Samsung ES15 digital camera

The newly launched Samsung ES15 is a best deal for digital cameras in the market. It has look, features and the best price in the market. It offers decent imaging performance and some interesting inbuilt features.

With a maximum resolution of 10.2 megapixels and a 3x optical zoom lens, the Samsung ES15 has identical specifications to its slightly slicker brother, the Samsung ES55. In fact, the only thing that separates these cameras is a different design and battery type: this Samsung ES15 digital camera is bulkier and uses disposable AA batteries, while the ES55 is comparatively tiny and comes with a rechargeable Li-Ion battery. Otherwise, both models sport the same feature set and offer an indistinguishable performance. Considering it costs $40 less than its identikit sibling, the ES15 is definitely the better buy. Well, unless you care about looks that is...

In addition to looking a bit drab, the Samsung ES15’s plastic body has a cheap, hollow feel and doesn't seem like it will stand up to much punishment. To be fair though, you can’t really expect sexy, sturdy styling from a sub-$150 camera. For the asking price, it’s as good — if not better — than can be expected.

The ES15’s control interface and menu layout are identical to the Samsung ES55, including the 2.7in LCD screen. It sticks to a traditional 4-way control pad, which remained responsive throughout testing. The menu is well presented with clearly labeled headings, although the layout does take some getting used to. Certain camera modes require you to do some hunting, which is not only frustrating but also unnecessary (it’s not like the camera is chock-full of manual controls). That said, we were impressed by the inclusion of a Custom RGB mode in the menu, which is something few entry-level cameras provide.

The Samsung ES15 comes with all the same modes and features as its ES55 cousin. These include face detection, auto red-eye removal, a voice recorder, 12 scene modes, a slideshow function (complete with music and transitional effects), an inbuilt help guide, a VGA movie mode and a new automatic tool called Beauty Shot.

Google launches a new bookmarking feature

Google has launched a web page plug in called What’s popular which gives iGoogle homepage users a similar service to those offered by Stumbleupon, Reddit, Digg, , Mixx and  many more social bookmarking sites.

Google's own servers select links from YouTube and Reader and blend them with those submitted by users. The gadget shows users these links along with up and down arrows to vote approval or disapproval of the site.

Lacking in the Google feature is any way users can comment on a Web page, one of the central features of Digg and its rivals.

I have added it to my iGoogle page on my Windows Vista. IF you are not able to do it for yourself or have any other computer problems, feel free to call us at 1800602586.This is a toll free number.

Microsoft seeks partnership with Yahoo

Few months back there were talks about yahoo and Microsoft were making a partnership deal. Once again Microsoft and Yahoo are seeking partnership and are in news.

The CEO’s of both the companies had a face to face meeting last week as a part of deal, the negotiations are going on from few weeks.

The report cites a variety of sources, saying that the talks between Ballmer and Bartz and other Executives on both sides are preliminary and wide ranging. The proposed tie-up involves looking at the various commercial opportunities that a search and advertising partnership would present.

According to the report, the firm poached Yahoo‘s head of Engineering for the Search and Advertising Technology Group, Qi Lu, to lead its own search and online advertising efforts.

Merging of Yahoo and Microsoft would definitely make sense as it has been quite a long time that Google is ruling and dominating the internet market.

Google currently has around 60 per cent of the market, with Yahoo some way off in second place with 20 per cent and Microsoft even further behind.

Bartz has repeatedly sent out signals that she would not be pressured into selling off parts of Yahoo‘s business.

Commentators had generally agreed that the firm shows more direction and purpose with Bartz in charge, although it still has problems, and could be amenable to a deal, given the ground it still has to make up to challenge Google.

Microsoft will end support for office 2004

On Monday, Microsoft Macintosh Business unit made a statement which says that Microsoft will be ending the support for Microsoft office 2004 on 13 October 2009. And when asked, the company confirmed the news that they will be soon ending the support Microsoft office 2004 suite.

Microsoft office was officially released on 13 July 2004, and since then it has been updated with security fixes and other updates which were required. Even last year on 12 March 2008, Microsoft updated Microsoft office 2004 along with Microsoft 2008. But according to the Microsoft support website, they were not supposed to end it in October but on 9April 2013.

Conficker- All set to pop out again

Conficker is a work of malware that, in the form of multiple variants, has been worming its way through unpatched Windows desktop and server machines for the last four months.

In October 2008 Microsoft released a fix for the vulnerability that Conficker exploits. Windows machines have remained unpatched for Conficker to spread to what security researchers estimate to be millions of machines.

The prescription for Conficker prevention is prompt system patching, combined with client firewall and antivirus software for blocking the worm's activities and detecting and eliminating the malware where it surfaces.

Members of the computer security community have prepared a set of freely available tools to aid in Conficker detection and removal for infected systems on your network.

Moreover, because Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 machines have proven to be significantly less vulnerable to Conficker than systems running Windows 2000, XP and Server 2003, the worm also highlights the very real consequences of stepping off the so-called operating system upgrade treadmill. For all its hardware refresh requirements, potentially unwanted feature adjustments and software incompatibility wrinkles, Vista includes security enhancements that blunted the effect of Conficker on unpatched systems.

How Does Conficker Work?

Conficker's primary means of propagation involves exploiting buffer overflow vulnerability in Windows' Server system service, which is responsible for, among other things, enabling the sharing of local resources, such as disks and printers, with other machines on a network.

Conficker exploits this vulnerability to execute code on Windows systems, without requiring a system's user to open any file or visit any particular Web site--and without regard to whether a user is running with administrative or limited privileges.

Windows 2000, XP and Server 2003 are particularly vulnerable to Conficker because the affected Server service on these systems is configured to permit access from anonymous users. In October 2008, Microsoft provided information on removing the ACL (access control list) entry that permits this anonymous access, but since the ACL involved is hard-coded into the Windows DLL, this access modification would have had to be made after every boot.

With Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and the development builds of Windows 7, the vulnerable service limits access to authenticated users by default, but enabling the no-password file-sharing option on these systems would restore anonymous access--and vulnerability to Conficker.

Unpatched Windows XP SP2, Vista and Server 2008 machines shipped out-of-the-box with Windows' firewall enabled to block the vulnerable RPC (remote procedure call) interface, but the common firewall exception that enables file and print sharing opened the door to Conficker. Even with a firewall exception, however, Vista and Server 2008 machines would allow access to the vulnerable service only from other machines in the same network zone. For instance, sharing a resource on a Private network would not permit access to Conficker-infected nodes.

Firewall and service authentication requirements aside, Windows Vista and Server 2008 worked to mitigate Conficker infection with Address Space Layout Randomization, which, combined with the Data Execution Protection functionality introduced in XP SP2, makes it significantly more difficult to exploit buffer overflow vulnerabilities such as the one targeted by Conficker.
