How To Be Safe From Online Frauds
Fraud
is a term used to describe the situation in which some person or
business uses your personal information in a manner which you did not
permit them to. These days there is much online activity happening and
many business transactions of things we buy over the internet expose
sensitive information and we need to make sure that this is done
cautiously and in a safe manner. To make sure you are safe while
interacting with people through the internet you can take 5 simple
measures.
1. Don’t give your password to anyone
This
is something we have all been told but everyone doesn’t seem to see the
importance. Giving out your password even to a friend or someone who
wouldn’t harm you can be dangerous. However if you do happen to give it
out change it as soon as you can.
The
reason is that even though that individual may not have any intention
to harm you can never control or always which sort of a computer they
are using when signing in to your account. If there is key logger active on the computer they use your account information through, someone can get access to your account. Do things through your account and even sift through financial records.
2. Anti-virus software
A
good antivirus is critical for your computers wellbeing and your online
safety. Though its no good having an out of date antivirus therefore it
is of even more importance to make sure your antivirus is continually
updated and matches the latest releases. Hackers and those trying to
break in to your account are always at work you need an antivirus that is updated with latest developments. AVG is great choice for antivirus. And it’s free.
3. Don’t open emails from people you don’t know
Emails
are a gateway and source for viruses to enter your computer. More so
opening mails from people you don’t know would usually provide you with a
link of a site you frequently use or is reasonably familiar. That is
not the real site but a phishing site. Phishing sites are those which
are fake versions of real sites and you are required to login or update
account information and in doing so you hand your information over to
the people that were looking for it. Generally such emails are known to
have foreign origins coming from countries such as Russia and India, and nearly all of them are waiting on you to click on that email to make their way in.
4. Don’t leave your full name after your comment
Your full name is important information and can be used to trace it all the way back to your account and its information. Even posting pictures of your self can be dangerous as that same picture can be used for a fake ID.
5. Use online storage
Rather than keeping copies on your machine use an online backup storage company like Mozy or Livedrivethat
way if your computer does get stolen or damaged you can still access
your information and its much easier to get back up and running again.
With these simple steps you can insure greater safety for your information and money.

Delivering the promise of the Internet
AP
4G is the next generation of mobile communications that promises home
broadband-like experience on wireless networks. File photo.
This week, Bangalore became the second 4G-enabled city in the country after Kolkata
This week, amid much fanfare, telecom major Airtel
launched its 4G services in Bangalore, making it the second 4G-enabled
city in the country after Kolkata.
Airtel's fourth
generation mobile broadband services are rolled out on the high-speed
TD-LTE (Time Division Long-Term Evolution) network. With this, India
becomes part of the few countries that have commercially deployed this
cutting-edge technology believed to become the de-facto standard for 4G
in the coming years.
4G is the next generation of
mobile communications that promises home broadband-like experience on
wireless networks. Currently, Airtel offers a connection through a
dongle or a Wi-Fi gateway (priced at Rs. 7,999 and Rs. 7,550,
respectively), so the focus is on data and services, with no voice and
text capabilities as of now (unless over VoIP).
This
also perhaps has to do with the fact that 4G-enabled mobile devices are
expensive, and even if introduced, will cater to an even more niche
segment that 3G has. Alluding to pricing issues, at the launch, Bharti
Airtel Chief Executive Officer Sanjay Kapoor said mobile telephony
tariffs were “unsustainable”. However, industry watchers believe that
the game changer in the 4G scene will be Reliance Telecom (reportedly
conducting 4G pilots now), the only company to own pan-India spectrum.
What is 4G?
Now,
if you're just about coming to terms with what 3G is, and are a bit at
sea about these various generations and what they've come to represent,
the simple bottom line is that it is a way to browse faster, download
and stream more content, and even access multiple services. 4G is
believed to be the technology that will deliver the promise of the
Internet: not just to browse faster, but do much more on the move. Once
service providers start offering services, you will probably be able to
experience the stuff that sci-fi of the eighties was made up of: a
‘smart home' or schools becoming redundant because teachers are able to
deliver lectures online to children in a hundred villages at a time.
In
its primer to the media, Airtel says that download speeds on its 4G
networks can reach up to 40 mbps and uploads up to 20 mbps, on the move.
However, the technical peak speed requirements (prescribed by the
International Telecommunications Union – Radio) for 4G service is 100
megabits per seconds (mbps) for high mobility communication (that is
while on the move in vehicles) and 1 gigabit per second for low-mobility
communication.
The key difference
Technology-wise,
what distinguishes a 4G network from others is that it uses packet data
switching techniques (it does not support traditional circuit-switched
telephony service).
While the frequency used for 2G, 3G and 4G is the same, the modulation differs.
However, in the case of 4G, the key difference from 3G is the introduction of the concept of time slots for each user.
While
State-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. and a few others launched 4G using
WiMax technology a few years ago, 4G on an LTE backbone is being
launched for the first time by Airtel in India.
World over, India is among a handful of countries that have launched 4G/LTE.
Long-Term
Evolution, or LTE, was launched in Scandinavia in 2009. It is called
‘evolution' because it eventually hopes to evolve into actual defined
4G. While this launch has put Indian on the global map, given the
partial success of 3G, there's ample room for some healthy scepticism
here.
Inaugurating the first launch in Kolkata,
Communications and IT Minister Kapil Sibal too commented on the low
penetration of 3G technology, observing that “the benefits [of 3G] are
not yet seen by the aam aadmi”.
Cost is a major
reason for this slow uptake. In a price-sensitive market like India, a
device that costs over four times that of a regular dongle is unlikely
to find a large number of takers. However, the rental costs announced
now are comparable to 3G services.
Another issue
that 3G users face is poor network coverage, something that Airtel hopes
to set right with LTE. The geographical coverage of Airtel's 4G network
is around 25 per cent, and it plans to introduce these services in
Hubli, Mysore and Mangalore.
Airtel has handed over
the task of deploying and managing its network infrastructure to Chinese
networking major Huawei, which already has a 45 per cent market share
in providing hardware services to Indian telecom operators. With an eye
on the 4G rollout, Huawei too, in recent months, has scaled up its India
operations (technology, investments and human resources) and announced
plans to set up a technology centre.
Another Chinese
firm, ZTE, is managing the device and network requirements in the
Kolkata circle, while Maharashtra is reportedly being handled by Nokia
Siemens.
Promise of 4G
Kaustav Ghosh,
adviser, PricewaterhouseCoopers, says that currently while the focus is
on retail, telcos have to also look at the enterprise businesses and
work towards the convergence of telcos and utilities such as ‘smart
homes', where you can access utility platforms such as smart meters or
operate appliances through your phone. “Areas such as education and
healthcare are where we can really make a difference if you can
penetrate rural areas,” he says.

Microsoft revamps Bing search with help from Facebook
AP/Microsoft
A screenshot provided by Microsoft shows changes to Bing's website, which will reshape how Bing displays its search results.
Microsoft announced its biggest-ever revamp of its Bing
search engine on Thursday, saying it would use information from users’
Facebook accounts to mimic how questions are answered in the real world:
by asking friends who might know.
The extensive
redesign is aimed at helping bridge the stubborn gap with Google, which
still serves some two thirds of all U.S. web searches compared to 15 per
cent for Microsoft’s Bing. Bing also powers Yahoo’s search technology,
which accounts for a further 14 per cent of searches.
Microsoft launched Bing three years ago, investing more than 6 billion dollars on the project so far, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The new Bing platform will roll out in the U.S. in the coming days,
said Microsoft executive Qi Lu, and will feature three different columns
on the page. The first column features traditional web links, while the
middle column, called Snapshot, is reserved for actions related to
those searches, such as viewing movie trailers or booking tickets. The
third panel, called “Sidebar,” will feature answers from relevant people
on Facebook and Twitter and will soon be expanded to include other
social networks such as LinkedIn.
“People are using
the Web to do things in the real world, and that’s a big change from
where things were a decade ago,” Bing senior director Stefan Weitz said.
“And so the 10 blue links that search has been predicated on for the
last decade no longer makes sense. Simply put, that’s not how you get
things done.”
