Google+ vs Facebook
Google Chief Executive Officer Larry Page seems to be flinging his handbag at Facebook. During the recent interview, he was asked why the search giant was bothering trying to compete with the largest social network in the world. Larry Page explained that while Facebook remained strong in that space, the company was still doing a bad job on its products.
Google CEO didn’t say exactly why Facebook was doing a bad job or which particular products he thought suffered. Previously, Larry Page has slammed the social networking giant for being closed with its information. His comments might have been motivated by the recent launch of a smarter search engine named Graph Search by Facebook. As such, the latter is stepping directly on Google’s turf.
However, Google CEO explained that his company doesn’t want Facebook to fail as a business in order for it to succeed in that particular area. Page pointed out that Google was doing something different in the networking field, so it wasn’t right to say that there was only space for one firm.
Google CEO claimed he was very happy with his own social network so far and admitted that it had already been copied by its competitors. Larry Page was also talking about the need to keeping their ambitious with “moon shot” ideas and teased the possibility that Google could eventually employ million people. Finally, he scoffed at the patron saint of Apple, Steve Jobs, for trying to wage a so-called thermonuclear war against Android. At the very least, many can agree that Jobs’ nuclear weapons didn’t turn to be working very well.
Microsoft’s Surface Pro Tablet Coming on Feb 9th for $899
Microsoft’s much awaited Surface Pro tablet is finally being released and that too with a price tag which may prove a bit too much for most people, $899. The tablet will be released on February 9.
The Specifications:
Microsoft and its specs promise that this tablet is almost a full-fledged Windows 8 PC especially when you add a touch or type cover to make up for the lack of keyboard.
The tablet features a 10.6 inch ClearType Full HD, 10-point touchscreen with 16:9 aspect ratio. The processor is an Intel Core i5 unit. The RAM amounts upto 4GB and the internal memory is 64 GB for the starting model and 128 GB for the more-expensive one along with Intel HD 4000 Graphics.
There are also 2 HD 1.2mp cameras on the front and back for this tablet. The Surface Pro is powered by a 42 W-h battery and runs Microsoft’s Windows 8 Pro operating system.
All this package comes in a special magnesium casing dubbed by the guys at Redmond as VaporMag. The body is 13mm thick and weighs 2 pounds.
Stylus input is supported here unlike the Surface RT and it actually comes along with the Surface Pro as a bundled accessory. Dual-antennae Wifi, USB 3.0 and MicroSDXC card slot are here too. Just like the Surface RT, the Surface Pro also has a kickstand built into the tablet.
Competition
Compared to the competition (and Surface RT), this tablet is more than just a tablet. Unlike the Surface RT, this thing can run Windows legacy software and thanks to a beefy hardware, can do graphic intense work.
One thing that the Surface Pro is the disk drive which some ultrabooks of the same category and price offer. Surface Pro faces an even stiffer competition from them. And unlike them all, you’ll have to buy a separate type or touch cover keyboard for this tablet. The base model costs $899 while the 128GB flavour costs $999. The price will go even up considering the fact that the touch and type cover retails for more than $100.
This is expensive especially when you take into notice the bitter truth that some ultrabooks of the same price range come with Intel Core i7 processor and bigger displays.
So if you DO plan on buying a Surface Pro tablet, you’ll surely have to make some compromises.
Here are few pics of Microsoft Surface Pro
How do I restore my Acer Laptop using the eRecovery Management program?
In the eRecovery Management program you have the option
to restore your computer. Clicking restore will present you with 3 options.
The first option is Completely Restore System to Factory
Defaults, which will completely erase your computer and reinstall Windows
returning it to the same state it was when you turned your computer on for the
first time.
The second option is Restore Operating System and Retain
User Data, which is essentially the same process but the information stored in
your user account folder will be saved. Acer still recommends backing up all
other data if you choose to use this option.
The third option, Reinstall Drivers or Applications, is
discussed in further detail below.
Note: Keep in mind that Windows recovery or an anti-virus
program may solve an issue your having without having to completely reinstall
windows.
To start your system restore follow the below steps:
Click on the Start menu and click All Programs.
In the program list click the Acer folder, then click the
Acer eRecovery Management icon.
Windows User Account Control may ask for your permission
to run this program, click Yes.
From the Acer eRecovery Management window on the left
click Restore, then click Completely Restore System to Factory Defaults.
On the Confirmation screen, select Yes and click Start
Finally click OK to confirm restoration and then your
computer will restart.
After the computer restarts click Next if you agree to
the notice on your screen.
Note: The notice is informing you that all your data will
be erased. If you have not backed up your data click Cancel now.
Next you get a final confirmation screen. Click Next,
then click OK to start the recovery process.
The recovery may take a while to finish. You will get a
confirmation screen when it is finished.
Click OK to restart your computer.
When Windows restarts it will take a few minutes to
complete the restore process and once finished it will restart your computer
again. Windows will now begin a first time setup just as it did when you turned
your computer on for the first time.
Once you fully load back into Windows it will complete
the final steps of the recovery. A progress bar will let you know what step of
the process it is on.
The third option is Reinstall Drivers or Applications.
This will allow you to reinstall any application or driver that you may be
having problems with that came installed on your computer without reinstalling
Windows completely.

File-Sharing & Streaming On the Rise
Recent research released by one of the network security companies confirmed that P2P file-sharing and online streaming are on the rise, compared to statistics from previous years.
The regular report from the network security company offered a thorough view on global data usage, based on evaluating traffic from over 2,000 companies throughout the globe, and covering a period from November 2011 to May 2012.
Taking into account that the lines between professional and private life still blur, the results of the report show that many employees prefer using personal technologies such as Netflix and Tumblr at work. That’s why the key to out new digital reality is not to ignore the existence of these programs or ban them, but to manage their usage by policies which provide modern workforce with the needed flexibility without impeding on the business.
The businesses find out that they are able to successfully employ network security controls which enable Internet application usage for the workers while meeting quality-of-service standards for business-critical programs and managing security threats.
The report found out 3 important things:
1. Streaming video bandwidth consumption has increased by over 300%: if you compare the statistics with the last report, you understand that the total bandwidth consumed by streaming video has more than tripled, reaching 13%. Moreover, 34 streaming programs were employed on 97% of the covered organizations’ networks. Such increase was thanks to services like YouTube and Netflix in America and PPStream in Asia and Pacific.
2. P2P file-sharing is currently gaining popularity with the consumption spiking with 700%. 7 P2P clients and 13 browser-based file-sharing applications were found on 90% of networks throughout the globe.
3. Social networking remains a strong player gathering many file-sharing enthusiasts. For instance, Tumblr and Pinterest became very popular in the past 6 months. Meanwhile, at least one social networking client was found on 97% of the covered companies, with an average of 29 different social networking applications found on each company.
Another interesting finding: almost 1/3 of every dollar spent on bandwidth supports streaming media or file-sharing, with these two categories encompassing about 250 apps, most of which are dedicated to personal use.

Declaration of Internet Freedom
A few days ago, online leaders, including the EFF, Public Knowledge, Free Press, and the Mozilla Foundation, have issued a document titled “Declaration of Internet Freedom”.
The declaration stands for a free and open web and calls not to censor the Internet. Although the document doesn’t propose any specific policy, it hopes to put a line in the sand about what things should look like. Meanwhile, its principles were designed to be accepted by the political arena.
The document was mainly sustained by liberal groups like the Free Press, but the declaration was also supported by a couple political figures, who encouraged Republicans to vote against SOPA and similar bills.
In the meantime, not everyone is happy with this move – for instance, a coalition of right-of-center outfits delivered their own version with various sets of principles, which included “humility” and “the rule of law” – the list includes TechFreedom, the Competitive Enterprise Institute, and the National Taxpayers Union. They argued that the original document contained an “ambiguity which could pave the way for more government intervention”.
However, if you take a closer look on both versions of the document, you would notice that they both highlight the importance of free expression, privacy and innovation. The question is how to apply those ideas. In fact, the real issue is the ambiguity of the documents, a feature which may prove fatal to the outfits’ plans. In addition, the Congress doesn’t seem to be going to vote against free speech or creativity, but it is less likely to support vague principles.
So, to make a change the initiators must have a good plan focused on the political sector. You can recall Demand Progress’ campaign, which emphasized that the MegaUpload case had set a precedent, and pointed out that now such portals like Gmail and Flickr might be in danger as well.
Demand Progress also filed an amicus brief (with more than 50,000 signatures) with a Virginia judge who managed the MegaUpload case. The matter is that solving the cyberlocker’s problem (and other troubles that may appear soon) would demand the legislation be modified, especially the 2008’s PRO-IP Act, because it enables federal government to seize domains, servers, and everything else they may need in a copyright violation case.
