Resent News!!

This is resent computer news that I am interested in. According to The survey by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, 34% of American Internet users have used wireless connection like WiFi or cell phone. 19% of Internet users have wireless conection in their house. Two years ago, only 22% of users had wireless connection, and if we consider about the fact that Internet-population is growing, it is remarkable progress even though the persentage seems not so big. I wonder the case of Japan. All most all Japanese cell phones can connect to the Internet, so dose it mean we have wireless connection? I am not sure, and unfortunately I cannot find the information about that. However, it is true that wireless conection is becoming popular rapidly because of the convenience.

What Is "Social Engineering"?

Social engineering is also called social hacking or social cracking. Social engineering is stealing important security information such as ID or passwords, not by technically but by socially. Popular example is picking through trash of a company or an organization and finding discs that contain secret documents or important data. Even you may use a paper shredder, it can be reconnected. Also, it is other way calls and asks information by lying about his/her identity. In a company, perpetrators may pass himself off as a boss, call to system management center, and say “I forgot passwords, so please tell me again”. There are a lot of other ways. Companies have to set up exacting rules of important data to prevent social engineering.

about the Mac

I do not know about the Mac a lot, but I learned from the class a little. In those things, I especially interested in the very nice customer service, and there is no virus to the Mac because I am often embarassed by the windows customer suervise and viruses. Also, it is attractive that the Mac can use both the Windows and the Mac functions. In addition, many people say that the Mac computer is better at graphic and paintings. For me, the design of the mac computers is absolutely attractive than the Windows. The Mac is very smart, compact, and cool!! The new laptop computer of the Mac surprized me because it was so small like, you said that it looked like a lunch pack.

What do you know about the Mac (Apple computers)?

I have used Mac computers only a few times, and I do not know about the Mac. However, I am interested in the design and the improvements. Many people say that the Mac is difficult to use, but I want to know whether it is true or not because Mr. Poza said that the Mac is easier than the Windows. Can I use Mac easily even I am accustomed to the Windows? Also, apple is introducing attractive things, so I think if I use such things: like i-pod and i-phone, it is better to use the Mac rather than the Windows. Is there any compatibility? Finally, I have a question about the Mac users who strongly recommend the Mac. If the Mac is so nice, why do most people use the Windows? Generally speaking, I think people use better thing, so popular computer is better, so I cannot understand why the Mac cannot get popularity. These are my questions about the Mac!
