by.

"All of this can be done without violating anyone's privacy," Huang said. "Our software does not identify specific individuals. It just estimates their ages."

Huang is affiliated with the university's Center for Advanced Study, Coordinated Science Laboratory, Information Trust Institute, and department of computer science.

Funding was provided by the National Science Foundation and the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity. The researchers published their findings in the two journals IEEE Transactions on Multimedia and IEEE Transactions on Image Processing in 2008.

Laptop Security Basics

Step 1 - Set a password for all administrator accounts, including the hidden Administrator account in Windows XP and Vista. You can access the Admin account in Windows by booting into safe mode. This is accomplished by mashing F8 frenetically as the computer first powers on.

Step 2 - Once this is done, train yourself to lock the computer (Windows key + L in Windows) every time you are away. This will prevent Joe Blow in an adjacent office/dorm room or anyone that happens upon your laptop from sitting down and potentially doing nasty things. Or possibly simply annoying things...like relatives that find if funny to deposit naughty gifts on your desktop.

Step 3 - Secure yourself against telling everyone your password.

Step 4 - Change all administrator passwords from time to time. Realistically this only happens once every six months at best unless you are paranoid.

Unfortunately these passwords are the least secure of all in terms of physical security. Windows XP and Vista passwords are easily wiped out using a variety of applications on boot CD's. I've used four different applications, and I imagine there are many more out there.

The same theory applies to Mac and Linux operating systems as well, although password resetting programs for these OS's are far more obscure. Mac passwords are slightly more secure purely because fewer people know how to reset them (security by obscurity). It took me over an hour one day to figure it out and that was with Google on hand to aid with research.

Google, HSBC back initiative to provide internet access to ‘other 3 billion’ people

Google has joined hands with HSBC and cable operator Liberty Global to support a group called  O3b Networks , which stands for the ‘other 3 billion’ people who do not have internet access.

O3b Networks seeks to provide cheap, high-speed internet access via satellite to millions in Africa, Asia and other emerging markets where it is not commercially viable or practical to deploy a fibre network.
