SafenSoft SysWatch Personal - Free Microsoft Security Essentials Companion For Complete PC Security

While Microsoft Security Essentials does a fairly good job of protecting your computer from PC-threats, when accompanied with free proactive protection like SafenSoft SysWatch Personal the result is a fortified PC without the need of any paid security software.
SafenSoft SysWatch protection system preserves the integrity of your operating system with all its components and applications as installed at the original build. This protection system works by controlling how applications behave by keeping a record of your “known-good” computer state, preventing hacker attacks and malicious software from activating. Because SysWatch Personal does not need to identify individual threats in order to block them, it doesn’t need all those signature updates required by traditional security software to provide reliable protection. Featuring three core functionality of controlling the application launch process, application activity process and the self-protection system the addon offers fast and reliable protection even against unknown threats.

Unknown applications are launched and activated only in a secure sand-boxed environment mode and authorized users can use the "Install Mode" to permanently store the new unknown application and changes made by it. SafenSoft SysWatch also features the handy digital certificate trust module which automatically unblocks installation of known white-listed applications having a valid digital signature (this seems to be a paid upgrade/other SafenSoft product feature as the same is not visible in free version but was infact shown in demo video). Please do keep in mind that SafenSoft SysWatch Personal do not fight the consequences of infection, but prevents it from happening - hence the pro-active defense for your computer.

W3C Responds to New Copy Protection Proposal by Google, Microsoft & Netflix - Mozilla warns of a possible non-cooperation

It's sad. Google, Microsoft and Netflix has recently published its draft proposal of the Encrypted Media Extensions policy that aims to push DRM (Digital Rights Management) to web browsers. Although the proposal does not intend to forcibly implement the DRM platform, it's still a huge blow to parties that will be involved in the process. As expected, among those who responded to the draft posted on the W3C website is our good and faithful friend Mozilla. Mozilla was quick to question the proposed framework's capability to provide the much needed security demanded by content providers once it is implemented. Chris Pearce of Mozilla asked, "Can you highlight how robust content protection can be implemented in an open source web browser? How do you guard against an open source web browser simply being patched to write the frames/samples to disk to enable (presumably illegal) redistribution of the protected content?"

According to the authors David Dorwin (Google), Adrian Bateman (Microsoft) and Mark Watson (Netflix), their only aim is to provide essential components for a generic key-based content decryption system that is designed primarily to work with pluggable modules that will implement the decryption mechanisms. Furthermore, the Encrypted Media Extensions draft proposal emphasized the introduction of new API extensions for HTMLMediaElement, the interface that defines the specialized properties and JavaScript methods found in HTML audio/ video elements.
One of the authors, Netflix's Mark Watson, replied and said that strong copy protection cannot be implemented in an open-source web browser but is applicable if the mechanisms will be applied in hardware, which can be used by open source browsers. In Mark Watson's own words, he said, "There exist many devices with content protection mechanisms of various sorts baked into their firmware/hardware. Open source software could make use of such capabilities in just the same way as it makes use of other hardware capabilities. If my understanding is correct, it's not unknown for open source products to make use of or even ship with closed source components, such as drivers, for access to platform or device capabilities."
Obviously, Mozilla isn't happy about it. While the proposal could do better in addressing some issues with the mobile technology, particularly embedding devices, its effect on the desktop/ PC is uncertain. Mozilla's very own Robert O'Callahan warned the authors that the policy to influence DRM in browsers could lead into a catastrophic situation where in major browser vendors and content providers might be forced to execute a "suboptimal" solution that will be completely blinded from ramifications it will cause to other major stakeholders.

If the Encrypted Media Extensions draft will be implemented, there is definitely a huge risk for browser vendors to implement their own substandard solutions just to thrive. And that's a situation we do not want to be in. Although the plan is still in the draft stage, it now faces numerous criticisms and questioning. The authors will have to fight for it. Backing up Mozilla is Google's Ian Hickson, the editor of the WHATWG HTML. Hickson said, "I believe this proposal is unethical and that we should not pursue it. The proposal above does not provide robust content protection, so it would not address this use case even if it wasn't unethical."

Revolutionizing Web 2.0 Email Technology with Fluent

One look at Fluent’s interactive demo will make you look at email clients like Thunderbird and Outlook in disgust. Created by Australian developers Cameron Adams, Jochen Bekmann and Dhanji Prasanna, who just quit their lucrative jobs at Google after Google Wave was axed, Fluent aims to take off where Google Wave has left off. Fluent blends social networking, cloud folders, email accounts and personal diaries into one nifty package.
The response to the service when it was first released as a beta service was so overwhelming that the limited signups (around 500) were all filled up within minutes after launch. As we pen our thoughts about Fluent as of this moment, the app is still in the beta stages and the developers are still expecting the service to be launched somewhere around the end of the year. For now let's look at what the service has in store for us.
User Interface

The biggest thing that users will appreciate about the service is the user interface. Although webmail providers like Yahoo have tried their best to improve their user interface, none of the current email services can honestly compare to the great look and feel of Fluent’s interface. As soon as you open a mail, you can send a quick reply just like you would comment on Facebook.
Images and files sent to you can be easily viewed through the attachments tab or by directly clicking the file. You no longer need to download your attachments and then upload them to your Dropbox or other similar services manually. Literally, everything can be done through Fluent without the need to initiate downloads.
Searching for emails or attachments is also very easy. You can filter your search by a number of criteria like date, image, read or unread. Someone at Google must be kicking themselves for letting go of such talented minds, seriously.

Social Media Integration

We all know that the social media trend is taking over email technology. There are a growing number of people nowadays who prefer to send and receive their messages and files through Facebook’s messaging services simply because it is more convenient for them. People can also follow-up on important conversations without having to leave the platform. Fluent also has something similar or even better.
Users can view their email in a chronological order. You can choose a particular user and a specific timeframe to see the details of the conversations. What's even more promising is the fact that the search feature on Fluent is 20 % faster than Google’s search feature. There are also other features like the capability to view all your images one by one like a slideshow and more.
Cloud Services

Although everything related to cloud services hasn’t been finalized yet, Fluent promises other interesting features like document collaboration, file-sharing and integration with cloud services like Dropbox and Google Docs for premium users when the service launches soon. Unfortunately, the distinguished developers have not revealed much about Fluent’s details as of the moment. For a quick view of Fluent, check out this 98-second introduction video.
Final Verdict
The only word that we can describe Fluent right now is “promising”, since you have to remember that the service is still taking its baby footsteps and is handling very few users at the moment. Another thing to point out is the fact that the service is going to be rolled out into two types: a free service without the cloud integration, and a premium version with cloud integration. The free version will definitely have lots of features stripped away for sure, so you might have to shell out some cash to use the delicious premium features of Fluent.
If you are interested to take a look at the service, you can head over to http://fluent.io/ and try out the demo while signing up using your Gmail account for the service. Due to consistent demand, the website is not taking any more signups right now and you may have to wait for a long time to try out the service. Either way, Fluent looks very promising and ideal for today’s modern setting. We’re even expecting the app to revolutionize email technology in the next coming years.

MPAA & RIAA Says the internet is stealing billions of dollars worth of their property by sharing copies of files, here is how to pay them back with copies

The infographic "Piracy is not theft" does an excellent job of how a digital file-sharer evaluates the situation, but the anti-file-sharing organizations MPAA & RIAA sees it otherwise and are now claiming that internet is stealing billions of dollars worth of their property by sharing digital copies of files.
To answer them, and with some creative twist to the situation "Jake Gold" has started an campaign "Send Them Your Money" to send the RIAA/MPAA billions of dollars. Inspired by this incident :

Hundreds of years ago a Japanese judge (Ōoka Tadasuke) handled a lawsuit by a paranoid innkeeper who accused a poor student of literally stealing the fumes of his cooking by eating when the innkeeper was cooking to flavour his dull food. Although his colleagues advised Ōoka to throw the case out as ridiculous, he decided to hear the case. The judge resolved the matter by ordering the student to pass the money he had in one hand to his other and ruling that the price of the smell of food is the sound of money. -- Wikipedia

Jake found a solution :

Let's just pay them the money! They've made it very clear that they consider digital copies to be just as valuable as the original. That makes it a lot easier to pay them back in two ways: a. We can email them scanned images of dollar bills instead of bulky paper and b. We don't have to worry about the hassle of shipping huge quantities of cash.

Take a picture or scan an image of your money. Send digital copies to the MPAA & RIAA in whatever quantity you feel you can afford. Don't go overboard. If you can only afford 20 copies then that's good enough. If enough people contribute we should be able to fully satisify even their most outrageous demands.

OpenNIC - Secure, Democratic, Censor-Safe and Free DNS Server System

A Silent War

Nothing is more important than absolute freedom. You cannot simply fool more than a billion people in the world and forbid them from accessing the free web space. With growing online presence and the impact of the online-hosted content on masses, Government sources, particularly the U.S., have incessantly become increasingly conscious about monitoring what type of content should be made accessible to the public. As of this writing, the U.S. has already initiated a long-term war against free trade by seizing domains.
The government may be playing it smart, but the people have grown wiser. You will probably agree that the Internet is free and that it cannot be tamed by any remote force, much more an entity such as the government. As these megalomaniacs are taking their delight on banning and blocking sites based on their canonical yet preposterous policies, our fellow cronies are determined to preserve, if not to instate, a transparent and open web, much like what it was years ago.
A Hidden Arsenal - OpenNIC

Unfortunately, the government has already blocked different sites based on domain names and by thereby corrupting the local DNS servers. To counter this, an innovative solution has been taken into consideration. It’s called the OpenNIC. Unlike OpenDNS that relies on redirection, filtering and search engine surveillance, OpenNIC features the top new domains which are not governed by ICANN or the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers. With that being said, it’s safe to say that domains using OpenNIC cannot be interfered and stopped.
OpenNIC is all about freedom and sharing. OpenNIC is a 12-year old service used by a few number of elite people in the underground community. We’re talking about TiAMO (Pirate Bay dude) and NovaKing (EZTV dude). Essentially, it conducts democratic voting on new TLDs, Top Level Domains, as they are called, and it resolves all ICAAN approved TLDs. What that basically means is that with OpenNIC, you can visit your favorite sites even if a domain name has been blocked in your country. Now that sounds pretty cool does it?
The OpenNIC Advantage

OpenNIC uses servers from different countries and you can login using the server of a different country as well. Also, the logging policy is kept transparent, so you will exactly know what everyone’s doing. With OpenNIC, you will get your freedom back. Precisely speaking, you can access almost any website you want. Eminently, OpenNIC takes the control over from any federal or centralized government agency. Literally speaking, it makes the web invariably free.
Apart from the government, you will also be free from the intervention of your ISP. Often ISPs block certain websites or restrict their speeds for personal motives. With OpenNIC, you can now bid adieu to all those dependencies. OpenNIC respects the opinions of users across the whole community. So, you can have your say when deciding policies, new TLDs and other related stuff arises.
The Perfect Solution

Governments across the world have been collecting your Internet usage data and keeping track of which sites you log into. With OpenNIC, you choose the server you log onto and the country you want to log from. Besides, the logging information is transparent. New TLDs (.com, .org, etc.) have been conventionally maintained by top-level associations (ICANN) and no TLDs come into picture overnight. However, with OpenNIC, you can place a request for a new TLD and enjoy unrestricted access almost all TLDs on the planet.

Ultimately, as the whole hosting process is decentralized and is shared across a community, they cannot be seized or shutdown. The whole setup epicentres around the word “free”. So how can they charge you for this? Well, indeed it’s free and the servers are voluntarily hosted by democratically elected people. Unlike Google, there are no advertisements and no collection of user stats. You can cast your vote and in turn, take a first step in reinstating a freely accessible web. Visit : http://useopennic.org/ to start using the system and be a part of this new digital revolution.
