China officials have shut down Black Hawk Safety Net, the country's biggest hacker training Website, and arrested three people for making hacker tools available online.
China announced it has arrested three people in connection with operating a hacker training school that distributed malware and hacking tools to its members in online forums.
According to Xinhua, "China ’s state-run newspaper, three people were arrested in connection with making the tools available online through a business known as Black Hawk Safety Net. Established in 2005, Black Hawk Safety Net is reportedly headquartered in Xuchang of the central"Province and has more than 180,000 members. Police reportedly uncovered the operation as part of an investigation into a cyber-attack in"Macheng" City in 2007.
The three suspects arrested in the case are charged with offering online hacker tools, a crime newly listed in the country's criminal law last year, the paper reported.
The announcement about the arrests came as "China and the "United States grapple over cyber-security issues. "China has been at the center of accusations involving a spate of cyber-attacks last year that affected more than 30 companies, including Google, which claimed an attack on its infrastructure originated in China. Google threatened to pull out of the country in response to the situation, as well as to concerns about censorship and what it deemed were attempts to spy on the e-mail of Chinese human rights activists.
The Chinese government has sought to discredit those claims, and has publicly denied anyinvolvement in the attacks. Meanwhile, the U.S. State Department has said it will press the Chinese government for answers, and the Senate passed a resolution Feb. 3calling on the Chinese government to conduct a thorough and transparent review of the cyber-attacks.
China says hackers caused 7.6 billion yuan ($1.02 billion) in losses in the country in 2009. (source: eWeek.com)
Linus Torvald si Pencipta Sustem Operasi LINUX merasakan bahwa HP Google Nexus One merupakan HP yang ideal bagi pengguna canggih, sebab berbagai fungsi dan kemudahan pengoperasiannya telah terpasang didalamnya, berkat Sistem Operasi Android yang berbasiskan LINUX. Yang paling menarik dari Nexus One ini adalah fitur Navigasi Google Map yang menggunakan fitur turn-by-turn GPS yang memudahkan penentuan lokasi pengguna.
Berikut ini adalah rinciannya:
Linus Torvalds, the man who created the Linux operating system on which Android is based, said he likes using the Google Nexus One smartphone for its Google Maps Navigation turn-by-turn GPS software. Torvalds said he "generally hates phones because they are irritating and disturb you as you work or read or whatever," but is intrigued by Linux-based phones. The Google navigation Torvalds enjoys is the Google Maps Navigation turn-by-turn GPS feature so many users have found useful since it launched on the Motorola Droid in November.
The Google Nexus One smartphone, based on Google's Android operating system, is getting fans in high-profile tech places even as it battles a reputation for poor 3G service.
Linus Torvalds, the man who created the Linux operating system on which Android is based, purchased a Nexus One and spoke favorably about it in a blog post Feb. 6.
Google launched the Nexus One from its Webstore Jan. 5, offering it for $529 unlocked or $179 with a two-year contract from T-Mobile. When users have 3G service, they generally report great things about the Nexus One, based on the latest Android 2.1 OS and which runs a 1GHz Snapdragon processor from Qualcomm.
Torvalds said he "generally hates phones because they are irritating and disturb you as you work or read or whatever," but is intrigued by Linux-based phones, such as the Nexus One:
"I have to admit, the Nexus One is a winner. I wasn't enthusiastic about buying a phone on the Internet sight unseen, but the day it was reported that it finally had the pinch-to-zoom thing enabled, I decided to take the plunge. I've wanted to have a GPS unit for my car anyway, and I thought that Google navigation might finally make a phone useful.
"And it does. What a difference! I no longer feel like I'm dragging a phone with me 'just in case' I would need to get in touch with somebody—now I'm having a useful (and admittedly pretty good-looking) gadget instead ..."
The Google navigation Torvalds enjoys is the Google Maps Navigation turn-by-turn GPS feature so many users have found useful since it launched on the Motorola Droid in November. That's the type of perk Google hopes will help differentiate Android from Apple's iPhone and other platforms. Nokia latercountered with it own free GPS tool.
Torvalds said he received the original G1 Android phone when Google and T-Mobile launched it in 2008 but used it mostly for playing games such as Galaga and Solitaire on long flights.
Torvalds isn't the only high-tech luminary to become enamored of the device. Publisher Tim O'Reilly, whose Web 2.0 Summit is the hottest high-tech show that isn't the Consumer Electronics Show,enjoys many of the features.
But the Nexus One has its issues, particularly with regard to spotty or absent 3G service.
Some of this is attributed to T-Mobile, whose wireless network ranks fourth in the United States behind Verizon Wireless, AT&T and Sprint, and some of this is due to a software flaw Google moved to fix Feb. 2.
Mobile device expert Kevin Tofel, who blogged about a possible 3G remedy Jan. 19, said Feb. 6 that he is still having major 3G service issues.
Siapakah dimasa kini yang punya waktu luang yang sangat sempit? Mungkin para pensiunan dan para asyakar yang tak berguna saja yang sehari-harinya antar jemput istri dan para cucu saja. Selebihnya adalah manusia-manusia yang serba sibuk untuk dapat sejenak membaca sebuah buku. Melihat peluang bisnis ini, maka sebuah Penerbit FT Press, anak perusahaan Pearson, menerbitkan eBook yang dinamakan Elements dan Shorts, yang merupakan ringkasan buku-buku yang tebal, dengan harga dibawah US2.99 yang dapat dibaca melalui perangkat Kindle dan dapat di-download dari toko buku online seperti Amazon.com dan Barnes & Noble. Elements dijual seharga US$1.99 yang berisikan ringkasan buku 1.000 sampai 2.000 kata dari buku-buku yang telah diterbitkan, sedangkan Shorts djual seharga US$2.99 berisikan ringkasan sebanyak 5.000 kata. Berikut ini adalah berita lengkapnya: Who has time to read a whole book anymore? The FT Press, a unit of Pearson, has introduced two series of short, digital-only titles for professionals who want quick snippets of advice for $2.99 or less. The publisher, through a new imprint named FT Press Delivers, has quietly begun selling what it is calling Elements and Shorts through the Kindle electronic bookstore onAmazon.com and Barnes & Noble’s e-bookstore. The Elements, which the publisher has priced at $1.99, are stripped-down, 1,000- to 2,000-word versions of already-published books, while the Shorts are newly written essays of about 5,000 words, priced at $2.99. Titles include “Reengineering the Rules of Management,” by James Champy, the co-author, with Michael Hammer, of “Reengineering the Corporation,” one of the biggest business best sellers of the 1990s, and “Keeping It Honest, From Kitchen to Coca-Cola,” by Seth Goldman, co-founder and chief of Honest Tea, the maker of organic drinks. Amazon.com is already discounting the prices of the Shorts to $2.39 and the Elements to $1.59. So far, Barnes & Noble has kept the publisher’s pricing. “It’s a good idea to be able to provide people with shorter, more expedient, more time-sensitive” content, said Timothy C. Moore, publisher of the FT Press. Mr. Moore said the company had already published 242 titles and planned to have 500 by the end of the year. For the Shorts, the company is working with New Word City, a digital publisher. Mr. Moore acknowledged that sales of the new short-form titles could cannibalize traditional book sales. But, he said, “other sources of information that aren’t books are already causing upheaval” in the book market. Mr. Champy, a consultant, said demand for longer books had fallen. “There are people who only want to access pieces of what you write,” he said. “I don’t think they have an appetite for reading a long, serious business book.” According to Mr. Goldman, FT Press is not paying advances to authors and is offering royalties equivalent to 20 percent of the publisher’s net proceeds from each sale. Mr. Moore declined to comment, saying that such details were proprietary. Mr. Goldman said he hoped the new mini e-books were priced cheaply enough to lure readers. “There is size and substance to it, but it’s not a full meal,” Mr. Goldman said. “It’s a healthy lunch on the go as opposed to the seven-course meal.” MOTOKO RICH (NYT)
Regulator Telekomunikasi Inggris, Ofcom merencanakan untuk memperluas jangkauan jaringan 3G dengan menaikkan daya pancar BTS-nya 4x lipat atau menjadi 68 dBm dari sebelumnya yang sebesar 62 dBm. Dampak dari kenaikan daya pancar ini adalah akan menimbulkan gangguan penerimaan pada perangkat-perangkat yang menggunakan frekwensi yang sama atau sangat berdekatan, seperti perangkan Wireles Camera, atau penerima satelit, dan juga kemungkinan kerusakan beberapa sel otak. Namun Ofcom akan menetapkan kebijakan baru ini, walaupun akan memberikan dampak gangguan perangkat lainnya, karena penggunaan Wireless Camera ini masih terbatas di Inggris. Alasan lain dari Regulator Inggris ini adalah contoh regulasi di Finland, Swedia, Jerman dan Prancis yang tidak menetapkan batas atas daya pancar BTS, namun ternyata tidak ada masalah yang penting. Bagaimanakah bila daya pancar BTS di Indonesia juga dinaikkan. Tentu akan banyak masyarakat dan operator yang mendapat keuntungan, yaitu muta layanan 3G yang lebih baik di mata pelanggan, dan keuntungan yang meningkan yang akan dinikmati oleg para Operator. Berikut rincian beritanya: Ofcom is considering allowing UK's mobile operators to quadruple the power of their 3G transmissions, to improve coverage and maybe roast a few more brain cells. The request came from Vodafone, but when Ofcom consulted the other operators they all wanted in, so now the regulator has published a consultation (pdf) with plans to increase the permitted broadcast power almost four times (from 62 to 68 on the logarithmic dBm scale). That's more than Vodafone, or anyone else, has asked for - existing kit can only kick out around 65dBm. But Ofcom doesn't want to be back here in a year when new kit comes out, so proposes setting the level higher. The regulator also notes that in some countries; notably Finland, Sweden, Germany and France, there are no limits at all, yet everyone seems to survive OK. The main problem with upping the power is interfering with the neighbours, as some signal bleeding is inevitable. For 3G this means wireless cameras used by the Program Making & Special Events (PMSE) crowd on one side, and the Complementary Ground Component needed for satellite broadcast of mobile TV services on the other. Given that there aren't any mobile satellite TV services yet, Ofcom deals with that by agreeing that, should anyone decide to build a mobile satellite broadcasting network, they too will be allowed to broadcast at 68dBm. The PMSE crowd are used to getting a kicking from Ofcom, and this time the regulator reckons wireless cameras already suffer so much interference from 3G that this won't make much of a difference - noting that professionals already have to avoid specific bands when near a base station, so they'll just have to do the same from a little further away once the increased power is permitted. Ofcom points out that technology has improved since the 3G licences were flogged off, enabling higher-power transmission without greater interference leaking into neighbouring bands. Indeed, the regulator makes the point that limits on out-of-band signals aren't being changed, and increasing the power will certainly enhance in-building penetration. The decision hasn't yet been made though, and Ofcom is inviting responses, from "stakeholders", until the 19th of March. (sumber: The Register, UK)
