Taking the Focus Off the Hardware

Thursday, July 1, 2010

IT companies in Korea have built up a strong reputation over many years as excellent hard¬ware manufacturers, especially in the field of memory and flat panel displays. But the Ko¬rean software industry has always been lag¬ging behind. While there are some game com¬panies in Korea that have a portion of international mind-share, useful software applications are not nor¬mally Korea’s forte.

Standing Outside the Great Firewall of China

Saturday, May 1, 2010

Google stands today outside the wall, the Great Firewall of China. It is no longer a privileged citizen of the Empire, but now just another barbarian at the gates. Its business relationships are altered, its search results are blocked and its reputation has irrevocably changed. Whether that reputation has changed for the better or worse is the question now. But Google didn’t really have a choice to make.

Importance of Data Backup and Restoration

Thursday, April 1, 2010

Computers and data storage have come a long way since computers were invented. Data is generated in huge volumes by innumerable individuals and companies. It is not always possible to make hard copies of all that goes on in a computer. A backup of all the data, whether it is from banks, utilities, educational institutions, businesses or personal work, is imperative. On a small scale, data can be backed up on CDs and flash drives apart from the hard disk drives. These are far more evolved than the punch cards, magnetic tapes and floppy disks used some years back.

Connecting Remote Areas with Wi-Fi

Monday, March 1, 2010

Technology has made our lives so dependent on the Internet that we can’t even imagine spending an entire day without our valuable connection. But people living in remote areas don’t have access to amenities such as an Internet connection, and they lose out on both the basic and good things in life.

Impact of Nanotechnology on the Asia-Pacific Region

Monday, March 1, 2010

The term nanotechnology conjures up something very small in size to be measured in the range of nanometers. It is the engineering of functional systems at the molecular scale, according to popular definitions given by experts in the field.

When the technology became popular two decades ago the aim was to build machines as small as possible or just a few nanometers wide. Scientists and engineers wanted to make motors, robot arms and even computers on a molecular scale. This was considered to be weird and only later did the technology gain some acceptance.

Industrial Robotics in Asia

Monday, March 1, 2010

Great advances in science and technology have ensured that humans need not do anything on their own, especially with automation entering all facets of human life. Industrial robots are becoming increasingly popular all over the world and are responsible for decision making as well as controlling motion, something which was not possible a few years ago. Given the fact that these industrial robots can do mechanical tasks with the same consistent results and without feeling bored, it is obvious that they are the biggest marvels of today.

Information Imperialism vs. The Information Curtain

Increasing Role of Managed Services

Monday, March 1, 2010

1. Introduction:

VAS The Emerging Service Mantra for Indian Telcos

Monday, March 1, 2010

A recently-launched commercial from a leading mobile communications provider inspired me to think about the immediate possibilities of mobile value added services in India. A rural woman bargains with a “machiwala” (fish seller). At the end of a typical bargaining drama and the deal following, she picks up the mobile phone from her bosom and presses a few buttons and asks him with a casual look, “Did you get it?” The machiwala picks up his phone lying in the mutilated fish and replies in a contented manner, “Yes.” The money is in his account.

An Optimistic Look into Mobile VoIP

Tuesday, December 1, 2009

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) refers to a technology for delivering voice communications over Internet Protocol (IP) networks rather than the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). To facilitate an Internet call, the analog voice signal is first converted into digital format and then compressed into IP packets for transmission over Internet. The process is then reversed at the receiver point.

Mobile VoIP, abbreviated as mVoIP, is an extension of VoIP to mobile devices. Mobile VoIP is currently meant for customers who are always on-the-go and want to make long distance calls. The technology is gaining popularity primarily due to the cost benefits offered to residential and business customers for making international calls.

IPv6 - What is it, Why is it Important, and Who is in Charge?

Tuesday, December 1, 2009

1. What is IPv6?

“IP” is the Internet Protocol, the set of digital communication codes which underlies the Internet infrastructure.  IP allows the flow of packets of data between any pair of points on the network, providing the basic service upon which the entire Internet is built.  Without IP, the Internet as we know it would not exist.

Combating Phishing Attacks

Tuesday, December 1, 2009

 

Passwords to more than 10,000 Hotmail accounts were recently posted online. This is not the lone phishing scheme in recent months as hackers continuously ‘phish’ for personal, sensitive information.

 

Phishing or brand spoofing is a technique used by hackers to gain access to vital information from gullible Internet users. Hackers are cyber criminals who fool users into revealing information about themselves such as bank account numbers, passwords, credit card data and other financial data.

State of Korean Website Design

Sunday, November 1, 2009
Korea is the land of 99 percent Internet connectivity for its citizens. However, it is also the land of ugly websites. Its sad to say, but it is true. It is as if most Korean web designers opened up a book of best practices in website design, went down the list, and did the opposite of every single suggestion. Confusing, flash-based menus, unnecessary blinking, extremely small fonts and a million links on one page hurt the eyes.

Eight Reasons Why Web-based Training May Not Work For Your Company

Sunday, November 1, 2009

Web-based training or e-learning allows individuals to easily access education through the web from anyplace at anytime they want. Many companies see these programs as cost-effective alternatives to training a large number of employees in-house. Essentially, these types of training programs need efficient computer network technologies to develop, manage and administer training to employees in organizations. WBT is a lucrative field and many established companies like Oracle have come forward to tap the revenue opportunities it offers.

Adoption of Health IT Systems in Asia: A Long Road Ahead

Sunday, November 1, 2009
U.S. President Barack Obama has created a storm with a new bill that is encouraging hospitals in the country to digitalize healthcare.

Cloud Computing Possibilities

Sunday, November 1, 2009
Cloud computing is the process of accessing and using a computing application via a Web browser. While the hosting company takes care of the hardware, software and support services of the entire application or platform, the user simply pays the 'rent' for using it over a period of time. Users need not have the knowledge or expertise of the technology they are using, but they can customize them according to their needs.
