Google Fast Flip is Here

Google has just recently released Fast Flip, Google's newest service that will allow you to read internet articles the way they should be read, like a magazine. You flip pages, just like reading a book. Making it more convenient for readers to enjoy every bit of what they are reading.



The service is meant to duplicate the look and feel of perusing a printed publication. The stories are displayed on electronic pages that can be quickly scrolled through by clicking on large arrows on the side instead of a standard Web link that requires waiting several seconds for a page to load. Readers can sort through content based on topics, favorite writers and publications.

For now, Fast Flip will only  show first page of a story. Readers who want to continue will have to continue will have to click through to the publishers site, where they display reverts to a traditional Web page.

More than three dozen publishers, broadcasters and Web-only outlets have agreed to share their content on Fast Flip. The participants include two major newspapers, The New York Times and the Washington Post, as well as large magazines like Newsweek and Business Week.

The publishers providing the stories to Fast Flip will get most of the revenue from the ads the Google intends show in the new format. That's a switch from Google's main search page and it's news section, where the Mountain View-based company keeps all the money from ads shown alongside headlines and snippets from stories.


Fast Flip is the latest step that Google has taken to improve its relationship with newspaper and magazine publishers, many of whom have railed against the company for profiting from their articles without sharing wealth. The acrimony has escalated as a three-year decline in the print medium's ad revenue accelerated during the past year. The newspaper industry's ad sales plunged 29 percent during the first half this year while Google's crept up 4 percent. In another example of cooperation, Google recently offeredto help newspaper publishers set up a system to charge readers for access to parts of their Web sites.

While the notion of Google funneling more sales to publishers is appealing, news executives also want to ensure that Fast Flip doesn't become too popular. Publishers still want readers to come to their Web sites, where they can sell ads without giving Google a peice of the action.

Finding A Virus Scanner That Works

When it comes to online threats, freshness counts. In mid-December, for example, Microsoft revealed that cyber criminals had found a never-before-detected, unpatched vulnerability in its Internet Explorer browser, allowing tens of thousands of Web sites to install password-stealing software on users' PCs.



 That kind of new attack--what cybersecurity researchers call a "zero-day" exploit--tests the limits of antivirus-scanning software's ability to not only filter previously detected infections but also compete with the cutting edge of cyber-fraudster innovation. And for consumers, it makes choosing the right PC protection software harder than ever.

The best performers in the firm's tests? Two names most Americans have never heard of: the German company Avira and the Slovakian firm ESET. And those rankings, cybersecurity analysts say, may reflect just as much on the industry's growing pains as they do on the two firms' ability to clean up your hard drive.

In Pictures: Grading 10 Antivirus Vendors

Video: Goodbye Anti virus, Hello White listing

Avira, based in Tettnang, Germany, won AV-Comparatives' label as the overall best anti virus product of 2008, based on its ability to pull more malicious files off hard drives than big name competitors like Symantec, McAfee and Microsoft in less time and with less impact on a PC's performance.

In the latest AV-Comparatives tests performed last month, for instance, Avira found about two-thirds of the previously undetected malware--collected over a four-week period--installed on the machines it scanned. ESET's NOD32 program found 51%. Symantec and Microsoft, by comparison, found only 44% of those samples, while McAfee's detection rate was below 30%.
Andreas Clementi, AV-Comparatives' chief executive founder, chalks up Avira's apparent superiority to the fact that the company has a smaller user-base than its larger competitors, so it can more quickly pipe out new virus watch lists to users without dealing with a massive network. "Symantec, for instance, is used by many millions more people around the world," Clementi says. "Smaller companies can be faster in releasing updates. Symantec has to be careful: If it caused a false alarm, it would create much more trouble for those millions of users."

But AV-Comparatives' top ranking for Avira isn't the last word in antivirus vendor ranking. In fact, the evolution of malicious software means measuring the efficacy of antivirus vendors is more complicated than ever.

n its quarterly cybersecurity showdowns, AV-Comparatives uses 50 1.5-terabyte hard drives packed with a uniform set of newly collected malicious software from "bait" computers around the world.
In half of its tests, it pits anti virus software against previously detected malware and measures the software's ability to successfully scan those big disks. In the other half, it "freezes" a version of the antivirus software, waits a month without updating it and tests it against all the malware the testers have collected during that month. That technique is designed to check the antivirus softwares' ability to find previously undetected breeds of malicious code.

But even in those elaborate tests, AV-Comparatives may not be measuring the newest features of anti-malware programs, protests Symantec's senior director of product management, Dave Cole. The next generation of malware detection, he argues, is "behavior-based" detection, which filters out bad files based largely on how they act over time after they're installed on your PC--not just their appearance at the moment of a scan.

"We used to know it was bad because it was 'the bumpy Trojan,' " Cole says. "Now we know it's something bad because it grabs your keyboard, sends your data to China."

Another test last September by a German antivirus analysis firm called AV-Test, however, may have captured those behavior-based scanning features. AV-Test, in fact, gave Symantec top marks for the kind of "proactive" scanning that Cole describes. Avira, however, fared far worse.

The real winner, it turns out, may be ESET, which placed near the top of both AV-Comparatives' and AV-Test's "proactive" scanning tests. The company, whose antivirus software serves more than 70 million users largely in Russia and the U.S., claims its secret is "advanced heuristics," the ability to statistically recognize a familiar piece of malware in a new form.

"Viruses today are constantly shifting. They're like wolves in sheeps clothing," says Jeff Brosse, ESET's director of North American research. "Recognizing that malware is where we excel."
ESET began working on heuristics long before other antivirus companies, says John Hawes, a researcher for the British virus analysis online newsletter Virus Bulletin, and it has been able to avoid the false alarms that plague most heuristic tests. "They've struck a good balance between strong heuristics and false positives," he says.

Hawes' own tests backs up the other two: He says that the 16-year-old company has been on the newsletter's VB100 certification list more times than any other firm.
But the real outcome of the two tests may be to show how outmoded signature-based malware detection has become. The fact that Avira could outperform competitors and only catch two out of three new types of malware, says security blogger and consultant Rich Mogull, shows that without real behavior-based detection, cybersecurity can't keep up.

In fact, he says the real key to defeating malware isn't antivirus but approaches like Firefox's no-script plug-in, which blocks Web pages from running potentially malicious programs. Mogull also advocates software platforms like Windows Vista or Google Chrome that "sandbox" or limit applications' access to computer resources. "You give applications a very small, safe place to play in," he says.

Until those kinds of security features become commonplace, the explosion of different malware breeds means antivirus vendors will be fighting a losing battle, Mogull says. "Tests can show which of these work better, but they're all far from perfect," he says. "The truth is, it doesn't really matter which is better. The bad guys will scoot around any of them."

Internet Traffic Chokers Exposed by Google (Republished)

Google has begun offering tools to expose Internet service providers (ISPs) that choke traffic or shift users into slow lanes while allowing others to zip along at high speeds.



The online search and advertising king is an unabashed champion of "net neutrality" in which all Internet traffic is treated equally instead of letting service providers give preferential treatment to privileged clients.
"At Google, we care deeply about sustaining the Internet as an open platform for consumer choice and innovation," Google chief evangelist Vint Cerf and principal engineer Stephen Stuart wrote in an online posting.
"No matter your views on net neutrality and ISP network management practices, everyone can agree that Internet users deserve to be well-informed about what they're getting when they sign up for broadband."

Google worked with New America Foundation's Open Technology Institute, the PlanetLab Consortium, and academic researchers to create an online Measurement Lab (M-Lab) that researchers can use to detect Internet traffic manipulation.

"When an Internet application doesn't work as expected or your connection seems flaky, how can you tell whether there is a problem caused by your broadband ISP, the application, your PC, or something else?" Cerf wrote.

"It can be difficult for experts, let alone average Internet users, to address this sort of question today."
M-Lab went online Wednesday with three diagnostic tools running on computer servers near Google headquarters in Mountain View, California.

The tools are available to help users "diagnose common problems that might impair their broadband speed, as well as determine whether BitTorrent is being blocked or throttled by their ISPs," according to Cerf, a computer scientist often called "father of the Internet."

ISPs such as US behemoth Comcast have sparked controversy by clandestinely throttling some traffic, such as peer-to-peer file sharing.

ISPs argue that such measures are necessary to manage growing congestion on the Internet highway. Google has been among those advocating against fettering online traffic, saying that doing so stifles Internet innovation and growth.

M-Lab United States. More diagnostic tools will be added and results made public, according to Google.
"M-Lab is intended to be a truly community-based effort, and we welcome the support of other companies, institutions, researchers, and users that want to provide servers, tools, or other resources that can help the platform flourish," Cerf wrote.

Ways to upload pictures to you Facebook Account

Ever wondered how to upload pictures without logging in to your account on the computer. Here are 3 great and convenient way for you to upload pictures to your Facebook account.Let's tackle these options 1 by 1 shall we?

First, we have the e-mail option, although it would still require you to go to your computer, it removes the hassle of logging in to your account. Before you can use this option you need to get a link from the website allowing you to connect from your cellphone using Wap, GPRS, and 3G. Facebook will also give you your own personalized e-mail address, you will use that e-mail address as your recipient where you will be sending your photos. Remember to save that e-mail address so that you wont have a hard time trying to remember the address as it can be quite long.

Second, we have the Facebook mobile application. This works if you have a high-end cellphone, cellphones that have OVI features. You can also get this application through m.facebook.com or Facebook Mobile you can download this application from there. This application will open a mini browser just for Facebook that will allow you to use you camera feature so you can immediately upload pictures to your account.

Third and the last option, we have the MMS option, now we are all pretty familiar with this technique, since most uploading tasks is commonly done using this technique. We have been using this option ever since we started to utilize the convenience of mobile uploading, to those who are not yet familiar with this techique, here is how it works. But before we go there, you need to check if your phone have already activated the GPRS or MMS function. If you have not yet activated this function yet, it is best to contact your network service provider for assistance. Now, assuming that it is already activated, first thing that you need to do is compose a message on your phone,  select create an MMS your cellphone, attach the image that you want to be uploaded, instead of typing in the number of your recepient, type in the email address, for you are sending this message to an website. Send the message to mobile@facebook.com. After that is done, wait for a confirmation message that will associate your Facebook account with your mobile phone number. Using this option would not be recommended if you have a tight budget, as it is not 100 percent successful. Rate is for this would charged per picture sent.

Hope this will be of great help to you. Enjoy!

Spawn Labs's HD-720

San Francisco - As any a video game aficionado knows, it's easy to pop a game into your Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 and spend hours working your way from one level to the next. Without the hefty console, though, you are out of luck if you want to keep blasting those aliens while away from home.

A startup called Spawn Labs think it has a solution to this problem. Starting Monday, the Austin, Texas-based company began selling a box that is much like a Slingbox - a device that let's you watch your home TV remotely - for video gaming.

Spawn Labs' HD-720 costs $200, or about the same price as Microsoft's cheapest Xbox console. Unlike playing a video game on a Web site, when the box is connected to one of several different gaming systems you can remotely access any video game disc already inside, along with any games stored on the console's hard drive.

You can connect the HD-720 to up to two video game systems, including an Xbox 360, Sony's PlayStation 3, and to a TV set to play games at home. If you install Spawn Labs' free software on a computer, you can then log into the company's Web site and play games remotely in real time, using a video game controller plugged into one of the computer's USB ports or a keyboard.

Spawn Labs, which showed off it's product Monday at the TechCrunch50 startup conference in San Francisco, is also pushing it's product as a way to connect remotely with friends who might not be able to come over and play games with you - instead, you can allow them to access your console online and they can play on a computer from wherever they happen to be.

If you want to let more than one person to play remotely, Spawn Labs sells $30 adapters that plug into the back of the box, enabling group gaming.

You'll need a good Internet connection to use the HD-720: CEO David Wilson said that the box streams video games in high definition video. If a connection isn't speedy enough, though, the HD-720 can show games in standard definition, he said.

"This will take two or three years to fully roll out into the mainstream, probably, and as that happens everyone will have to fat pipe they can play with," he said.

As for any computing requirements, Wilson said that most laptops currently being sold should work well with the device. Some net books may also be able to support the high-definition video, he said.

TEKNO BABBLE: Dota and Dota Players

I could'nt recall the exact month that DOTA has become a craze here in the Philippines. I think if I am not mistaken, I first heard about this game a couple years ago, I think it was in 2006 or 2007 somewhere around there it became a hit to youngsters, until it dominated Online Gaming and eventually it became each and every players game.

But what annoys me, is all these kids playing the game, of course when you think of computer games we always think it's fun, yeah it really is fun, judging from the experience that I had playing the game, I had fun. But for experienced players, it is not just fun, it's more of who is better and who is not.

Based from my experience, being so new to the game I looked like a douche bag, I hate to admit it but I sucked when I first played the game, and for me well it was not that fun due to I received several boos and negative or rather foul yelling and anonymous comments, saying I should stay out of the game because I did not know how to manage my hero, of course somehow it felt as if I wanted to box the guys out. But well, being a professional, I managed to contain myself from being humored and to save myself from further humiliation.

I think in my opinion, the purpose of this game to bring gamers closer and ultimately make friends with each other, it should not be the other way around. And well, people who are more experienced with the game should have the initiative to help those who are starting out. Well, that is all I can say about DOTA.

How to make a Quality Blog Post

For bloggers this has been one of the toughest jobs one needs to overcome. For a few months that I have been blogging I have created some post that did not catch a lot of readers and I have also copied some content during the earlier days of my blogging career. I have created this post because I want to place it on my blog for other people to read it and I want to keep myself reminded of it from time to time.




So here are my own tips on HOW TO MAKE A QUALITY BLOG POST:

1. Best way to start creating your post is of course is to select a topic. While you are still planning of writing a post for you blog, try to think a topic as well. 
2. Research on the topic that you want to write about, try reading on some of the bloggers post and compare all their comments and reviews, and then come up with your own opinion and make your own review about it based on your own research. 
3. After you are done with your research, create a plan on how you would want your post to look like, prepare all the necessary stuff like bookmarking buttons and links to the blog post that you have visited or refer to them on your post. In short create a concept on what you post should be. 
4. After all that is done, it's time to write, and when you write something there is always an introduction, now when you write your intro, make an intro that would make your readers want to read more, make them interested, best way to do that is to write it in your own words, no fancy-shmancy, just plain writing, just like talking to a person, think what is the reason why I have created this post, what made me write this article, and then after that everything will follow.
5. When you are done with your introduction, don't forget to review it as it is important in convincing your readers to continue on reading the whole article. Now, writing the body of the article, when writing the body of the article, this would not be hard because you already have researched about it, but still try to put your thoughts in words more plainly, just use small paragraphs, easy to understand words, and also remember the links, this is where you put your links to other blog post, don't forget to put all the necessary stuff in here, pictures, videos, but don't put unrelated videos or pictures. This would be important because it will help put more value to your post. 
6. After that is done, don't forget to review the your article. 
7. Now it's time to create a Title to for your article. How to create a Good Title for your Blog Post? Okay, this one is hard to do as this is also one of the biggest factors in blogging, it will determine where your blog post will rest in Search Engine Results. My tip for this one to think about a catchy phrase which you think will make the reader think it is an interesting article. 
8. Now, after that here comes tagging or labeling, use Google Adwords if you are unsure of what labels to put that is related to you article, Adwords will help you in that field. Just use meta keywords and descriptive tags.
9. Finally, Publish it!! 

So, those are my 9 tips on HOW TO MAKE A QUALITY BLOG POST. Hope it will be of good use to you.. Thanks! :)) Just keep on posting.

Facebook launches Facebook Lite

Facebook has recently launched a new version of it's website, it's called Facebook lite. This is the stripped down version of the popular social networking site.



This version is called Lite because it is much more simpler, all those apps that people are getting hooked on are not available in this version, users are only limited to using the wall, post photos and videos, view events and most importantly view people's profiles and basically do the most basic things that you do in a social networking site, of course that is to make friends and connect.

Basically this version was created for the purpose of catering regions that has a slightly limited bandwidth, causing the current version to disable some apps. Apparently this version is only available in countries like India and America.

Cute little Humpty Dumpty Dancing

This post is in response to PAB, who commented on my recent post about the Sony Rolly. I saw this video on Youtube and it shows a Rolly dancing, the purpose of this post is to give you an idea on how this little thing dances. For this video, it dances to the tune of Kanye West's Touch the Sky. It is really cute. Take a look....

What is Sony Rolly?

Have you seen an Mp3 player that dances along to the beat of your music? Or have you ever imagined such a thing? That is what Sony Rolly is all about.

This gadget is the newest addition to Sony's vast array of Mp3 players. It is designed to interact with the music that is playing, it is done using a software called Auto Motion Function, Bundled motion editor software, using this software users can configure the motion pattern for the Rolly as well as the timing and color of the LED sidelights.

This might put a new meaning to Mp3 players in the future. But it's definitely fun to stare at this little oval egg-like thingy dancing on your desktop. It's hot. It's gonna be out in the market in Japan later on this month. So you guys watch for it.

Daft Punk: Technologic

I don't know why I am drawn towards everything that is related to technology, I guess it's chemistry. Okay, since this is a technology blog I am going to post this video here, because I like it. There is something about it that makes me boogie. Haha!

Follow Me and I will Follow You

For the past months that I have been using Twitter I really didn't know the real purpose of Twittering. I just signed up for it because I thought it was hot and everybody seems to be doing it. Now after months and months of posting updates and just posting something for my product, because I really wasn't into it at the time I only had like 20 followers. And now it is growing little by little which makes me a little bit amused. This post will be pointed towards how to know if a person is following you or not.

In my case I really don't have that much people following me but I can see that every day there are at least one or two persons that are becoming my followers. In my case when I decided to really put some more time on my twitter account and take it more seriously, I followed every person that I think has some connection to my website which talks a lot about technology.

So now here are the steps:

The first step is of course you have to login to your account. And then, click on the following link below the following no. and that will take you to the page where you can see all the people that you are following. Now, you want to see if that particular person is following you or not, here is how you would know, click on the actions button on the right next to the name of the person you are following. A drop down menu will appear, on the menu you will see @mention, an option that will enable you to message a person, and then below it is the direct message option which is similar to the @mention option. And then below it is the unfollow option which cancels your link to the person, and then finally the last option is block, with this you can block a person message or direct message.

If you wanna check the person if he/she is following you or not you can just see it if you can find the direct message in the actions menu. If that option is there that means that that person is following you. But if it is not, you might as well just unfollow that person. Okay, so that's it. Thanks.

Now, to make money thru blogging is not an easy task and it is definitely not one of those get-rich-quick-scheme bogus
that some other people brag about. If you have spent countless hours and days trying to make your blog look better and attract readers to subscribe to your feed, well the money part won't be that far away from you.

You would have to have a descent number of readers, maybe 50 or a 100 would make the cut. You can earn money from that thru putting ads by Google on you Feedburner feeds. But first, you must have a good topic for your blog. Something that you think is a bit interesting, something that you think people would look up for in the internet. And then you must do the SEO thing too. SEO could be the trickiest part in the whole process.

Then, after you succeed in making your blog exist in the blogosphere or atleast in the category that you intended for your blog. That is the time that you can slap some banner on your blog. But remember to not place ads if your blog is not yet getting traffic or else it would make it harder your blog to rise up. Adsense can be a weight to your blog and drag it down if it doesn't have enough traffic yet.

The amount of money that earn from blogging depends on a lot of different factors, because actually there a lot of things on the internet that you do to make money using your blog. You can put banners, you can do affiliate marketing, or you can make sponsored reviews, but you have to sign up for those sites first and pass all the requirement for you to get some assignments.

Now, getting an assignment from a sponsored review site is also a hard thing to do, because there are some sites that has a lot of requirements just for your blog to pass the screening process. Editors will screen your blogs, and they will look at your blog to see if it passes. Then after that your on your way to earning some serious cash. I am not sure if I have included everything there is to know about blogging in this post. But these is are all I can think of as of the moment. Thanks.
