Conventional war backed by Cyber war
With the advancing computer technology, and the computer becoming an essential part of life, most of the data that a person, company or a government has would be on the computer. Does someone hack those computers, leaving a worm in the system that not only destroys all the data, but steals it, the damage could be irreversible. This is a relatively new method that criminals, companies and countries around the world are using as a source of attack on the others' systems. This kind of attack is sneakier and relatively unpredictable, hardly identifiable, and hence is hard to be reversed... Continue reading

Virtual worlds aid cyberpsychologists to learn more
One of the cyberpsychologists 'Dr. Suler' has been involved in virtual world research for more than a decade now. He has written books on it. He has been completely dedicated and imersed himself into the virtual world completely. Here is the image of Dr. Suler's avatar improving from the newbie in Second Life. Before joining Second Life, he worked as an avatar of Palace. He has familiarized himself completely with the virtual worlds in these past years. Since avatars in virtual worlds represent those traits of the people which they may hide in real life, or may at least want... Continue reading

Lively, a failed project but still interesting
Google had introduced a new virtual world to its users through 3D rooms that it was going to make available to the users who would have the opportunity to make those rooms a reflection of their own personality by decorating those rooms just as they wanted without spending fortune. And that would be your online meeting place with your friends and other users.This virtual world was called 'Lively' by Google, however, the users faced a lot of technical problems with it and hence the idea was finally dropped after a lot of work being done on it and also money...

Education Spread
There are people who teach, and then there are those who seek (the knowledge). Isn't the internet revolution making it so easier for both to reach each other. When I was a kid, I used to wish while going to school, if the process could be reversed, that is instead of me going to school, the school could come to me. Well, that has somewhat happened, now a big knowledge reserve reaches me home through internet, in fact I don't have the capability of taking in all the knowledge that is available. But still I can absorb the knowledge I... Continue reading

I am trying to say (quite unsuccessfully though) that Australia is not a developing, struggling country. It is quite a developed country. It is like America in essence that the initial immigrants were mostly from the developed countries of the time, comparatively more open to things, they were sort of rebels from their own prejudiced soceities and embraced these new worlds with huge ideologies in mind, bringing a concept of open and free society, and yet they brought their culture with them. The public of Australia is not illiterate, unaware of their own rights people, they do have a say, and their voices are not suppressed by some feudals unlike in developing countries.Hence, their mentalities are more atuned to freedom of speech and life.

Australia's culture vs. net control policy
I am trying to research the fact whether Australia's general culture complies with the net control policy they are trying to execute in their country. I personally have an impression that Australia is a very modern country, with a lot of immigrants and a good education system that attracts a lot of foreign students to benefit from it. Also, Australia has a European influence with Dutch and British victories. Australia is a country where the teenagers below fifteen comprise only 19% of the population, the group between 15 and 64 makes about 67% of the population, hence a larger percentage....

Information Dividend, Is it a basic right or luxury
In an interesting research by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT,shows that acess to information technology has a 'statistically significant, positive impact on life satisfaction' The Chartered Institute for IT has found in it's study that access to IT is linked to well being and sense of control over your life. It has also found that the poor nations benefit the most when provided with this access. Internet for private sector did come as a luxury in the first place, but think, 'is it a luxury anymore'. It is becoming a basic need with time. Many of the US companies... Continue reading

FCC formally rules Comsat throttling of BitTorrent was illegal and raises controversy
This ruling in 2008 is a landmark on the history of net neutrality cases, since there has never before been formal hearing of such a case. It was close though, the FCC ruled 3-2 votes in ruling that the Comsat practice of blocking or slowing down content from BitTrottle was illegal. However, the ruling has been reversed at the Court of appeals recently in April 2010, by a three panel judges. In November 2007 Federal Communications Commission received a request from Free Press joined by a few faculty members from Yale, Harvard and Stanford, to prosecute Comsat against it's discriminatory...

AOL-Google expand revenue sharing pact to include mobile, online video
Washington Post reporter Steven Overly has written an interesting article about the Google-AOL relationship. The relationship is about 8 years old. AOL has been a subsidiary of the company "Time Warner". However, it has matured in previous years distinctively and broken it's ties with Time Warner recently. Although Google-AOL ties still carry on, and infact have recently renewed their vows, to take their venture from your laptop and PCs to your mobile and cells. As the wireless services improve on the cell phones they hit it at just the right time to carry their mutual services to this higher level.... Continue reading
