What more about computer would you learn?

I really really want to learn how to use itune and ipod.

I have a plan to buy ipod before I leave Japan, and I want to be able to use it well.

I need someone's help.

I need the help from the person who is professional about computers.

Mr Poza!!

I need your help very much.

But, I will go back my home town as soon as I graduate from NIC.

So, I don't have enough time to learn them from you.

If I get ipod before I leave Tokyo, could you teach me how to transfer music with movies into ipod from my computer?

Also, I want to know about which cell phone I should use after going abroad to America.

I think I need cellphone even though I leave Japan because it already became necessary stuff that I can never do without it in my life.

However, I have no idea which kinds and companies are good.

So, if you know it, please tell me.

I think this blog is like a request letter for Mr Poza :)

What is the Computer Term "Viral Video"?

I guess viral video is a video that is offended by viruses, but I don't have confidence.
I quated from the internet.
The term viral video refers to video clip content which gains widespread popularity through the process of Internet sharing, typically through email or IM messages, blogs and other media sharing websites. Viral videos are often humorous in nature and may range from televised comedy sketches such as Saturday Night Live's Lazy Sunday to unintentionally released amateur video clips like Star Wars kid or Ask a Ninja.
With the proliferation of camera phones, many videos are being shot by amateurs on these devices. The availability of cheap video editing and publishing tools allows video shot on mobile phones to be edited and distributed virally both on the web by email and between phones by Bluetooth. These consumer-shot videos are typically non-commercial videos intended for viewing by friends or family.

The Computer Gift I would buy for my friends & family

If I won a lottery and plan to present computer goods for my friends,
I'll choose ipod or iphone.

Ofcourse, ipod is very popular among young people all over the world.

So, I have a confidence that nobody refuses this present when I present it.
And, iphone is not sold yet, but if it is released in Japan, I guess many people will attempt to get it, and soon it will be sold out. Moreover, people will be able not to get easily because the production of iphone cannot catch up with the demand.

If I present computer goods for my family, I absolutely choose Web camera.
Because if I go to the U.S., we family cannot communicate with watching each other's face.
It's very disappointed.

But, if I have web camera, and I give them it, we can communicate with face to face.
Also, if I am not in the U.S., for example in France, I can talk with them.
We think we need keep in touch even though wherever I am.
Therefore, Web camera is convenient and important for communicating with the person who live far away from you!!

What is the Computer Term "Net Neutrality"?

Network neutrality (equivalently "net neutrality", "internet neutrality" or "NN") refers to a principle applied to residential broadband networks which provide Internet access, telephone service, and television programming. Precise definitions vary, but a broadband network free of arbitrary restrictions on the kinds of equipment attached and the modes of communication allowed would be considered neutral by most advocates, provided it met additional tests relating to the degradation of various communication streams by others. Arguably, no network is completely neutral, hence neutrality represents an ideal condition toward which networks and their operators may strive
The term was coined in European telecommunications law around 2003[citation needed] and imported to the US as the FCC commenced consideration of re-classifying residential DSL as an Information Service, consistent with Cable Internet. Advocates didn't dispute consistent regulation, but believed that both should be regulated according to the more strict Telecommunications Service guidelines, which were traditional for services provided by telephone companies

<What is Net Neutrality?>
Network neutrality is the principle that Internet users should be in control of what content they view and what applications they use on the Internet. The Internet has operated according to this neutrality principle since its earliest days. Indeed, it is this neutrality that has allowed many companies, including Google, to launch, grow, and innovate. Fundamentally, net neutrality is about equal access to the Internet. In our view, the broadband carriers should not be permitted to use their market power to discriminate against competing applications or content. Just as telephone companies are not permitted to tell consumers who they can call or what they can say, broadband carriers should not be allowed to use their market power to control activity online. Today, the neutrality of the Internet is at stake as the broadband carriers want Congress's permission to determine what content gets to you first and fastest. Put simply, this would fundamentally alter the openness of the Internet.

Recent Computer News

The recent Computer News that I know is that Microsoft start to sell new type of personal computer, Windows Vista.

Microsoft is advertising that Windows Vista has many benefit.
1. It is easy to use
2. It is safer
3. It is better connected
4. It is more entertaining
5. It is connected for small business
6. It is efficient for small business
7. It is future ready for small business
8. It is safer for small business

There are 5 editions, ultimate, home basic, home premium, business, and enterprise.

People may think that it is much better than previous version of Window computers,
but I've hard that the characters written in Vista cannot display on previous Window computers.
Even though new computer and technology are invented, if people cannot use it side by side with previous version, it is useless.


Another news that I know is that Apple began to release new high-tech, revolutionary cellphone, iphone.
I don' t know well, but it has many convenient function that other cellphones don't have.
If you are interested in iphone please check Apple Home page .

My Favorite Web Sites

The first web site that I recommend you is Christina Aguilera 's page. Recently, I am interested in her very much, so I often look for picture or video on the Internet. Because her songs are very poweful although her height is only 158 centi meter. Also, I like her looks because she is very cute and beautiful.
I found nice movie of Christina. This web site is the promotion video of Christina's newest single,"Hurt". It seems that there is a story, but I don't know the contents exactly. So, I imagine by my self. Christina is a member of a circus, and she is very popular, but she feels loneliness behind her smile.....
Anyway, this movie is very beautiful, so if you have enough time or have some interest about Christina Aguilera, please check Hurt's promotion video.

The second web site that I recommend you is Yohoo Transportation Imformation.
It is very useful for anybody. I often use it when I want to go out with friends, or when I go back my country. It tells you accurate transportation information. You can get the valuable information that You want to get easily becasue it is ok that you just put the time when you want to go or arrive and the station name which you want to go. If you put such a few information, you can get them in a few seconds. In addition, you can also get transportation information by the internet of your cellphone. Therefore, you can travel everywhere without bringing train time table.

The third web site that I want to recommend you is Dream Girls. This is a new movie that Beyonce is acting main character. This movie get greate attention from people because it is nominated for Academy Award 2007. The story is about three girls who were exist in 1960s-1970s. Especially, it is about life of Diana Loss. The girls greamed to be famous with their song, and they made it true. In this movie, there is a big flesh face actress, and her name is Jennifer Hudson. Her talent of singing is not inferior to Beyonce. I guess this movie is very interesting. Please check the website, and Let's go to the theater!!!

What is Social Engineering ?

I have no idea about "Social Engineering", so I looked for it by the Internet.

Social Engineering is getting target's password irregally and invading the computer without harming computer itself.
According to the IT terminology dictionary, e-Words, Social Engineering is getting important information of security such as passwords by measures such as social storytelling, eavesdropping, and stealing through managerial staff of net work.
There are some adroit ways.



・ Getting password from manegerial staffs by telephone with pretending to the users or customers

・ To steal password when the target is inputting the password to the screen
with standing back

・ To install irregal software, keylogger which record the input of keyboard
and to guess the password by the record

・ To glance, memorize, and transcribe a memo which is written password or ID

I cannot imagine how to do it without being detected by police.
I think the people who can do Social Engineering are clever and smart,
but they do not use their ability wisely.

Therfore, he could be CEO of Apple and succeeded in making his company bigger.

Actually, I don't know about Mac and Apple well, but I think Apple do good job.

what I want to learn about computer.

I'm not goot at computer, so I cannot use computer well.
I don't know how to use skype or other useful function.

and he recommends Mac.
