Facebook to Launch and Enables Internet Protocol 6 (IPv6) Earlier on 18th May

Kamis, 03 Mei 2012

Galaxyneon -Good news for Facebook Developers, that Facebook is going to launch the next generation Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) on 18th May, 2012. Officially Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) will be launch on 6th June, 2012 after successfully testing of IPv6 last year June 8th 2011 but now the next generation Internet Protocol (IPv6) is coming on world's top social networking website Facebook a few weeks earlier. Facebook Developers will be able to begin working with the IPv6 version of Facebook on May 18, 2012 to prepare for the Internet’s global upgrade to the broader set of addresses on 6th June, 2012.

Last year Facebook had also participated in testing of this new Internet Protocol v6 one year prior, on June 8, 2011. IPv6 will provide more than four billion times as many addresses as the current Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) providing. You would be thinking why IPv6 is going to introduced after IPv4? And where's Internet Protocol version 5 (IPv5) gone? So the answer is the version IPv5 skips because the experimental protocol IPv5 proved unfit to launch after IPv4. The next generation of Internet Protocol v6 is also a vital version because the current Internet’s addressing system IPv4 has run out of free space and it needs to be upgraded with latest technology. Every internet tech device of internet based on a unique address to communicate with other systems and devices so it’s important to make conversion to IPv6 which provides over 4 billion times more addresses than IPv4 is providing today. Latest Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) will assure everyone including (Users, ISPs, Organizations, Governments, and Companies) have direct and open access to the Internet without any technical interruptions.

According to Facebook Blog Post about Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6);

With the World IPv6 Launch coming on June 6th 2012, Facebook has committed to enabling IPv6 access for our users on most of our HTTP and HTTPS endpoints. Based on the results of last year’s IPv6 test on June 8th 2011, we are confident that enabling IPv6 on our platform will be a success. On May 18th, we will be enabling IPv6 on beta.facebook.com ahead of World IPv6 Launch to give our developer community time to discover issues and report bugs back to us.

How Safe and Secure Smartphones and Tablets Really Are?

Mobile Security: Smartphones and Tablets Advancement and Network Security Issues and Concerns

 

The rapid advancement of Smartphones in the past few years has also sparked a demand for mobile security. With the recent hacker outbreaks targeting companies like Sony and even the Department of Defense, the need for increased security on both computers and smart-phones is at an all time high.

This applies not only on a consumer level, but also on the enterprise hosting level. Employees are now finding ways to get around some of the security on corporate networks to connect their own smartphones and tablets. You may be thinking, “Who cares if they connect to the network?” but the answer is scarier than you may realize.

In an age where real-time information has gone from being a privilege to a necessity, you must make sure that all the personal information stored on corporate networks does not become vulnerable to mobile security attacks. Once connected to a corporate network, all personal information stored on the user’s smartphone or tablet becomes available for potential threats. These can include personal things such as names, addresses, and credit card numbers but also corporate information from work emails. Enterprise hosting often provides added security benefits from IT providers.

According to CRN.com, 77% of users believe that using your mobile device in the workplace is essential; this creates a vast amount of information that is open to security threats.

In addition, all corporate data stored on these devices are readily available to any hacker if you are ever connected to an unsecured network outside of the workplace. Implementing solutions to not only manage your mobile platform, but also secure it are a must, something that many companies can easily miss. 

How to Keep Your Mobile Phone Information Data Safe and Secure?

According to a recent Ponemon Institute survey, 51% of security breaches in the U.S. occurred as a result of mobile devices. This is a problem that can be fixed by implementing a security solution to not only protect the network, but the data stored on the network, something which holds great value to a corporation. Exar.com is yet another Network Security, Communications and Security Corporation providing best and affordable Network Security, Communications, Connectivity, Power and Storage Optimization service to individuals and organisation all over world. 

Given the shrinking gap between the Smartphone and the personal computer, making sure the data on all your devices stays secure is an absolute must.

Security solutions, however, are only part of the problem. Educating the employees about data security and intrusion can drastically help with the prevention of stolen data. If they are aware that their own personal data is at stake, they are more likely to take measures to stop it from getting stolen. The IT departments can only do so much if the user is not complying with certain protocols so employee education and cooperation is also necessary.

Intel enters mini-computer fray with Core i5-powered NUC

Galaxyneon -  The mini-computer game has so far been dominated by upstarts such as FXI and Raspberry Pi, but a big name is getting ready to join the party, too. Intel first demoed its NUC (Next Unit of Computing) at PAX East in April, but details are just hitting the web now. One standout spec is the NUC’s 10 x 10-cm (4 x 4-in) form factor, which places it between the Raspberry Pi and Mini-ITX boards in terms of size. Moreover, the NUC packs a Core i3 / Core i5 Sandy Bridge chip with last-gen Intel HD 3000 graphics, and sports Thunderbolt, HDMI and USB 3.0 sockets on the back. There’s a heatsink and fan assembly on board, too, and the mini PCIe connectors leave the door open for added functionality. Because it runs an Intel Core i5 CPU instead of the ARM processors found in options such as the Cotton Candy and Raspberry Pi, the NUC promises to be a more powerful mini-desktop. But don’t get too excited: Intel envisions it as a component in digital signage instead. Look for Intel’s mini-PC at a kiosk near you in the second half of 2012, when it’s expected to drop.

RIM demos simple app switching in BlackBerry 10, slide to reveal

Galaxyneon - BlackBerry 10 is no joke on the multitasking front. The QNX-based OS may be a long time coming, but it really is offering something for the modern user that needs to switch between several apps. Instead of going the task list route, as webOS and Android have done, RIM’s latest simply lets you swipe to reveal background tasks. Drag your thumb from left to right to peek at other apps that are currently running in the background. You can simply glance at them and go back to the foreground, or you can actually swipe back to go to programs launched earlier. It’s slick, intuitive and perhaps the most familiar multitasking solution to those accustomed to the desktop metaphor.
