Facebook: Deactivation Vs Delete

I often see that people tell me that they have deactivated their Facebook account to delete it permanently. It is just like a shock for me that how Facebook can delete your account permanently if you are asking for deactivation.
Someone said to me that when we deactivate our Facebook account for a long time it doesn't exist.
Just to make it clear that deactivation and deleting account both are not similar. If you think so then how you can activate your Facebook account if it has been deleted permanently by your deactivation. May be you are getting what I am trying to say. Well this post is just to clear the difference between both operations.

Deactivation of your profile is like you are putting your chat messenger offline that means your profile exists but people can't see. Your data exist on the server of Facebook but it is not available for Facebook users until your activate it again.

Deleting your account will remove all your data exist on the Facebook server. As it is deleted permanently then you can not recover your account again as you can do with a deactivated account.

Most of you know about deactivation of your account that can be done by following these steps

Sign in to your Facebook profile > account setting > Security> Deactivate Account
select "This is temporary. I'll be back." option in the reason field and confirm it.

To recover just Sign in as you normally do and you profile will be as it was.

There is no direct delete button or option so to delete your  account permanently. You have to follow this link (It is safe and Facebook's own but before any action please confirm your steps. I will not be responsible for any loss of data) http://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=delete_account and follow the instructions.  If this link doesn't work, please let me know.

How To Connect 2 Computer Using Crossover Cable.

To connect 2 compute using crossover cabel . 

You only need 1 crossover cable  and 2 network cards .

This is wired connection approach to connect 2 computers directly without involving other network devices, such as network router or switch. It’s effective and simple way if you want to connect the computers temporary. If the network card on computers supports auto MDI/MDIX feature, you could use crossover or straight through network cable to connect both computers. If not, crossover cable is needed!

Let see how to do it here: Plug in network card each to computer and then connect the network cable to both computers’ network card. Yep.. we have finished the physical setup.

Now let’s proceed to install network card driver on each computer if you have not done yet and also make sure the driver is installed properly.

After installing network card driver, here comes the network configuration, let’s create a simple network by assigning following IP address and subnet mask settings to each computer's network card, so that both computers know how to talk to each other:

Computer A:

IP Address: 10.1.1.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: [leave-it-blank]
DNS Servers: [leave-it-blank]

Computer B:

IP Address: 10.1.1.2
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: [leave-it-blank]
DNS Servers: [leave-it-blank]

Since these 2 computers are directly connected, no gateway and DNS servers are required to be configured. If you are not too sure how to configure IP address and subnet mask on computer. check out this step-by-step instructions to assign IP address and other network information in Windows 7 and Windows XP user.

After assigning IP address, try to ping the other computer from command prompt, you should be able to ping each other and then sharing printers or files as you wish.

Symantec reports a new malware for Mac  

Symantec has reported a new malwarefor Mac called OSX.Crisis. Crisis malware has functionality to spread to four different environments: Mac, Windows, virtual machines, and Windows Mobile, a statement issued by the company said.
It is an advanced threat not only in function, but also in the way it spreads. The threat uses three methods to spread itself: one is to copy itself and an autorun.inf file to a removable disk drive, another is to sneak onto a VMware virtual machine, and the final method is to drop modules onto a Windows Mobile device. Specifically in virtual environments, the threat searches for a VMware virtual machine image on the compromised computer and, if it finds an image, it mounts the image and then copies itself onto the image by using a VMware Player tool, the statement said.
The release said that it does not use vulnerability in the VMware software itself. It takes advantage of an attribute of all virtualization software: namely that the virtual machine is simply a file or series of files on the disk of the host machine. These files can usually be directly manipulated or mounted, even when the virtual machine is not running as is the case above.
"This may be the first malware that attempts to spread onto a virtual machine," said Shantanu Ghosh, vice president and managing director, India product operations, Symantec. "Many threats will terminate themselves when they find a virtual machine monitoring application, such as VMware, to avoid being analyzed, so this may be the next leap forward for malware authors," he said.

fastest data cable system

Asia gets its fastest undersea data cable system

A new 7,800 km undersea data cable has opened to traffic in Asia linking Japan, Malaysia,Singapore and the Philippines which could aid in financial trade.

The Submarine-cable Express (ASE) transfers data via an optical fibre system at 40 gigabits per second, and is three milliseconds faster than any other cable between Singapore and Tokyo, the BBC News reported.

The gain in speed may sound small, but could prove critical to financial trades made out of the region.

So-called "high frequency trades", controlled by computers, involve making what may be hundreds of thousands of transactions in less than a second - all determined by a program that tracks market conditions.

With banks and hedge funds competing against each other, the size of the profit or loss can come down to a matter of beating the competition by a fraction of a second, explained Ralph Silva, a strategist at Silva Research Network.

"High frequency trading is basically computer trading - you program a set of rules and as events happen - the computer decides buy or sell commands," he was quoted as saying by the BBC.

"As all incoming data is received by all banks at the same time, and because the computers are all the same with the same speed of processors, the length of time the command takes to get to the exchange makes a big difference," he said.

"Three milliseconds in computer time is an hour in human time," he added.

The route for the new cable was chosen to be as straight as possible, reducing the time to get information from one end to the other to 65 milliseconds.

The data transfer capacity of 40 Gbps is the equivalent of downloading a high-resolution DVD in about two seconds.

The new facility adds to a web of undersea cables in the waters around Japan.

These include ones run by Australian operator Telstra International; Taiwan's largest phone operator Chunghwa Telecom; and the global telecommunications service provider Pacnet, based in Singapore and Hong Kong.

Many were damaged by a powerful earthquake near Japan's northeast coast in March 2011.

The problems helped influence where the new cable was laid, said Japan's biggest telecommunications provider.

"We avoided the area around Taiwan, where earthquakes are common, and laid the route near the Philippines instead, making the cable very safe and reliable," Hiroyuki Matsumoto, senior director of network services at NTT, one of the four partners involved in the project said.

Microsoft New Logo

   Microsoft launches new logo after 25 years

Microsoft will use a new logo for the first time in over two and a half decades. The software titan has created a new logo which has been heavily inspired by the emblem of Windows operating system. This change in the logo also shows the company's focus on the tile-centric Metro interface, which it uses in the Windows Phone platform, XBOX 360 and the upcomingWindows 8 and Office suite.

On the Microsoft Blog on TechNet, Jeff Hansen, the general manager of brand strategy at the company, said that this step will ensure that a consistent user experience can be delivered across all platforms, from PCs and phones to tablets and television.

Rather than the previous emblem, which only had the name of the company, this new logo has 'Microsoft' written in Segoe font on the right and square with four tiles, reminiscent of the Metro UI, on the left.

The new Microsoft logo is already on the company website and in retail stores in Boston, Seattle and Bellevue. It will be seen heavily in advertisements as well as intra-organisation communications.

Wi-Fi Alliance starts certifying tunnel technology for better wireless performance

Tunneled Direct Link Setup can improve performance for applications such as media streaming.

The Wi-Fi Alliance has launched a program to certify products that support TDLS (Tunneled Direct Link Setup), a technology that allows devices to automatically create a link between each other after accessing a wireless network, removing the need to transmit data through the access point, and avoiding delays caused by congestion, the organization said on Thursday.

The new TDLS certification program can improve performance for applications such as media streaming, without requiring user intervention, according to Wi-Fi Alliance.

A direct link between wireless devices may sound reminiscent of the functionality offered by Wi-Fi Direct.

But the two technologies are complimentary, according to Wi-Fi Alliance. TDLS operates in the background of a Wi-Fi network to optimize performance, while Wi-Fi Direct devices can connect to one another while on the go, even when there is no wireless network available. Also, TDLS can operate within a Wi-Fi Direct network.

Many products will be certified for both TDLS and Wi-Fi Direct, but the two technologies will be used in different situations, Wi-Fi Alliance expects.

The certification program is available for TVs, smartphones, tablets, cameras, printers, PCs, projectors, and gaming devices. It won't be necessary to buy a new access point or wireless router for TDLS to work.

TDLS is based on the IEEE 802.11z standard, and the automatic link configuration is done in a couple of steps. The discovery process begins when one device sends a discovery request to another device, via the network they are connected to. If the target device is also TDLS compliant, then it sends a response directly to the initiator, providing information on its capabilities, including supported rates and channels.

The communication between the two devices -- for example, a TV and a tablet -- can also measure the relative signal strengths of the access point and the TDLS device and decide whether a direct link would be beneficial or not.

Besides streaming video and audio, TDLS can also be used to improve the performance of wireless data back-up, printing and file transfers.

Certified products can operate over a 802.11n network, as well as previous wireless standards.

The Wi-Fi standard used to communicate is the fastest available on both products, even if the network's access point only supports a lower-bandwidth version of Wi-Fi. The same goes for security; the most secure option is chosen irrespective of what the network is capable of.

TDLS also has integrated power saving mechanisms to improve performance on battery-operated devices such as smartphones and tablets.

The first products to be approved are part of a test suite which includes wireless chipsets from Broadcom, Marvell, Ralink and Realtek.

FLEXIBLE OLED FUTURES OF SCREEN

OLED:organic light-emitting diode

emissive electroluminescent layer is a film of organic compound which emits light in response to an electric current

There are two main families of OLEDs

• based on small molecules
• based on   polymers

TYPES OF SCREEN TECHNOLOGY USED

1. LED :LIGHT EMITTING DIODE 
2. PMOLED : PASSIVE MATRIX ORGANIC LIGHT EMITING DIODE
3. AMOLED :  ACTIVE MATRIX ORGANIC LIGHT EMITING DIODE

METRIAL USED IN LEDs TECHNOLOGY

1. POLYMER LIGHT EMITING DIODE
2. PHOSPHORECENT LIGHT EMMITING DIODE

Working principle

A typical OLED is composed of a layer of organic materials situated between two electrodes, the anode and cathode, all deposited on a substrate. The organic molecules are electrically conductive as a result of delocalization of pi electrons caused by conjugation over all or part of the molecule. These materials have conductivity levels ranging from insulators to conductors, and therefore are considered organic semiconductors. The highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (HOMO and LUMO) of organic semiconductors are analogous to the valence and conductionbands of inorganic semiconductors.
Originally, the most basic polymer OLEDs consisted of a single organic layer. One example was the first light-emitting device synthesised by J. H. Burroughes et al., which involved a single layer of poly(p-phenylene vinylene). However multilayer OLEDs can be fabricated with two or more layers in order to improve device efficiency. As well as conductive properties, different materials may be chosen to aid charge injection at electrodes by providing a more gradual electronic profile, or block a charge from reaching the opposite electrode and being wasted. Many modern OLEDs incorporate a simple bilayer structure, consisting of a conductive layer and an emissive layer. More recent developments in OLED architecture improves quantum efficiency (up to 19%) by using a graded heterojunction. In the graded heterojunction architecture, the composition of hole and electron-transport materials varies continuously within the emissive layer with a dopant emitter. The graded heterojunction architecture combines the benefits of both conventional architectures by improving charge injection while simultaneously balancing charge transport within the emissive region

ADVANTAGES

1. LOW RUNNING COST IN FUTURE
2. LIGHT WEIGHT
3. FLEXIBLE GLASSY SUBSTANCE
4. IMPROVED BRIGHTNESS
5. WIDER ANGLE VIEW
6. BETTER POWER EFFICIENCY
7. QUICK RESPONSE TIME
