These days we simply can’t live without our computers. I don’t care what your occupation may be, you probably have a computer of some sort sitting in your home or office, or both.

It wasn’t long ago that we all had the desktops. Now, don’t get me wrong, the massive desktop computers were great. They got the job done. However, now it’s hard to praise the old dinosaurs when we have the option of laptop notebook computers. These small wonders get all of the same tasks done, but without the hassle of being restricted to one specific area, or room in the house. We have achieved Internet freedom. I love the ability of being wireless and venturing to any part of my home with my laptop notebook computer in hand. After all, what’s the point of having wireless access when your computer is stuck on a desktop. It kind of defeats the purpose.
Internet Monitoring Software for Employee Activity Tracking
The requirement of internet monitoring software is so prevalent today that even a tiny startup business cannot get away without implementing the proper tools. There is different internet monitoring software and tools available to check the online activity of employees at work, or of kids and spouses at home.
The requirement of employee tracking and internet monitoring software
Computers and the internet have radically changed the way we do business. Broadband now allows a business to find customers from other end of the continent or even from other side of the world. This in a sense gives tremendous power to the business. On the flip side, the internet is also a resource that people use to seek both good and bad things. Employees are more than likely to allow themselves to wander throughout the virtual world, mostly spending their time idly. Different internet activities that distract employees from doing their work include pornography, email and chatting, online dating and matchmaking, social networking sites like MySpace.com, legal and illegal download of music and video, online games and the list goes on.
Implications of employee internet abuse
While non-business activities can diminish the productivity of employees, a few activities can even have far reaching legal aspects. The owner of the computer resources, like the network and computer hardware, is responsible for the content stored on the system. Suppose an employee had downloaded pirated music. Without a proper internal monitoring system, the employer will be held responsible for the presence of the illegal digital content. Having a solid employee computer activity and internet monitoring tool in place can actually help point out the person who is responsible for the illegal content.
Antivirus Internet Security Basics: How Viruses Get on a Computer
Recently a computer security expert stated that the only way to keep a computer 100% safe was to never turn it on. It turns out this inaccurate and a little misleading. A computer used solely to type up and print out documents, never connected to the Internet and that never received files transferred from some other computer, could in fact be a useful 100% secure computer system. This brings us to the two main ways viruses and other malware get on a computer: through a network like the Internet and file transfers from other computers.
Users want to attach computers to the Internet and receive emails, instant messages; browse web pages, download music and fun software etc. The problem is that this puts not just millions but billions of people at their doorstep! Imagine that if billions of people could reach a home instantly – how many ill intentioned people would come by to see if the doors and windows were secured? How many con artists would knock on the door? An Internet connected computer is in just that predicament.
When a computer is connected to a network by design it starts listening for communications from the outside world. Things known as ports get created which are special “doors” to the computer. These doors are special because they each have a designated program that will answer the door if it is knocked on. Examples of programs that listen for traffic from the network include:
Why we use Silverlight Technology to develop Rich Internet Applications?
Silverlight Technology developed by Microsoft incorporates the same functionalities as Adobe flash. It helps integrate graphics, multimedia, animation, and interactivity in one runtime environment. The latest version of the technology was introduced in July 2009. The technology gels well with Microsoft windows as well as Mac operating system.
Why use Silverlight?
High definition video files can be viewed with Silverlight Technology and Microsoft will responsible for transferring these files to the Internet. The transfer of large media files is expensive but Microsoft will still take the trouble to stream Silverlight media files. However, the service will be optional. Streaming done by microsoft will save content distribution network fees for small developers. According to Microsoft, 700 kbps throughput will be reliable and the free distribution of network content will last for a year.
In addition, the applications based on Silverlight Technology are delivered to browser in XAML. The advantage of using XAML is that it is easier for the search engines to find scan XAML than compiled Flash applications. The Flash based applications have an added web code which facilitates the search but adding that means extra work for developers. Even if the web code is added to the application, the result will not be as good. This is because Silverlight Technology helps search engines index the actual application instead of just searching for the keywords.
