TechnoLibya

I am writing about this matter because a lot of users in Libya needs online payment now more then ever, people buy products, web hosting, domains, subscribe in games or advertise on the web, and recently I found out that Visa/Master card is suspended for online payment, and you can only use the ones you brought from outside to purchase online.
two of my friends one have a card from Al-Aman bank, another have a visa card from Bank of Commerce and Development  confirmed that they cannot use their cards to buy online goods and services, I am writing this and asking you to write your comment and experience, did your cards work? do you need to buy online goods but can’t have the option?

This is our gift to TechnoLibya readers, a very nice wallpaper inspired by photographer Elias Dimmu an old friend of TechnoLibya thank you Elias .

20 years ago, who would have guessed that we’d have widespread use of telephones
in our pocket that access the web, play music, take pictures and all without buttons
because their screens respond to thermal touch? Cell phone technology has
changed so rapidly since its inception that it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise to
hear about innovations that will once again revolutionize communication.

Though the iPhone 5 is merely in it conceptual phase, it will be in your pocket soon
enough. There are rumors that it will be much smaller than its predecessors and
instead of a single button to wake the screen there will be a finger print lock to gain
access to the phone. Voice control may be fully integrated instead of just a way to
make calls hands-free. What if iPhones were able to project holograms too, like a
keyboard hologram for typing?

The Samsung Galaxy Skin is a little more than a concept phone. Though there is no
official release date as of yet, there is one on the horizon. This phone will be made
out of a new substance called ‘graphene’ that is combined with carbon atom sheets
to make a liquid crystal screen. Studies out of Columbia University are claiming this
is one of the most durable materials in the world. Hit it with a rock, run over it with
your car and throw it out a moving window kind of durable. In less than a year this
may be the newest king among smartphones with an 8 mega-pixel camera, 1.2 GHz
processor and 1GB of RAM. The phone will also be flexible, like you could put it in
your wallet and fold it flexible.

Transparent phones are also in the future. Keep your eyes out for new power
sources for phone batteries too. Better and faster networks will hopefully speed
things up a bit too.

Internet services are back in Libya, not all areas but better then before, ADSL is the most stable for now and with the new 60KBps it’s perfect for getting your work done and entertainment, very nice thanks LTT, except for the following issues that in my opinion don’t take this much time it’s taking to fix.

Coverage in certien areas (Wimax).
Lack of resources instability, over crowded (Wimax).
No internet at all on ALMADAR until now (AlMadar GPRS).

But in general that’s the best we can expect for free from LTT, I can’t complain too much because I am one of ADSL subscribers, but I hope it get fixed for the rest of you using Wimax .

Information Technology (IT) is changing rapidly. Power grids, traffic
control, healthcare, water supplies, food and energy, along with most of the
world’s financial transactions, now depend on information technology. Thus, it
forms an invisible layer that increasingly touches every aspect of our lives.
Some of the companies researching cloud computing are big names in the computer
industry. Microsoft, IBM, and Google are investing millions of dollars into research.

Cloud computing is an emerging IT delivery model that can significantly
reduce IT costs and complexities while improving workload optimization and
service delivery. Cloud computing is massively scalable, provides a superior
user experience, and is characterized by new, internet-driven economics.

Cloud computing could change the entire computer industry. The present
method of installing a suite of software for each computer can be replaced with
having to load only one application. That application would allow workers to
log into a Web-based service which hosts all the programs the user would need
for his or her job. Remote machines owned by another company would run
everything from e-mail to word processing to complex data analysis programs.

Cloud computing meets the high-performance demands of the dynamic Web by
using existing infrastructures to process massive amounts of information in
split seconds.

Gartner Vice President and Analyst David Cearley listed cloud computing
as number one on his top 10 strategic technologies for 2010.

One type of cloud computing, software as a service (SaaS), is the
hosting of one software application through the internet.

This approach, in which applications and data are maintained by the
provider, paid for on a subscription basis and accessed over the Internet, has
great appeal to companies and organizations that need new software services but
don’t have the budgets, expertise, technical staffs or time to manage it
internally. Thus software outsourcing can be better option.

However, SaaS and cloud computing is becoming a reality, security is
becoming more of a concern. Detailed in the SearchSecurity.com article, Cloud
Compliance: How to Manage SaaS Risks, are the significant security risks that
are imminent if the proper precautions are not taken.

Cloud computing is a fairly new and good alternative for a lot of
organizations, but the largest area of concern for companies is how to think
through the ramifications of outsourcing all software and sensitive data in
which it is stored across data centers operated by outside vendors, such as
financial enterprise, which require security and privacy.

The following video I made in my spare time to show people how to create nimbuzz rooms and chat using a windows computer, because actually your need a cell phone to access the rooms and it’s not possible for Nimbuzz for windows.

This is my method, once you get the basics you will find other alternatives too, but it was fun to experiment and play a little with this, could help someone somewhere so here you go.

I hope you enjoyed, post any comments or questions if.

Many people suffering from weak Wimax signal and low speed, the reason is the instability of the network, the high requests compared to the resources available, but the good news is half this problems is solvable, sometimes it’s only your coverage or the problem is your closest antenna.

Here is some tips from our archive:

1. If you have a USB modem make a home dish to increase reception Click here.
2. Make sure to change your location, try near windows.
3. Use VPN, if you don’t know what that is download a program called Hot Spot Shield, it should make browsing stable.
4. Use P2P internet browsing download tor browser bundle from torproject.org
5. If you are on Wimax router put it in the upper floor or even better on the roof if you still can get wireless from there, and make sure it’s covered and protected from rain.

LTT started selling Libya Phone sim cards for the price of 120 LYD and have 100 LYD credit included, not so many people got it yet and I really don’t know the reason, maybe they stopped selling until they fix wimax troubles and lack of coverage and stability.

Features of the new sim card will be good internet connection “3G/2G ” connections available for your mobile internet, will do great on iOS, android phones and other new devices.

You can charge your phone with LTT cards the same ones for Wimax or Libya ADSL.

That’s all the information available right now, if you have something new your comments are welcome.

We all old Microsoft monkeys have and still enjoying the most recognize title of them all and since MCSE was invented we have proudly laid claim to the designation of xxEngineer, 2000 Engineer and 2003 Engineer, however I have bad news for the new comers! Don’t expect to be called engineer anymore instead you will be called an  Administrator, but hey some people don’t want to be called just like that, so Microsoft actually has reshaped the certification structure into a messy and complicated concept.

The title can be normal subject to the novice user ears but seriously it’s something that we all need to pay attention to.

In fact having firewall running into your corporate or home network can be something that will save you a lot’s of trouble.

Nowadays privacy intrusion is a big concern in IT world and Identity theft is a major risk even in the smallest chat website, and believe me anyone can be a real target just because of a simple reason which is being an Internet user, I know many people who have lost their Email credentials as result of intrusion.

Sometimes Antivirus won’t do much for saving your computer data because it looks for software or webpage activities rather that network activities, therefore you have to deploy network firewall in the top of your Antivirus to maximize protection. And the option can come in handy of you are an ASDL user using the SAGEM products which come as package to LTT subscriber.

Make sure Firewall feature turned on.
