Blu Ray disc

Blu-ray, also known as Blu-ray Disc (BD), is the name of a next-generation optical disc format jointly developed by the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA), a group of the world's leading consumer electronics, personal computer and media manufacturers . The format was developed to enable recording, rewriting and playback of high-definition video (HD), as well as storing large amounts of data. The format offers more than five times the storage capacity of traditional DVDs and can hold up to 25GB on a single-layer disc and 50GB on a dual-layer disc. This extra capacity combined with the use of advanced video and audio codecs will offer consumers an unprecedented HD experience.


While current optical disc technologies such as DVD, DVD±R, DVD±RW, and DVD-RAM rely on a red laser to read and write data, the new format uses a blue-violet laser instead, hence the name Blu-ray. Despite the different type of lasers used, Blu-ray products can easily be made backwards compatible with CDs and DVDs through the use of a BD/DVD/CD compatible optical pickup unit. The benefit of using a blue-violet laser is that it has a shorter wavelength than a red laser , which makes it possible to focus the laser spot with even greater precision. This allows data to be packed more tightly and stored in less space, so it's possible to fit more data on the disc even though it's the same size as a CD/DVD. This together with the change of numerical aperture to 0.85 is what enables Blu-ray Discs to hold 25GB/50GB.


Blu-ray is currently supported by more than 180 of the world's leading consumer electronics, personal computer, recording media, video game and music companies. The format also has broad support from the major movie studios as a successor to today's DVD format. In fact, seven of the eight major movie studios are supporting the Blu-ray format and five of them are releasing their movies exclusively in the Blu-ray format. Many studios have also announced that they will begin releasing new feature films on Blu-ray Disc day-and-date with DVD, as well as a continuous slate of catalog titles every month.

Calculations Using DOS

The command processor CMD.EXE comes with a mini-calculator that can perform simple arithmetic on 32-bit signed integers:

C:\>set /a 3+2
5
C:\>set /a 2*(9/2)
8
C:\>set /a (2*9)/6
3
C:\>set /a "31>>2"
7

Note that we had to quote the shift operator since it would otherwise be misinterpreted as a "redirect stdout and append" operator.

For more information, type set /? at the command prompt.

Component Object Model (COM)

What is COM ?

COM stands for Component Object Model, which is binary specification for software code re-use. It has a standard that is imposed for the interfaces through which client talks to the component classes. The component’s IUnknown interface helps to maintain a reference count of the number of clients using the component. When this count falls below zero, the component is unloaded.

All components should implement the IUnknown interface. The reference count is maintained by the following methods
IUnknown::AddRef()
IUnknown::Release()
and interface discovery is handled through IUnknown::QueryInterface().

Firewall

Personal Firewall Choices

What is a firewall ?
A system designed to prevent unauthorized access to a private network or a system. Firewalls can be implemented in both software and hardware, or a combination of both.
lets see various firewalls :

Microsoft Windows Firewall -- The Vista and XP Service Pack 2 operating systems have personal firewalls built in that are turned on by default to block threats from the Internet. You should leave this feature turned on until you replace it with third-party software and/or hardware.

Two-Way Third-Party Personal Firewall Software -- These firewalls block both incoming and outgoing threats. A computer has outgoing threats when it becomes infected with a virus , trojan or spyware . Two common ways to address this are by vendors including a list of safe software for the firewall to check and/or by issuing a pop up alert to the user asking for advice on what to do.

Recommended products :

• Zone ALarm Pro from CheckPoint [retail & free versions]
• Sunbelt /Kerio [freeware & retail versions]
• Comodo [freeware]

Internet Security Software Suites -- These products include two or more security features such as a personal firewall, anti-virus, anti-spyware and more. Recommended retail products with links to vendors:

• Norton Internet Security 2007 or Norton 360 from Symantec include personal firewall and protection from viruses, worms, spyware, intrusion, phishing and root kits. Also includes behavioral monitoring features. The free online add-on pack includes anti-spam, parental control, confidential information blocking, and ad blocking. "Norton 360" adds automatic backup and restore with 2 GB of online storage, PC tune up and embedded support components.
• Zone Alarm internet security suite from CheckPoint features include network, program and operating systems firewalls, antivirus, identity theft protection, anti-spyware, spy site blocking, auto-learn, privacy protection, IM protection, game mode, essential email security, wireless PC protection, parental control, and smart defense service.

Hardware Firewalls -- A hardware firewall is usually a small box that sits between a modem and a computer or network. The firewall is either based on "network address translation" (NAT) which hides your computer from the Internet or NAT plus "stateful packet inspection" (SPI) for more protection. There are three basic types of hardware devices that include firewalls for home users, routers and broadband gateways . They can be used in addition to a software firewall on each computer because they run on a separate box preventing most compatibility problems. Recommended broadband gateway retail product with link to vendor:

• Zone Alarm Secure Wireless Router from CheckPoint with SPI firewall, gateway antivirus and additional features.

Important Tip -- Never use two personal firewall software products at the same time. Fully uninstall one before installing another to prevent compatibility problems.

10 Ways to Defend Against IM Threats

Consumers can protect themselves from viruses, worms, and Trojans delivered through IM. By following some basic rules, it’s easy to keep these threats from slowing you down.

• Choose your screen name carefully. Don't use your real name, email address, or other personally identifiable information.
• Only share your screen name with people you trust, and ask them to keep it private. Only communicate with people on your contact or buddy list. To prevent “spim” (IM spam), use settings to block messages from people you don’t know.
• Don’t display your screen name or email address in public places such as Internet directories or personal profiles. Some IM services link your screen name to your email address when you register. Consider setting up a secondary email account if this is the case, since your address could be harvested for phishing attacks.
• Never provide private information like account numbers or passwords in an IM conversation. Network sniffers can intercept unencrypted IM traffic. Anti-virus software and a firewall will protect you from Trojans and viruses, but cannot protect your information once it leaves your PC.
• Fortify your computer with strong security software and keep it up to date. The security suite guarantees trusted PC protection from viruses, hackers and spyware. Its cutting-edge features include X-Ray for Windows®, which detects and kills rootkits and other malicious applications that hide from anti-virus programs. Its integrated anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewall, anti-spam, anti-phishing, and backup technologies work together to combat today’s sophisticated, multi-pronged attacks.
• Configure your IM application correctly. Make sure it does not open automatically when you fire up your computer. Turn off your computer and disconnect the DSL or modem line when you’re not using it.
• Enable automatic Windows updates, or download Microsoft® updates regularly, to keep your operating system patched against known vulnerabilities. Install patches from other software manufacturers as soon as they are distributed. A fully patched computer behind a firewall is the best defense against Trojan and spyware installation.
• Configure your anti-virus software to automatically scan all email and IM attachments and downloaded files. Never open attachments from people you don’t know. If you know the sender, contact them to confirm the file is trustworthy. Beware of spam-based phishing schemes—don’t click on links in emails or instant messages.
• Be careful when using P2P file sharing with IM. Trojans sit within file sharing programs waiting to be downloaded. Avoid files with the extensions .exe, .scr, .lnk, .bat, .vbs, .dll, .bin, and .cmd. Configure your file settings to limit the folders that other users can access.
• Monitor and limit your children's use of IM. Put the computer in a high traffic family area and limit nighttime use. Parental controls in the firewalls or any security suites help parents control the information that their children receive and send.

LINUX

The Linux kernel, pronounced 'linnuks' is the heart of the Ubuntu and many more other operating system. A kernel is an important part of any operating system, providing the communication bridge between hardware and software.

Linux was brought to life in 1991 by a Finnish student named Linus Torvalds. At the time, it would run only on i386 systems, and was essentially an independently created clone of the UNIX kernel, intended to take advantage of the then-new i386 architecture.

The Linux kernel has gained an ideological importance as well as a technical one. There is an entire community of people who believe in the ideals of free software and spend their time helping to make open source technology as good as it can be.People in this community gave rise to initiatives such as Ubuntu, standards committees that shape the development of the Internet, organizations like the Mozilla Foundation, responsible for creating Mozilla Firefox, and countless other software projects from which you've certainly benefited in the past.The spirit of open source, commonly attributed to Linux, is influencing software developers and users everywhere to drive communities with common goals.
