Windows is very dangerous without adequate firewall. To harden the system, you have to install a firewall. IS there exist a free and open source firewall software? Yes it’s.

A nice info about securing your computer:

1. Use antivirus software and keep it updated daily- UCI has several software purchase programs for discounted pricing
2. Apply software updates regularly and consistently
3. Use a desktop firewall whenever possible- check with your local desktop support team first
4. Use strong passwords with a minimum of 6 characters- uppercase, lowercase letters, symbols and numbers
5. Change all of your passwords regularly
6. Make routine backups of your critical files
7. Do not open emails that you don’t recognize the author or that look suspicious to you- you can call your local support team for more information

Yesterday, Google Inc. released the real-time location tool Google Latitude and opened up a new world of location-based services (LBS) for both PC and mobile phone users.

Latitude enables you to track friends, family, employees and so on — and vice-versa — in real time.

Can I use Google Latitude? According to Google, if you have any mobile device that supports Google Maps for Mobile v3.0 and above, you’re probably good to go. These include Android-powered devices with Maps v3.0 and above; most color BlackBerry devices; most Windows Mobile 5.0 and above devices; and most Symbian S60 devices.

In the near future, you’ll also be able to use Latitude on iPhone and iPod Touch with the Google Mobile App in the U.S., and on many Sony Ericsson devices.

Woot, google is very great. The technology leaps is very fast.

It was an amazing and funny reasearch i get from the Telegraph. It was a research that says that divorces make people of even identical twin look older than they’re supposed to be.

The research’s result contradicted the commonly-held belief that a person’s ability to hold back the years is largely genetically pre-determined. It also proves that environmental factors eg: marriage breakdowns, prescription drug use and stress as key age accelerants could also play a role for people’s condition.

This research was published by Case Western Reserve University in the medical journal of the American Society Of Plastic Surgeons. It also said that that divorced twins looked almost two years older than siblings who were single, married or widowed.

The resarch also says that the use of antidepressant medication resulted in a “significantly older” appearance. The drugs may relax facial muscles to such an extent that they start to “sag”, the report claims.

To know the detail, just click this. As you know, this article is located on women’s health section of telegraph. but i bet this result is similar to men too.
