Attention convention goers. Now you can easily record contact details and trade event conversations using some of the great, new, little digital voice recorders available for you to buy. Conventions are busy, time-consuming affairs where you meet a lot of people and can gather up loads of information that could be important both personally and professionally. By using digital voice recorders, you can be sure that you will not miss out on a single important word or idea that comes up.

Whether it is a new idea for a product line, a great new way to provide quality service to your customers or an overwhelmingly innovative idea on new surgical procedures that could some day help same one of your patient’s life, you will be sure to get every intimate detail down when your are using digital voice recorders.

To do all of this, you no longer have to worry about lugging around heavy, cumbersome equipment. Digital voice recorders now come in such small, convenient sizes that you can easily throw one into your pocket, keeping it handy for instant use whenever you need it. Better still, you don’t have to worry about lugging around a bunch of space eating tapes like you used to when the only available recorders used cassettes.

And unlike those old cassette recorders, you can record for hours without every having to worry about running out of space. So if you are in the market for digital voice recorders take a look at these great little MP3s and never again miss out on important information.

The last couple of months have seen the vulnerability to your privacy dramatically increase. Anti P2P laws, the government, the police, spyware servers… Everyone wants to know more about your activities on the Internet. Everyone wants to know what you have on your pc.

What sites you visit on the Internet, how often, how long you have been using it, what programs you use etc etc…
They are trying to make laws in Europe to allow the government to sniff into your e-mails, listen to your phone calls, and thanks to other recent laws your ISP must keep all logs of your online activity…

Your privacy is being threatened on all fronts.

One of the latest programs that helps you protect yourself against “privacy sniffers hordes” is PeerGuardian2 released
by Phoenixlabs on http://wwww.phoenixlabs.org/. At this moment the latest version of PeerGuardian is 2.0 Beta 6b.
I’ll skip the boring installation instructions and just give some advice regarding effective use of PeerGuardian mainly on sharing programs such as Kazaa, Edonkey, Shareaza, DC…

You can use it in combination with socksifying (explained at http://www.proxyblind.org/tut.shtml ). Which should increase your privacy dramatically and make it very difficult to trace you. When you open PeerGuardian you will see what a simple and effective program it is.

On left side are:

• Disable - display number of blocked IP’s;
• List Manager - display number of sources used for uploading;
• Check Updates - with info about latest updating.

On right side are:

• Block HTTP - HTTP allowed or not (mean do you want to block IP during surfing through the Net or not)
• View History - Actually logs of blocked and allowed IP’s
• Clear Log - Clear your logs/history

By clicking on setting you’ll see another screen with:

• Auto-Update - You can set to check automatically for new release of PeerGuardian, aut. update of lists and time to check for update
• Logging - With setting how much lines to logs and enabling/disabling allowed connection with specify of days for removing
• Startup - To chose start of not with Windows, start minimized or not and displaying splash screen or not
• Optimalization - Normal to use IP ranges exactly as it is inside list or agressive that use a less CPU and block much more (it is explained by programs self how).

Now the most import parts. Click back on protection and click on list manager and you’ll see oversight of your list. To create list for yourself what is strongly recommended go to this URL:
http://www.bluetack.co.uk/config/sources.txt (Bluetack sources that are updated daily.) and then added every single url that you find there to your list. How?

Click on “Add” (it is if you would to download list on daily basis from internet. Create list button is for creating your own list from local sources) and type by description name of list and check URL to specify URL which PeerGuardian should check and update your list. By type it shows wether or not that IP is blocked or allow.

Repeat the same method using other URL’s, click ok and you are done. Start your sharing program (eventually socksified which should increased your privacy) and surf safe.

Where do the lines of public and private messaging cross? In an increasingly saturated Information Age, those lines become blurrier and blurrier. Even the fashionistas of Glamour Magazine have commented on how email has become a public space by simply hitting the “forward” button. In Glamour’s September 2005 issue, their Ask Jake column queried, “Do You Kiss and Email?” This article discussed the truism that more often, due to that pesky forward button, email is a public announcement.

With each touch and forward an email its subject line becomes as obtrusive as the National Enquirer’s bold screamer of a headline “Bat Boy Sighted!” The fundamental quality of the email, internet, IM is its potential binary permanence to be pondered and discussed, replied to and posted on the net. “Western history is full of …words consulted and puzzled over as if they were Scripture”(1) Email living a new life beyond it s intended recipients is an extension of what the Information Age is - being connected and staying connected.

The lure to online communication and communicating via email is its immediacy, but that too is deceiving. When the send button is hit, your message appears to instantly pass from your computer to the recipient’s inbox.

This seems instantaneous, but it really isn’t. Nearly all email messages make transitory stops along the way as they are directed by proprietary servers to their final destination. As messages arrive at each of these stops they are often stored, and sometimes copied or even scanned before being sent on. Information interception isn’t just about who forwards your message on, but is also about who may seize that message when it’s en route.

Even if an email is stored for a microsecond during transfer many emails can be classified as “stored communications” The United States Courts recognize that stored communications are subject to an “inherent loss of privacy” and can legally be read by the owner of the server on which they were stored (2). Neither the sender nor recipient has to be informed that their email message and attachment’s were read.

Utilizing strong encryption for the transmission of content largely solves this problem. If an unwanted party happens to intercept an encrypted message (unless they have somehow gotten the encryption keys) they will not be able to decipher the message. If the interceptor attempts to break any one of the commonly used encryption algorithms, they would be hard-pressed to do so within their lifetime. They would be better off trying to crack the cryptographic code in Edgar Alan Poe’s “The Gold Bug.’

If it encryption works so well why don’t more people encrypt their sensitive information? For certain types of communiqué and transactions, encryption is already used, such as with banking and purchasing online. Encryption for email and documents on the other hand has largely remained the luxury of the large enterprise businesses using Enterprise Rights Management (ERM) software and the technically elite.

At this time, due largely to complications resulting from key exchange effectively folding encryption software into ones daily workflow turns out to be quite arduous. Encryption just hasn’t been easy enough for the average small/medium sized business enterprise or individual computer user. Yet for any business enterprise no matter the size of the organization, keeping tabs on email and document communiqué is a necessity.

Implementing encryption solutions doesn’t have to be a financial burden. Rights management solutions can now be for small to medium-sized businesses or sole-proprietorships too. Small Business Rights Management(SBRM) solutions provide businesses of a smaller scale an equal level of user rights management and encryption previously available to large enterprise business.

Standard ERM or SBRM software gives content authors the power to determine how recipients may use their email and documents. For example, senders can prevent unauthorized distribution (no forwarding, printing) and prevent unauthorized editing (no cut, copy, paste) of content, i.e. copy prevention.

Email and document security is no longer simply an option for companies, it is a necessity. According to a 2005 FBI study regarding computer crime, financial losses stemming from the unauthorized distribution of digital information doubled from the year before. The study went on to specify that businesses are most concerned that confidential messages (75.7% of participants) and intellectual property (71.4%) will leave the organization via email. Couple those facts with the reality of costly user licensing charged by enterprise software solution developers, and many small business operators can be locked out due to budget constraints. This prevents them from taking advantage of best practice strategies that ensure the security of their intellectual property and the privacy of their communication.

Compliance as it concerns digital data is finally catching up to the widening commercial sector which is highly impacted by the success of small businesses.

Small firms dealing with compliance issues can turn to SBRM solutions to bridge the gap between staying current with industry regulations and staying in business. Client proofs, patient/client information, private communiqué, and proposals can stay discreet with SBRM solutions; smaller firms don’t have to worry that their email content becomes a public announcement. SBRM solutions keep it like a secret, tuning the amplitude of the message down for only its intended recipients to receive.

Camera-audio may seem a useful accessory to be implemented with no problems into one’s home surveillance camera system. One may think that this addition will improve the level of information available and support surveillance and investigations with useful knowledge and cues.

When one looks through many Catalogs of Surveillance Cameras, one can will find that many surveillance cameras have no built-in Camera-audio microphones. This is in contrast with many hand held video cameras (camcorders) readily available for personal use.

You may find however on the market, many cameras being offered for home surveillance purposes, which include a tiny microphone in their advertised features. Not a word of warning is offered by the suppliers.

It may therefore come as a surprise to find out that the mere existence of such a facility being implemented into one’s camera is against the law, at least in the USA.

The origin of this legislation, matured over years of hot debates, is centered on the fundamental right of citizens to privacy. It moved along two different paths.

One path dealt with authorizing law enforcement authorities to break the privacy of ordinary citizens when there is suspicion (in a very large sense) of criminal conduct.

The other path means to forbid individuals from spying on their unaware fellow citizen by eavesdropping and collecting audio evidence of conversations.

Normally only video imaging is considered permitted. Any breach of privacy in video records, if documented, is self evident and prosecutable. On the contrary the mere existence of audio capability in any given commercially available surveillance camera is illegal, according to strict interpretation of the law, except that in the privacy of your home you may legally monitor your own baby’s voice.

This law may not be compulsory in every country, but, given the increasing globalization of tendencies and technological trends, the matter should be checked anywhere, if necessary, with legal advice.

Notwithstanding law requirements, it is a fact that such surveillance equipment is publicly advertised and available from many stores, and it is possible that customers are not advised of legal restrictions applicable.
With the elimination of Camera-audio, the subject of home surveillance video is simplified in this respect because there is no more need for a separate channel of transmission and transformation of audio signals.

We publish these notes as we believe it is important that homeowners be alerted in advance of the legal implications of their decisions in implementing home surveillance Camera-audio so that they can independently investigate their own specific case.

Antivirus application usually monitors the system memory (RAM) and controls operations with files (such as execution and opening). Whenever antivirus sees a behavioral pattern similar to virus activity, the software either stops the process, removes the threat, or informs the PC user of the detected virus infection. It is a common misconception that a good antivirus is enough for safe online browsing and networking. Antivirus is not enough. It doesn’t matter what antivirus you’re using and what brand name stands behind it. Do not be misled by marketing promises. There are no ‘best antivirus software’ simply because each PC and user’s activity is different. Alerts are critical so that if someone else uses Bill’s computer and loads spyware/malware you find out immediately.
