Google Berakhir Inisiatif QR Code – PCWorld

Maret 31, 2011 Dengan Tinggalkan Komentar

Google has quietly stopped offering QR codes for businesses with Places pages.

Google had been offering a QR code to businesses that when scanned opened that business’ Google Places page. Google creates Places pages for many businesses but the company has encouraged shops to update their pages with additional information. When it launched the QR code program in late 2009, it started sending stickers with the code to the most popular businesses that updated their pages, with the idea that the businesses would place the stickers in their store windows.

Smartphone users “memindai” a QR code by first downloading a QR code application and then taking a photo of the code with their phone, which launches an associated Web page.

Over the past week, some businesses began noticing that their QR code was no longer available in their Places dashboard, where they manage their pages. Google had been letting businesses download the codes to use in their own collateral.

The search giant confirmed that it is no longer offering the codes to Places businesses. “We’re exploring new ways to enable customers to quickly and easily find information about local businesses from their mobile phones. Sementara itu, the QR codes on stickers from our previous Favorite Places campaign still continue to take users to the Place page for that business,” the company said in a statement.

Google could be exploring ways to use near field communications instead of QR codes. It recently added support for NFC to Android. NFC is most commonly discussed as a mobile wallet tool, where users can wave their phones on a sensor to pay for goods. But people can also use NFC devices to download information by waving the device in front of an advertisement on a poster.

Tentang 900 laptops lost at Heathrow each week? | TI PRO

Maret 31, 2011 Dengan Tinggalkan Komentar

Business travellers in the US and Europe lose a staggering 15,648 laptops per week, according to a new study by Dell.

On behalf of the computer organisation, Ponemon Institute surveyed 3,034 business travellers at 113 major airports located in the US, Inggris, Prancis, Jerman, Belanda, Spain and Italy.

Ponemon found that the airports with the highest number of lost, missing or stolen laptops included Los Angeles’ LAX, with an estimated weekly loss of 1,200 and London Heathrow, with an estimated weekly loss of 900.

Of those lost laptops, the survey found that 43 per cent were reclaimed in Europe, dibandingkan dengan hanya 33 per cent in the US.

Ponemon attributed travellers feeling that they were either being rushed, carrying too many things or worrying about flight delays as to reasons why laptops are most commonly lost.

Worryingly, the survey found a high number of travellers who took no steps to protect or secure the information contained on their laptops.

Up to 47 per cent of travellers in France said that the data on their laptops was not backed up, compared to 43 per cent in the UK. Spanish travellers admitted that 71 per cent of them did not take steps to protect the confidential information contained on their laptops, compared to 59 per cent in the UK.

Sementara, 50 per cent of trusting US travellers said that they left their laptop computers under the watchful eye of a fellow passenger, dibandingkan dengan 42 per cent of UK travellers who did the same.

SSD security: the worst of all worlds | ZDNet

Maret 31, 2011 Dengan Tinggalkan Komentar

Data security on SSDs is a mess. Good luck removing data! Preserve it for digital forensics? Uh-oh. Secure erase might work, but it that good enough?

SSD data recovery

SSD security is important because data recovery is so much easier than for hard drives. For less than $1k you can buy the equipment that will read flash chips.

Flash SSD architecture leaves sensitive data at risk. Unlike hard drives, when flash SSDs rewrite a block, they don’t overwrite a fixed block: they grab some empty block and write over that, leaving the original data untouched.

Architectural insecurity

Flash is written to the first free 128k or 256k blocks. Rewriting means making a copy of the block and writing the old data plus the new data to another block.

Flash drive controllers virtualize the flash capacity through the flash translation layer (FTL). The blocks your OS sees are not the blocks that are being written. Selain itu, flash SSDs maintain a large pool of capacity that is not seen by the operating system.

Which leaves your old data on the old block. New writes are written to the first free location, tidak, as on a disk, to a specified physical location.

Garbage collection eventually overwrites the old block to adds it to the free block pool. Cheaper MLC drives avoid aggressive garbage collection because it wears out the drive sooner.

Selain itu, the flash failure mode is that the block cannot be written. As blocks reach their end of life, they may not get rewritten at all – leaving sensitive data there for years.

In the meantime you can have 10’s of gigabytes of data sitting on capacity that your OS can’t see. And like hard disks, “deleting” a file does nothing of the sort.

Hassan, an IT consultant based in Toronto, mengatakan bahwa Samsung dukungan teknis mengatakan kepadanya: “Kami hanya menaruhnya di sana untuk mengetahui bagaimana komputer sedang digunakan.”

Juru bicara Samsung mengatakan bahwa Jason Redmond perusahaannya adalah melihat ke tuduhan Hassan. “Kami mengambil klaim-klaim yang sangat, sangat serius,” he said. Dia sebelumnya tidak mendengar masalah, atau mendengar de perusahaan Consultingthe Willebois yang membuat perangkat lunak StarLogger bahwa Hassan mengatakan, dia menemukan pada laptop, the company that makes the StarLogger software that Hassan said he found on the laptop. “Kami tidak memiliki pemahaman tentang hubungan dengan perusahaan ini dan kita tidak memiliki pengetahuan sebelumnya dari software ini berada di laptop kita,” he said.

Britain Backpedals on Bribery Act – Blog Hukum – WSJ

Maret 31, 2011 Dengan Tinggalkan Komentar

Pengacara, company executives, and politicians have been waiting feverishly for guidance on how to apply the U.K’s new Bribery Act, the supercharged corruption law dubbed the FCPA on steroids.

Yah, the wait is over. The British government today offered guidelines here that some believe indicate that the U.K. has caved into pressure to soften its bribery law, which is due to take effect July 1, laporan WSJ.

Misalnya, the guidance says that gifts and hospitality, which were thought to be verboten under the Bribery Act, will not be prosecuted so long as they are “reasonable and proportionate,” WSJ reports.

Juga, the guidelines appear to reduce the geographical scope of the law by saying that companies with subsidiaries or listings in the U.K. may not be impacted.

IE9, yang diluncurkan Maret 14, dikalahkan saingan dari Apple, Google, Mozilla dan Opera ketika Microsoft berlari lima browser yang terbesar melalui enam skenario konsumsi daya, perusahaan mengatakan.

Dalam sebuah posting blog panjang tebal dengan grafik, trio manajer Microsoft membeberkan hasil tes, yang menunjukkan bahwa pada Windows 7 laptop dengan 56 Watt / jam baterai, IE9 dapat digunakan selama tiga jam dan 45 menit sebelum melelahkan catu daya. (The “56 Watt / jam” Penunjukan berarti bahwa baterai dapat memberikan 56 Watt daya selama satu jam sebelum itu dikeringkan.)

Pesaing terdekat adalah Mozilla Firefox 4, yang datang di 3 jam dan 35 menit, hanya 10 menit pemalu dari IE9.
