AT&T Gives Up on T-Mobile Buyout

admin — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 05:34:52 +0000

As many people know, AT&T has recently tried to buy out T-Mobile, in hoped to expand their reaches in the fight for mobile dominance. However, recently AT&T has given up their bid on the company, for unknown reasons. Because they decided to give up their bid on the company, they have also lost four billion dollars in the process. This is huge considering the fact that they received ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FROM THIS, which tells you that something must not be right about T-mobile, or that T-mobile paid AT&T off to stop pushing them towards selling their company.

Due to the fatal mistake of AT&T backing off of one of the hottest business deals there is this year so far, Verizon is being considered the number one service provider in the world, because they’ve decided to keep their nose clean and expand within themselves. More information on the AT&T crisis will more than likely be released when more credible information is admitted. Companies like Afghan Wireless would love to have one of these potential buy outs

Internet Censoring in 2012?

Tim — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 18:06:52 +0000

As many technologically innovative individuals have recently heard, the United States has tried to pass a law, which would make it so any content would have to be considered by the host of such content. This means that major networks like Facebook, (as well as Google), would have to inspect EACH AND EVERY move that every single person using their services makes, and then manually allow it to be posted. This basically means that “social networking” would no longer be social, because half of the content that would be posted by users wouldn’t actually even make it to their pages, because it may be “inappopriate” in the eyes of another, ruining the whole point of the internet. Of course, this is impossible considering the fact that the internet cannot be controlled. They have more or less given up now on trying to censor it, but they will always continue to try and find some way to control technology. Will we see it in 2012? Probably not, but we will have to wait and see what changes happen for the internet over the next few years

iPhone 5 - 2012?

Tim — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 16:36:08 +0000

Tech geeks everywhere have been marveling at the powerful concept design that Apple has recently released. For years, we’ve been waiting for a phone that actually projects its screen to any surface, with many different abnormal features like we see on television all the time. This is Apple’s goal with the iPhone 5, as their goal is to build a phone that no other brand will be able to match for awhile. This version of the iPhone is going to have a keyboard which can be displayed on any surface, and used off of that surface. In addition, you’ll be able to project your screen anywhere that you’d like.

This makes content sharing with friends so much easier, and that’s only the major features of the new iPhone which has been rumored to be ready around late 2012 or early 2013. The phone will more than likely include an even stronger and faster processor, which means an even faster experience than the legendary iPhone 4.

Playstation 4 vs Playstation 3

Chrissie — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 01:12:27 +0000

The Playstation 4 has recently been announced, and the first question asked by consumers is, “How can the Playstation generations get any better?”. Most gamers are under the false presumption that the graphics are unable to get any better because of how great some games are, when in reality there is not a ridiculous difference between the Playstation 2 and 3. The games that are produced from all of these different companies are what display how great the graphics are, not the actual console. The console allows these games that are being made to reach a certain point with their graphics, (of which they have not reached yet apparently), before they have to halt their process of advancing. The Playstation 4 does not have an official release date, but judging by how Sony always is, you can expect it to be out within 2012, or early 2013.

What is Google Panda?

Tim — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 03:18:24 +0000

Google Panda is an anti-spam program that has been placed in order to stop internet marketers from “autoblogging”. This program has required that anyone posting content that is indexed by Google have their content be real, and not be copyrighted or reused by multiple people. The date is checked on whoever has the first entry that is the same, and all others are deleted by Google. The simple way to avoid this is to get genuine and unique content, by a quality writer. These articles should vary from two hundred to six hundred words at the most, depending on the subject. You may have to end up paying more for your content, but it’s worth not having to have your articles get taken down right after you buy them, because they’re cheap quality! A quality writer varies anywhere from seven to ten dollars, but you may be able to find one for a dollar or so cheaper if you search hard enough.

Filezilla Server 425 can’t open data connection on Windows 2011 SBS or 2008

admin — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 05:49:47 +0000

The client filezilla error was failed to retrieve directory listing.

Was Moving client from 2003 server to 2011 Small Business server and filezilla server would no longer work.

Serveral documents I found noted settings in FTP application side but did not help.

I opened port 21 on the Windows 2008 server filewall of course, but it still would not work.

Eventually I figured out that I also needed to allow the program it self.

Goto windows firewall under control panel
Click Inbound rules
Click New Rule
Click Program, next
Find filezilla server.exe - its under program files, filezilla directory
Next, Allow
Next, Domain , Private and Public

It should work now!

Making It Rain: Cloud Email for Professionals

FGuest — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 23:54:07 +0000

The face of business fluctuates continuously. The demands and modes of operation must change with the economy or risk falling behind. New technologies are churned out for increased efficiency and cost-effectivity. Cloud email is just one of the recent innovations to debut in the world of business and technology.

For those who don't know, cloud email is email hosting accessed through a browser with a connection to the internet. Many businesses are making the switch from on-premise email solutions to cloud email. The reasons for this massive shift are plain to see once you study the advantages of cloud email over on-site email.

The primary benefit of cloud email is cost. With this new kind of email you now have a stable monthly or yearly pricing structure as opposed to on-premise email where you have a massive upfront investment as well as continuing maintenance costs. With cloud email a company's IT department doesn't have to worry about constantly monitoring the upkeep of servers, keeping a constant eye on security, spending time with backups, or installing upgrades. There's no need for any of that with cloud email because those services are part of the package. The hardware is maintained and upgraded off-site.

With traditional e-mail, scaling has been a problematic issue. Businesses had to constantly add more and more server space in order to accommodate their needs, and costs were spiraling out of control. With cloud email you'll have massive amounts of storage and won't have to worry about fluctuating costs.

Business professionals should take a look at the various cloud email solutions such as Dell Microsoft Exchange to see how they can make their businesses better and save them money. The switch can be much easier than you think and could also include certain advantageous features such as groups, calenders, and document tools. Take a look at the professional business world from the clouds and see how you like it.
