Yahoo plans to remove any limitation concerning storage space for e-mails, allowing users to keep all of their messages forever. Back in 2006, some confidential information leaked from Mountain View, about a possible online storage service, dubbed GDrive, that was supposed to be the solution to users’ ever-increasing need for storage space. That was the …

Internet users should look for sufficient security protection when selecting free web mail providers. Not all free services provide virus protection, says Stuttgart-based magazine Connect. They instead require users to pay for comprehensive protection for their electronic mailbox. Free mail services are also poorly suited for mobile users, the magazine writes. Users must pay around 5 euros (6.7 dollars) to perform address synchronization for their cell phone or PDA while on the go, or to be informed of new messages by SMS. Those looking to store large files should also be aware that the storage space is also not unlimited.

Gary McKinnon, the Brit who carried out the ‘biggest military computer hack of all time’, has lost the High Court battle against his extradition in the United States where he is accused for gaining access to 97 US military and NASA computers in 2001 and 2002. Lord Justice Maurice Kay and Mr Justice Goldring dismissed McKinnon’s legal challenge on Tuesday, adding that they can’t find any legal grounds for the appeal. McKinnon’s lawyers claimed on Tuesday that their client has been subjected to ‘improper threats’ and the Home Secretary John Reid’s decision to extradite him would break his human rights. Lawyer Ben Cooper announced that they plan to address to the House of Courts, the highest court in the land. Cooper claims his client was threatened by the US authorities and he mentioned a New Jersey prosecutor who said that McKinnon ‘would fry’. Moreover, Cooper suggested that McKinnon has a …

Today Microsoft released a patch to fix the dangerous zero-day Windows vulnerability involving animated cursor files and Windows XP SP2. Also the patch issued today fixes six other vulnerabilities.

Saat saya melihat statistik pengunjung situs ini dan memperhatikan beberapa percobaan pencarian dengan beberapa keywords. Saya menememukan keanehan terhadap hasil pencarian dari google. Dari beberapa diskusi, beberapa temen menyatakan ini adalah pengaruh datacenter. Tapi setelah diteliti, apakah seharusnya demikian.? Kita lihat contoh kasusnya. Situs ini di hosting di hosting di Amerika (US) (*sekarang sedang ada masalah dengan hostingnya, tambahan beberapa hop dari routing tablenya membuat situs ini sering down). Jika kita menggunakan perintah site:john.nikkitranmaster.com pada google.com hasilnya normal dengan option dari web maupun halaman indonesia. Jika menggunakan perintah site:john.nikkitranmaster.com pada google.co.id dengan memilih option “telusuri di web” hasilnya normal, tetapi jika perintah site:john.nikkitranmaster.com pada google.co.id dengan option “telusuri halaman dari indonesia” maka hasilnya akan blank. Tak satupun halaman ke-index di google. Tapi beberapa situs lain tidak mengalami keaadan separah ini, masih ada halaman yang di-index, meskipun jumlahnya tidak sebaik jika menggunakan google.com.

Diputar, dijilat, dicelupin. Anda sudah tahu ini iklan apa. Produk itu sudah diiklankan dengan kata-kata yang sama kurang lebih sejak lima tahun yang lalu, atau bahkan mungkin lebih lama dari itu. Namun, pernahkan Anda melihat iklan terbaru produk itu sekitar Januari 2007 ini? Ada tiga orang anak perempuan berpakaian balet dengan masing-masing produk tersebut di tangan mereka. Ada masing-masing satu gelas susu di depan mereka, karena produk itu memang dicelupin terlebih dahulu ke susu sebelum dimasukkan ke dalam mulut.

Saya sependapat, jangan mau jadi orang gajian. Kita hanya jadi bawahan yang terlalu banyak aturan, kerja sudah bener disalah-salahin, terikat waktu dan tata tertib. Nah solusinya ada, berwiraswastalah. Kalau tidak punya modal, pinjam dulu, jadi ada 3 hal usaha yang bisa kita lakukan yaitu BODOL, BOTOL, BODOL. Mungkin masih kedengaran aneh di telinga, namun resep ini berguna bagi yang merasa ragu-ragu dan terlalu banyak perhitungan dalam berusaha yang malah menghambat rencana untuk berwirausaha.

Microsoft Corp. has developed a next-generation mobile browser, Deepfish, whose aim is to render web pages with similar quality to a desktop system. The company has made the announcement at the ETech conference in San Diego, Calif., this Wednesday. Deepfish is a new approach to mobile browsing: instead of trying to fit the page to the mobile screen, losing some of the original layout and quality, it tries to maintain the full-form page and its interface enables you to zoom in and out. The page’s layout is preserved, so navigation menus, lists of search results of news headlines and other element can be browsed simply, the team said. In other browsers, such material might have been “bent so thoroughly to fit the usual single column layout that they were no longer legible,” the Live Labs team wrote. “Think about your mobile browsing experience today,” Gary William Flake, director of Microsoft …

Google continues its string of technical innovations. On April 1st, to celebrate the ~500th April Fool’s Day, they launched a new service: Google TiSP (Toilet Internet Service Provider) BETA. The new internet service, codenamed “Dark porcelain,” delivers online connectivity via users’ plumbing systems. “We’ve got that whole organizing-the-world’s-information thing more or less under control,” said Google Co-founder and President Larry Page, a longtime supporter of so-called “dark porcelain” research and development. “What’s interesting, though, is how many different modalities there are for actually getting that information to you – not to mention from you.” “I couldn’t be more excited about, and am only slightly grossed out by, this remarkable new product,” said Marissa Mayer, Google’s Vice President of Search Products and User Experience. “I firmly believe TiSP will be a breakthrough product, particularly for those users who, like Larry himself, do much of their best thinking in the bathroom.” As …
