Third world country's don't have much money but when they need a cheap and robust computer they look towards the 1 laptop per child group. Yep you guessed it, its only $100 and even better it hasn't got a 'plug into the wall' charger you just plug in your crank charger and after charging for thirty minutes you get one hour of computer time. They managed to make it very cheap because it uses Linux and as you know, Windows is quite expensive so they had to use a free operating system. Then it has a flash memory card which will make it fast energy efficient and very cheap, and thats just the tip of the iceberg, it also uses Mobile ad-hoc networking for a reliable internet source. Sadly i am led to believe that the OLPC ( One Laptop Per Child) isn't in the market yet but only distributed in third world countries so if you were hoping to get one, well you'll just have to wait a bit longer

Google have taken over most of the nets advertisement, then they are the biggest search engine and now they are your new doctor. What a surprise, no? well not exactly, Google Health isn't your local GP but more of a Find a doctor, keep your records and exploring online health services. But i suppose that it is along the lines of what Google would have wanted to do, they own Google docs and that keeps your spread sheets and then they have Gmail, Googles approach to an online email provider and when you delete emails it stays in their servers for around one month and then its truly deleted and now they can see your medical records. Now the thing that freaks me out is the fact that the FBI actually payed Google to look through all of the search results. So if they can see that I'm talking to 'Jane' and that I'm having back problems and they can also look at my spread sheet and see that I'm a millionaire then I'm not interested. Its a simple and good idea but Google is slowly taking away out personalities whilst we are convinced that they are giving a free simple and handy service. So i will leave it at that and say that I'm not interested in Google Health and that i don't want them to know everything that i have in my life.

Have you ever forgotten your password to log into windows, and had to go into the hassle to find out how to change it again? Well hopefully this technique which involves an iPod will make your music player do the remembering. This won't affect your iPod and no programs required, its all in windows. Just simply plug your iPod into your computer and then go to control panel > User Accounts > Select your account > Related Tasks > “Prevent a forgotten password”. Now once this is done all you need to do is find your iPod i.e.: L's iPod then enter your password and select finish and now each time you forget your password all you need to do is plug in your iPod and then select "did you forget your password?" and your password will be entered. so there you go, no need to remember your password when you have your personal music player at hand :)

Apple have recently spread out a virus called RavMonE.exe on under 1% of Ipods, though they say that the virus isn't very harmful and is rated a low class virus it has still affected under 1% of iPods though that excludes the iPod nano, iPod shuffle and Mac OS X. This virus is a back doorTrojan which routes a tunnel past your security letting the programmer of the virus enter your computer very easily. This program is a windows virus so all you MAC users out there, your safe at the moment and only 25 people have receive this virus so the chances of millions of users from getting this are very little. All up to date anti viruses should easily remove this virus and the windows security should also easily be able to pick up this piece of malware with out much difficulty.

eyeOS is a simple fun online operating system which is completely free and easy to use, When signing up you simply enter a desired login name, password and select a language and your all done. It takes literally five seconds to join up to and it takes 5 seconds to understand how to use it. You get another version of Google Docs which is incorporated into your online OS and it has many simple features such as an FTP uploader/downloader, eyeEmail, Calculator, word (not so much word but nevertheless its the same principle), games and many other features. Its very handy for travelers and as you guessed, you can use it all over the world assuming you have an internet connexion. While you can check it on a computer i also am lead to believe that you can also use your mobile to interact with your operating system. I actually believe that this is one free useful and easy tool that every one should use. Where have they gone wrong. Okay its not exactly Windows Vista style but its not a pile of rubbish which is covered up by a card board box. Its sleek, Simple, it doesn't crash too easily (though you just close your web browser and your problems are finished).

In general i would give this operating system an 8 out of 10!

A few months ago Estonia was under attack, not the normal shoot as many rounds as you can hoping that one of your bullets will kill some one. No in fact it was a cyber war, Russia was annoyed that Estonia remove the bronze statue of a Red Army soldier in the center of Tallinn. So you can guess what they did next, Its quite clever really but highly risked. They had two options, one of them was use their computers or the second one was send out zombies to computers (like Trojans) and they all connect to the same server/website/country's system and there is so much information, as you've guessed it just simply crashes and dies. The only problem with them both is that in order to do so you need to send out the virus first, that leaves a signal of your IP, but they would have been clever and spoofed it, Now once it is downloaded your zombiefied computer needs to receive instructions, so the creator of the virus sends out the target and they start attacking the website by using up lots of data, in fact too much that it even crashes it. But to send out the command you will need to send out a signal which also contains your IP which has been spoofed. So in the end all of CIA and the MI6 tech boffs will have to find the IP that went to spoof the IP and it can go on for years. Crashing a developing country's internet especially when it needs it will bring the country to a stand still so Germany, Slovakia, Latvia, Lithuania, Italy and Spain will help and fund the hub in the Estonian capital Tallinn to protect the security. A Nato spokesman, James Appathurai said after a signing ceremony in Brussels "We have seen in Estonia that a cyber attack can swiftly become an issue of national security," and also said "Cyber attacks can cripple societies". After all these disputes it's quite simple that every one will be ready for the next cyber attack, but this time they won't be surprised. They will be waiting.
