Microsoft Office 365 is nothing like any previous Microsoft product.
Philip Verghese 'Ariel's insight:
Pressing need for Indian institutions is not cloud storage, but tools to enable online learning

Microsoft Office 365 is nothing like any previous Microsoft product. Office 365 is a leap into the cloud by the company that has been better known for its products that brought office work processes to personal computers. Starting June, students in engineering colleges across the country will find themselves logging on to this product — a free offering from Microsoft — courtesy an order from the All-India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) that has drawn flak from advocates of software freedom.

How to clear your Facebook search history

 

Can you lose your Facebook Page because you didn't follow the rules? Facebook would never shut down a Page because they ran a contest and did something like... oh, I don't know, maybe offer to donate a dollar to charity for every Like their Page gets... right?

I'm constantly seeing people saying they've never heard of a Page being shut down for violating a rule and that Facebook doesn't enforce most of them anyway. Well, here are two examples of some popular Pages that were shut down by Facebook for some seemingly innocent contest rule violations. Think it's okay to do it just because you see the big dogs doing it? Think again.

TR-10 - Red October / Sputnik malware - Recommendations

TR-10 - Red October / Sputnik malware - Recommendations | Techie News From Around The World | Scoop.it

Overview

Red October is a malware family, also named Sputnik, which was detected in October 2012 by Kaspersky. It was active since 2007, installations have been spotted around the globe and targets were diplomatic and governmental agencies. The malware usually was sent by email to selected people in the respective organizations.

 

As a cover, different office file formats have been used to transport the loader of the malware, using different exploits to drop the malicious content. After several stages of unpacking, the malware is running persistently on the computer and only when it successfully probes internet connectivity, it decrypts a separate file and starts to behave maliciously: it connects to a Command and Control server, awaiting new commands or downloading and executing specific malware modules.

 

Detection

 

Currently, the domains in this document are known to be used for Command and Control activity.

 

Any hit in your organisation's Proxy or DNS log files or firewall logs during the last 6 years indicate a compromised host in your organization.

 

Proactive measures

 

- Block access to below mentioned domains and IP addresses.

 

- Reactive measures

 

- Review log files, also those from backups regarding hits on the domains / IP addresses. In case of a hit, identify and isolate the machine by unplugging it from the network. CIRCL can assist with the analysis of memory and file system dumps.

Excel Liberation.: Publishing Google Apps Script code snippets by Bruce McPherson

In a previous post I showed how Google Apps Script could return the contents of a script as Json so you could format that for including script samples on web sites.

Today, here is how to use the html service to format that code.  It takes arguments of ?module=xxx&template=yyy and will use html template yyy, to publish module xxx.

'Wintel' on the wane: Intel goes Google | Techie News From Around The World | Scoop.it
Intel has been synonymous with Windows PCs seemingly forever. But it's trying to change that in a hurry. Enter Google. Read this article by Brooke Crothers on CNET News.
Philip Verghese 'Ariel's insight:

The fact that Microsoft and Intel no longer rule the personal computing world isn't news. But what happens next is.

I'll start with a flashback from the early '90s. I remember attending the launch of Windows 3.1 when I lived in Japan. Kazuhiko Nishi, former friend and business partner of Bill Gates, made a statement that foretold the fate of the Japanese PC industry as well as the global PC market.

Hi Giuseppe. First: (belated) happy new year. Next a question I put as comment on my rescoop: Isn't the proliferation of discovery tools a self-defeating proposition? If there are more curation platforms than original sources, how is that going to help?
Just a (provocative) thought ...

Hello Therese, thanks about wishes and Happy New Year to you too!
About your thought, there is surely an increase of discovery tools and curation platforms, but those are still few, really reliable and continuous development (as Scoop.it).
About the original sources, today they are an infinite universe which daily grows unabated.
