M1 KidSafe Service

Tommy Chieng — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 16:57:52 +0000

M1 has just launch a new service to enable parents to restrict in order to protect their children from speaking to strangers. Claimed to be first of its kind in the world, M1 KidSafe allows parents to regulate and monitor their child’s mobile communications. By creating a ’safe list’ of vetted family members and trusted friends, KidSAFE dramatically reduces the risk of strangers contacting your child. In addition, KidSAFE also limits potential spending by your child on non-essential voice, SMS and data usage.

Here are the key features:

Allows parents to program up to 40 phone numbers that their children can make and receive calls from
Allows parents to monitor unauthorised calls and SMS sent or received by listing the date and time of the 10 most recently blocked numbers.
Parents can also choose to be alerted via SMS when the KidSafe SIM card is taken out and used in another mobile phone
KidSAFE program and features can only be changed with a 6-digit PIN

Personally, I think that this service is a very good offering and would attract a group of parents to switch or apply to use this service. But on the other hand, it can be quite annoying to their kids. I would be annoyed if my parents subscribe that to monitor me! What do you think?

For more information, kindly visit M1’s website.

What is Canonical Tag? Google, Yahoo and Microsoft explain

Tommy Chieng — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 16:43:58 +0000

What exactly is the Canonical Tag? Well me explain.

Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft announced today a joint effort to help reduce duplicate content. Well, as you may already knew, duplicate contents has caused major headaches for search engines. These three major search engines came together, a rare get together, to allow users to point out their preferred version of a URL.

Here’s a senario. Websites containing a lot of content such as a retail site and blogging platform such as Wordpress, always creates with several URLs for each page. This makes it difficult for search engines to crawl. Well, many websites are penalized by the search engines from time to time for creating too many duplicate content.

Google gives the following example on the Webmaster Central blog:

All you need to do for any links in your new content that you are creating in the future, simply add this link tag in the head section of the duplicate content URLs.

The tag can only be used on pages within a single site. Both absolute and relative links are acceptable, but the search engines recommend absolute links. Also, links to all URLs will be directed to the one preferred url.

Still need more information to understand better? Each of the search engines have explanations and examples in their own announcements. Just go to Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft.

iPhone & iPod Touch Firmware 2.2.1 update

Tommy Chieng — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 04:41:02 +0000

Haven’t been using my iPod Touch for quite awhile. Just plugged it into my laptop and found out that Apple has just released a new firmware for iPhone & iPod Touch. This is the 2.2.1 firmware.

Well, according to sources and rumours, this latest firmware update was only meant to “improve general stability of Safari” and a fix for saved Mail images do not display correctly in the Camera Roll. However, there is still no copy and paste functionality. Steve Job must be too sick to instruct Apple’s developers to include that in! Because as far I know, copy and paste can be implemented on iPhone & iPod Touch but Apple wouldn’t allow it.

Another rumours which says that this update would include push notification, also being mentioned by Steve Job that it would be ready in September 2008. Well take a look at this video:

Steve Job said in an email “We’re running a bit late. We want to get it 100% right the first time.”

Well, for those iPhone user who had jailbroken or pawned theirs would have to put the update on hold. Please read this and this before you do your update.

Jolicloud the iPhone-like Next Generation Netbook Operating System

Tommy Chieng — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 15:03:23 +0000

Netbooks are selling like hotcakes nowadays. However, there’s one inovative person thought that the current OS for netbooks aren’t good enough. Reason? Netbook’s small keyboards, small screen and underpowered hardwares restricts the user experience of it.

Netvibes founder, Tariq Krim is building a new stack of software codenamed Jolicloud. Installation of Jolicloud into the netbooks will replace any operating system that is installed on the netbook with a stripped down Linux operating system and custom browser.

Interestingly, Jolicloud is an iPhone-like interface targeting to give users a better user experience. It has large icons and small hardware resource usage to maximize the potential of netbooks. Jolicloud will support touch screen too. Great stuff for easy navigation given netbooks small screens.

Take a look at the screenshot below:

Jolicloud also utilized Prism application as bookmark sites. Tariq also planning to have application platform for third party developers to build more custom applications for Jolicloud. In my opinion, that’s a great step looking forward similar to the current hype of having third party applications built by developers just like Facebook.

Currently, Jolicloud is not ready to be launched yet. More details need to be sort out and private beta is in the plan to be launched soon. Watch out for this space.

Tommy Chieng — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 16:07:07 +0000

It was reported that currently there are close to 9 million PCs, mainly in companies networks, being infected by a virus in Asia, Europe and the U.S. This virus attacking Microsoft operating systems is believed to be a form a digital hijacking has been spreading rapidly through corporate networks, according to F-Secure.

Fortunately, this virus which is exploiting Microsoft operating systems loop-holes or bugs, is not working as intended by the original designer of the virus. The virus’s coding appears to alert computer users to bogus infections in their PCs and in turn offer to sell antivirus softwares to them. One thing to note is that a number of variants of the virus started to appear.

Microsoft said the virus is spreading by gaining access to one computer and then guessing at passwords of other users in the same network: “If the password is weak, it may succeed.”

Last Tuesday, Microsoft has issued a security patch to tackle the loop hole that this virus is attacking. Please be warned that the virus also disable the automatic Windows update. Kindly do a manual update to protect yourself.
