The answer to the above question lies in a fact the Security is an illusion. We can have optimal security measures but nothing in the world can guarantee you absolute protections. Logging with a user account Operating System limits the user from doing any changes that are of critical nature. This not only prevents the admin and his infrastructure from intentional malicious activities but also prevents from something that the user might commit un-intentionaly. " Users are considered the weakest link in security "  Hence if a user opens a file or a program that has been embedded  with some hidden stuff that attempts to run in background so as to perform data stealing/thieft/damage to critical processes causing DOS. The behavior of operating system of not allowing the regular user to perform any vital change will come to rescue. Hence it is a mitigation measure taken by admins and security professionals to keep their network safe from viruses, worms and malacious progr...

What is sudo ? ' Sudo ' is a keyword used whenever we wish to do perform a task that is of critical nature. Operating System in Linux has this mechanism to execute a program with elevated privileges. It therefore prevents the hassle of change the account each time you need an elevated privilege. Here is why you should not login with your admin/root account. Sudo is the magic word without which life of every Linux guy is incomplete but for hybrid guys(using both Windows and Linux) it is an enormous amount of pain when you are working on cmd and you don't have sudo. Its time to empower yourself, here are the steps- STEP 1: Download Sudowin from here .The program requires .NET version 2.0, which you can’t download individually.

Good news for apple fans !! Apple’s keynote addresses are looked forward by millions of people. Because of Steve Jobs legendary presentation skills, the keynote addresses became even more popular. Tim Cook, the current Apple CEO does not have the same charm but the keynotes have become events when Apple almost always launches a new product or service. I like visiting WhenIsKeynote.com which tracks when the next keynote address by Apple will take place For instance the new keynote address will be at the WWDC 2012.

Steve Jobs keynote addresses became legendary when he presented products like iPods, iPhone and iPad at developer conferences. As...

The devised CD has been made by using nanotechnology . The Researchers from the University of Southampton use a powerful laser to etch "nanostructures" into a thin sheet of glass . Each nanostructure is a cube roughly one micron in size and consists of platelets about 10nm in thickness which are separated by 100-200nm of space, Professor Peter Kazansky and Martynas Beresna told Reg Hardware . When polarised light is passed through the structure, characteristics such as its radial and azimuthal polarisation - essentially, the angles at which the light wave oscillates - change. The data is read by measuring degrees to which the output light differs from the light entering the storage structure. Each characteristic encodes a different data set, so it's possible to store multiple data sets in the same structure. This data can be erased and rewritten with the laser too.

As in the present era maximum communication over long distance formal or informal takes place through emails but unfortunately, not all email addresses are valid!!!! Also we can get a seemingly innocent mail but from invalid addresses. Before replying, we want to know if the address is actually valid or not. Here are 3 online tools to check if an email address is valid. 1. Verify Email address Just type in your address and this online tool checks first if the syntax was correct. Then it looks up the email provider. If the check is valid, it shows a green tick mark next to the email address. This service was simple and intuitive but does not show us the logs. Link: Verify Email Address 2. Verify Email Verify Email is also useful to check if the email address you entered is valid or not. Type in the email address and click on ‘Verify’. If the result is OK, then it means the service was able to verify successfully. This does show a log  of how your email was verified...

The world of browsers has changed over the past few years. If you notice, most new features and updates are about Chrome in the blogging world. Firefox and Internet Explorer do get covered but a lot less. This has been reflected in the growth of Chrome, along with the decline of Internet Explorer. Firefox seems to be stagnating and even declining a bit in the past six months. Last year Internet Explorer was at 51% and has steadily declined to 42% by the end of July 2011. In the same time-frame, Firefox which was at 31% has also declined to somewhere around 27%. Chrome which was at 10% is now sitting at an impressive 22%. This mean Chrome is the only browser which is actually growing. Why is Chrome so successful? Unlike Firefox and IE, which treat their browsers versions as reinvented new software released once a year, Google treats Chrome like ‘work in progress’. Small updates are made periodically every few weeks. Chrome also has continuity for its users because of ...

A recent report on Click Fraud suggests that the maximum number of invalid clicks on Pay Per Click ads originate from India. And this is not the first time - its widely believed there there exists a large "work from home" crowd in India who want to generate "quick cash" by clicking Google AdSense ads. During a recent trip to Google Hyderabad for BarCamp , I met someone who explained me the whole modus operandi of these secret ad clickers. Pick any issue of Deccan Chronicle newspaper (the English Daily of Hyderabad) and open the Classifieds section - you will see dozens of ads that promise you regular Google AdSense income while working from home. (see this newspaper clipping on the right). You basically create a website and then write a few articles to get accepted into the official Google AdSense program. Once you become an AdSense publisher, you join any of these "bogus" AdSense network and are introduced to other members who are in the...

Its founders began developing the technology at Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute in the 1990s and formed PittPatt in 2004 as a spin-off from the university, the website says. "At Google, computer vision technology is already at the core of many existing products (such as Image Search, YouTube, Picasa, and Goggles), so it's a natural fit to join Google and bring the benefits of our research and technology to a wider audience," PittPatt said.
