A big problem of modern-day phones is their battery life, or better, their lack of it. After 1 or 3 days you need to plug it to a power-socket and most of the times when you're in the middle of an important conversation.

Here is where LG comes in. We had confirmation of a reliable source within LG, that the company is developing a phone that doesn't need to be recharged. That's about time!


Techniques
You're probably wondering how this is possible? Solar panels? Most probably, but solar juice isn't enough to power nowadays energy consuming phones. Luckily there are more techniques available. I'm using a Seiko Kinetic watch for many years now that uses kinetic energy instead of a battery. Why not using this technique in a phone? It gets enough action during the day to charge itself.

According to our source this new LG phone would be announced soon.

LG has made the announcement of the LG BL40 official and it is quite a remarkable phone. The BL40 is the fourth device in the Black Label series and is also called the new Chocolate phone.

The device has a very large touchscreen; 4 inch in an unusual 800 x 345 pixels resolution. The device is very long and thin at the same time. The aspect ration is 21:9 and this should give the device a panoramic and cinema-like experience.





Dual Screen UI
Another advantage of this long display is that it is possible to open two different windows at the same time. LG is calling this Dual Screen UI.

The new LG Chocolate is getting available in the third quarter of this year. Prices are still unknown.

The US government has cleared yet another high technology system for India, the "futuristic" shipboard Hawkeye E-2D aircraft for Airborne Early Warning (AEW) and battle management.





The clearance has been described by diplomatic sources as a fallout of the "successful" visit of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the signing of the End User Monitoring Agreement (EUMA) of military equipment being supplied or sold by the US to India.

Like the Boeing P 8I Maritime Multi-mission Aircraft (MMA), of which the Indian Navy has already ordered eight aircraft, the Hawkeye E-2D is the very latest and is yet to be delivered to the US Navy.

India is the second country after the UAE to be cleared by the US State and Defense Departments for sale of this sophisticated system. The US Navy has sanctioned $432 million for trials of the aircraft, currently underway at the Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland. The Naval Systems Command (NAVAIR) based there provides engineering and testing support for new naval systems and weapons.

The Hawkeye E-2D has been under the US government's consideration for India for some time. In fact, in 2007, Pentagon sources in Washington had told this writer that the aircraft was being cleared, but apparently the previous version, Hawkeve E-2C, was eventually offered to which the Indian Navy said "No" in informal discussions.

The aircraft is being manufactured by Northrop Grumman, a leading US player in Aerospace, Warships, Missiles, Combat Radars and Electronic Warfare systems.

Northrop Grumman's programme Manager for International Business Development Tom C. Trudell told India Strategic magazine that the aircraft has "just been cleared by the US government for India" and that a presentation was made to the Indian Navy in August in New Delhi.

Indian Navy officers had witnessed the capabilities of the Hawkeye E-2C but told the US officials that as the equipment it would buy would be used for years, it must be the best and the latest with future capability insertion potential.

India Strategic quotes unnamed Indian officials as saying that the technology onboard the Hawkeye E-2D is "very tempting" and that although neither the Gorshkov aircraft carrier which India is buying from Russia nor India's first aircraft carrier indigenously being built would be able to accommodate this aircraft, India's future aircraft carriers could be a little bigger.

"By the time this aircraft comes, and by the time the Indian Navy gets used to it from initial shore-based operations, plans for two more aircraft carriers could be amended to house this system."

There have been no tenders of RfPs yet for the Hawkeye E-2D, but then companies from worldwide present their wares to various countries either by themselves and at their own cost, or make offerings in response to Request for Information (RfI) which are floated in routine by all the armed forces to know what is available in terms of newer generation of systems.

Future aircraft carriers of the Indian Navy would also have to be equipped with catapult launching systems, for which it is already looking around. India's second and third aircraft carriers should have this facility along with lifts and adequate open area for what is called free deck takeoff.

The Mig 29Ks that the Indian Navy is buying for Gorshkov, will be launched by a ski ramp.

Tip to tip, the Hawkeye is a bigger aircraft than the Mig 29.

Trudell said that although Northrop Grumman had been allowed to make presentations to the Indian Navy, its sale would have to be direct between the Indian and US government under the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) programme. There are many systems on board, developed for US Navy, which only the US government can clear for transfer to other countries.

The US Navy has initially ordered five Hawkeye E-2Ds under a Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) programme, and the first aircraft should be delivered to the US Navy in 2011.

India can get the aircraft within three years of a contract being signed, said Trudell.

The confidentiality, availability and the integrity of the data is the most important aspect of the computer security. Computer security refers to securing your computer from the unauthorized access and from internal and external threats like virus, spyware, Trojan horses, phishing attacks, hackers and intruders. There are a large number of techniques that can be used to protect your computer from all these threats. In this article you will learn that how to secure your computer from the most common security threats.

Network security consists of the provisions made in an underlyingcomputer network infrastructure, policiesadopted by the network administrator to protect the network and the network-accessible resources from unauthorizedaccess, and consistent and continuous monitoring and measurement of its effectiveness (or lack) combined together.

NETWORK SECURITY CONCEPTS

Network security starts from authenticating any user, commonly (one factor authentication) with a username and a password (something you know). With two factor authentication something you have is also used (e.g. a security token or 'dongle', an ATM card, or your mobile phone), or with three factor authentication something you are is also used (e.g. a fingerprint or retinal scan). Once authenticated, a stateful firewall enforces access policies such as what services are allowed to be accessed by the network users.^[1] Though effective to prevent unauthorized access, this component fails to check potentially harmful content such as computer worms being transmitted over the network. An intrusion prevention system (IPS)^[2] helps detect and inhibit the action of such malware. An anomaly-based intrusion detection system also monitors network traffic for suspicious content, unexpected traffic and other anomalies to protect the network e.g. from denial of service attacks or an employee accessing files at strange times. Communication between two hosts using the network could be encrypted to maintain privacy. Individual events occurring on the network could be tracked for audit purposes and for a later high level analysis.

Honeypots, essentially decoy network-accessible resources, could be deployed in a network as surveillance and early-warning tools. Techniques used by the attackers that attempt to compromise these decoy resources are studied during and after an attack to keep an eye on new exploitation techniques. Such analysis could be used to further tighten security of the actual network being protected by the honeypot.^[3]

A useful summary of standard concepts and methods in network security is given by ^[4] in the form of an extensible ontology of network security attacks.

Computer networks are used to share the data and resources and for the communications. To get the optimized performance, data protection, maintenance, improved reliability and the security, every system administrator and network administrator should know the basic maintenance, troubleshooting and security techniques. Downtime is very dangerous for the critical network business applications and servers. In this article, you will learn some of the best networking tips and by using them you can get the optimized performance from your network.

1. Security

A compute network is susceptible to the internet and external security related threats, which includes viruses, spyware, adware, Trojan horses, rootkits, web worms, intruders and hackers. To keep your network secure

Firewall: Install and configure a software/hardware firewall on your gateway and all other computers in your network. Firewall is used monitor the inbound and outbound traffic and block the unauthorized access and hackers’ attacks.
Antivirus: Install antivirus software such as Norton Antivirus, Trend Micro Office Scan, Panda Antivirus or McAfee and regularly scan your computer with an antivirus program.
Anti spyware: Install and configure an up-to-dated anti spyware software in your network.
Updated Operating System: Update your Windows based operating systems with the latest service packs, hot fixes and security patches.
Browser Security: Raise the level of security of your web browsers.

2. Connectivity

Computer networking sometimes considered to be complex and seems to hard to troubleshoot. The connectivity problems occur in the computer network due to the devices conflicts, outdated LAN card’s driver, faulty hardware, faulty cable or connectors and misconfigurations. To troubleshoot the connectivity related issues, you need to perform the following tasks.

• Check the LEDs of your LAN card.
• Update the driver of your LAN card.
• Scan your computer for the viruses and spyware.
• Check the UTP/STP cable, the both end of the cable should be properly inserted i.e. one end in the LAN card and one end in the hub/switch or router.
• Check the configurations of the LAN card.
• PING the destination computer and check the status.
• If your problem is still not resolved, replace the LAN card and reconfigure it.

3. Maintenance

Computer network availability and security is very critical for the businesses. Maintenance include the domain setup, dealing with the internal and external security threats, assigning IP addresses to the computes, enabling/disabling network services like DHCP, FTP SMTP, SNMP, taking data backup, adding/removing users, troubleshooting the software/hardware, configuring the firewall and implementing the security in the overall IT infrastructure. To perform the maintenance related tasks in your compute network, you need the perfect tools.

4. Troubleshooting

You can troubleshoot the computer network related problems by using the right tools and techniques. Be default, Windows based operating systems offer the TCP/IP stack, which contains the troubleshooting and diagnostic utilities such as PING, IPCONFIG, Hostname, ARP, Telnet, NSLOOKUP, Tracert and many others. Pinging a network computer is the first troubleshooting step as it checks the connectivity with the destination computer. Additionally, you can use the other troubleshooting tools such as Ethereal, IP Sniffer, LanGuard, Packeteer and many others. These tools help to diagnose the cause of the problem and troubleshoot them.

5. Performance

To get the optimized performance from your computer network, you need to perform the following actions on every computer of your network.

• Use System Tools
• Delete Unnecessary Files
• Update Device Drivers
• Update BIOS
• Uninstall Unused Programs
• Update Operating System

6. Wireless Networking Security Tips

The following tips are very helpful in securing your wireless computer network.

• Change the Default SSID
  Change the Default Administrator’s password
• Disable SSID broadcast.
• Enable Mac Address Filtering
• Assign Static IP address to the Network devices and computers.
• Turn on and configure the firewall on every computer in your network.
• Enable IPSec, SSL, Encryption, WPA and WPE according to your security requirements.

Securing Wireless Network

Wireless network has become very popular in the home and office networks. Wireless network security is required to protect your wireless network from the unauthorized access, viruses, hackers and other internal and external threats. An unsecured wireless network is an open invitation to the hackers, intruders and the viruses. Many worldwide businesses and the home users are rapidly adopting the wireless networking for the key advantages that it has like the mobility, ease of work, easy management, scalability and the lost cost.

If you plan to implement the WLAN or wi-fi then its important for you to understand the security challenges that are associated with it to protect it from the security threats. The most common security threats include the following.

• Viruses
• Hackers
• Spyware
• Intruders
• Unauthorized Users
• Denial of Service
• Network Injection
• Trojans

Solutions

The possible steps that can be taken to protect the network are the following.

• All wireless network devices including routers, access point the PCMCIA LAN cards need to be secured.
• The wireless network needs to be monitored for detecting and preventing it from the security threats and for monitoring the users’ activities.
• All the users should be educated about the security threats.

Security Solutions

A wireless computer network can be protected from the internal and external security threats by implementing the following techniques.

• Change the default password of the router.
• Disable SSID broadcast.
• Map the IP addresses with the MAC addresses
• Enable WEP, WPA and WPA2 security mechanisms.
• Enable 128-bit WEP encryption.
• Use strong passwords.
• Disable Remote Administration.
• Do not auto connect to the open Wi-Fi networks.
• Assign static IP address to the devices.
• Enable firewall and the antivirus software on each computer.
• Place the router and access point in the center of the network.
• Turn off the network when you are not using it.
• Limit access rights.
• Upgrade to wi-fi protected networks.

A computer network is referred to as client/server if (at least) one of the computers is used to "serve" other computers referred to as "clients". Besides the computers, other types of devices can be part of the network:
