File Extensions Issues

Due Credit:
Having trouble with different types of file extensionsis not uncommon for computer users. You might have come across a situation where you knew there was a software in your system that could open a particular file extension, but the system still showed a message stating that the file could not be opened. This problem occurs probably because the computer lost the information that tells which program should be used to open that particular file.

If you are knowledgeable about the source where you can get some quick solution, then you are lucky. You can also seek online help to try and eliminate such problems. In most such cases it is the registry files which get corrupted that result in an inability to open a particular file extension. It is preferred that you run a registry fix, in order to remove any trouble due to a corrupted registry file. There are several file extensions like pvm, tmp, swf, qif, bak, etc., which a naive user may not even know about. A registry fix can repair problems that even these mysterious file types can be opened.

The new Songsmith from Microsoft

Due Credit: Microsoft

Microsoft's songsmith is definitely going to make a new break in music history. The software allows you to sing a song that you can record and get an appropriate musical accompaniment. It is as simple as singing into the microphone after choosing a type of music from a list of thirty different styles. Hit the record button and then stop when you have finished. The software produces a wonderful musical score for your song. It is clear that Microsoft has dug deep into artificial intelligence concepts to develop the tool.


It is a tool anyone can use and it is surely not a software for the musicians alone. Whether you know something about music theory or not, you can play your tunes with it - you can modify the way your song's music must be using the controls available and compose your own best song. For the experts, it is another tool with which you can get ideas that you might have not explored. It is a good musical assistant. Microsoft has partnered with top instrument makers like Garritan to develop the tool. It provides a free trial version of songsmith that you can use for six hours, not just six hours after download, but six hours of usage time. So, if you know something about guitars or drums you can also change the instruments as you like and try out different styles. More help is available at the Microsoft website and you can train yourself in using songsmith through the tutorials available. With the new songsmith in market, you can expect Mozarts emerge from every street of your city.

Configuring a Solaris Zone

Due Credit:
Configuration:
To configure a Solaris zone, we need to know the following networking parameters:
a. An IP address
b. The name of the network interface
c. You should also confirm that the file system.

Zonecfg command
Used to configure the zone.
This command also used to verify that resource and properties that are specified during configuration.
It checks that a zone path has been specified.

Configuring and defining a new zone:
1. Verify that whether that zone is already exists or not global
# zonecfg testzone
Then it will enter into zonecfg shell prompt like
zonecfg:emailzone

2. Create a new zone definition with the create command
zonecfg:email-zone> create

3. Assign the zone to a file system
zonecfg:email-zone> set zonepath=/export/home/zones/t estzone

4. Decide if the zone should boot automatically at system boot time
zonecfg:my-zone> set autoboot=true

5. To create a filesystem
zonecfg:testzone> add fs
zonecfg:testzone:fs>set dir=/data
zonecfg:testzone:fs>set special=/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0
zonecfg:testzone:fs>set raw=/dev/rdsk/cot1d0s0
zonecfg:testzone:fs>set type=ufs
zonecfg:testzone:fs>end

6. (Sparse Root Zone Only) Add a shared file system that is loopback-mounted from the global zone.
Do not perform this step to create a whole root zone, which does not have any shared file systems
zonecfg:my-zone> add inherit-pkg-dir
zonecfg:testzone:inherit-pkg- dir>set dir=/opt/sfw
zonecfg:testzone:inherit-pkg- dir>end

7. Configure networking parameters, using the addnet command and its sub commands.
zonecfg:testzone:>add net
zonecfg:testzone:net> set address=192.1.1.1
zonecfg:testzone:net> set physical=hme0
zonecfg:testzone:net>end

8. Assign the zone to the email pool
zonecfg:testzone>set pool=email-pool

9. Verify the configuration is syntactically correct
zonecfg:testzone>verify
This will return a message only if any errors in the configuration were found.

10. Save the configuration and exit
zonecgf:email-zone> commit
zonecfg:email-zone> exit

A standard zone automatically shares the /usr, /lib, /platform, and /sbin file systems with global zone.
Standard zone configuration mounts all global file systems as read-only
So if u trying to install an application to any of these directories will fail. So we have to mount a global zone file system with write permissions.

In the global zone, create the directory to be exported to the zone, using the mkdir(1) command.
global# mkdir -p /export/home/zones/testzone/l ocal
Set the permissions such that only root in the global zone can enter this directory, using the chmod(1) command.
global# chmod 700 /export/home/zones/testzone

Social net means more information with less effort

Due Credit: DailyBits
Social networks have today made the job of social engineering all that more easier. Social engineering is the process by which individuals gather information on other individuals so as to use the data to try to crack into personal and private accounts.
It is common knowledge that information pertaining to DOB, school etc gets into people's passwords ( how are you expected to remember it otherwise). This information is also available on people's public profiles and now there are all too many of them spread across various networks and also searchable via the web.
Hence, from the security perspective it makes sense to refrain from publishing information that may perhaps be food for thought in terms of social engineering

YouTube and Picasa on your television

Due Credit: DailyBits
Google and Matsushita are working in collaboration to bring the popular services on the web to television. Soon you will be having access to videos from YouTube and images from Picasa accessible on you TV.
Convergence of media from the web with popular devices has been long predicted. But the importance here is for quality. The videos on YouTube are generally of poor quality and beaming them on high definition TVs does not really improve matters a lot.
But the fact is that poor videos are due to bandwidth issues and that is scaling up so in course of time these issues will sort out and lets not forget that the TV audience is another big pool of viewers to sell ads to
