The hole is in a technology known as router advertisements, in which the routers send their IPv6 addresses to help customers find and connect to an IPv6 subnet. "For Windows, a personal firewall or similar security product does not protect against this attack, as the default filter rules to allow these packets through," Heus said. The DoS attack is to flood the network segment randomly RAS, consuming CPU resources in Windows until the CPU is overloaded and the hard reset.

He noted that Microsoft has not issued a security warning to users of advice. Heus became so frustrated by the refusal of Microsoft to fix the hole, which published its findings to the full list of release, April 15. Other experts on the Windows network and security have also asked Microsoft to resolve this issue, and sources have said that there are people inside Microsoft who have tried to pressure the company into action.

Microsoft has little to say about it. "Microsoft is aware of the debates in the security community in a technique whereby a server or Windows workstation into a destination network can spontaneously lead to high utilization of resources caused by an advertisement attacking the transmission of IPv6 router . The method of attack described above requires a potential attacker has access to local access network to the goal – a situation that provides a safe limit, "said a spokesman for Microsoft Network World.

This is different from Apple's practice of recording the location of repeaters andiPad oniPhone visible devices, which can lead to more than one year of data that are easily recordable. Microsoft, however, tells the story of this position is not stored on the device. Google's approach, however, only saves the positions of recent years on Android phones.

For the privacy of mobile software companies are under control after extensive research at a conference last week in Santa Clara, California, described in detail as a place to register the iPhone works. A report published by CNET, however, showed that police and forensic examiners had been informed and based on the undocumented feature of at least last year.

According to a Web page in the "Help and How-To" in your Windows, Microsoft has developed a database with the "place of mobile cell towers and access points Wi-Fi" to a device mobile can determine its position more quickly and with less energy, if the GPS was only used. Based solely on GPS have a negative impact on mobile users to increase data rate and battery drain, "says the company.

(Microsoft says that in the case of Windows 7 by phone, location information is transmitted to the server when Wi-Fi and location services are enabled. Privacy Concerns began to emerge as a unique device ID is transmitted, which allows a company to a client's permanent record for an extended period of time. randomization frequency ID device could alleviate some concerns. He stressed that provides a global switch to turn off all location-based services.).

One of the privacy concerns is that the database location can be a goldmine for the parties to the civil police or request information, cell phones location of wireless telecommunications has become a staple of criminal investigations often without a warrant are treated. We do not know how many times the legal requirements for these records were sent to Microsoft, which said he could not answer that question immediately, or if his lawyers to request a search warrant signed by a judge.

Although the police take the positions of thousands of mobile phones a year contact with AT & T, Verizon Wireless and other mobile operators, the basic legal rules are unclear, and federal laws on the protection of personal information by writing it a generation, are the best ambiguous. The Department of Justice, Obama said it is necessary to ensure the historical location information, a request rejected by a coalition of companies like Google and Microsoft but not Apple. (CNET is the first report on the warrantless surveillance of cells in 2005.).

Google has confirmed that gathers information about the location of Android, but downplayed privacy issues, saying the information is not attributable to a specific user. "It has not yet responded to questions last Friday. Apple has acknowledged (PDF) in Congress last year that" the cell tower and the point of Wi-Fi access to information "is" intermittent "stacked and sent to Apple "every 12 hours, but declined to elaborate.

In fact, on a valuation basis, if you are able to buy Apple for $ 320 – $ 330 per share last week, will be the equivalent of the population of about $ 100 in March 2009. However, even if Apple is trading at less than half its expected growth rate in five years, you can always ask why the fields of history even matter? Why Apple's stock to trade within its historical range of 18-24? Why trade between 10-15 as Microsoft (MSFT), Cisco (CSCO), Intel (INTC) and IBM (IBM)?.

A 270 per share, Apple's market capitalization would be 248.7 billion U.S. dollars. However, after running on Apple to $ U.S. 81 billion in cash, the trading company to an enterprise value of $ U.S. 167 700 000 000 – in theory, the price would need to buy business pure and simple. This compares with 180 billion U.S. dollars of Microsoft value of the company. This does not sound like much until you consider Apple's cash, cash generation, market capitalization and earnings expectations ahead.

But not only Apple posts nearly double Microsoft's revenue is also growing at a rate that is three to four times greater than that of Microsoft, and Microsoft has four times the capacity of cash. Apple could also trade in the vicinity of the value of the company Google (GOOG), despite recording more than four times earnings and cash flow with four or five times more than Google – not to mention much higher growth 17% of Google.

I thought it was a very interesting article that really should increase the stock of Apple fanbois, but with all the numbers, there is no real risk that stocks trading higher than some analysts' target prices. $ 420 seems very high for a title that is fighting to keep $ 330.

Adobe Apple should be happy not purchased with petty cash and sold half of Microsoft. Adobe uses Apple's WebKit open and free MPEG-4 (QuickTime Apple standards) and Adobe helped write, but still HTML5 Flash is closed. The race is not even close. @ Stephen: there will be a quarter of a billion mobile devices iOS first quarter of a billion mobile devices FlashPlayer. Their energies would be better spent in promoting open Adobe Flash in order to be universal. Apple has every right to not use Adobe products in their products.

IE9 received favorable reviews, and Microsoft seems to have silenced his critics, who beat the poor performance, low security and lack of compatibility with Web standards that plagued earlier versions of the browser. However, version 9 has everything you need to stop the slide the long run IE? The company recommends that users are very interested in competing browsers, or at least curious, IE9.

running IE6, the browser remains popular in Asia. In China, for example, Internet Explorer 6 has a 33.8 percent stake, according to Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 sites below. If IE9 help reverse sliding market share of Microsoft, its impact is likely to be tempered by an aggressive campaign to rid the world of Redmond, Internet Explorer 6, the company's notoriously insecure browser for 10 years, still had a share of 11.6 percent in March. While less than 3 percent of Internet users in the U.S.
