Cross-Platform Java Bot Used for DDoS Attacks



Java
The java platform is used in DDOS attacks by bot. The malicious Java application can be run on Windows, OS X and Linux machines. Kaspersky Lab researchers analyzed a malware that infects computers to form a botnet - a network of zombie computers - and use it in attacks distributed denial of service.

This botnet is controlled via IRC protocol to conduct targeted attacks on IP addresses. Attackers can adjust the intensity of the attack and its duration. It uses a data stream via HTTP or UDP. At least one target of this botnet was an email service.

The malware behind the botnet is written entirely in Java. Through this platform, it can be run on Windows, OS X and Linux. Still, it runs a Java vulnerability for which a patch exists since June 2013.

This vulnerability is present in the Java Runtime Environment with Oracle Java SE 7 Update 21 and earlier, and Java 6 Update 45 and earlier. This is not the first time a botnet infects the three most popular operating systems.

Opera 19 with Bookmark API Released!



Opera 19

Opera has been released its browser in a new version Opera 19 . The Opera19 web browser has the latest release of some interesting features that Google Chrome have already.

 Among other things, there is a new Bookmarks Bar for managing bookmarks, wallpapers for the individual design of the browser extensions and a new section for advanced user’s settings. According to the developer's blog, the new stable release will be presented with the version number 19.0.1326.47.

Opera thus offers very similar features, such as based on the same rendering engine flashing Chrome browser. The new bookmarks API brings a one - collapsible bookmark bar which can be operated under Windows simply by dragging and dropping. With the reintroduction of bookmarks a basic function comes back; which was completely lacked since version 15. Now Photos can be used in the browser as wallpaper (right click on photos that are opened in the browser - "Use Image as Theme" > ).

 In the available extensions, there are two major innovations; first one is, there is a blacklisting of add- ons as well as an inline -install option. On the other hand, there are still a number of smaller improvements that have been set out in detail in the change log.

In addition, Opera Software announced that it has provided a more than 700 enhancements in total for users benefit. Opera have currently created a few new settings with the Opera 19.0.1326.47 and Opera has made available the new version for OS X too. The updates are now available for free.

New Strontium Atomic Clock sets new world records in term of precision up to 5 billion years


 New Strontium Atomic Clock
The Atomic Clock model of National Institute of Standards and Technology works with Strontium. Many of the current technological devices use Coordinated Universal Time (UTC); which is one of the international unit of measure made reliable by atomic clocks around the world. But a revolution will perhaps take place in this area: a new type of clock that will pass the time; for a long time, even until the end of our time. JILA laboratory at the University Of Boulder, Colorado, has a unique design of its kind of Atomic clock.

It looks little bit strange but this clock is obviously not like the others. It is a new model of atomic clock, giving the most accurate time in the world! This clock was unveiled in the journal Nature and operates like other atomic clocks, with a jet of atoms, moving from an excited state to another (by stimulated by a laser), gives a frequency electromagnetism frequency which will define a second reference. This can be seconds, subsequently calculated the minutes and hours.

The set of more than 300 atomic clocks scattered on Earth and in orbit around the Earth to form a network giving the International Atomic Time, which is a yardstick used to disseminate the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), itself is used to satellites, GPS, watches and other computers and everything in the planet. More than 300 atomic clocks in the world but the Boulder the new atomic clock differs here. Boulder first uses a material which is not listed as used in the process of other atomic clocks. This is a clock Strontium, while other atomic clocks using cesium.

It promises a still life and calculates the exact time upto5 billion years! And yet, the results are there and can be further refined, as explained by Jun Ye, the Department Head Search Clock affiliated with National Institute of Standards and Technology U.S. He told that they ready have plans to push performance even further progress in their clocks in the next five to ten years, he promised.

And if 5 billion years may seem sufficient precision for the common man in the search, whether the infinitely large or small, every second counts, and the technology in this field will be reliable, the more it will achieve positive results. By comparison, the atomic clock of the Observatory of Paris, which is one of the most successful operating Cesium clocks, could give the second with precision about 300,000 million years. Now, officials and the new NIST atomic clock model will apply to ask to accept the strontium in addition to or in place of cesium and it is only a matter of time!

Alleged fake WhatsApp Application brings banking Trojan


WhatsApp
Kaspersky warns of a new spam wave that attracts users with an alleged WhatsApp version for the PC. An alleged fake WhatsApp campaign reaches users via e –mail and the downloaded PC version turns out to be banking Trojan. They are sending mail stating that “Finally WhatsApp for PC and eleven pending friend requests are waiting for you!” This looks s sort of the youngest Hoax of cyber criminals out of users reached by e-mail, and points to a download of the alleged first official PC version of WhatsApp.

But instead of downloading the messenger they downloaded software which includes a dangerous banking Trojan, it steels the the private online banking information and passwords from the victim once downloaded and sends back to the culprit. Malware expert Dmitry Bestuzhev of Kaspersky Labs already last week warned in their website SecureList before the spam email campaign. So far, there is no official announcement of WhatsApp PC popular messaging service officially only and it is only as a mobile version.

So if you find one in Portuguese written message from Whatsapp in your mail inbox, then it could be a by a deceptive hoax that roams currently in the network. Instead of a Messenger download it downloads a hide PC Trojan. The email makes reference to a dubious download link that says “Download now ". The malware is disguised as a 2.5 megabyte MP3 file and not only sends private data to the criminals, but also invites up to ten megabytes of viruses and other malicious programs on the computer.

Perhaps the Brazilian WhatsApp users were the target of the attack, according to their post. Note: As long as you do not click on the download link, you are safe. Since the Trojans need to be installed manually in order to get into the computer.

Microsoft SkyDrive is renamed OneDrive

OneDrive
As part of the renaming campaign, Microsoft is apparently feeling generous and have been given 20 GB of extra storage for one year. However, it is not yet clear how Microsoft selected this “valued customer“. The software giant Microsoft has entered in to the conflict with the British TV channel Sky and has to change the name of its cloud storage SkyDrive.

It is still unclear whether SkyDrive should be renamed only in Britain, else throughout the globe. In future the SkyDrive will be called as OneDrive making the name similar to their game console Xbox One and the Domain onedrive.com will soon replace the skydrive.com and already a promotional video has been published.

The agreement entered with Sky Broadcasting Group has given reasonable time to migrate to the new name and the whether the agreement include cash payment was not yet known. This is the second set back for Microsoft earlier it was forced to retire from use of “Metro” in the user interface of Windows 8 since the Metro AG group challenged the use.

Defeated in court by British TV channel Sky in 2013, Microsoft was forced to abandon to SkyDrive brand. Hence online storage file services of Microsoft’s SkyDrive, name will be changed. This was formally announced by Ryan Gavin, head of services and applications, in a blog post without giving much detail.

Samsung Disables Third-Party Accessories In Galaxy Note 3 with KitKat Update


Galaxy Note 3
The Galaxy Note 3 will be the first Samsung device, which only works with licensed accessories and disables the third party accessories. If third-party accessories offered without a matching chip, special functions are no longer available after the update has been deployed on Android 4.4. In U.S., Samsung distributed already the update for the Galaxy Note 3 to the latest Android 4.4 Kitkat.

After the update the third-party accessories may no longer work. Note that you may watch that the people are complaining in xda forum. The users report that the Galaxy Note 3 is no longer reasonable to work with Android 4.4 with a special S -View case. The shell supports the S -view window function to display information on the cover.

In addition there is a transparent area on the screen coverage is reduced when closing the cover. Exactly this function no longer works correctly after recording the update. In addition, the cover has a special home button, which also is not working as desired after the update. Reason for this is that the Spigen sleeve is missing a Samsung chip. A user at xda - forum has taken the chip from an original Samsung Case and incorporated into the Spigen cover.

Then the S- Window function was active again, but the home button on the jacket still refused their service. Already in October 2013, there were initial reports that Samsung uses a special chip which will allow only licensed accessories. This project used by Samsung for the first time with the Kitkat update for the Galaxy Note 3. It is assumed that similar changes occur also for other Galaxy devices soon. When Galaxy Note 3 is rooted provided with Android Kitkat; the query for the Samsung chip can be disabled so that the S -View- Windows function runs again.

How To Take Control Of Your Cyberspace To Protect Your Hard work


DMCA
There is a significant amount of confusion over internet works and copyright laws, and the risk of having your photo, blog or image used without your permission grows daily. What many people do not know is that the internet is considered a publishing source, and works placed in cyberspace are protected by the same laws as those that protect books in the library, magazines at the newsstand and art works hanging in a museum.

Internet Public Domain

One argument used by many website owners is that works on the internet fall under “public domain,” a label given to something that is considered to be owned by everyone, not just one person or business. However, under the law, the technology that makes the internet work is public domain, but people or businesses do own the servers, computers, domains and IP addresses that make the internet what it is today. In addition, the content placed on a website is not public domain, but is owned by the person who owns the website, or the person who wrote the article or took the photo.

Ease of Access

Another problem writers and artists find on the internet is that it is easy for others to copy information from one site to another. A blog post on a business website can be cut and pasted into another web editor and used by a different website owner who passes it off as his own work. A photo taken by a professional photographer can be cut and pasted for use as a company logo in another country with no royalty paid to the photographer. For many artists and writers, their livelihood is dependent on the ability to sell articles, photos or works of art, and when they are taken and used elsewhere, it is literally keeping them from making money.

Once Created it is Covered

As soon as a writer creates a written work, a photographer snaps a photo or a painter creates a new watercolor, that creation becomes copyrighted. The law does not require the creator to label it with the easily identifiable (c), although this is one way to protect works online. An author or artist may agree to allow someone to post their work elsewhere and still retain the copyright, but they still own the rights to the document or artwork. One suggestion for those who wish to use someone else’s work found online is to add a link to that website rather than removing the entire document. This is not copyright infringement and most authors or artists welcome links in order to promote their works.

Many large companies are now using software to search for stolen works, such as photos and blog posts. In addition, many are seeking legal action from those who commit copyright infringement. Submitdmca.com and other protection resources are a good way to notify others that they have infringed on copyright laws and to learn more about legal options should your work be taken without your permission.

Now Hold Your Baby In Your Arms Before Birth Thanks to 3D Printing Technology

3D- Babies

3D- Babies-1

3D- Babies-2

3D- Babies-3

In recent time, 3D printing is at the center of attention as it appears to know no bounds in terms of creativity. Moreover, the area is so vast and recently one site offers its services to get the real size picture of your baby in the fetus with the 3D print technology.

This is a strange approach; the consequences could be serious for the health of the unborn child due to prolonged use of ultra sound to take the print of the fetus.

Indeed, over the last ten years now, the 3D and 4D ultrasounds have appeared to the delight of the expectant parents.

However, this fad is not without consequences for the baby; the National Council of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of France may required to alert parents about the potential adverse effects of this practice fetus subjected to prolonged ultrasound harmful to its tissues. As this is potentially a dangerous practice, the site simply named “3D- Babies" With it, you can make a 3D impression of your child for the price of € 443. This will make it possible to “hold your baby in your arms before birth.

Obviously, the first question that arises about the usefulness of such picture and the site quickly respond that It is a great way to share the excitement of this happy event come with your friends and family. Moreover, the site even offers a promotional code for grandparents: LOVE to get a second infant at discounted prices.

 Then, of course you can also “customize“ your baby choosing the sex, the color of his skin or the position in which it is printed. Everything will be delivered in a box, still slightly resembling a coffin (?) The top of it is that you can also get 3D replica of celebrity babies, for the moment now it is only available is the pictures of the child of Kim Kardashian and Kanye is for sale.

You may think this practice completely strange and even somewhat disturbing. Some of us wonder even if the technology is not going too far in distorting one of the finest that life has to offer events, that is to say, the birth of a child but only thing we want to say that the technology is moving on!

LG G3 A Super Phone With Fingerprint Scanner!


LG G3

The pressure of competition in Smartphone market is increasing, product in the Smartphone market. Within a year after the release of LG G2, LG G3 is going to appear now with more feature like fingerprint scanner. It is rumored such that LG G2 is going to get a successor namely LG G3 in the month of May.

According to the Korean website Asiae the LG G3 display measures 5.5 inches. Thus, it is larger than the LG G2 which is of 5.2 inch display. But not only has the size grown, but also the resolution. The new LG G3 should provide 2560x1440 pixels for sharper pictures.

Also, the G3 is awarded a high resolution - only recently LG introduced a corresponding display technology. Even with the camera, the manufacturer has probably improved its performance much better than the previous version. Although the LG G2 camera snaps good pictures with 13 megapixels and Optical Image Stabilizer, the LG G3 sets for a lot more that is it is comes with a 16- megapixel camera.

In addition online sources reported that the LG G3 features like Apple's iPhone 5S and HTC One Max with a fingerprint scanner. They already planned to equip the current model LG G2 with this finger print scanner, but the technology did not make it due to lack of time to the finish product in the stipulated time.

Presumably LG builds the scanner in the upcoming G2 Pro. There is conflicting news about the launch of LG G3 in Mobile World Congress. Somebody is telling that LG G2 Pro may be unveiled at the MWC instead. Let us wait and watch!

Nokia Lumia 929 windows Phone Details Surfaced!

Nokia Lumia 929
Earlier rumors aired about Nokia's first five-inch super phone Lumia 929 to Mobile World Congress come the end of February in Abu Dhabi. The U.S. journalist Evan Blass has leaked photos of the Nokia Lumia 929 via his Twitter account.

The Nokia Lumia 929 is a high-end model, according to the Finns rumors developed for the U.S. mobile service provider Verizon. Now, the U.S. provider has accidentally confirmed the rumor hence U.S. bloggers stumbled in the online store of Verizon about the new Lumia, the cost of Lumia 929 will be around 777 dollars and will be available in black and white there in a very short time .

When Chinese traders Tao Bao stumbled, the Lumia 929 is supposed to be available already in a gray market. With the Lumia 929, Nokia would bring a device for the first time what is similar to the Samsung Galaxy S4 which has a five-inch display. This closes the gap between the smaller Lumia 925 and the giant Phablet 1520.

A similar variant for Europe is to be expected, such as the Lumia 935. Technically, the Lumia 929 is largely a more manageable version of the giant - Phablet Lumia 1520, currently which is one of the best Windows Phone Smartphone available in the market. The most important difference is that the new Lumia 929 is with its five-inch screen much easier to handle than the six-inch Phablet.

Like the Lumia 1520; Lumia 929 is coming with fast quad-core processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 with 2.2 GHz. The new Lumia would be significantly faster than the current Lumias in terms of the graphics performance and is expected to quadruple as the Lumia a1520. The operating system is Windows Phone 8 and it is used in the current version GDR3 with any extension of Nokia's Lumia Black firmware. Wireless Charging with Qi -compatible charging cradle is possible; NFC, Bluetooth 4.0 and improved microphone technique (three or more microphones) are installed.

Important difference with Lumia 1520 is that its memory is not expandable supposedly, but 32 GB could be installed. The five-inch screen comes with a Full HD resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, while the Lumia 925 has only 1280x768 pixels. Tension remains the question of whether the new technology is installed for better readability in direct sunlight. The 20 megapixel camera is expected to resemble the Pure View camera with which the Lumia 1520 has.

In this case, the phone uses the high resolution of the sensor in order to optimize image quality for smaller variants of the five-megapixel photos. Flash replacement has done to serve a dual LED light. The Lumia 929 could be seen at the Mobile World Congress in late February as the last Windows phone under the brand name Nokia before Microsoft complete the acquisition of Nokia's mobile phone division. With the Lumia 929, Nokia and Microsoft could introduce a Windows Superphone the latest technology generation on the wireless trade show in Barcelona last, the much handier than the size of its technical model Lumia 1520. We can only hope that the version for the European market comes similar to that of Lumia 935 in the color range in the market.

Accounting Software — A Quick Buyer's Guide

There was a once upon a time when maintaining your books meant rooms filled with cabinets and boxes of never ending paper. There were piles of ledgers and an untold number of pencils and erasers for manually recording and updating essential financial data.
Thank heavens for the computer and business accounting software. It saves you time and maximises space as you no longer need all that paper and room to store it. It helps you maintain insight that you might not have ever got from paper, like generating next quarter sales forecasts, pinpointing the most and least profitable services with a glance, and seeing where inventory is overstocked. It also significantly reduces calculation errors.
No accounting service should be without a reliable and robust program. Unfortunately, it’s a popular medium and there are a multitude of store bought and online applications that promise the best solution. To find the right business accounting software, there are some basic questions you need to look at and answer regarding your business and its needs.

What are your accounting needs?

There are programs that cover receiving, selling, inventory ordering, employee time keeping, payroll and business taxes. Small businesses may not have the manual resources to manually cover all these and good software will definitely streamline the process. Establish what services you need and look for accounting software that matches it. Try to stay away from software that includes hundreds of features you don’t need or can’t see yourself using in the foreseeable future. While you want to make sure the software you choose is ‘future proof’ and will allow you room to grow, you don’t want to pay for bells and whistles you won’t make use of.

What is your experience with accounting and software?

Some programs are easier to use than others, and some may require some training for you and your staff before you can make the jump into relying on the software to keep your books in check. Make sure your pick makes things simpler not harder. Grab a trial version and let potential users play.

How Will You Utilize the Software?

The cloud is simplifying the way we do business. It could mean not having to stay late to crunch those numbers. Do it on the way home or after you put the kids to bed. But that means software that’s consistent, reliable and can be accessed with no trouble on any device.

What are the local legislation requirements?

Make sure the software you choose complies with any specific legislation and accounting statutes in your country or state. If your company is based in Australia, don’t take for granted that US software will be compliant with US accounting legislation and vice versa. MYOB Exo Accounting Software might comply with different rules than Sage for example.

What are your integration concerns?

You may already have industry specific products. Find out how you would integrate any new solution and how that could affect productivity. You should also look into how easy it is to transfer from your current software if you’ve outgrown it and are looking to change – can you retain all of the old data, will it be easily accessible? You want software that will make the transition as seamless as possible.

Which type of accounting product will match your needs?

Small Business Payroll and Accounting Software.

These can be extremely affordable solutions that don’t ask for much in terms of accounting or computer experience. Of course, the more you know the better use of the accounting tool. Generate reports in graphical or spreadsheet form, take advantage of industry specific software for construction, manufacturing and more, or utilize cash flow calculators and templates for order forms, receipts, etc.

Business Management Software.

These will be full featured accounting programs that help you track point of sale, customer relationship management, inventory control, purchasing, billing and enterprise resource management. You want a solution that can integrate as many business processes as possible.

Web Hosted Accounting

Young entrepreneurs have come to trust the Internet for everything from finding a dentist to locating a good restaurant. They are ready to take advantage of the Internet to develop their businesses. There are a number of online platforms that offer advanced financial tools that will effectively manage your books.

Free Accounting Software

While free versions of accounting software can certainly provide a sound foundation for what best suits your business, totally free versions are only likely to show you how much you need a better program. You may be able to keep records, track invoices and print checks, and manage multiple accounts, but there will likely be more reliable options in paid versions, as well as greater customer support.
Have a conversation with an accountant. They could help with software recommendations and establishing what your needs are. Get input from the people currently working on your books or have involvement in ordering, invoicing, payroll or other databases. With this as your guide, focus on industry specific accounting software that aligns with your business. The more you require of the software, the higher your budget is going to be. Fortunately, the rate of return will be more than worth it.
If you follow the protocols, you’ll get a strong idea of what your product needs are and how they match up with what’s available to you. You’ll have gotten some advice from an experienced voice and tested a number of options. It’s now time to prioritize. You will be ready to select the software that comes closest to your needs with the features that will make financial processes easier that also meet your budgetary specifications.
Remember, there is no best business accounting software. There is only the one that’s best for your business needs.

Top Benefits of Archiving Files in The Cloud

Cloud
Businesses that are of various sizes, which are operating across all the sectors, can gather large quantities of data on everyday basis. From monetary reports to email exchange, these files are very crucial to retrieve and contain highly sensitive data and information, which cannot be compromised. It is important that the company has a file archiving system at a place. This archiving system allows storage of large data; the data present on it should be accessible and secure. Looking for file archiving system Cloud storage is the solution that the businesses can choose for a cloud based storage solution or a on-site file archiving system.

Drop Box, is ranked fifth among all the cloud storage alternatives present in the world which allows easy access on any device. There are various similar services present in the market. Otherwise you can go for an online virtual storage like the Google drive. In this article we outline the various advantage of the cloud storage.

Cloud Archiving Drives Down Costs

A cloud-based solution is much more cost effective than an on-site storage solution. Why? There because there are a few certain reasons. A cloud-based solution eradicates all the dedicated internal IT resources for archiving of data. But when an on-site solution is considered, the role an IT employee is that he spends most of his time dealing with file archiving issues but this is not the case when cloud based solution is considered. The cloud-based solution has a larger scalability feature. Where we only pay for the processing, bandwidth, memory applications and the needs of an business organization and there is no hidden payments which is incurred by the on-site file archiving system. The major advantage of this system is the Mime cast File archiving solution.

Accessibility of Data

Various organizations have different approaches to file archiving, while some the files is stored on-site and some of them stored on-site which can make access of difficult data with ease. But the use file archiving system is that the data stored is not to be touched- it is crucial that the stored data can be made available to both the administrators and end users. When the data is stored in a single place the access of data can be made easily without any difficulty. On a cloud based system all the data is indexed before it is stored which allows easy searching of data across multiple applications. If an employee has to locate data from his iPad or an Blackberry device he can make use of cloud file archiving system solution which makes this possible.

Disaster Recovery

Another advantage of using cloud-based solution is that it allows on site disaster recovery for file archives. If the entire companies data is stored on site than the data can be easily vulnerable or compromised. In a cloud based solution, the servers are distributed around the world, so if one server fails and due to data distribution to various servers the data is secure in spite of failure of the current server or due to disaster.

Whatever archiving solution you choose for, remember that you should be able to archive large volumes of data which increases year by year; that the data which has been archived should be easily accessible and should be totally secure.

AMD Released Warsaw Opterons With Lower TDP


Warsaw Opterons
AMD have officially presented two Warsaw Opterons 6338P and 6370P. As expected, both are specified with 99 Watt TDP, the clock rates are correspondingly lower than that of the 115 -watt models published earlier in 2012. Without much notice, AMD has released two new Opteron models namely 6338P and 6370P.

Both server processors are compatible with the LGA socket G34 and are at a TPD of 99 watts higher performance per watt than their offer Abu Dhabi predecessor mentioned. The new CPUs are identified by the suffix P, arrange themselves but apart from that in the existing Opteron 6300 - a naming scheme: The 6338P over clocked under load with 2.0 to 2.5 GHz and the 6370P reached 2.3 to 2.8 GHz.

Thus, the Warsaw models are the slowest 12 - and 16-core Opteron processors in the line-up, only the Opteron 6366 HE is clocked even more lower. The relatively low frequencies and the mature 32- nanometer manufacturing allow AMD to specify the Warsaw chips with 99 watts, thereby increasing the efficiency will be higher than the 115 -watt models.

Calculation with base clock at baseline provides the 6338P a meager 3 percent higher performance per watt than the 6344, with turbo is 12 percent. Compared to the Abu Dhabi Opterons; the Warsaw processors increased efficiency in 2P and 4P servers.

The Warsaw processors use the older Piledriver architecture, two so-called Orochi. This will be connected in the MCM process by HT links on a carrier. This also results in the four- channel memory interface, bringing the chips are well suited for RAM - intensive applications in a comparatively low server.

How to Connect All your Computers with Single Mouse and Keyboard

KVM Switch
Nowadays it’s a common thing having multiple Systems in their home like a Desktop and a laptop, Even there are a lot of people who work with two or say multiple desktop computers and its hectic to work with two mouse and two keyboards, Did you ever heard that we can actually operate multiple computers using a Single mouse and keyboard? Yes that’s possible using various methods, So here are a few methods which we can try to overcome that.

This can be done through hardware and software either ways but the important thing is the computers should be connected to each other via LAN or any Network connector.

1. KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switch, its hardware or say a cable in specific which will be a short one for keyboard, video and mouse. These are actually commonly used in Datacenters where lot of servers are placed in a single rack with a single keyboard, monitor and mouse. It will let you share a single mouse, keyboard and monitor across two or multiple computers. There is also KM switch cables using which you will be able to share a single keyboard and mouse with two computers that have two separate monitors. The best thing about using these hardware cables is they give really fast connections which makes it worth to go and makes the work more efficient. One of the main advantage of using KVM switch is that it saves space which would have been occupied if multiple keyboards, mouse are used.

2. If you don’t want to add any hardware cables there are a few software’s too which we can try, First thing to try out is Input Director, which is a Windows-only utility that’s easy to install and is totally free for non-commercial use. At first, you need to install this Input Director program on all your Computers. The computer that is physically connected by keyboard and mouse becomes the Master computer whereas the other systems will be Slave computers. Just make sure you never shut down the Master computer without turning off the Slave computers first because by doing that you will lose access to the keyboard and mouse which are physically attached to the master computer. There`s another program called Synergy , this one is a bit harder to setup than Input Director , but it’s free and a open-source thing which supports Microsoft windows, MAC OS and Linux. Both these programs are small ones which won’t eat up much resource your computers. On using both the software’s you don’t need to press any switches or buttons which was there in the case of KVM switches. Simply just move your cursor to drag drop or copy paste across your multiple computers in a easy manner. 

People who don’t mind spending for a peaceful computing will love to go for the hardware way and the Users who don’t like to spend money and want a clean desk without messing with cables will go the software way. Happy Computing.

Google X Developed Contact Lens That Helps Diabetics

Google Contact lens

Google Contact lens
Google has developed in his research laboratory Google X an electronic contact lens that could help diabetic patients. It regularly measures the blood sugar level of the tear fluid and can thus warn of high or low blood sugar levels.

With an electronic contact lens Google wants to make the daily life of diabetes patients easier because the contact lens that they wear can monitor every second, which measure blood glucose levels in the tear fluid.

So patients no need to prick their finger to detect a drop of blood their blood sugar levels. This is also the problem encountered by many diabetic patients to measure their blood sugar levels too rarely. Tiny sensors and chips and an antenna are installed between two layers of a soft contact lens, which will allow extremely precise measurements.

Google has built several prototypes, including those measure blood sugar levels per second evenly. Currently, they are experimenting with integrated LEDs as an early warning. It is still developing at a very early stage, but they were conducted several clinical trials earlier, under which the prototypes were improved.

It can be released once the clinical trials were completed but will still take some time. Currently, Google is in talks to with the U.S. health supervision FDA. Google wants to collaborate in the further development with partners who have experience in bringing such products to market. The partners will develop among other apps, of which the measurements are provided to the winner and his doctor.
