Whoever you are a newbie PC user or an IT expert,surely you care about the computer security.As a very strong competitor of Microsoft Internet Explorer,Mozilla Firefox grows very fast.That means even a small bug of this software,it may affect a large group of users.You could see that Firefox updates versions efficiently in order to minimize bugs which may cause some troubles to you and make some improvements in order to give you more comfortable experience on using it.

Currently,Mozilla Firefox 3.0.9 was released to fix some known issues.

  • Fixed several security issues.
  • Fixed several stability issues.
  • Many users experienced an issue where a corrupt local database caused Firefox to “lose” its stored cookies. (bug 470578)
  • Fixed an issue where, starting with Firefox 3.0.7, inline image attachments on popular webmail services (like AOL and AIM) would not display. (bug 482659)
  • Large forms would sometimes take a long time to submit. (bug 426991)
  • In certain cases, new windows would not have proper focus. (bug 446568)

    • According to my analysis,38% of visitors of my blog are using Firefox.Thus,if you’re in that group,please do the upgrading work now.That always benefits you. :)

    Every year of April 22,we celebrate the Earth day and next year,that would be the fortieth.

    Earth Day is a day for designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth‘s environment.As you know,the activities of human beings create a huge amount of pollutions and waste billions tons of different resources from the earth every year.That causes the earth being unhealthier as well as any kind of life-form.

    For turning our living environment to a better side,an effective green policy should be utilised as soon as possible.At the end of this year,negotiations for a new global climate agreement are coming.

    Earth Day 2009 must be a day of action and civic participation, to defend The Green GenerationTM’s core principles:

    • A carbon-free future based on renewable energy that will end our common dependency on fossil fuels, including coal.
    • An individual’s commitment to responsible, sustainable consumption.
    • Creation of a new green economy that lifts people out of poverty by creating millions of quality green jobs and transforms the global education system into a green one.

    Google has made a customized banner today.

    googleearthday(1)For individuals,the most simple thing we could do for the earth is to eliminate the waste and save energy such as electricity and gas.And we could consider to use more solar/wind energy products in our life if the purchasing cost of them are coming to be more reasonable.

    Happy Earth Day! :D

    I just talked about TIME 100 yesterday and I’m afraid that I have to talk it again here.Look closely at the below picture!

    The current ranking of TIME 100 Is that a hap?The answer is NO!Actually the source,TechCrunch told that the list was manipulated by moot(aka 21-year-old Christopher Poole), the founder of 4chan and his followers.

    Feel funny,right?However,when you see the clear face of this kind of power of technology,you’ll absolutely feel horrible too.More details are available here.

    Good night!

    Hacker could be good

    I believe many guys,especially young boys,always dream to be a hacker because what they get from TV Series/Movies is that hacker is a freelance job mixed with intelligence and stimulating.Damn cool!However,our ethics and laws tell us that being a hacker is a guilty and so it’d better to stay as a dream forever.

    Well,actually a hacker could be good.I know in the world there is a sort of class teaching people to be a Certified Ethical Hacker.Many people may be confused that how the class makes a hacker be ethical.

    Here’s the detail:

    Q:What is Certified Ethical Hacker(#CEH)?

    A:Before people attend to such a class,they have to sign an agreement stating that you will not use the newly acquired skills for illegal or malicious attacks and you will not use such tools in an attempt to compromise any computer system.Fulfil these rules,you only could be a certified Ethical Hacker.

     

    Q:Who will benefit from being a #CEH?

    A:Security officers, auditors, security professionals, site administrators, and anyone who is concerned about the integrity of the network infrastructure.

     

    Q:What does this “Hacker” really mean?

    A:In the class,people are taught to think and learn the knowledge which a real hacker applies so as to invade the real hacker’s minds and then against them and their illegal activities.

     

    Hacking is not the only knowledge you could get in the class.Penetration testing,Computer Forensics,Disaster Recovery and Secure Programming will also be very useful techniques that you may often use in the world of work.Of course,you could apply your knowledge to improve IT Security of your home network as well.That’ll be a simple thing for you as you are already a professional,right? :)

    So,if you wanna catch up the great stuff I’m mentioning here,you should try to visit EC-Council.I think you will definitely realize your dream there-legally!

    Once again,TIME is going to rank for the world’s most influential people in 2009 in partnership with CNN.However,this time every one in the world could take part in it in order to vote for finalists which ought to be much fairer than before because the result shows a kind of public opinion.

    Cast your votes

    It’s very simple to do it.Just enter into each page of candidates and use the sliders to rank influence.

    rankit(1) Totally there are 207 candidates in 2009.I don’t think every body knows who they are,nevertheless TIME introduces them well and simply speaks out with pros and cons to make a reference.
