Tell about Some Recent Computer News

I would like to state about some news about computers. First of all, on October 20, 2006, Japanese movie soft association reported that You Tube, which is a movie contribution and sharing web site in the U.S.A., deleted 29,549 files of Japanese production which was appeared in the web site without copyright's permission. Henceforth, Japanese copyrights intended to demand preventive measures against pipiracy from You Tube and ask the Internet users in Japan not to invade copyrights.
Second, according to a research which was done on April, 2006, it was shown that people who have used a mimic board in the Internet, regardless of having written on the board or not, represented 86.9 percent of all the Internet users in Japan. In addition, men, especially businessmen, tended to use mimic boards more than women.

Net Neutrality

Net Neutrality means an idea that Internet users should be guaranteed to use the Internet equally, and any companies ought not to be accepted to have an influence on users of the Internet and the access. For example, the following is the example of Net Neutrality's menace. “Two Pipes” are that a company provides the customers a service which permits the customers to be able to have a priority to access a particular content. That means it can be difficult for people who do not use the service to access the content. In addition, in the case of the Internet, there is a special characteristic that if a person or an association has a lot of the flow of data around the Internet (Internet traffic), it is extremely advantageous to the person or the association to act in the Internet. For this reason, some corporations and organization insist that Net Neutrality should be the law. Also, the argument whether the idea should be the law or not is continuing now.

Introduce 3 Good Web Sites

I would like to introduce three interesting web sites to you. First of all, Wolfram MathWorld is very interesting and useful. This web site has a lot of information about math, and you can study many field of the subject if you use the web site well. However, if you are not interested in math or do not like it, it is not interesting for you, but I think that it is worth for you to enter the web site even if you hate mathematics. Second, You Tube is also very funny. You may have already known the web site. It provides you with many movies without paying money. In addition, the movies have many kinds of movies, like animation, TV shows, and so on. Moreover, there area lot of movies that are created by amateurs, and some of the movies are very creative. Finally, I will state about Wikipedia. Probably, you know the web site, and it provides you with many kinds of knowledge not only academic subjects but also comics, novels, and so forth. For this reason, you can know many things, but Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia, so everyone can write article in the encyclopedia. Therefore, you should not trust the article completely. Also, the web site is displayed in not only English but also many languages, such as Japanese and French; thus, when you cannot understand an article in English, you can read it in Japanese if there is the Japanese type article. I show you three of my favorites web sites’ URL below. Please refer to them.

Computer Gifts I Would Buy for Friends & Family

I would like to buy a iMac for my parents and my younger brother because there are some reasons to think so. First, my parents and brother are not good at using computers. Of course, my family has computers, but my parents are poor at memorizing the manipulation. In addition, my younger brother uses his computer only for computer games and the Internet. For these reasons, they do not know how to utilize computers well, and I heard that a iMac is easy for every one to use it from some of my friends. Thus, I think that if I give a iMac to my parents and brother, they know how to use computers well. Second, I think that computers’ security is important. Many people say that Mac computers are safer than Windows computers because almost all of the viruses are made from Windows computer. For this reason, I think my parents and brother can use a iMac peacefully. In conclusion, if I have a chance to present a computer, I must choose a iMac as the present, in terms of the ease of use and the high level security.

Computer Terms "Social Engineering"

Social Engineering means that someone gets personal secret information to catch off the target carelessness. The purpose of the conduct is that the person gets the target's password by accessing the target's computer illegally, without damaging the computer itself. The following are three examples of means of Social Engineering. First example is that someone personates a systems administrator, and others, and the person pumps the password from the target. Second, someone stands behind the target, who is using a keyboard, and looks at the monitor or keyboard when the target inputs the password. Then the gazer knows the password of the target. Final example is that someone steals a look at a paper which is written the target's password. Also, now, these ways are used to know not only password but also the password of credit card of the target.
