Zuckerberg outlines idealistic Facebook mission in IPO filing

Mark Zuckerberg

IPO filings aren’t just a great way to raise money, they’re also a perfect place for young CEOs and idealistic internet companies to grandstand and proclaim their altruistic motives. Whether or not you buy what they’re shoveling selling is something different. Google had “do no evil,” now Facebook has it’s own mission statement, though, it’s admittedly quite scatter brained. Buried deep in the IPO filing is a letter from Mark Zuckerberg to investors in which he lays out Facebook’s mission and role in improving the world. Zuck doesn’t think his social network is about poking cute girls and tilling virtual fields, he “”hope[s] to change how people relate to their governments and social institutions.” And, lest you think every move is some calculated ploy to free you from the burden of cash or personal information, the billionaire CEO explains, “we don’t build services to make money; we make money to build better services.” For the complete letter head on after the break. Trust us, whether you trust and like Zuckerberg or not, it’s an interesting read.

Disney Mobile on DoCoMo brand launches with two new Android phones in Japan

It appears Disney’s mobile efforts in Japan are going pretty well, and with the help of carrier NTT DoCoMo they’re expanding under the joint “Disney Mobile on DoCoMo” brand name. The partnership is kicking off with two new Android-powered handsets launching over the next couple of months that pack in access to exclusive content from Disney like full-length animations, games, wallpapers and more. First up is the F-08D (left), a “luxury smartphone” that features silhouettes of Mickey and Minnie Mouse, a 4.3-inch HD (720×1280) LCD display, dual cameras and 1.2Ghz dual-core OMAP4430 CPU available in pink or white next month with preorders opening up February 17th. Next up is the P-05D (right), which has a slim 7.8mm thick frame, rear camera and 4.3-inch 540×960 res OLED screen all powered by a dual-core 1Ghz CPU that will launch at some point in March. Check out the press releases after the break for a few more details on each of these Japan-only cellphones, or hit the source link for even more specs — no word yet on pricetags or which version of Android these will end up launching with.

iPhone 5 features

As the previous releases have launched, any issue of Apple is met by quite a few buffs by the corporation’s fans, especially when it comes to the iPhone. What with rumors floating around about the Apple iPhone 5. As the date of the assumed issue of the smartphone comes closer, hope about the type has now rise up to a fever-pitch, with people figuring left and right about the probable attributes of the variant. This article takes a look at some of the things people are expecting to see in the Apple iPhone 5 mobile phone.

Expected Apple iPhone 5 features

One of the features people are excited to see in the Apple iPhone 5 is a more powerful processor. In line with sources, the iPhone 5 is thought to have a 1 GHz dual-core processor, the same processor that is installed in the iPad 2. This means that the iPhone 5 will be having a more powerful processor compared to the iPhone 4, which is not a lightweight when it comes to hardware.

The camera is also awaited to get a boost in the iPhone 5. Aside from having a higher resolution (with rumors pegging it at 8 megapixels, which is a huge improvement from the 5 megapixels of the iPhone 4), the smartphone is also expected to come with a built-in flash feature in order to make it compete with the latest Android phones. Rumors are also circulating about the iPhone 5 having a 3D camera, however, not a lot of experts believe that this feature will be released with this phone. A more likely feature that the iPhone 5 will have will be panoramic imaging support, as well as the ability to record high definition videos at 1080p.

Because of the prevalence of Apple merchandises in general, it comes as no shock that there are several gossips roaming about the iPhone 5. Yet, Apple is yet to verify or deny any of these gossips, so until the firm issues more information about the model (or until the iPhone 5 actually gets released), there are no certain attributes that people can think from this model, a fact that does nothing to dull the excitement of people about this smart phone.

Problems with Yahoo Messenger 11

I have been repeatedly been trying to upgrade to Yahoo Messenger 11 on my Toshiba Satellite L657D.  I have not been able to make video or voice calls to anyone, even people who also have Messenger 11 and 10, which should work.  I have contacted Yahoo about this problem and after working with them for a couple of hours there was not resolution of the problem.  I also have another desktop (HP) and Messenger 11 works just fine there.  Both computers have the same firewall settings etc.  Both go through the same wireless router. ( Even with a direct connection to my cable modem, Messenger 11 on the Toshiba doesn’t work)  If I down grade to Messenger 10 on the laptop everything works fine and I can make the calls.  Has anyone else had a problem like this or something similar?  Any ideas as to how to fix the problem.

Clicking sound every time using extermal mouse or touchpad

SatelliteP770-PSBY3U-03L01Q As mentioned above, there is a loud(depending on speaker vol) clicking sound whenever the mouse or touchpad button is pushed that causes the computer to perform an operation. This is very annoying as it does it all the time, if the sound is on. Makes listening to music, playing games, and just working with the computer a pain in the —-. The noise sounds like relays opening/closing!!

ANY IDEAS other than not using the sound??

T-Mobile brings Square to select small businesses, does the mobile payment thing

T-Mobile is throwing some of its weight behind the mobile payment movement this morning, becoming the first carrier to offer Square credit card readers to a handful of retail outlets. Under the company’s new campaign, stores equipped with T-Mobile smartphones will be able to use Jack Dorsey’s readers to finalize transactions from the comfort of their palms. This should come in handy for cash-only businesses, in particular, as T-Mobile emphasized in its announcement today. It’s all part of the provider’s lineup of small business offerings, though not every retailer will be involved at launch. To see the full list of Squared-up outlets, check out the source link below.

These 7 Countries Are The Gaping Holes In Europe’s Cyber Security


swordfish hacking

Think of a hacker, and chances are, you’re thinking of an Eastern European. It’s sad but true.

However, it terms of cyber-security, its a little more complicated than that.

“There is a cyber-security paradox: the less sophisticated and widespread a country’s connection to the internet, the lesser the cyber-threat,” says the McAfee and Security & Defence Agenda’s new report on global cyber security.

The report looks at individual countries, making assessments using a five-step roadmap developed by Robert Lentz, President of Cyber Security Strategies. 

The parameters range from the basic rules of internet hygiene and tools like anti-virus, ?rewalls, such as electronic signatures; to “standards and data exchanges to create a robust and interoperable cyber ecosystem” and advanced sensors and intrusion prevention systems. The countries were rating from 5 to 1, with five being the highest.

While Europe on the whole did pretty well, the fiscal crisis has stretched countries thin, and the report exposed plenty of holes in its internet defense measures.

Spain

Score: 4 stars

Pros: Spain has a number of Computer Emergency Readiness Teams (CERTs) and a National Intelligence Service (CNI).

Cons: There is no single authority and no national cyber strategy to deal with internet crime and attacks.

(Source)

Denmark

Score: 4 stars

Pros: It has a national CERT and a contingency plan for cyber incidents.

Cons: The contingency plan has not developed into a cyber strategy, and the integrated national ID system has been frequently hacked into, leading to increasing identity thefts.

(Source)

Austria

Score: 3.5 stars

Pros: The country has a national CERT and a sophisticated e-government.

Cons: A cyber strategy is lacking and defense measures are outdated and understaffed, thanks to political apathy. Companies also have no legal obligation to report security breaches.

Information About Web Videos Discussed In Depth

Video viewing on the web is greatly influenced by the internet connection speed and the delivery rate of the video. The speed of your internet connection will determine the data delivery speed and thus will have a good influence on your video viewing experience. However, this is not a guarantee because there is another factor that will influence this. High speed internet connection will not guarantee that video viewing will be 100 percent good and fast. The video delivery rate or the flow of data from the server to your computer will also be a factor. For a great video viewing experience, these two factors must come hand in hand.

The video delivery rate, or the flow of data from the host video server to your PC, will depend on how the video is streamed between the two. If there are barriers or interruptions, from the video server to your computer, your video streaming will have interruptions also. The distance between the host server and your PC will also be a factor. If the host server is also a busy server, with several thousands simultaneously accessing it, there will be interruptions and you will not see continuous video streaming as discussed here.

However, you can increase the speed of your video streaming, and when you apply this you will see an improved video streaming experience. When you use this software to accelerate the videos you viewed, you will observe fast and continuous video loading. You will not experience anymore video loading that will take several minutes, and loading will also be in leaps forward, aside from being quick. Video loading and streaming will be a much better experience with the help of this software.

Internet connection speed will not be a guarantee of great video viewing experience. You will sometimes observe that even if you have a high speed internet connection, your internet experience will be rather slow. Factors such as congestions, or several internet users in your area, or the actual distance between host server and you, will be high influencing factors. The volume of users accessing the server will also influence your viewing experience, with the videos hosted by that server.

Your web video viewing experience will be enhanced with the application of this software and improve video streaming. With the video software you will have high quality video while efficiently adapting to the bandwidth condition processing, for effective video streaming. In your area, your shared bandwidth that your internet provider imposes on your area may be congested during peak hours. With the application of this video software, your bandwidth sharing allocation will be processed, enhanced and improved. Video viewing will be with a great experience, and this will be to your best advantage.
