"SSL VPN - Understanding, evaluating and planning secure, web-based remote access" - the only thing wordy about this book is its title. The rest of the book delivers information clearly and concisely through text, diagrams and examples. "Hacker Bob" animates key passages to keep things from getting dry.

As expected, the audience for this book is techies. Basic network concepts are explained, so anyone with a technical background will understand. Any network fundamentals quickly lead to SSL VPN applications.

The authors are good about explaining "why" and providing the pros/cons of a decision. Key criteria are also provided for both technical and business decisions. I found one of the most valuable parts to be about bad architectures. The authors illustrate several common architectures and point out weaknesses. The focus on diagrams and flow was quite useful.

A quick Google search will produce countless articles trying to understand the popularity of ‘ringtones’; hundreds of bloggers waxing lyrical on the benefits of personalising their cell phones. Interviews with ?experts? profering sexy theories about ringtones and identity construction lend an academic seriousness to the Crazy Frog phenomena. The figures are pretty serious too, in the U.S.A. alone, the Yankee Group predicts, ringtones will be worth $500 million. That?s roughly the GDP of Fiji. Obviously our cell phones needs a voice, but does that voice need to be a polyphonic adaptation of ‘Living on a Prayer’?

The latest figures indicate that young people are the greatest consumers of mobile music. According to one UK survey, 15-24 year olds account for 80% of ringtone spending. Studies by Nick Anderson of Sussex University show that young people are far more aware of the brand personalty (the particular identity affiliated with certain brands) than older generations. Anderson suggests that teenagers can deduce a person’s character, likes and dislikes, by their branded possessions. Considering the amount of branding in the music industry, it’s not unreasonable to say that popular musicians have their own ?brand personality?. So, your 50 Cent ringtone, for example, communicates not only a your taste in music, but also your compliance to the whole ?Fiddy? meme. Ultimately, for brand savvy youth, this says something about your personality, which, you hope, everybody within earshot understands.

If a cell phone rings but nobody is around to hear it, are you still down with 50 Cent? Ringtones are about personalization, and about public performance. The publicness of the ringtone is an integral part of its appeal. It’s unlikely that anyone would have a ringtone on their landline. In a noisy urban soundscape like the city, silence is an anomaly. Personalised ringtones are simply another irritating sound in the hullabaloo. Most of us manage tune out the sounds imposed on us: muzak, hawkers, traffic, The O’Reily Factor, so why try and impose yet another squawk? Perhaps the ringtone is the audio equivalent of territorial pissing; thirty seconds in which YOU pick the soundtrack. For a few moments when your cell phone rings the 50 Cent meme is the most powerful in the sonic environment. Where ?Fiddy? is relatively redundant as a social force, certain ringtones allow citizens to demonstrate their dissatisfaction or support of a cause. Independent radio station WFMU have created a variety of anti- George W. Bush ringtones available for download, while engadget.com allows users to choose their preferred presidential candidate ringtone. Condemning other commuters to several cycles of 50 Cent, the theme from ‘Star Wars’ or a Dubya quote demonstrates your individual tastes and allows others distinguish you as either nemesis or brethren.

In our efforts to relieve poverty, impede environmental disaster or cure the global AIDs epidemic, ringtones are totally and utterly useless. When it comes to enforcing the myth that every individual is special, the artificial uniqueness of a personalized ringtone is just the ticket. Paradoxically, this demonstration of individualism is only really effective in a crowd. As far as this writer’s concerned the real purpose of ringtones lies in their ridiculousness. A recent gathering of sensible adults turned to hilarity thanks to an improvised game of Name that tune. Using Foovely’s ringtone preview function, those gathered took turns choosing snippets of songs for the party to guess. Recognising a song in 30 seconds is so much harder in monophone!

Emily Sims is the opinionated word person at http://www.foovely.com/. When she is not engaged in the analysis of ringtone culture she is usually doing something else. Emily currently resides in Melbourne, Australia. It’s a nice city, though not quite as nice as Vancouver. While she dislikes his music, Emily thinks 50 Cent A.K.A Fiddy will probably get rich or die trying. Pity.

Very easy to setup. Not a entrprise class vpn solution but works great for a small office.

Review date : 2007-07-12
Since they first came out, I have set up several of these for customers. This one happened to be for my office. Once set up, they are great. The biggest problem is the tech support people. Slow to respond, foreign accent, and bad attitudes. Figure on 4 to 6 hours between hold time and the time necessary to work through any issues with the tech support people. The documentation is useless. I have never been able to get some of the features to work such as remotely running Word or Excel. I might be able to figure it out if I had the time, but I really don’t.

They have also been somewhat unreliable. I suggest that you immediately register the product before installing it. Then when you do have to call tech support to set it up, it will be somewhat easier. When you register you are offered an extended service plan. BUY IT! If your device fails, you get overnight delivery of a replacement. It also provides access to better tech support, and you get tech support for several years instead of 90 days.

This is a good product and works as advertised - with one small flaw. If you’re an Apple Mac user, you’ll only be able to use it if you’re running a PowerPC Mac. Due to a compilation problem in the VPN client Java library by Netgear, the SSL VPN client will not run on an Intel based Mac (even through Rosetta).

If you’re planning to use this with an Intel Mac - wait for a firmware upgrade from Netgear otherwise you’ll just be staring at a useless blue box with a flashing green light!

All across the globe people are opting for technology that they could take along with them anywhere and everywhere. The trend even suggests that the more compact a device is, the better. Take a look at laptops and cellular phones, for example. Is it just me or are they getting smaller and smaller each time? Nowadays, some people even find laptops to be too bulky for their liking. As a new and improved take on the floppy disc, the USB flash drive was developed. For those of you who don’t know what a USB Flash Drive is yet, it is commonly defined as a compact and portable hard drive that is convenient and universal. They can easily be kept in your pocket and even directly worn on your body for ultimate storage. I am no expert, but it seems to me that it is fast becoming a digital necessity of our age.

The most compact USB Flash Drive I’ve encountered is the Sony Micro Vault Tiny 1GB. It’s actually the same size, or maybe even slightly bigger than a USB port connector. I can’t see how portable USB drives can get any smaller than this. The only way these little buggers can be smaller is if a port connector has a micro chip for its head, but that will be the day. Sony has, once again, proved how great things can come in small packages. The Sony Micro Vault Tiny 2.0 device is also available in other storage capabilities depicted by a variety of colors, ranging from as high as 2GB that can save up to 5 hours of video and around 500 songs in MP3 format, and as low as 256MB. But I suggest you keep it somewhere you won’t easily forget because small items tend to get lost easily. You can get your very own Sony Micro Vault Tiny at www.superwarehouse.com and get it at a special discounted price of only $59.99.

When considering to purchase a USB Flash Drive, you would need to check its specs and compare it with what you are actually looking for in a data storage device. There are countless of brands and capacities to choose from and it can get quite intimidating at times. I personally believe that the existing Lexar line of current flash drives is exceptionally noteworthy. Despite the recent recall done to one of its products, Lexar remains reliable in providing its customers high quality and top performance. In terms of speed, the Lexar JumpDrive Lightning 1GB is at the top of the list. Its chrome cover and body makes it look sleek and sophisticated. I just bought one for my best friend recently and he told me he was quite satisfied with the product. It has 22MB per second read and 15MB per second write capabilities, which I think isn’t too shabby for such a small thing. It can also protect date and keep files in sync with its innate software. It retails for as much as $79.99 but over at www.compuplus.com, it only costs $47.50.

There are quite a lot of USB Flash Drives out there having unlikely shapes and characteristics. Multi-functional flash drives seem to get the most attention because they don’t only serve as portable memory storage devices, they also come in a variety of hybrid features. Examples of flash drives that combine data storage with functionality are mp3 players, digital cameras, key chains, writing pens, and other company promotional items. I even saw a couple that could be worn as earrings! A hot new item in Flash Drive wearables is the Imation Flash Wristband 256MB. Only released early this year, this stylish and durable flash drive combines portable memory storage that could also be worn as a wristband. Homework, reports, pictures, music, and other data are protected due to its flexible rubber material. It is carefully designed to fit your wrist conveniently and doubles as hard drive with one swift unplugging motion. For an unbelievably low price of $19.09, you can order it online through Colamco, Inc.

Start synching those laptops and desktops with the variety of USB Flash Drives available in the market today. It’s time to get rid of those floppy discs and trade them all in for a smaller, more efficient solution to data storage.

COM is an acronym for Component Object Model. This is a software architecture developed by Microsoft Corporation and is used to define a certain structure used to build program routines, known as ?objects? that can be called up for execution in a windows based environment. COM was first built into Windows 95 and Windows NT.4.0. Many parts of Windows operating system and some applications developed by Microsoft?s developers have built in COM objects. Com Objects are stored in the registry of a system and are one of the things that need to be cleaned with registry cleaner.

So What Exactly Does COM Do?

Com is that part of a program that provides an interface between objects. A counterpart DCOM or Distributed COM allows the objects to run remotely. COM is implemented in different ways. Objects can be large small or medium and are written in different programming languages to perform any kind of processing of a file or code. Programs call on objects whenever the program needs the services of the object and the Common Object Model acts as the interface between the program and the object. COM will link common objects to different programs that need them. That is why even though the program may be uninstalled the common object will not be removed. This fills up the registry and slows down a PC. A computer registry cleaner will remove all unwanted entries from a registry and speed up the system.

COM and ActiveX

ActiveX controls can call up COM objects called ?controls?. These ?controls? just blend into the program and become part of the program when called up by COM. OLE also uses COM services in the windows environment. Standard applications, such as word processors and spreadsheets, can be written to expose their internal functions as COM objects, allowing them to be automated instead of manually selected from a menu. Microsoft’s OLE compound documents are based on COM, which lets one document be embedded within or linked to another (see OLE). ActiveX Documents are extensions to OLE that allow a Web browser, for example, to view not only Web pages, but any kind of document.

Microsoft Corporation is increasingly making its standard programming interfaces conform to the COM object model so that there is continuity between all interfaces in the Windows working environment. In the beginning Microsoft Corporation decided to use the term ?OLE? to refer to its COM-based architecture, then later decided to drop that designation in favor of ActiveX. Now since both OLE and ActiveX are based on COM, the term COM is also used. As a result, any combination of the words COM, OLE and ActiveX followed by the words control, object and component may mean the same thing, or they may not, depending on the context they are referred to.

So in the end we are given to understand that Common Object Model is ActiveX and vice versa in relation to the environment they are working in. All this automatic activity only feeds the registry with information it may not have to retain. But there is no way to rid the registry of this data except with the help of a windows registry cleaner. A PC registry cleaner will remover from the registry all unwanted information thus making the system more efficient.

Hello, I am not happy at all with this product, with Amazon, or the seller. As I purchased this item to setup my wireless internet at home. It sat in the box for 40 days as it took that long for my wireless company to get my satelite to me and setup. Then on the day to set it up I’m told by the Tech that this item is not compatible and I could not use it. When I asked the seller to refund my monie - they indicated it was over 30 days and they could not, nor would Amazon help me….so I am very unhappy as I am a long time customer that has spent my fair share of monies on Amazon and the first time I need help everyone jumps ship…so I rate this over all experience very poor, with poor customer service….and just over all BAD. Thanks but no thanks.

Bought this to add to my wireless-wired home network. I have used a Netgear FWAG114 along with a Netgear WG302 access point, and several D-Link gaming adapters to connect 7 computers running a variety of systems along with a Slingbox and 2 laptops. Sytems include Vista, XP Pro, Win2000, Win2000 Server and Suse 10.2 (linux). I like the Netgear Pro series as they seem to be more robust and are fairly easy to configure and handle security really well.

Connected the FVW318, logged in and set up the WPA security, set my rules for VNC (Windows and one for Linux), HTML, FTP, Slingbox and opened the ports. Set security for the highest level of WPA I could. I can have as many as 15 different wireless systems in my neighborhood broadcasting at any given moment so security and ability to connect to my wireless is very important to me.

I replaced the FWAG114 with the FVG318 and after configuring it, it connected immediately. My WG302 is on the lower floor and is connect by POE. Once I booted both up the connection has been flawless for the last 48 hours. I am on Comcast and my connection is at a blazing 19,880 kbs (2485 KB/sec) down and 2485 kbs (196.9 KB/sec) up.

I have read many reviews that rate this router as bad. User became easily frustrated with all the dropped connections and poor performance. But I have found that configuring it right the first time is the most important step in getting it to work.

Configuration was easy and straight forward. Of, course, you must know how to configure your rules and set the ports. Some probably buy this router thinking it is plug and play and it is not. First thing I did was download the current firmware from Netgear and install it before doing anything. Bugs are generally eliminated with upgrades.

I must be lucky with my Netgear products. I started years ago with the Netgear RT314 router and now use Netgear exclusively. I have family that come to visit in their motor homes and I assign them logons and they can connect wirelessly from around 75 feet away.

I give this router 5 stars as it has performed flawlessly so far. I run Rosetta@Home (shared computing helping to determine the 3-dimensional shapes of proteins in research that may ultimately lead to finding cures for some major human diseases) on all of my computers and a good connection 24/7 is of most importance to me, plus, I love wireless computing.

If you buy the FVG318 read the manual that is on the CD thoroughly before you start the configuration. I will post a follow up review after a month or so to let you know if I still really like my FVG318.

The information age has been revolutionized not just by the power of computers to process data, but also by the power of communication amongst computers. This communication is responsible for the proliferation of computer networks. Sharing of information, sharing of resources (both software and hardware) and sharing of processing load are some of the major objectives of a computer network. One of the recent trends in the computer and communication industries is wireless communication. A wireless network does not use cables, but instead uses radio waves. Such networks enhance the functionality of computing devices by freeing them from the location constraints of a wired network. Although wireless networking is of great use to the laptop users who move from one location to the other throughout the day, there are benefits for fixed users as well. Many schools and businesses have an architecture that is unsuited for a wired network. Wired networking is very cost effective in such environments.

Wireless networks can be broadly classified as fixed wireless systems and mobile wireless systems. A fixed wireless system supports a little or no mobility of the equipment related to the wireless network. For example, a local area network can be set up using wireless network to get rid of the hassles of laying cables. The mobile wireless systems support mobility of the equipment, enabling the user to access information from anywhere and at any time. The equipments used in the mobile wireless systems include personal digital assistants (PDAs), smart phones and pager with Internet access.

Wireless networks communicate by modulating radio waves or pulsing infrared light. A wireless networking router is linked to the wired network infrastructure by stationary transceivers. Wireless communication technologies used in wireless networks include analog cellular, digital cellular, Cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD), mobile radio networks, personal communication services (PCS), satellite, microwave systems and local multipoint distribution systems (LMDS). Although the data rates supported by analog cellular technology are low, it is the most popular methods for wireless data communications due to the wide availability of modems and analog cellular services. The commonly used wireless technologies include 2G and 3G technologies, wireless LANs, Wireless Local Loops (WLLs), radio-router technology, Multihop wireless network and Wireless Application Protocol (WAP).

eCommerce highlights for Microsoft Great Plains Dynamics GP eConnect with XML Web Services, Automatic posting, cross platform integrations with Oracle, IBM Lotus Notes Domino

Microsoft Great Plains should be considered as open platform for eCommerce web development, especially since such development tools as eConnect were introduced for .Net C# and VB web developers. However there are certain limitations in utilizing these new tools, especially when business processes requires full automation, including autoposting and automatic sales orders execution. In this small article lets take a look at the technology highlights and work around:

?eConnect. If you think that eConnect is panacea ? this is true with some limitations. You should understand that eConnect automates only subset of Microsoft Dynamics GP modules: SOP, POP, AR, AP, but at the same time other modules are outside of eConnect scope ? good example Invoicing module. Besides standard GP modules you as developer should be aware about third-party modules, such as Mekorma, Avalara, DynamicsZip, Horizon Manufacturing, etc. These modules are typically created with Microsoft Great Plains Dexterity and are also outside of the eConnect scope

?Posting Issue. eCommerce often requires automatic invoice posting, especially when customer pays online via credit card. eConnect allows you to create order or invoice and receive deposit against this order, but it doesn?t allow you to post the order ? this is reasonable restriction, because you as developer should create business logic for invoice posting and deploy Microsoft Great Plains posting logic, which might be very sensitive to your specific GP settings

?Cross-Platform. You have two options: resolve cross-platform data streams with XML inbound and outbound streams. In this case eConnect XML web services interface is the way to go, plus you should supplement eConnect with your own XML web services (having SQL heterogeneous stored procs behind) and the second way is deploying either linked server from MS SQL Server side and stored procedures or similar tools from Oracle to create ODBC JDBC connection
