Stock Market – Film – Wall Street

No Comments 13 July 2010

Wall Street – The Movie : A great stock market film. Oliver Stone makes this amazing film with one excellent crew, Charlie Sheen, Michael Douglas, Martin Sheen. Wall Street – film still stands as one of the most popular movies of the 1980’s, with its focus on “Greed Is Good” and the fine performances from Charlie Sheen and Michael Douglas. Sheen stars as Bud Fox, a young stockbroker who has dreams of being bigger and wealthier than he already is. He’s given a bridge to his dream when he makes his way into Gordon Gekko(Douglas)’s offices, as Gekko is one of the most powerful businessmen around. Everyone always thinks there’s a top – a satisfaction point, but for Gekko, there is no top floor – the elevator just keeps going. The problem with Bud is that, in his own way, he doesn’t know when to quit, either. He does things for Gekko that are particularly legal, and although at first he seems nervous about the details, soon enough he begins to accept it all as “part of the business”. Douglas has played this role to great acclaim, but this is certainly where it all started, and where he’s ended up in recent pictures like “The Game”, where he played another version of this character. Stuart Copeland’s score provides intensity and energy, moving the film forward. Stone certainly gives the film an energy as the pacing never seems slow nor does the film seem to drag. Although the film’s themes don’t seem to be as present today, they still exist out there in the business world. Director : Oliver Stone Producer : Edward R.

Better Search Engine Rankings with RSS

Better Search Engine Rankings with RSS

No Comments 22 March 2010

RSS is the latest craze in online publishing. But what exactly is RSS?

RSS or Rich Site Syndication is a file format similar to XML, and is used by publishers to make their content available to others in a format that can be universally understood.

RSS allows publishers to “syndicate” their content through the distribution of lists of hyperlinks.

It has actually been around for a while, but with the advent of spam filters and online blogging, it is fast becoming the choice of ezine publishers who want to get their message across to their subscribers.

However, not much attention has been given to the advantages RSS provides for search engine optimization.

Why Search Engines Love RSS

Many SEO experts believe that sites optimized around themes,or niches, where all pages correspond to a particular subject or set of keywords, rank better in the search engines.

For example, if your website is designed to sell tennis rackets, your entire site content would be focused around tennis and tennis rackets.

Search engines like Google seem to prefer tightly-themed pages.

But where does RSS figure in all this?

RSS feeds, usually sourced from newsfeeds or blogs, often correspond to a particular theme or niche.

By using highly targeted RSS feeds, you can enhance your site’s content without having to write a single line on your own.

It’s like having your own content writer – writing theme-based articles for you – for free!

How can RSS improve my Search Engine Rankings?

There are three powerful reasons why content from RSS Feeds is irresistible bait for search engine spiders.

1. RSS Feeds Provide Instant Themed Content

There are several publishers of RSS feeds that are specific to a particular theme.

Since the feed is highly targeted, it could contain several keywords that you want to rank highly for.

Adding these keywords to your pages helps Google tag your site as one with relevant content.

2. RSS Feeds Provide Fresh, Updated Content

RSS feeds from large publishers are updated at specific intervals. When the publisher adds a new article to the feed, the oldest article is dropped.

These changes are immediately effected on your pages with the RSS feed as well. So you have fresh relevant content for your visitors every hour or day.

3. RSS Feeds Result in More Frequent Spidering

One thing I never anticipated would happen as a result of adding an RSS feed to my site was that the Googlebot visited my site almost daily.

To the Googlebot, my page that had the RSS feed incorporated into it was as good as a page that was being updated daily, and in its judgement, was a page that was worth visiting daily.

What this means to you, is that you will have your site being indexed more frequently by the Googlebot and so any new pages that you add to your site will be picked up much faster than your competitors.

How does this benefit you as a marketer?

Well, for example, let’s says a top Internet Marketer comes out with a new product that you review and write up a little article on, and that your competitors do the same.

Google generally tends to index pages at the start of the month and if you miss that update, you will probably need to wait till the next month to even see your entry in.

But, since your site has RSS feeds, it now gets indexed more frequently. So the chances of getting your page indexed quickly are much higher.

This gives you an advantage over the competition, as your review will show up sooner in the search results than theirs.

Imagine what an entire month’s advantage could do to your affiliate sales!

Why Javascript Feeds Are Not Effective

Some sites offer javascript code that generates content sourced from RSS feeds for your site.

These are of absolutely no value in terms of search engine rankings, as the googlebot cannot read javascript and the content is not interpreted as part of your page.

What you need is code that parses the RSS feed and renders the feed as html content that’s part of your page.

This is achieved using server side scripting languages like PHP or ASP

So in conclusion, besides optimizing on page and off page factors, adding RSS feeds to your pages should be an important part of your strategy to boost your search engine rankings.

WIRELESS SECURITY

1 Comment 23 February 2010

WIRELESS SECURITY- It is surprising easy to design a system that is logically completely secure by using VPNs and firewalls, but that, in practice, leaks like a sieve. This situation can occur if some of the machines are wireless and use radio-communication, which passes right over the firewall in both directions. The range of 802.11 network is often a few hundred meters , so any one who wants to spy on a company can simply drive into the employee parking lot in the morning , leave an 802.11-enabled notebook computer in the car to record every thing it hears, and takeoff for the day. By late afternoon, the hard disk will be full of valuable goodies. Theoretically this leakage is not supposed to happen and people are not supposed to rob banks, either.

Much of the security problem can be traced to the manufactures of wireless base stations (access point) trying to make their products user friendly. Usually, if the user takes the device out of the box and plugs it into the electrical power socket, it begins operating immediately-nearly always with no security at all, blurting secrets to everyone within radio range. If it is then plugged into an Ethernet, all the Ethernet traffic suddenly appears in the parking lot as well wireless is a snooper’s dream come true: free data without having to do any work. It there fore goes without saying that security is even more important for wireless systems than wired ones.

DIGITAL SIGNATURE

DIGITAL SIGNATURE

No Comments 18 February 2010

DIGITAL SIGNATURE- The authenticity of many legal, financial, and other documents is determined by the presence or absence of an authorized handwritten signature. For computerized message system to replace the physical transport of paper and ink document, a method must be found to allow document to be signed in an unforgivable way.

The problem of devising a replacement for handwritten signature is a difficult one. Basically what is needed is a system by which one party can send a signed message to another party in such a way that the following conditions hold-

1-     The receiver can verify the claimed identity of the sender.

2-     The sender cannot later repudiate the contents of the message.

3-     The receiver can not possibly have concocted the message himself.

The first requirement is needed, for example in financial system. When a customer’s computer orders a bank’s computer to buy a ton of gold, the bank’s computer needs to be able to make sure that the computer giving the order really belongs to the company whose account is to be debited. In other words, the bank has to authenticate the customer (and the customer has to authenticate the bank)

The second requirement is needed to protect the bank against fraud. Suppose that the bank buys the ton of gold, and immediately thereafter the price of gold drops sharply. A dishonest customer might sue the bank, claiming that he never issued any order to buy gold. When the bank produces the message in court, the customer denies having sent it. The property that no party to a contact can later deny having signed it is called no repudiation.

The third requirement is needed to protect the customer in the event that the price of gold shoots up and the bank tries to construct a signed message in which the customer asked for one bar of gold instead of one ton. In this fraud scenario, bank just keeps the rest of gold for itself.

E-MAIL SECURITY-HOW TO SECURE E-MAIL

No Comments 31 January 2010

E-MAIL SECURITY- When an e-mail message is sent between two distant sites, it will generally transit dozens of machines on the way. Any of these can read and record the message for future use. In practice, privacy is nonexistent, despite what many people think. Nevertheless, many people would like to be able to send e-mail that can read by the intended recipient and no one else. This desire has stimulated several people and groups to apply the cryptographic principles. There are widely used secure e-mail systems, PGP.

PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) – PGP is a complete e-mail security package that provides privacy, authentication, digital signature and compression. Furthermore, the complete package, including all the sources code, is distributed free of charge via the internet. Due to its quality, price (zero), and easy availability on UNIX, Linux, Windows, and Mac Os platforms, it is widely used to day.

PGP encrypts data by using a block cipher called IDEA (International Data Encryption Algorithm), which uses 128-bitkeys. PGP supports text comparison, secrecy and digital signature and also provides extensive key management facilities, but oddly enough, not e-mail facilities. It is more of a preprocessor that takes plain text as input and produced signed cipher text in base64 as output. This output can then be e-mailed, of course. Some PGP implements call a user agent as the final step to actually send the message.

PGP supports four RSA key lengths. It is up to the user to select the one that is most appropriate. The length are-

1-Casual (384 bits): Can be broken easily today.

2-Commercial (512 bits): Breakable by three-letter organization.

3-Military (1024 bits): Not breakable by any one on earth.

4-Alicn (2048 bits): Not breakable by any one on other planet, either.

Since RSA is only used for two small computations, everyone should use Alien strength keys all the time.

Add or change album art in Windows Media Player

1 Comment 28 January 2010

Add or change album art in Windows Media Player

Windows Media Player can display the album cover artwork associated with the songs in your library.

Where does album art come from?

The Player downloads album art from an online database where the information is supplied  by a variety of non-Microsoft data providers, such as AMG.

The Player downloads album art when you rip a CD. To do so, the Player attempts to match the CD to an entry in the online database. If it finds a match, the Player automatically downloads the media information that is available for the CD, including album art. In addition, the Player periodically scans your library for songs that are missing album art. If it can match a song that is missing album art to an entry in the online database, the Player will download the missing album art.

Why album is art missing sometimes?

The Player might not be able to download album art from the database in the following situations:

  • You aren’t connected to the Internet when ripping a CD.
  • You are connected to the Internet, but the online database is missing album art (or there is no media information at all) for the CD you are ripping.
  • Your system administrator has prevented your computer from downloading items such as album art from the Internet.
  • You ripped the CD using a program other than Windows Media Player; doing so might prevent the Player from finding a match in the online database.

Finally, if the online database contains incorrect album art for a CD, the Player will download that album art.

The following procedures describe methods you can use to fix missing or incorrect album art.

You can try to match an album in your library with an entry in the online database. If you find a match, the Player will download whatever album art is in the database to your computer.

Note that when the Player downloads album art, it also downloads all other media information associated with that album (such as the album name, song titles, and so on). If you have manually edited the media information for that album in your library, the following procedure will overwrite your changes.

1.Connect to the Internet.

2.Click the Library tab, and then browse to the album that you want to fix.

3.Right-click the album, and then click Find Album Info.

4.If you get an error message that says that you must change your privacy settings before you can update media information, do the following: Click the Tools menu, click Options, click the Privacy tab, and then select the Update music files by retrieving media info from the Internet check box. Then, in the library, repeat the previous step.

If the Tools menu is not visible, show the Classic Menus.

5.Do one of the following:

  • oIf the correct album or artist information appears in the search results, select the correct entry, and then follow the instructions on the page to update the album art and media information automatically. If the correct album information does not appear in the search results, follow the instructions on the page to search again using different search criteria.
  • oIf the correct album information appears with a generic music icon displayed as the album art, then album art is not available for download. See the procedure about how to add album art manually in this topic.

If some of your albums are missing album art, you can manually add a picture of your choice. When you do so, the picture is embedded into the file, and the Player will always show the embedded file as the album art (as opposed to any album art that the Player may have downloaded from the online database).

1.Click the Library tab, and then browse to the album that is missing art.

2.Find a picture that you want to use for album art (the picture can be on your computer or on a webpage), right-click the picture, and then click Copy.

The original picture can be in any of the following formats: BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, or TIFF.

3.In your library, right-click the album art box, and then click Paste Album Art.

A copy of the picture is embedded into each of the songs from that album. The copy of the picture is automatically scaled to the appropriate size and converted to the JPEG format before it is embedded in the file. The original picture file is not modified.

Note

  • oIf you cannot add album art manually, verify that you have permission to modify the file. For example, right-click the file, and then click Open File Location. In the folder, right-click the file, click Properties, and then clear the Read-only check box if it is selected.

Where can you view album art?

Album art can appear in a variety of places inside and outside the Player, including:

  • In the library
  • In the List pane on the right side of the Player
  • In the status area at the bottom of the Player (near the playback controls)
  • In certain visualizations
  • In the Windows folder where you store your music files (for example, the Music folder)
  • In the Info Center View (to see this view, click the Now Playing tab, right-click the area where videos and visualizations appear, and then click Info Center View)
  • In the Find Album Information dialog box (the dialog box that appears when you click the Find Album Info command)

Note that the album art that appears in the Find Album Information dialog box is provided by data providers, such as AMG. The album art that appears in the Info Center View is provided by the online store that you currently have selected.

WEB SECURITY

4 Comments 27 January 2010

WEB SECURITY-Web security can be divided into three parts. First how are objects and resources named securely? Second, how can secure, authenticated connections be established? Third, what happens when a web site sends a piece of equitable code? For this we discuss some threats-

THREATS-First, the home page of numerous organizations has been attacked and replace by a new home page of crackers choosing. We prefer to call these people Crackers’. In most cases, the crackers just put up some funny text and the sites were repaired with in a few hours.

Numerous sites have been brought down by denial of service attacks in which the cracker floods the site with traffic, rendering it unable to respond to legitimate queries. Often the attack is mounted from a large number of machines that the cracker has already broken into (DDoS attacks).

SECURE NAMING- Let us start with basic- (take a example).

Alice wants to visit Bob’s web site. You type bob’s URL into your browser after few seconds, a web page appears. But is it Bob’s? May be yes or may be no. Trudy might be up to her old tricks again. For example, she might be intercepting all of Alice’s outgoing packets and examining them. when she captures on HTTP get request headed to Bob’s web site, she could go to Bob’s web site herself to get the page, modify it as wishes, and return the fake page to Alice. Alice would none the wisher. worse yet, Trudy could slash the price at Bob’s e-store to make his good look very attractive, there by tricking Alice into sending her credit card number to Bob to buy some merchandise.

One disadvantage to this classic man-in-middle attack is that Trudy has to be in a position to intercept Alice’s outgoing traffic and forge her incoming traffic. In practice, she has to tap either Alice’s phone line or Bob’s, since tapping the fiber backbone is fairly difficult. While active wire-tapping is certainly possible, it is a certain amount of work, and while Trudy is clever, she is also lazy. Besides, there are easier ways to trick Alice.

DNS SPOOFING- Tricking a DNS server into installing a false IP address is called DNS spoofing. For example, suppose Trudy is able to crack the DNS system, may be just the DNS cache at Alice’s ISP, and replace Bob’s IP address with her (Trudy’s) IP address. When Alice looks up Bob’s IP address, she gets Trudy’s, so all her traffic intended for Bob goes to Trudy. Trudy can now mount a man-in-the-middle attack without having to go to the trouble of tapping any phone lines. Instead she has to break into a DNS server and change one record, a much easier proposition.

How might Trudy fool DNS? It turns out to be relatively easy. Trudy can trick the DNS server at Alice’s ISP into sending out a query to look up Bob’s address .Unfortunately since DNS uses UDP; the DNS server has no real way of checking who supplied the answer. Trudy can exploit this property by forging the expected reply and thus injecting a false IP address into the DNS server’s cache.

Trudy starts the attack by sending a lookup request to Alice’s ISP asking for the IP address of Bob’s. Since there is one entry for this DNS name, the cache server queries the top level server for the com domain to get one. However Trudy beats the com server to the punch and sends back a false reply. If her false reply gets back to Alice’s ISP first, that one will be cached and the real reply will be rejected as an unsolicited reply to a query no longer outstanding. A cache that holds an intentionally false IP address like this is called a poisoned cache.

HTML -The Hyper text markup language

HTML -The Hyper text markup language

1 Comment 25 January 2010

HTML -The Hyper text markup language; Web pages are currently written in a language called HTML.HTML allow users to produce web pages that includes text, graphics, and pointers to other web pages. HTML is a markup language a language for describing how document are to be formatted. The advantage of a markup language over one with no explicit markup is that writing a browser for it is straight forward .Tex and troff are other well known example of markup languages.

By embedding all the markup commands with in each HTML file and stand zing them, it become possible for any browser to read or reformat any web pages. Being able to reformat web pages after receiving them in crucial because a page may have been produced in a 1600*1200 window with 24 bit color but may have to be displayed in a 640*320 window configured for 8 bit color.

While it is certainly possible to write HTML document with any standard editor, it is also to use special HTML editors or word processors that do most of the work (but correspondingly give the user less control over all the details of the final result).

FORMS OF HTML- HTML 1.0 was basically one way .users could call up pages from information’s providers, but it was difficult to send information back the other way. As more and more commercial organization began using the web, there was a large demand of two-way traffic.

The demand led to the inclusion of forms starting in HTML 2.0. forms contains boxes and buttons that allow users to fill in information or make choices and then send the information back to the pages owner. It has a variety of parameters for determining the size, nature and uses of the box displayed. The most common forms are blank field for accepting user text, boxes that can be checked, active maps and submit buttons.
