Security in Google’s Chrome OS
What’s new with Chrome OS and opinions?
Google showed its Linux-based Chrome operating system to the world. Google does not have grand ambitions to take over PCs with Chrome. It’s a browser and cloud-based OS for netbooks designed to be fast, simple and secure. Chrome will not support hard drives, only solid-state storage, and it will only run Web-based applications. There will be no desktop-type software programs allowed.
Any application is in danger of being corrupted by malware, Chrome has been designed to reboot itself, after which a clean version of the OS is downloaded. Nearly all user data will be stored in the Google’s cloud computing service and will be encrypted and sychronized constantly between the netbook and the cloud.
Google Rides Chrome OS onto Microsoft Turf With Google working on its upcoming browser-based Chrome operating system, the company is intensifying its grudge match with rival Microsoft.
Google’s Chrome OS: What’s in it for Microsoft? Watching Google’s Chrome OS event made PCWorld’s David Coursey realize that there is a lot in Google’s OS that can benefit Microsoft – like giving it a completely new platform and one it needs.

Social Media Today
I was lucky enough to go to a Social Media Today conference last Wednesday. An instructor of mine Kelly Mullaney for Current IT Trends had invited her class to attend with her, which she is on the panel. The conference was about Social Media – blogging, and tweeting for mid-size to large companies. It was held at the Memorial Art Gallery, in Rochester. Tools to show businesses how to utilize them for their services.
There were several speakers their expressing their view on social media. Just to name a few:
Jeffrey Hayzlett, he is the Chief Marketing Officer and Vice President at Eastman Kodak Company. Ana Roca Castro she owns a development company-premier social media. Eric Majchrzak, the marketing manager of Freed Maxick & Battaglia CPAs. Nicole Black, counsel to Fiandach and Fiandach. Chris Brogan, a ten year veteran of using social media and both web and mobile technologies. Chris is a co-author of a book called Trust Agents. Which I was able to receive a signed copy of it. I look forward to reading it.
At the beginning of my Current IT Trends class I wasn’t sure about blogging and tweeting, I didn’t see the point in it. The conference was a great experience and overwheming of this tools. I now have a better understanding of them. I am now more interested and learning more and I will use them for my advantage.
Take some time and check out their Web Site and see what they are all about.

Musician Goes to Africa
Jesse Sprinkle
Here is a man who does do it all!
Jesse Sprinkle volunteers abroad. He is my neighbor and one of the kind-hearted man that I have had the pleasure to become friends with. Jesse is familiar as a local recording studio engineer who has some impressive musical credentials under his belt. You wouldn’t ordianarily picture someplace out in th Ugandan brush, building water systems for the native people. In fact, until last August Jesse wouldn’t have pictured himself over there.
But last summer Derek Joseph, who was recording at Sprinkle’s Bluebrick Studio in East Avon, offhandledly suggested that Jesse come along on an african trip.
“Yep, sure,” was his first reaction. Upon second thought, however, the idea did not seem so far fetched. “I’ve known for a couple of years that there are things bilding; that the music I do has more purpose thatn just selling records or playing in bars – not that there’s anything wrong with that,” Jesse explained.
Jesse joined The Uganda Water Project and spent two weeks in Uganda in late August and early September, helping set up the water systems.
Volunteering is a great way to give back…we all should do our part.
Web design
Web Design and creating is my passion. What is a Web Designer you ask?
Web design is the skill of creating presentations of content (usually hypertext or hypermedia) that is delivered to an end-user through the World Wide Web, by way of a Web browser or other Web-enabled software like Internet television clients, microblogging clients and RSS readers.
Web design is a kind of graphic design intended for development and styling of objects of the Internet’s information environment to provide them with high-end consumer features and aesthetic qualities. The offered definition separates web design from web programming, emphasizing the functional features of a web site, as well as positioning web design as a kind of graphic design.(source: Denis Borodayev. Web site as a Graphic Design Object. Monograph. (Бородаев Д.В. Веб-сайт как объект графического дизайна. Монография. – Х.: Септима ЛТД, 2006. – 288 с. – Библиогр.: с.262-286. ISBN 966-674-026-5)
The process of designing web pages, web sites, web applications or multimedia for the Web may utilize multiple disciplines, such as animation, authoring, communication design, corporate identity, graphic design, human-computer interaction, information architecture, interaction design, marketing, photography, search engine optimization and typography.
- Markup languages (such as HTML, XHTML and XML)
- Style sheet languages (such as CSS and XSL)
- Client-side scripting (such as JavaScript)
- Server-side scripting (such as PHP and ASP)
- Database technologies (such as MySQL and PostgreSQL)
- Multimedia technologies (such as Flash and Silverlight)
Web pages and web sites can be static pages, or can be programmed to be dynamic pages that automatically adapt content or visual appearance depending on a variety of factors, such as input from the end-user, input from the Webmaster or changes in the computing environment (such as the site’s associated database having been modified).
With growing specialization within communication design and information technology fields, there is a strong tendency to draw a clear line between web design specifically for web pages and web development for the overall logistics of all web-based services.

7 Things Web Designers Hate Hearing from Clients
Check out this link to read more, it is interesting: http://tr.im/CWsU
One of the most difficult aspects of being a web designer is dealing with clients that “just don’t get it”. In this article, we’ll discuss seven things that often make the job of web designers difficult when dealing with unreasonable demands from clients. The goal in this article is not only to identify these common situations, but also to share with you some ways to avoid them and explain to your clients why their demands can’t or won’t be met.
1. “I’m on a really tight budget and I need this done as inexpensively as possible.”
2. “I could probably figure this out myself, but…”
3. “It’s a bit boring…it just needs a bit more ‘pizzazz’.”
4. “Oh, and by the way, I’ll need this coded into a blog.”
5. “I don’t really want to [use that communication method/pay that way/have to do this your
way]. Let’s do this instead.”
6. “I need a website identical to [Example website]. It should function the same way as well.”
7. “I needed this done a few weeks ago. When can you get it done for me?”
Drawing In Point Perspective
Drawing In One-Point Perspective…this is my next project for my Graphic Design class. I have no clue to what this is and also to do a two-point perspective.
I’m trying to get some information on line at about perspective designs. Mostly all I am getting is lessons on how to do it. Since this is a subject I know nothing about I am more egar to find out more about it ahead of time i am not having much luck.
To perceive the depth perception, from the viewer’s eye to the equivalent portion of the real object it represents any difference between what is thought to be and the view of the real scene.
I am not sure now, but I will put more into learning about perspective drawings and will come up with something great.
Any opinions or advise always welcomed.
