No comments on “Most Dangerous Computer Viruses of the Century”

"Computer Virus". The term which is known to any user of computers. It makes a lot of destruction to your computer. The worst part is some viruses not only affect to your computer but also all the computers connected to your computer. This will be a chain reaction. That means the virus will affect computers that connected to your computer and all the computers that connected to the computers connected to your computer and so on.


Confused??? See below.

Let us take for example, Computer A is connected over the network to Computer B.

Now another Computer C is connected over the network to Computer B.

So when the computer A is affected, B will be affected and in turn C will get affected. Network here does not mean a local network, but also Internet. How you connected may differ. It could be a direct connection, through emails etc.

The most dangerous viruses of the century are listed below:

Jerusalem
This is a DOS(Disc Operating System) based computer virus which was detected during 1988. Jerusalem University is the first place that the virus attacked. This is the reason for the name of the virus. It affected many parts of the world including US etc.

Internet Worm
Internet worm is termed with the code name Morris. It was first detected in November 1988. This virus does nothing but transmit files from one computer to another and their by eats the entire bandwidth. So the computers connected to the network stops responding.

This virus affected more than 5000 computers including NASA computer center. This virus is so intelligent that it can pickup the passwords of the users if requires. This is one of the major security threat during the 20th century.

Melissa
This is one of the most toughest viruses detected. This virus sends the emails to all the users in the address book of the affected computer. The virus loads with the file namely "List.DiC" which is loaded with the passwords of the pornographic sites.

This virus starts affected on March 26, 1999. It was developed by a New Jersey based computer engineer, David L. Smith.

The virus will mail to all the contacts stored in the Microsoft Outlook 97/98 address book. It can also send the passwords of the users back to the creator of the virus.

I Love You

This virus is much similar to the Melisa virus in its functionalities. It was created in May 2000 by a Philippines based student. Though he caught by the Police, they could not sentence him to the prison as there were no law supporting the cyber crime in the country. It made the people to create a common organization which define the law for cyber crime cases called European Union's Global Cyber Crime Treaty.

This virus will affect from a mail with the subject "I Love You" which gave the name to the virus. It affected millions of computers in a single day which tells us the importance of the word "Love" :)

The Code Red Worm

This is one of the strange virus developed by some of the unhappy people of US system. It is developed to attack "White House" website on a predetermined date. It uses many computers across the world to flood with the requests and their by crash the website.

Indian Growth Story in Electronics Sector

The Growth Story of India

Most of the developed world thinks that India is a backward country and you can find comments to such effect spread all over the internet.  But the fact is India is one of the largest markets of consumer products in the world especially in electronics field. Indian growth rate in consumer electronic is constantly growing at a brisk pace and will remain so until next decade or so.

I will use financial terms in American dollars for the benefit of readers that India is all set to reach $20 billion target annually within a very short time in consumer electronic consumer sector. According to Consumer Electronic & Appliances Market Association (CEAMA) the apex Industry Chamber for the Consumer Electronics and Home Appliances Industry of India, consumer electronics sector in India is growing at a rapid rate and it will remain the same during next decade. 

There is no denying the fact that India did not do well in the first 2 decades after independence especially in electronics sector but its entire information source was limited to radio transmission but the story today is altogether different especially after liberalization of Indian economy in eighties. The Indian market today is full of consumer electronic items including costly mobile phones, cameras, television sets, refrigerators, air conditioners, computers etc. 

The turning point

Actually the entire revolution in electronics sector in India had started in 1965 itself but it was in initial stage. India did not start its television until 1959 that was limited to few cities but it spread considerably in seventies when it spread in several metro cities. The Asian games held in 1982 changed the entire scenario of TV viewing in India although we were still dependent on imported TV sets. Same was the story in refrigerator industry as we did not have a refrigerator manufacturing unit until Kelvinator came to India in 1960. Today we have all the popular brands manufacturing their products in India and exporting to other countries.

Today, the Indians are the largest buyers of mobile phones, refrigerators, cameras, TV sets, air conditioners, cars, washing machines and computers. India is attracting investment in manufacturing sector from all over the world. In fact super powers are trying their best for entering into Indian markets. India imports millions of mobile handsets today but the recently introduced program “Make in India” by our Prime Minister is gaining momentum and we shall soon be self sufficient in hardware sector and you all know it well that we are already undisputed kings of software sector.

7 Problems with Apple's Watch

No comments on “7 Problems with Apple's Watch”

It's been two weeks since Apple has announced their smart watch or simply - Watch, along with iPhone 6 and the release of iOS 8. Apple Watch is not yet available to the public and it is expected to hit the stores next year. While many seems to cut their teeth looking at the product online, I think it will not be a massive success. Simply because of the following reasons.

Screen-Shot-2014-09-09-at-19.51.53-500x282

1. It's not a completely innovative idea

Well, a smart watch which syncs with your smartphone is not a brand new idea. Many companies have done it before. Of course Apple has added some new and appealing features to it but still people aren't totally amazed with it (perhaps Apple fans were). Also rumours of an 'iWatch' has been around for a while. So simply putting - it is not a cutting edge new piece of technology.

2. The design choices are limited

I think there are altogether 18 or so design choices for the Watch. But that's still not good enough. I prefer Casio's G-Shock series and I will not throw it away for Apple Watch because the design of the Apple Watch is not something I want for a watch. Moreover, I prefer round dial and I don't think Apple Watch comes with round dials. Also some women, who prefers small dials, will not go for the Watch.

3. Do people actually prefer it over other watches.

I don't think people who uses Rolex, Omega and such luxury brands will switch to Apple Watch. That wouldn't make sense!

4. It's not a very efficient technological tool

I like the tapping feature of the Watch. You can customise the tapping so that you'll understand what the watch is saying even without looking at it. For instance, you are using navigation and the watch will tap you in a particular manner to tell you to turn left and in another manner to go with the right. But other features like Pictures, Customisable emojis and all feels useless and something that one wouldn't use. Seriously, who would want to browse through photos on a watch screen especially now a days when screens are getting bigger and bigger? I thought Apple Watch was about doing things quickly, even quicker than with your iPhone, And sending personalised emojis ruins the purpose, I suppose. Also users won't be comfortable using the watch while they are walking just as they don't use mobile phones (other than for phoning and texting which can't be done with Watch as easily as with the phone).

5.Charging will be a headache

Battery of the watches are supposed to last for months or even years. That is not possible with Watch, obviously. So every night you'll have to charge your watch along with your phone. And I suppose Apple will come up with a new type of cable to charge the Watch. So you'll have to carry one more piece of wire every time you travel! And you'll need one more socket to plug your watch in.

6. Only work with iOS (obviously!)

The thing is your Watch only works along with your iPhone and that's not surprising at all. So if you don't have an iPhone you don't need Watch. Also I am not sure whether the Watch supports iOS 7. If it doesn't  iPhone 4 users will not be able to use the Watch. This may not be a problem for Apple's US market where iPhone rules but for countries like India where there are still quite a number of iPhone 4 users, they'll be disappointed.

7. Not everyone wears a watch.

Some people just don't like wearing watches. So they'll just sit this one out and rather use their phone by taking it out of the pocket..Still they may use the watch for their sports activities because Watch is also designed to be a fitness assistant.

Well that being said, I do have to appreciate some of the features that comes along with the Watch. And one of the best is that Watch analyses the text of messages and gives you amazing quick reply options. For e.g. I text you "Are we having lunch at home or outside", the Watch analyses text and gives you the options "Home" and "Outside" for quick reply.I do think Apple has integrated some great features into this Watch. But I think people will find it easier to use the phone instead of a watch to get their tasks done.
