				Retro Thing - Vintage Gadgets and Technology
				Posted September 10, 2008 by AnukulCategories: Gadgets,  Technology
				Tags: Retro, Technology, Gadgets, Vintage
					
Retro thing is an independent vintage gadget website run by a team of renegade elves based in Calgary and Chicago. Each month they present a never-ending stream of classic and almost-classic gizmos and books.
The site was started by James Grahame, a vintage technology addict who appears to have two first names. Bohus Blahut (BOH-hoosh BLAH-hoot) joined the editorial team in early 2006. Giles Perkins from onSuper8.org occasionally drops by, as do a few other Retro friends.
These guys are independent bloggers who love to share technology and do the best to share links when they can. Readers can also send in links and hints.

				A Guide to Etiquette on the Net - “Netiquette”
				Posted September 10, 2008 by AnukulCategories: General,  Internet
				Tags: Etiquette, Internet, Net Manners, Netiquette, Netizen
					Internet etiquette, or Netiquette (Wikipedia Definition) guides us in proper behavior on the Internet. There are widely accepted rules of behavior to follow when you’re online. It is very important to learn and follow these rules.
Sometimes the online world can feel “pretend” because you cannot see the person with whom you are communicating. So, it is very important to remember that you are dealing with “real” people online and you should use your very best manners - just as you would at home or at school.
As a newbie (someone new to the Internet) you do not want to venture into cyberspace until you are familiar with the acceptable rules of Internet behavior. There are a few tips that can help you feel more comfortable with the new situations cyberspace will throw at you. With a little practice you can become a responsible Netizen.
Here are some things to remember anytime you are online:
Do unto others, as you’d have others do unto you. Be polite and courteous at all times. Remember that you’re not communicating with a computer screen, but with a human being who has thoughts and feelings just like you. So, always think of the person on the receiving end of your messages.
Do not TYPE ALL IN CAPITAL LETTERS for emphasis. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE SHOUTING. If you need to emphasize a word, use asterisks, like *this* or lines, like _this_.
Remember that the written word is hard to interpret. When you speak to someone, that person can hear the tone of your voice. If they can see you, they can take visual clues from your face and body to better understand your meaning. All of this is lost in text, and sometimes responses can come across as mean or rude, even when you did not intend them this way. This is the reason some people use emoticons (visual clues) in their e-mails, it saves a lot of confusion.
Be careful not to use rude or bad language online. Many providers will terminate your account.
Don’t break any laws. When you’re on the net, follow the same rules of behavior that you would in real life. Remember, if it is against the law in the real world, it is against the law in cyberspace.
Be universal. Other users have different Web browsers, different online services, different e-mail programs etc. So don’t, for example, send out e-mail with text formatting — boldface, italics, indentations, etc. — because many other programs will not be able to read the formatting and the recipients will receive your e-mail filled with muddled codes.
Be brief whenever possible. No one wants to read through a lot of unnecessary information. If you are replying to an e-mail, try editing out unimportant information and anything that is repeated.
Don’t flame. Do not send rude or offensive e-mails or postings. It’s bad manners and can get seriously out of hand (flame wars). So don’t flame others and if you are flamed, do not respond: you will never win. If you are flamed in a forum or chat room, or if you receive hateful e-mail, let your parents or teachers know.
Always identify yourself. If your parents require you to use an online name instead of your real one, that’s fine - use your online name consistently. Never send e-mail without including your name at the bottom of the e-mail. Similarly, don’t post forum messages without identifying yourself, this is seen as rude.
Make a good impression. Remember that the written word is the only way you can represent yourself online, so spelling and grammar count. If you are going to be writing a large amount of text for other people to see, make sure you break it up using paragraphs, it will make it easier on the eye for those that will read it.
Be patient with newcomers. Once you have become an Internet expert, it is easy to forget that you started out as a newbie too. Learning the rules of cyberspace is much like learning a new language; it takes practice, and includes making mistakes. So if you come across someone else’s mistakes on the net, don’t put them down, just politely point them in the right direction for guidance (send them a copy of these rules to get them started on their way!).
Things to remember about your e-mail account:
* Check e-mail regularly… so you can respond quickly
* Delete messages after you read them… frees up storage space for more productive use
* Don’t send confidential information in your mail… others may be able to read/access it
* Don’t be hasty when you send… if you write a message when you’re upset, wait before you send it
* Respect the privacy of others… don’t share someone’s email address without their permission
* Always fill in the subject box so people can see what the mail concerns
* Don’t send chain letters… they’re as annoying on the internet as they are in real life
Things to remember when participating in a discussion group:
* Before asking or responding in a newsgroup, take the time to feel the group out
* Stick to the topic of the discussion group
* When quoting someone, use only the portion of the quote that is absolutely necessary
* Avoid “flame wars”
* Don’t send personal messages to an entire newsgroup, use e-mail

				What is Information Security ?
				Posted September 9, 2008 by AnukulCategories: Internet,  Security,  Technology
				Tags: IT Security, Information Security, IT, Internet Security, Data Security
					Information Security (Wikipedia Definition) is a broader term than IT Security or Internet Security or Enterprise Data Security.
Information Security encompasses data stored in digital fashion (electronic format), trade secrets, know-how, intellectual property rights, historical data, information on data access, policies and procedures laid down, compliance & standards established within the organization, plans and budgets, financial & management data, brochures, images, logo and designs, employee information and so on and so forth.
Information Security includes the organization’s policy on IT Security, Internet Security, Enterprise Data Security, etc.,. To put it in other words, it looks at protecting / safeguarding information and information systems from anyone including employees, consultants, suppliers, customers and of course, malicious hackers.
However, people often confuse information security with IT Security. IT Security is a term which is more concerned with the protection of hardware, software and a network of an organization, from the perils of disaster and external attacks (through virus, hacking, etc.,). It is more to do with the electronic data and is covered in the IT Policy of an organization, whereas Information Security Policy goes beyond the network and applies to the organization as a whole.
Internet Security (Wikipedia Definition) on the other side, is more concerned with the internet architecture and covers the protection required during communication between two computers over the internet / intranet.
There is also another school emerging, claiming that Information security is about securing information in the broadest sense. Information security should be governed by the exec management through goals, strategies and finally as policies. The technological side of things are left to specialists - and include physical security, logical security, HR and information management. Corporate governance and internal control are key to succeed.

				Use Docstoc to Share and Discover Documents online
				Posted September 3, 2008 by AnukulCategories: Internet,  Online Storage,  Technology,  Web 2.0
				Tags: Docstoc, Document sharing, File Storage, Online Document storage, Professional Documents, Web 2.0
					Docstoc is the premier online community to find and share professional documents. Docstoc provides the platform for users and businesses to upload and share their documents with all the world, and serves as a vast repository of documents in variety of categories including legal, business, financial, technology, educational, and creative. All documents on docstoc can be easily searched, previewed and downloaded for free.
The main idea behind Docstoc (beta) is to be a warehouse for all forms of documents, want to find an NDA doc, go to Docstoc (beta), need a rental contract on short notice, Docstoc (beta) it. Basically every thing I tried to find I was able too find including incorporation paperwork for start up businesses.
Categories of Documents
As mentioned, Docstoc is geared towards professional documents, so you will find various document types under the following categories:
* legal
* business
* financial
* technology
* educational
* creative
Document Filtering
You can filter the documents that you view by either document type or language. Examples of document types you can view include:
* Adobe PDF
* MS Word
* MS PowerPoint
* MS Excel
* Rich Text Format
* Plain Text
Using Docstoc as File Storage
Once you create an account, you can begin uploading your documents. At this point there is no limit on how many documents can be uploaded. And because you have the option of keeping your documents private, Docstoc could potentially be a solution for backing up your documents. They did say that at some point in the future, they might have to put a limit on the number of documents people can store, but for now it remains unlimited.
Docstoc OneClick
Docstoc wanted to make it easy for users to email large documents without needing to attach files. Their solution for this is Docstoc OneClick. Once you download the OneClick application (for Windows only, unfortunately), you will be able to right click on supported file types and choose the option to email them (either as private or public). They do limit you to 50mb in size per document.
Sounds interesting already? Docstoc provides an interesting solution for the blog owners as well for sharing documents in several popular formats (.doc, .pdf, .xls, .ppt) with the blog readers. Embedding the document in the blog or Web Site is easy as ABC. The entire process consists from five steps:
1. Upload your document to Docstoc Web Site, or find a document already residing in your Docstoc
account, or any other public accounts. You can even upload document anonymously, if you do not feel
like register or login.
2. Get to the page where the document is uploaded.
3. Find the embed code on the right from the document display page and copy the code inside the box in
full.
4. Change the embedded object settings if needed (for example, box display box dimensions).
5. Embed the code on your blog or Web Site.
Read more about it at Docstoc Blog.
Overall Opinion…Docstoc does a decent job of providing users a place to find and share documents. They’ve got a community rating and comment system that could potentially be useful, but it doesn’t get used nearly enough. Whether you are looking for a sample contract, a budget planner, or a term paper, Docstoc does a pretty good job of helping users find the documents they need online.

				Surprise! Here Comes Google Browser - Chrome
				Posted September 2, 2008 by AnukulCategories: Browser,  Internet,  OpenSource,  Technology,  Web 2.0
				Tags: Browser, Portable, Internet, Google, Chrome, TechCrunch
					In an unexpected announcement, Google has launched Chrome - it’s very own browser. A direct take on the likes of the Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Opera, this new announcement is bound to intensify the already red-hot browser war. While it was rumored that Google was working on a project like this, no one expected a release anytime in the near future. However, it is now clear that Google did spend a substantial amount of time and resources to develop this. And what’s more? Google roped in two engineers working on Firefox as well to help them make the Chrome!
An open source browser, the Chrome is all set to be released later today in over 100 countries! It is interesting to note how the chain of events started off. A cartoon strip was sent by Google to the owners of Google Blogoscoped - which described the features of “an upcoming” browser from Google. Barely hours after the details were posted, Google made the announcement official with a blog post on the Google blog.
Apart from being Open source, the Chrome as expected, would be based on the existing Webkit rendering engine and will support tabbed browsing. For starters, Webkit is used by Safari and will power the upcoming Android platform as well.
Here is a run down of the features that the Chrome is likely to sport. In any case, by the end of the day we should have all the details we need. Here they go.
Tabs
Just when you thought tabbed browsing could not become any better - or could add more features, Google comes up with this. The Chrome, unlike other browsers comes with a task manager of its own to check which sites eat up more memory. All of the sites open at a time can be monitored individually. What this means is that in case one of sites in the tabs decides not to respond, you will find the option to close that tab using the task manager and eventually prevent the whole browser from crashing. This is good news especially for those who hate to see the “Restore Session” button 10 times a day. That said, the placement of the tabs too has changed - with Chrome, the tabs would be seen at the top of the Window and not at the usual place. Though they did not choose to go radical on the lines of the Avant browser which gives you the option to place tabs at the bottom of the page.
JavaScript
Chrome comes with support for JavaScript engine V8, which again is an open source initiative to boost JavaScript heavy applications. Although we will need to wait till we can comment on the actual boost in performance, it does sound promising. On a different note, the new V8 engine (we’re not talking about cars here!) would be available for other browsers as well - thanks to its open source ancestry.
Address Bar
Nothing special in here- apart from Google’s auto-complete feature called the Omnibox. Omnibox reportedly will offer a multitude of unobtrusive suggestions, which may include sites you had visited in the past, popular sites and displays the search engine of your choice as well. Another feature is its ability to detect what site-specific search engines you had used. For example, if you used the Techtree search for finding a specific topic, you can simply type in “T” followed by your keywords.
Speed Dial: The Google way!
A speed dial like start-up is also available where you can see your most visited websites. The 9-screen layout is similar to Opera’s speed dial. On the sides, you will also see options and quick links to recently added bookmarks and recently closed tabs.
Incognito
Incognito is the Google term for the now famous “porn mode” which enables discreet browsing with no traces of your online activity - on that computer that is. Internet explorer calls it the Inprivate. Not much of a difference here - except that this is one feature that the other two biggies, Opera and Firefox chose to ignore.
Security
On the security front, the Chrome is supposedly said to update its database of rouge websites so that it can prevent you from exposing your computer to risks involved by visiting these sites. Additionally, since all tabs are sandboxed (a security mechanism for running programs safely) the risks involved are greatly minimized.
Well, that sums it up. This was just a brief preview into what could turn out to be one of the best alternative browsers out there. If you are the impatient type and want a quick peek, have a look at some screenshots from a video grab here. It remains to be seen if the web community accepts Chrome wholeheartedly -and just because it’s from Google, it need not necessarily be the best!
More Screen shots are available at TechCrunch.
