What I've said

Ditching Cable

I've already ditched cable. The esoteric service I'm using is called "over=the-air broadcasting." Though I live 45 miles outside of the (Boston) urban center, I get 15 crystal-clear HD channels via a UHF antenna in my home's attic. That gives me more than enough local coverage, and I can backfill even more content with You Tube and DVD movies borrowed from the public library.

Well, I haven't completely ditched cable. The only high-speed Internet service provider around here is the cable company. So I rely on cable to send you this e-mail.

HD Video converter

hi buddy!
I'm currently using Video Converter Mac. It converts almost all video formats. It also convert HD videos for Mac.

Security

I heard mention that the Chrome OS will have some sort of encryption available a la bitlocker.
If it's possible to encrypt personal data using another password or key, then it may have potential for very secure data, provided it's users do so.
And Ubuntu has an 'encrypt home directory' option, perhaps google should follow suit.

Open Mobile launches humanitarian

Mobile technology can make a huge difference in key areas like access to health care and education, and UNICEF helped form the Open Mobile Consortium to challenge the open-source community to play a role in this process," says Erica Kochi, co-lead of UNICEF’s Innovation team.

OMC is a forum to pool expertise and develop partnerships to empower those most in need and to use mobile technology to improve their lives." The OMC strives to enable organizations working in the field in developing countries to collaborate across disparate platforms and products, reduce redundancies, and create a mechanism for freely sharing technical tools, information and approaches.bulk sms

Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.
