When it comes to the network, I’m a selfish guy. I want to use my computer and phone anytime, from anywhere, and with anyone. I want it all and when it is convenient for me. I honestly don’t feel too bad about this selfish streak since everyone I know wants the same things from the network. Most people don’t care about problems that result from sharing the network – they just want unlimited and uninterrupted access.

To meet this need, the Internet, public services and many corporate networks are moving to IPv6, a newer version of basic IP protocol. Why is there such a need to change when the existing standard, IPv4, is still running our networks just fine? Well, quite frankly, the world is running out of IPv4 addresses. Current fixes to share IPv4 addresses among users and devices cause performance, scalability and reliability problems as new devices and new video, voice, and collaborative applications become pervasive.

What’s the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?

First and foremost IPv6 extends the number of addresses significantly. The Internet, based on the venerable IPv4 packet format, has been burning most of the available addresses (roughly 4 billion) in its first 25 years of existence. IPv6 enhances the length of the address field from 32 bits to 128 bits, resulting in enough addresses to cope with the growth of the Internet for centuries to come, and enabling true borderless connectivity (anybody, anything, anywhere, anytime).

source from: Monetizing Social Networks: The Four Dominant Business Models and How You Should

The business models within the social media realm are much different than traditional businesses. In social networking, they’re ever-changing, backed by eye-opening revenue and have very little documentation.

Reason: as soon as someone sits down to outline ways social networks can be monetized, another model emerges, and another model ceases. For this reason, this piece will be routinely updated with new models and new feedback from your comments.

Below are the Four Primary Business Models in the social networking space that I’ve experienced–they primarily are concerned with Facebook Applications. There may be others, or extensions of these, or even ideas out there that have yet to be tested yet are profoundly viable. All additions are welcomed.

Upgrade from the break-room bulletin board and one-way customer e-mail lists--your business can take advantage of its own Facebook-like social network. You might try Facebook itself, of course, but the clash of business and personal communications could leave your vacation photos mingling with company news, and could lead to a lot of goofing off on company time. Instead, turn to a social network platform to make your own distinct site. Many services, including Grou.ps and SocialGO, offer functionality similar to that of Facebook; but in this tutorial I'll focus on Ning, which has been established for a few years and offers customization tools that can make your site behave almost any way you want.

Within your company, you could rely on a Ning social network to maintain schedules for anything from managing workgroup projects to organizing an office softball team. Calendar tools, blog-style posts, comments, and other systems could help connect people. And you could post photos and videos to recap events.

How to set-up HOMEGROUP WINDOWS 7, click me

by Jake M. Black

Win32 Vundo.H, a new variation of the Vundo Trojan Virus, is a notoriously malicious Trojan virus that severely affects the operation of your pc. It blankets your pc with a lot of infuriating advertising pop-ups of fraudulent antivirus downloads. The Vundo virus commonly causes denial of service errors while surfing Yahoo and other secure websites. It attacks major internet browsers like IE (Internet Explorer), Mozilla Firefox, and Opera.

The Vundo Virus is a difficult removal due to the fact that it resides in your pcs active processes through an internet executable file. After that, it secures itself within IE and the Winlogin processes.

It is often a struggle to close your administrator windows logon processes. This is why when you attempt to remove its DLL files you receive a message reading that the file is in use.

Even when you are successful in removing pieces of the the trojan, it will swiftly re-install with every boot. The Vundo Virus is known for making a lot of DLL processes labeled by eight random lower and upper case numbers, symbols, and letters which might get found with your spyware protection software instead of the infected DLL program.

f you're anything like me, you fall into certain habits when using programs such as Apple Mail--you get used to using the same small set of core features all the time and tend to overlook capabilities that are less obvious, though no less useful. Based on my own experience and my observations of several other Mail users, I've compiled a list of seven truly helpful features that often go unnoticed (applicable to both Leopard and Snow Leopard versions of Mail).

1. The Photo Browser

I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to mail someone a photo, and my first impulse was to launch iPhoto (and then drag an image into Mail or use iPhoto's Share -> Email command). But there's a quicker and easier way. In Mail, just choose Window -> Photo Browser. A floating window appears instantly, showing the complete contents of your iPhoto library. Locate the picture you want, drag it into a message window, and you're done.

2. Plain Text

This may be a bit of a personal bias, but I like to receive e-mail in plain text (so that I get to decide what font, size, style, and color messages use). I also like to extend that courtesy to others. Mail uses Rich Text by default for outgoing messages, but you can change this by choosing Mail -> Preferences, clicking on the Composing icon on the toolbar, and choosing Plain Text from the Message Format menu. (To change the format for an individual message, choose Format -> Make Rich Text or Format -> Make Plain Text.) To force incoming mail to display in plain text by default (which isn't possible for all messages), you need to quit Mail, open Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities) and enter the following command: defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool TRUE. To switch to styled text (if available) when viewing a plain-text message, choose View -> Message -> Best Alternative.

3. Multiple From addresses

If an e-mail account has more than one valid From address (for example, if you use jk@example.com as an alias to joekissell@example.com), you can configure Mail to let you use any of those addresses when sending a given message from that account. First, choose Mail -> Preferences, click on the Accounts icon on the toolbar, select your account, and click on Account Information. Then, in the E-mail Address field, enter all the addresses you might use with that account, separated by commas. Close the Preferences window and click on Save. Now, when you compose a new message, you can choose any of those addresses from the From pop-up menu below the Subject field.

4. Activity window

Does Mail seem to take an awfully long time to check or send messages? If you're curious to know what it's up to behind the scenes, choose Window -> Activity (Command-0) to display a floating window showing each operation Mail is currently performing. You can stop any given activity by clicking on its Stop icon.

5. Connection Doctor

If you encounter problems sending or receiving mail, you don't need to guess at the nature of the problem. Find out exactly what's wrong by choosing Window -> Connection Doctor. Mail then checks each of your incoming and outgoing account connections, and displays a window with a plain English description of any problems it found, usually with advice for fixing them.

6. Send Again

Suppose you sent a message to a bunch of people and you realize you forgot someone. Instead of opening the message in your Sent mailbox, copying its contents, and pasting it into a new message, just select the message, choose Message -> Send Again (Command-Shift-D), and replace the existing recipients with the new one(s). The subject and message contents remain the same as before (although you can edit them if you like).

7. Remove Attachments

Attachments--whether in messages you've received or copies of outgoing messages in your Sent mailbox--can chew up a lot of disk space. If you use an IMAP or Exchange account that imposes a storage quota, this can become a significant concern. Luckily, Mail can remove attachments from stored messages, and if you've already saved a copy of the attachments elsewhere, using this feature is a good idea. Locate one or more messages with attachments and choose Message -> Remove Attachments. Behind the scenes, Mail duplicates the message (omitting attachments) and deletes the original.
