The first time I saw the Nokia N90 mobile phone, I was immediately taken by its appearance. This is indeed the phone I want to get for Christmas. After browsing through its many features, I knew this phone is my perfect match indeed.

With a 2 megapixel camera, I can now take pictures like a pro. I can even edit my pictures to incorporate my preferences, as well as print them via Pictbridge Direct Printing easily! Plus, it comes with a digital player that support RealVideo and RealAudio, as well as MPEG-4, MP3, WAV, AAC, AMR, 3gp, and many more media formats. With the many messaging services offered, I can communicate with my colleagues easily! This indeed makes the perfect mobile partner for me!

All you wanted to know about blade servers

Saturday, December 15th, 2007

We see these commercials all the time for blade servers, and I get the question all the time: What are blade servers? This is a quick run down on this very interesting technology:

Blade server basics:

Definition: blade servers are part of a computer configuration where power, cooling, storage and connectivity are largely provided by an outer housing or chassis. The chassis contains and services a number of specialised, stripped down motherboard units - the blade servers - each one a complete computer or service device containing only vital processing and storage elements.

Blade server technology was initially developed in the early millennium through a partnership between IBM and Intel. Later, a number of major companies, led by IBM, formed an “industry community” in February 2006, with a website base at blade.org. The mission of the community is to “accelerate the growth and adoption of [blade] technologies in the market.”

Sony PlayStation 3 60GB

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

The Sony PlayStation 3 60GB has indeed built a reputation of its own as being the most expensive next-generation game console out in the market. But with the value I am receiving from my money, I am even more convinced that the PS3 is just about the best product I’ve ever invested in.

The PS3 comes with a Blu-ray disc drive, which lets me play high-definition Blu-ray movies, and not just the regular DVDs. Plus, with its 60GB hard drive, I can save virtually anything I want onto the system! And with Bluetooth support, I can then play whatever games with wireless controls easily! To top it all off, I can play online games for free as well! This is indeed the sweetest game console I have ever encountered!

The Bluetooth Security Hole

Friday, December 7th, 2007

Bluetooth is the most popular wireless file sharing technology today. It is widely adapted by cellular phones, music players, and other portable gadgets. But just recently, Symantec is asking Bluetooth users to be more aware of the commonplace the technology is fast becoming to be, as there is simply a number of security vulnerability associated to it.

 

Security issues such as bluejacking, bluebugging, and bluesnarfing are getting common. Most of the security breaches perpetrated using the Bluetooth technology lead to problems such as denial of service and mobile viruses, Trojans, and worms hosting. Another annoying problem Bluetooth users experience is called bluespamming. This one works very similar to email spamming.
