"Йельская схема"

В лекции происходит «закладка мема» т.н. «внедрение «Йельской схемы»».

При получении рефренса прямо во время лекции возоможен подарок. Но любой сгенерированный референс дает возможность получить «карточку йельской схемы».

Производится разъяснение философской и гуманитарной концепции программы: «Почему софт не может быть дорогим для студентов – «Йельская Концепция».

Создается отдельный Интернет сайт (он же «магазин») – именно через него человек получает свою авторизацию по рефренс-коду программы. Распространение возможности на семьи студентов.

Производится организация сбора статистики по Йельской системе. Чем больше народу обращаются по рефренсу от одного человека – тем больше внимания на его лидерство мнения.

Hinter dem Namen "COFEE", was für Computer Online Forensic Evidence Extractor steht, verbirgt sich ein USB Stick in der Größe eines Daumens. Bereits im letzten Juni wurden diese an diverse Vollzugsbehörden unter Ausschluss der Öffentlichkeit ausgeliefert. Im Funktionsumfang des Geräts sind 150 Befehle, welche eine enorme Zeitersparnis bieten, um digitale Beweismittel ans Tageslicht zu befördern. Das Gerät kann beispielsweise Passwörter entschlüsseln und Daten sowie die Internetaktivität des Benutzers analysieren.

In der zweiten Jahreshälfte 2007 berichtete Microsoft, dass die Zahl der durch Trojaner und anderen Downloadtools infizierten Rechner um über 300 % gestiegen sei. Hierbei muss man jedoch klar differenzieren, denn bei den meisten Trojanern ist das Hauptmotiv die Erschleichung von Kontodaten und Passwörtern. Mit dem Tool von Microsoft sollen Behörden schnell und ohne Hindernisse an forensisch relevante Daten kommen.

Der Konzern aus Redmond stellt mehr als 2,000 Ermittlern auf der ganzen Welt das Gerät kostenlos zur Verfügung. Besonders Interpol will die Zusammenarbeit und Unterstützung des Softwareherstellers loben. Brad Smith von Microsoft über das nicht ganz uneigennützige Verhalten: "Genau wie jeder andere Softwarehersteller profitieren wir vom Verkauf von Technologien an unsere Kunden." (Autor: gS-)

So far, things seem to be more fun and exciting than my last internship.  Last time, it was the suburbs of Minneapolis (which due to my location in Eagan I was unable to easily use public transportation).  This time it's the suburbs of Seattle, and the transport here seems to be amazing.  Also, now that I'm 21 I'll be able to go to bar nights with my co-workers, which was something that I was unable to do last summer and it put a real damper on my social life.

Things seem to be going well.  There will be more updates as time goes on.

See that costume that Ninja Gaiden star Ryu Hayabusa is wearing? Looks pretty bad ass, doesn't it? Ya, I'd say so. Would you pay money to get to see it? Oh, you would? Alright, that'll be $2.50. That is exactly what Microsoft is doing to you. The big, old M$ recently announced that three costumes would be released as downloadable content for Ninja Gaiden 2 in July. They will cost 200 MS points each. "But, Peri", you say "that's a measly $2.50." I'd respond "Yes, yes it is." You know what else it is? A waste of time and money.

This is a trend that has been building since the Xbox 360 was released. Developers simply tack on some DLC to make it seem like their game has more to offer. With Oblivion it was horse armor, and now with Ninja Gaiden 2 its costumes. These costumes should be available for free as unlockables; we should not be charged money for them. Microsoft is insulting all of us by basically saying "Hey, by this new skin that you can stare at and do absolutely nothing with." That's what it amounts to, a new skin for your character. Fantastic. You know the worst part about it? People will still buy it.

Here's a tip to developers out there: the majority of gamers enjoy new content. Not a new costume. Create DLC with substance. Something that actually extends the amount of gameplay in the game. Now, it would be a different story if these new costumes gave you some special new bad ass power that allowed you to rip out people's hearts and eat them... or something like that, but no, they do nothing but look pretty.

Now, I'm not saying all developers do this, or that it's even the norm. There is plenty of great DLC that is released. Rockstar clearly knows what good DLC's all about. It has been rumored that the exclusive DLC for GTA IV could contain entirely new cities! Bioware also knows how to appropriately release DLC with Mass Effect's Bring Down the Sky which actually introduces a new race into the game. And that only costs $5 for what amounts to at least 90 minutes of gameplay, whereas these new costumes get you nothing in the way of additional gameplay. Harmonix has released tons of songs for Rock Band. Not all of them are great, but its not like they simply added more guitars or clothes to the game and charged you for them. They're also releasing full albums as well.

I sincerely hope that this trend does not continue. DLC needs to have substance, add to gameplay, and be relatively cheap (unless its like a full blown expansion pack. But it should still be fairly priced). If your DLC doesn't have at least 2 out of 3 three of those qualities, then it's not worth releasing.

It really is a crime against the consumer to release things like this, and I urge you not to buy this DLC. You will simply perpetuate the cycle of bad DLC and justify the company's decision to release this crap.

I'll of course have to go cold turkey outside of Redlands. Being without the dialysis machine's steady flow of Kool-Aid to keep me alive will be interesting. I think I'll pack my bags with instructor-led training manuals to keep me going. Perhaps I could rig a get up like Darth Vader, or one of those liquid breathing rigs from The Abyss to sustain me?

Truth be told, I really have to get crackin' on finishing my final paper to graduate from the Nunnery's fortress-like bunker walls. It's like pulling teeth. No need to pose as an ESL student, I write like one! If you see someone sitting with a bunch of books strewn across a table with a "WWJD: What would Jack do?" t-shirt on. That's probably me. Stop by. Say hello. Move on. I have work to do.

Oh, and don't forget! Dave Bouwman is buying drinks with his ESRI Dev Summit earnings for anyone who wears an ESRI t-shirt or looks like James Fee in the Marriott bar.

Install Windows XP Service Pack 3

This latest service pack for Windows XP culminates all updates before it including new security features from Windows XP Service Pack 2. This simple step goes a long way in ensuring that your operating system is ready for today's security landscape since 2001 (the year the OS was launched). You can install it on an existing installation of Windows XP or slipstream it so that future installations of Windows XP includes the service pack right out of the box. You can download it either through Windows Update or at the Microsoft website.

Turn on Windows Firewall

Before you connect to the Internet, make sure you have a firewall installed and in use. A firewall helps prevent unsolicited communications to and from your computer with harmful websites. Windows XP includes a built-in software firewall called Windows Firewall which can be activated with a few clicks.

1. On the Start menu, click Run.
2. Type "firewall.cpl", and click OK.
3. Select On (recommended).
4. Click OK.

Note that Windows Firewall allows exemptions from its monitoring. Therefore you should keep an eye on the list of programs not monitored by Windows Firewall. You should keep the number of exemptions as small as practical for your daily Internet activities.

1. In the Windows Firewall dialog box, select the Exceptions tab.
2. Under Programs and Services, select an unwanted program.
3. Uncheck the checkbox or click Delete.
4. Click OK once finished.

Turn on Automatic Updates

New attacks appear everyday so it is important for you to keep your operating system one step ahead of the game. By turning on Automatic Updates, Windows will check for updates for you automatically when you're connected to the Internet. You can choose whether to allow Windows to install them for you itself or ask for your permission beforehand.

1. On the Start menu, click Run.
2. Type "wuaucpl.cpl", and click OK.
3. Select one of the first three options.
4. Click OK.

If you select the second or third option, make sure that you do install the updates when prompted to.

Extend protection from Data Execution Prevention (DEP)

By default, DEP only protects core Windows processes from buffer overflow attacks, a type of exploitation where a malware tampers with parts of another process' memory section in order to compromise the system. You can have DEP to protect all other processes from this type of attack.

1. On the Start menu, click Run.
2. Type "sysdm.cpl", and click OK.
3. Select the Advanced tab, and click Settings under Performance.
4. In the Performance Options dialog box, select the Data Execution Prevention tab.
5. Select Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select.
6. Click OK.

Note that some programs may not work properly with DEP protection. In these cases, simply check the checkboxes next to the program in the DEPexemption list for them to work correctly again. These programs will appear in the list once they have been closed by DEP.

Turn off Autorun/Autoplay

When you insert a software CD, more often than not it will automatically run the installation program by itself, with the help of Autorun. Viruses stored on removable media can do the same if you do not prevent it. Windows Vista changed the way Autorun scripts are handled so that permission is required for them to run. In Windows XP, you can disable this feature in Group Policy.

1. On the Start menu, click Run.
2. Type "gpedit.msc", and click OK.
3. Under Computer Configuration, select the Administrative Templates folder, and then select the Settings folder.
4. Open Turn off Autoplay.
5. Select Enable, and then select All drives under Turn off Autoplay on.
6. Click OK.

Unfortunately, Windows XP will still run the scripts if you open the drives directly either through double-click or the Enter key. You should therefore always right-click your drives and choose Open to bypass the scripts.

Avoid using an administrator account

Running under an administrator account allows viruses and Autorun exploits to do everything that you as an administrator can do: install malware, run Trojans, deleting files, formatting disks, record password keys, and so on. You can greatly limit the damage by logging on as a "User", a type of user account that lets you run most programs without giving viruses the user account privileges to change your computer settings. You can create a "User" account by following these instructions.

1. On the Start menu, click Run.
2. Type "nusrmgr.cpl", and click OK.
3. Select Create a new account.
4. Type a name for the account, and click Next.
5. Select Limited, and click Create Account.

When you do need to install programs or change computer settings when logged on as a "User", hold down the Shift key and right-click the installation program or Control Panel item and select "Run as", you will then only give that program administrator privileges for that instance only.

Use a strong user account password

Last but not least, you should give strong passwords for administrator user accounts. All these security measures are useless if someone with access to your administrator accounts can revert them back. There is a Wikipedia article on the characteristics of a strong password.

Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to log on

This key sequence is recognized only be Windows. When you activate this sequence at the Welcome Screen, you will be presented with a traditional log on dialog box. This way of logging on ensures that your password is communicated to Windows only and not to third-party software.

O OOXML é o novo formato de documentos da Microsoft, supostamente aberto e padronizado. A Microsoft precisa desesperadamente (não estou exagerando) que esse formato seja padronizado pela ISO porque isso é um critério para ter o formato aprovado para uso oficial em governos de diversos países (acho que inclusive no Brasil). Governos são clientes muito lucrativos para qualquer empresa de informática, pois o parque computacional deles é gigantesco (imagine quantas cópias do Microsoft Office o governo brasileiro tem, por exemplo). Ficar de fora disso seria um grande golpe para um dos produtos mais lucrativos dela.

Como a criação de um padrão para formato de documentos é muito importante, já que afeta o dia-a-dia de virtualmente todo mundo que usa computador, destaco aqui algumas das coisas que aconteceram, com as devidas fontes para comprovar a credibilidade.

Vindo de alguém que usa Linux e contribui como pode com seu desenvolvimento, este post pode soar "fundamentalista", e mais uma "reclamação de nerd". Antes fosse. Não estou escrevendo sobre questões técnicas, ou simplesmente práticas competitivas agressivas. Trata-se de comportamento malicioso, ilegal e danoso à sociedade, que precisa ser trazido à tona. E para evitar criar a impressão de um artigo radical, corroboro minhas observações e opiniões com referências sólidas.

Já me disseram que capitalismo é assim mesmo, e o que a Microsoft faz deve ser esperado de qualquer grande empresa. Eu discordo. Não acho que a Microsoft seja a única empresa que faz esse tipo de coisa, claro. Mas não acho que nós devemos esperar e tolerar que empresas tenham comportamento dessa natureza.

Por exemplo, este artigo do Groklaw cita (e além disso inclui na íntegra, no final) um documento interno e confidencial da Microsoft que foi usado como evidência em um processo contra a mesma. Leia pelo menos o primeiro quadro azul, é revoltante. Eu não consigo imaginar outras empresas que tenham documentos internos oficiais com esse teor. Isso ultrapassa o limite de práticas comerciais agressivas e capitalismo selvagem, e só pode ser considerado falta de ética e desonestidade. Essa é a cultura corporativa da Microsoft.

Bom, está na hora de falar da aprovação do OOXML na ISO (meu objetivo quando comecei a escrever este artigo), e já que citei o documento interno da Microsoft, começo mencionando este post do Jomar Silva que comenta a aplicação da tática descrita no documento ao processo da ISO. Jomar Silva foi um dos representantes da ABNT no comitê JTC1 da ISO e se envolveu diretamente com o processo de aprovação. É testemunha ocular.

Aliás, pelo que eu pude ler sobre o trabalho da ABNT nesse episódio, ela está de parabéns em sua atuação no processo, ao contrário de outros países (mais sobre isso adiante). O Brasil votou um redondo não ao padrão OOXML.

Mas afinal por quê foi errado aprová-lo? Isso está fora do escopo deste post, mas resumindo a ópera ele tem muitos (mas muitos mesmo) buracos na especificação do formato de arquivo, além de ser tecnicamente inferior. Se quiser saber mais sobre isso, outros artigos explicam bem a questão (cada palavra é um link diferente).

Voltando ao assunto, este post (também do Jomar Silva) explica como foi a reunião de BRM (Ballot Resolution Meeting) em Genebra. BRM é uma reunião que faz parte do processo de fast track para aprovação de padrões. Os países votam sobre a aprovação antes da BRM, e depois da reunião têm um prazo para mudar seu voto se acharem adequado. No caso do OOXML, essa reunião foi uma palhaçada, já que os participantes foram obrigados a discutir pouco mais de mil emendas ao padrão (para consertar seus defeitos) em uma semana. Não tem como.

Mas isso não é nada comparado com irregularidades que surgiram em alguns países. O voto inicial da Noruega sobre o OOXML havia sido de não aprovar. Após a BRM, houve uma reunião do comitê daquele país para decidir o voto final. Mesmo com 80% dos membros sendo contra a mudança para sim, o país aprovou o padrão! Aqui está o relato de um membro do comitê, e outro do presidente do comitê, que estavam na reunião. O presidente do comitê enviou uma carta à ISO, pedindo que o voto da Noruega seja desconsiderado até que o resultado de um inquérito apurando as irregularidades seja concluído.

Na França, um e-mail interno vazou onde um alto funcionário público mandou que o OOXML fosse rapidamente adicionado à lista de formatos de arquivo usados pelo governo, e que essa lista fosse então rapidamente encerrada. Isso antes de o formato ser aprovado! E antes disso, o e-mail menciona que processo havia sido travado para esperar o OOXML. Ah, eles mudaram o voto de não para abstenção.

Na Alemanha, não foi permitido ao comitê rejeitar o padrão e houve um empate (6 a 6) entre "sim" e "abstenção". As regras da reunião que decidiria se a Alemanha mudaria seu voto inicial de "sim" eram bastante complicadas, e o resultado foi conturbado e discutível, como pode ser visto no relato de um membro do comitê. Entre os problemas, inclui-se o fato de o grupo de trabalho ter sido formado de forma claramente desequilibrada, contrariando as regras do comitê. Além disso, para votar na opção de abstenção era necessário antes questionar o relatório do presidente do comitê, o que implicava em ofendê-lo. Do relato: "This question had the sole purpose of requiring people to offend the chairman of the working group if they voted against OOXML (i.e. to vote "abstain" at ISO)".

Na Polônia, a presidente do comitê foi acusada pelo representante da IBM de manipular intencionalmente o processo, por duas razões. Uma: o presidente do Comitê de Normatização Polonês (acho que equivalente à nossa ABNT) enviou uma carta através dela para todos os membros do comitê responsável pelo OOXML recomendando que se não houvesse um claro consenso, a Polônia deveria se abster, mas ela não repassou a carta pra ninguém, e nem avisou ninguém disso. Dois: para informar os membros do comitê sobre os resultados da BRM, ela usou um conjunto de slides com informações erradas, dando a falsa impressão de que 98% das emendas ao OOXML haviam sido satisfatoriamente resolvidas (esses slides foram feitos por Raul Pesch, da Microsoft Holanda). A Polônia aprovou o padrão. A Comissão Européia está investigando.

Em 2007 na Suécia, na época da 1ª votação, vazou um memorando que a Microsoft enviou aos seus parceiros dizendo para se registrarem no Instituto de Padronização da Suíça e votar sim ao OOXML. Em troca, receberiam suporte de marketing e recursos da Microsoft.

Há relatos de algumas coisas estranhas que aconteceram na Croácia também, mas não consegui achar nenhuma fonte ligada ao comitê de lá sobre isso, então prefiro não mencionar aqui (mas não há razão para duvidar desses relatos, dado o que deu pra ver que aconteceu em outros países).

A Electronic Frontier Finland publicou um pequeno estudo estatístico interessante, mostrando uma correlação entre o nível de corrupção de um país e o seu voto ao OOXML. Adivinhe o resultado?

Esse artigo também mostra um dado interessante, no final: pouco antes do processo do OOXML, 11 países se inscreveram como membros participantes da ISO. Desses, 9 aprovaram o padrão, 1 se absteve e 1 rejeitou. Por que não estou surpreso?

Ainda nessa linha, na 1ª votação em 2007 a Free Software Foundation Europe acusou a Microsoft de inflar os comitês dos países com aliados para votar sim ao padrão na Suíça, Suécia, Alemanha, Portugal, Holanda e Estados Unidos.

Ufa, vou parar por aqui. Não cobri tudo o que rolou nesse mais de ano de processo de aprovação do OOXML na ISO, mas acho que deu pra transmitir a mensagem que eu queria... :-)

Oke terlepas dari beragam alesan gak penting napa gua menolak undangan tersebut, gua cuma berharap juga bahwa orang-orang macam Larry Page dan Sergey Brin, dedengkotnya Google juga mau ikut ngasih kursus kepresidenan ato apalah. Justru gua ngerasa dua orang itu jauh lebih hebat dan powerfull ketimbang si Om Bill. Ato  si David Filo dan Jerry Yang, pendiri Yahoo! yang sangat fenomenal.

Di tunggu aja apakah orang-orang hebat ini mau ngasih ilmunya ke bangsa Indonesia. Mungkin jangan sekarang deh, kita lagi deg-degan nunggu harga BBM yang bikin keringat dingin itu... 

Of course, iChat works great on Mac as long as you use AOL. For those who do not use AOL (because they live in the 21st Century), no other choice is available.

Not to worry. Microsoft to the rescue! Seriously! Microsoft is releasing a new version of Messenger for Mac that allows video chat with non-AOL users. What's the catch? It only works if you're in a corporate environment running Office Communications Server 2007 which, as we all know, is a product by (none other than) Microsoft!

Score one for the PC. And as soon as I rebuild Windows on my laptop to address my blue screen of death issue, I'll be on line video chatting. :-)

You can find more information on Wired Blog.

It amazes me how utterly appalling the uptake is of Windows in the car industry.

Microsoft Sync with a Microsoft's Live Mesh client opens up the ability to take contacts, music, continuous user experiences (such as phone calls, paused music and podcast bookmarks), to your car.

Combine that with a 'Windows Live PC' running on an 'Xbox portable' or Zune in the mesh as I've mentioned in this series of posts on Live Mesh, and you can really see the magic of software plus services coming together for a seamless user experience.

I've talked about how such a virtual PC could be available on an Xbox 360, a Mac or other platforms.

One of problems with the Microsoft UMPC initiate has been that cost of PC capabilities in a small form-factor, and the need to up the component cost to provide Vista in that form factor.  This has made many UMPCs (so far built not by Microsoft, but by IHVs) more expensive than many notebook computers and with less power at the same price.

With my concept of the 'Windows Live PC' and minimal SSD storage, the UMPC could stop growing in power (and energy consumption, resulting in longer battery life) and just turn into a 'Windows Live PC' client.

In previous posts I suggested that such a client doesn't have to be very powerful.  I also said that the xbox 360 is good enough.  In fact the original xbox is likely good enough too in many ways - even perhaps a PS2 or PS3!!

How about a PC the size of a Mac Mini or the size of a Zune?

What if Microsoft sold its own UMPC with SSD storage, the form-factor of something like a Samsung Q1 Ultra but not much processing power - how about an Xbox portable?

An Xbox portable would be the ultimate convergent future of Live Mesh, Xbox, Xbox Live, 'Windows Live PC', Xbox portable, WPF, Remote App, Windows Server 2008, Windows licensing, ISV solution channel, etc. 

Robbie Bach, J Allard, Ray Ozzie, Bob Muglia, Steve Ballmer & Bill Gates - take a look at this series of posts on Live Mesh - I know what you're up to :) and if you're not then you should be - it's a vision I want to be involved in one way or another from the outside or the inside...

Mais de 140 milhões de licenças do Windows Vista já foram vendidas, o que na média significa que foram vendidas cerca de três cópias por segundo desde Janeiro do sistema operativo.

"É um ritmo de vendas muito rápido", disse Bill Gates em uma conferência. Porém, o que não foi dito é que quase todos os computadores novos já têm o Vista pré-instalado, ou seja, cada novo computador significa uma nova licença do Vista.

Mesmo as pessoas que optaram pela volta ao XP possuem uma cópia do Vista, apesar de não usá-la. Além disso, a Microsoft não divulgou quantas das licenças foram obtidas pela atualização do XP.

A Microsoft continua na batalha para convencer seus consumidores que o Vista é forte e é a nova onda dos sistemas operacionais. Muitas pessoas ainda estão agarradas as suas cópias XP, que é o sistema operacional mais antigo e de longe o mais funcional.

Silverlight 2.0+ is the SUPER TROJAN HORSE onto the Mac, Linux and I believe there could be more platforms to come (see next post...)

Some developers may already be wondering why they should bother with HTML, AJAX, DOMs, DHTML, Javascript, etc. now that they can provide a hugely rich WPF Windows application in a browser using their existing .NET skills (plus WPF), and when that browser can be IE and Firebox on Windows, Safari on Mac, and whatever it is on Linux, without any of the nightmare that cross-browser standards-compatibility creates.

In previous posts I said that my notional 'Windows Live PC' will run (via RemoteApp) on anything that can handle the necessary technology stack with the xbox 360 being more than enough.  It seems to me that Silverlight 2.0 (or perhaps a later interation) could easily talk the Remote Desktop protocol.  Once that happens Microsoft can be selling you a 'Windows Live PC' subscription on your Mac and all those Windows-targeting ISVs can now license their product onto a Mac or Linux!!!

Note that there is already a Remote Desktop Client for Mac, but with the potential for Microsoft to offer a virtual 'Windows Live PC' running full screen, the Mac could fade into just a remoteapp client to a 'Windows Live PC' albeit a great new channel for the Windows and ISV software licensing - now that's what I call leveraging!

É...

Aqui está faltando um monte de opções no Microsoft Word que eu não conhecia!

Acho mesmo que esse post foi somente para testar, porque usar, acho que não é a primeira função ainda!

Até mais!

Live Mesh provides a Web-based Live Desktop which is currently just a 5GB file store with a Windows-Explorer styled web interface.  Add Windows Server 2008 Server RemoteApp into the mix, or should I say mesh, and you get the ability to run Windows anywhere you can run Remote Desktop.

Remote Desktop uses the Remote Desktop Protocol.  So for a client device to provide a virtual Windows experience it more or less just needs to support a graphic blitting display, keyboard & mouse (or similar), TCP/IP and some cryptography for security.

So how basic could such a device be?  Well that doesn't matter because that xbox 360 is more than powerful enough and guess who sells that.  That's right, you may already have a device in one or more rooms in your house that could be the PC of your future.  Remember that the RD protocol isn't great for remoting intense A/V or graphics.  That's OK, because you would play games locally using the full local power of the xbox, and Microsoft has already mastered the Xbox Live multi-player service.

So you could have a Microsoft 'Live PC' which you access from any Xbox without any software installation.  Xbox already does this kind of trick and even with HD video when it acts as an extender for a local Windows Media Center (running on XP Media Center or various Vista versions).

WPF makes it easier.  The RD protocol does things to optimise the transfer of the virtual desktop image on the remote physical machine.  When Xbox 360 is used as an extender it talks to the Media Center service on a local PC with a higher-than-pixel-level protocol to optimise the data.  WPF provides a high level of retained descriptive UI too.  I can see the RD protocol optimised (if it hasn't been already) for remotely WPF applications.  Microsoft would then encourage ISV to create more WPF-based apps that would be inherently optimised for a 'Live PC' experience.

Let's not forget that Windows Home Server that was quietly (relatively) released last year.  That server could start providing a LAN-based RemoteApp service for those things that can't be run well over an Internet connection.  A virtual 'Home Office 201x Service' perhaps?

La diferentes funciones son:

Tecla Windows + Tab: se mueve entre las aplicaciones en la barra de tareas (con la barra espaciadora se activa la aplicación seleccionada). A esta función no le encuentro mucha utilidad pero está.
* Tecla Windows + D: minimiza o restaura todas las ventanas a la vez. Es lo mismo que el mostrar escritorio de la barra de acceso rápido.
* Tecla Windows + E: Abre el Explorador de archivos.
* Tecla Windows + Ctrl + F: Abre la búsqueda de equipos.
* Tecla Windows + F1: Abre el centro de ayuda y soporte técnico (No conozco a nadie que le haya servido la ayuda de Windows)
* Tecla Windows + F3: Abre la búsqueda de archivos.
* Tecla Windows + R: Abre la ventana Ejecutar. Una de la que más uso.
* Tecla Windows +Pausa/Inter: Abre la ventana Propiedades del Sistema. Esta no la sabía, muy útil.
* Tecla Windows + M: minimiza todas las ventanas. Misma que con D, alguien que me diga para que pusieron 2 accesos rápidos que hacen lo mismo, la unica que se me ocurre es para hacer esta combinación con la mano derecha.
* Tecla Windows + Mayusculas + M: deshace la minimización de las ventanas. Si apretas Windows + M de nuevo tambien se restauran, otro duplicado.
* Tecla Windows + L: bloquea la estación de trabajo. Solo útil si el usuario tiene clave, sino es lo mismo que nada.
* Tecla Windows + U: Abre el Administrador de Utilidades (Aplicaciones de accesibilidad).
* Tecla Windows + Ctrl + Tab: permite moverse entre pestañas o subventanas de una aplicación (p. ej., Firefox). Cual es la diferencia de hacerlo sin la tecla Windows?

Si encuentran alguna otra avisen.

I've said that I think Microsoft Live Mesh is approximately FolderShare + FeedSync + Remote Desktop + Live Core Services.

Mesh provides a Web-based Live Desktop which currently looks like FolderShare/SkyDrive with 5GB on cloud-based storage with a new web interface that looks like Explorer.  Your can remote desktop to Vista/XP devices in your mesh, but the web-based desktop does not currently...  provide an application/process execution environment that you could remote desktop to...  see where this could be going?

For those not familiar with remote desktop, it's the ability to have an XP/Vista or Windows Server computer running somewhere and have your login experience appear where you are - that means the keyboard, monitor, mouse & speakers  at the computer you are using (and even local hard drives and printers) can connect to your remote physical desktop (or login on a windows server) and it feels like you are physically sitting in front of your remote physical machine.  To do this, your local machine needs to be able to run the remote desktop client software.  You can run the client full screen or in a window.  Many people work form home by using a home PC to connect to their work PC.  There are performance limitations to this, but it works just fine for information workers and develops in many cases.  Intense A/V experience don't remote so well.

So you can remote your physical XP/Vista desktop and use it on the machine you have.  This is a user using their computer remotely.  The experience can also be shared so that the regular user can be at the physical PC and a remote user can share the experience - this is Remote Assistance and allows IT support staff to help users through procedures. 

Windows Server 2003 (and a little earlier) provides Terminal Services - whereby multiple virtual (no physical keyboard, video & mouse) desktop sessions can be present on a server with each desktop session connected to by a user on a PC.

Windows Server 2008 introduced RemoteApp: "Terminal Services (TS) RemoteApp and TS Web Access allow programs that are accessed remotely to be opened with just one click and appear as if they are running seamlessly on the end user's local computer."  So rather than remoting the whole desktop, one or more single application windows appear on the local machine which are really running on a server somewhere... 

Back to my 'Windows Live PC' concept.  Live Mesh provides this Web-based Live Desktop which as I said currently is a folder storage services but it has a Windows Explorer-like UI.  What would happen if you could actually double-click on a file and the appropriate application would launch, and without having to install anything!  Yep, put Windows Server 2008 behind the Live Mesh web desktop and you have Live PC - a PC anywhere. 

Such a 'Windows Live PC' would open up a huge subscription model for Windows and applications.  Microsoft could provide a service-provider infrastructure so that instead of selling you software by download or on DVD, you could just license the service through Microsoft (or perhaps independent hosting).  Instant deployment.  This would make Windows Marketplace something worth looking through.

Microsoft may have had a struggle moving enterprise licensing to a subscription model with the horribly executed (at least initially) Software Assurance scheme, but the 'Windows Live PC' concept I've covered here could be the beginning of real subscription licensing of Windows... everywhere...  Ray Ozzie, I know what you're up to - I may even be up for sharing the vision if you have a suitable offer :)

While such a named product has not been announced to my knowledge, in subsequent posts in this series I'll examine how Microsoft could make 'Live PC' available on many devices and operating systems!

Namun, ketika dikonfirmasi mengenai kebenaran informasi ini, juru bicara Microsoft menolak berkomentar. Kabar tentang rencana akuisisi Microsoft terhadap situs jejaring sosial ini berhembus beberapa hari setelah Microsoft membatalkan proposal tawarannya untuk mengakuisisi Yahoo.

Sebelum Microsoft mengakhiri tawarannya kepada Yahoo, kalangan analis industri telah memprediksikan kemungkinan Microsoft akan menggaet Facebook. Raksasa software ini telah memiliki sejarah kerja sama dengan Facebook.

Sejak tahun 2006, Microsoft telah menjadi perantara iklan banner untuk Facebook dan mengantongi hak penuh iklan sebagai bagian dari paket investasi senilai USD 240 juta atau sekitar Rp 2,2 triliun. (faw/amz)

I'm sure many posts have been written about Mesh but I hope to succinctly tell you what direction this could all be going in, as I see it.

I've framed this as a trojan horse because Mesh appears to be aimed at the consumer or at least the mobile/home workers.  What it could turn into is a great online strategy for Microsoft and a real move to subscription based Windows everywhere!

It has been touted as a great platform for developers but my current feeling is that there will only be a handful of killer apps that can be built on top of this platform as currently explained, and Microsoft could well build those itself.  Keep ready this series for the real ISV opportunity...

Mesh was mentioned briefly at the Mix conference, which was a mostly empty delivery of news and rehash of Silverlight news.  See the Silverlight tag on this blog for a recap.  Announcing Mesh after the Mix may have been a timeline slip, or it may not matter since access to Mesh previews has been heavily limited.  Perhaps Microsoft has learned to temper excitement to new ideas... or the timeline slipped...

As currently explained Microsoft Mesh seems to approximate to FolderShare + FeedSync + Remote Desktop + Live Core Services.

Conceptually it's a set of cloud-based management for shared folders, device membership and a central activity news feed.  XP and Vista machines can join your mesh (by installing components on each desktop - with support for other devices coming later), but your mesh starts with one special device up front - a web-based Live Desktop that has 5GB of storage - I'll come back to this in subsequent posts, but for now think of it as virtual storage only (like Microsoft SkyDrive) with a Explorer-like web interface.  The cloud maintains information about notional 'meshed' folders that are made real on one or more real device file system and/or the web desktop's 5GB.  A share appears on each device (selected for share) as a folder positioned in the file system by the user.

So, once you have devices in a mesh and folders appearing on devices you can start to work on your files on one computer and then pick up that work on another computer.  If that's not good enough or you didn't put a file into a 'meshed' folder then you can remote desktop (with addition of some NAT traversal goodness) to a device to place a file into a 'meshed' folder.

This is all very well if you computer is not in power-save, the file is not exclusively locked syncing is up to date, and the internet connection is available for syncing,

Got the idea?  No? Check out mesh.com for an introduction at this time.

Je lui ai envoyé un message à 19:07:29, on a discuté, j'ai pas fermé l'onglet de discussion (j'utilise Kopete). Il s'est déconnecté à 23:40:34 et juste à ce moment, MSN m'informe que le message que je lui aie envoyé plus de 6 heures auparavent n'a pas été envoyé... Pensez ce que vous voulez, pour ma part j'affirme que quand vous envoyez un message via MSN, vous n'êtes pas sûr(e) que votre correspondant(e) le reçoive :-° ! Comme j'ai dit à mon pote dans cette même discussion :

Ne partez pas ! J'ai pas fini :p . Je vais maintenant vous prouver que Microsoft censure certains messages qui transitent via MSN. Pour ce faire, je vais utiliser 2 clients MSN (Pidgin et Kopete) et 2 comptes MSN différents : "Compte de test" sur Pidgin et "Vinc14" sur Kopete.

Voici une capture d'écran qui montre très bien la censure. Vinc14 envoie à Compte de test un lien, et MSN le censure. Vous pouvez voir que Microsoft censure certains liens sur cette capture ci.

Alors, allez-vous continuer à utiliser un système de messagerie instantanée (abregé IM) où vos messages sont contrôlés voire censurés ? Un système d'IM qui est contrôlé par une entreprise n'ayant aucun scrupule à espionner et à abuser des gens, et qui les entube avec son système propriétaire ? Ou bien allez-vous vous tourner vers le système d'IM du futur, sur lequel vous avez tout contrôle et que personne n'ira chercher à censurer ?

I took Exam MB2-632 last Friday and I got a failing grade of 60% correct. I needed a minimum of 70% to pass. This Applications exam, along with the other two CRM exams (Installation and Deployment & Customization and Configuration), can be extremely tricky, from what I've seen and heard. There are many "gotcha" questions which appear to have multiple *correct* answers, but you'll have to use your best judgment to pick the most efficient answer... or at least the one the test writers believe is correct. In the comments section of this MSDN CRM blog post, some test takers posted negative feedback regarding some questions on the exams.

So to wrap this up, make sure you revise the Exam Topics, which I've included below. For the Applications exam you will need to focus primarily on the newest features in CRM 4.0, such as Currency support and Service Scheduling, among others. You can safely disregard CRM 3.0 study materials, as most of the questions deal with newer concepts.

Also, don't forget to register for a "Second Shot" voucher number, which lets you take the exam again for free in case you have trouble on the first round, like yours truly. Register as soon as you can though, this program is valid only until June 30, 2008.

Good luck! Let me know how it went for you. :-)
