Microsoft’s new free Anti-Virus Revealed

Eto na yung pinakahihintay ko mula noong nagsawa ako sa kanilang huling AntiVirus na napaka boring at walang madetect na Windows Live OneCare.

Ang tawag na ngayon nila dito ay “Microsoft Security Essentials” A.K.A Microsoft Morro. Hindi tulad nung OneCare, ito ay magiging libre para sa lahat. Pero sa ngayon, nasa testing stage palang sila at puro mga employado palang ng Microsoft nakaka-test nito.

May nagleak naman kahit papaano na Installer nito at mga screenshots sa http://www.jcxp.net/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=35080&view=findpost&p=392154 at mukhang Windows Defender siya sa unang tingin na may nakakalokang kastilyong logo

May nakapagtest ng kanyang performance at hindi naman siya mabigat sa memory except sa Hard Disk space. Nandito ang resulta ng kanyang test: http://www.jcxp.net/news.php?newsid=2804

Pag naging final na ang release nila dito – mga katapusan pa daw nitong taon – bale isa ako sa mga unang susubok at magbibigay-review dito.

Happy Independence day sa lahat!!

Bale 111 years na ata tayong nakalaya mula sa mga kastila!! (lang)

Bale heto yung mga importanteng nangyari at dapat ALAM ng bawat Pinoy sa mundo pero majority ignorante tunkol dito kaya sinama ko na ito.

• Ipinolkama ni Heneral Emilio Aguinaldo sa kanyang mansyon sa Cavita el Viejo (Kawit) sa harap ng maraming tao mga bandang alas 4-5 ng hapon
• Iwinagayway ang ating bandila(siguro naman alam niyo na itsura nun) habang pinatutugtog ang Marcha Filipina Magdalo (Lupang Hinirang) ni Julian Felipe at tinugtog ito ng San Francisco de Malabon Marching band. Wala pa siyang mga lyrics.

Additional Info mula sa Wikipedia (May mga ‘citations’ yan kaya reliable ung info)

The Act of the Declaration of Independence was prepared and written by Senior Ambrosio Rianzares Bautista in Spanish, who also read the said declaration. A passage in the Declaration reminds one of another passage in the American Declaration of Independence. The Philippine Declaration was signed by ninety-eight persons, among them an American army officer who witnessed the proclamation. The proclamation of Philippine independence was, however, promulgated on the 1st of August, when many towns had already been organized under the rules laid down by the Dictatorial Government of General Aguinaldo. The final paragraph states that there was a "stranger" (stranger in English translation — etranger in the original Spanish, possibly meaning foreigner) who attended the proceedings, Mr. L. M. Johnson, described as "a citizen of the U.S.A, a Coronel of Artillery".

KAYA…Tignan naman natin kung ano itsura ng mga sikat na websites ngayon…

google.com.ph- syempre google style!

Sa Yahoo! Philippines naman…Huwaw animated!!!

Eh sa bing.com.ph (Dating Windows Live Search)naman…BOOORING!!!

 

Syempre hindi tayo mawawala sa wikipedia!

Isinabay rin ata ng WordPress ang bagong bersyion ng platform nila sa araw ngayon! – yung 2.8 Kaya yung may mga self-hosted blogs dyan, alam niyo na gagawin niyo!

Eh pano kung hindi nangyari yang June 12 na yan, PERO naging probinsya tayo ng Espanya?? Eh di:

• Ganun pa rin kasi hindi natin kontrolado yung pag-atake ng mga ‘Kano laban sa mga teritoryo Espanya mga bangang 1890’s. Susugurin nila tayo at tiyak magkakaroon pa rin ng Battle of Manila Bay – May galit kasi yung mga ‘kano sa mga Kastila noong panahon kaya susugurin pa rin nila tayo.
• Magtatapos pa rin ito sa isang kasunduan tulad ng Treaty of Paris.
• Mapupunta rin tayo sa mga Amerikano – ganun rin!!
• Naisip ko lang..hehe

Basta ienjoy niyo lang itong araw na ‘to while it lasts. At be optimist muna hah! saka na muna mga con-asses na yan at iba pa. hehe!

Oops…!

Kanina lang, bubuksan ko sana ang admin ng isang site ko sa labas na icarus.site90.com pero ito ang lumitaw:

Which means either may nagbura o binura. Isa lang ang gagawin ko para malaman kung ano talaga nangyari: puntahan ko yang www.000webhost.com na yan at mag-login sa account ko, PERO:

 

HINDIHINDIHINDIHINDIHINDIHINDIHINDIHINDIHINDIHINDI!!!!!!!

NOO!!!!

Gets mo? kung hindi naman isipin mo nireformat(binura lahat ng files) ang PC mo ng walang backup!!

Hindi mo pa gets? isipin mo lahat ng kanta sa iPod mo nacorrupt!!

Hindi mo pa rin gets!?? Isipin mo nalang nasunog lahat ng paperworks mo both sa iskul at sa office!!! waa!!

 

Pero bakit nga pala nila ginawa yun sa akin??? Tinignan ko yung TOS nila…AT so far mukhang hindi ko naman siya direktang nilalabag maliban sa mga linyang ito:

000Webhost membership will be revoked if any of the following activities occur:

Sadyang tinanggap ko na ang munting site na iyun at mamimis ko siya ng lubusan::huhu!

Kaya gumawa nalang ako ng bago – naghanap ako ng bagong malilipatan at magsimula ulit lahat mula sa scratch – ang hirap nun huh!

pero pagdating sa paguupdate madali na siya kasi wordpress-based siya.

FINALE: Gulak nalang kay Icarus II hehe

PAHABOL: Ang HIRAP maghanap ng libreng Webhosting na may ganito para gumana WordPress offsite: PHP, SQL, Fantastico & GB+ bandwidth. Wala pa akong pera sa net eh.

Apple vs Microsoft, may nangyayari nah hah!

Ang Apple Inc. daw ngayon ay medyo natatalo at kinikilabutan na sa mga kinikilos ng kanilang pinaka mortal na kalaban, ang Microsoft.

Medyo nagpapalusot nga sila sa kanilang WWDC noong isang araw, heto yung sinasabi sa JCXP:

Windows 7 isn’t even on store shelves yet, and Apple is already taking a few preemptive measures to hinder its image. While announcing their Snow Leopard update at WWDC today, Bertrand Serlet, Senior VP of Software Engineering at Apple, took the stage and decided to use the opportunity to try and take a few swings at Windows 7.

"What a big hole Microsoft has dug" (refering to Windows Vista), "they’re trying to get out of it with Windows 7."

Serlet then went on to say that Windows 7 introduces "even more complexity" because it’s based on the "same old tech as Vista" and still makes use of items such as the system registry and disk defragmentation.

That’s right Apple, be affraid, be very affraid.

We know, you know, and everyone on Twitter who was laughing at your feeble attempt knows that Windows 7 is infact a dramatic upgrade over Windows Vista and that it is going to create some serious competition for you.

In the end, you only hurt your own image and made yourselves look like fools today, Apple. Next time you hold an event, stick to focusing on the strengths of your own products for once.

pic from Engadget

At mukhang minamaliit ni Paul Thurrott (isa siyang expert na laking Microsoft) yung mga pinag-gagagawa ng Apple:

Apple is providing its WWDC 2009 keynote address today, providing some interesting info about its Mac and iPhone platforms. But this is Apple we’re talking about. So it’s time for a reality check.

75 million Mac OS X users. Apple claimed that the OS X user base magically jumped from 25 million to 75 million active users in two years. But it didn’t. It jumped to 35 million users. The other 40 million are using iPhones and iPod touches. So if there are 1 billion active PC users (and that’s an old figure), than OS X usage share right now is 3.5 percent. Everyone’s onboard with the math, right? 3.5 percent. "No wonder everyone is trying to follow in our footsteps," Apple SVP Phil Schiller said. Right.

heto ang favorite ko:

Macbooks magically become Macbook Pros. Apple rebranded the 13-inch Macbook as the Macbook Pro and added SD slots across the line-up. FINALLY. I’ve only been asking for this handy little feature for, what, 6 years? The batteries are non-replaceable. I’m pretty sure no one was asking for that feature. And they added Firewire 800. Seriously, how about two more USB ports? Oh, and $1699 to start for a lowball 15-inch unit? To Mac guys, this is big news.

Hypocrisy around Vista/7 and Leopard/Snow Leopard. This year, both Microsoft and Apple are working on revisions to existing OSes. In Microsoft’s case, Windows 7 is a nice revision to Windows Vista. And Snow Leopard is a minor revision (service pack) to Mac OS X Leopard. Both Windows Vista and Leopard have had their share of problems, but Vista’s are more high profile and thus, apparently, news to the wider world. But look how Apple’s Darth Vader, Bertrand Serlet, describes these updates:

Windows 7: "Even more complexity is present in Windows 7. The same old tech as Vista. Just another version of Vista."

heto pa ang mga magagandang linya niya (para sa mga pro-microsoft):

Snow Leopard: "We come from such a different place. We love Leopard, we’re so proud of it, we decided to build upon Leopard. We want to build a better Leopard, hence Snow Leopard."

Um. They sound the same to me. Jerk.

For the record, Snow Leopard looks just fine to me. It should, after three years of development on a point release.

Exchange support in Snow Leopard. Apple makes fun of Microsoft to comic effect (see above) … Unless, of course, they need Microsoft. Which they do, to add Exchange support to its products. Oh, wait. "With Exchange support built into Snow Leopard, there is no extra charge for Mac OS users while Windows users usually have to pay extra." There it is.

Heto ang champion!!! hehehe:

Safari 4 today for OS X, Windows. Yawn.

QuickTime X for OS X, Windows. Actually, this looks good. I especially like how the UI looks like no other OS X app. Nice consistency there from the HIG.

Mac OS X is not fully 64-bit. While Windows users get 64-bit versions of Windows, Mac OS X users will, in Snow Leopard, get an OS in which most of the system is 64-bit, but many "non-major system apps" are still 32-bit.

Snow Leopard pricing. Apple is finally charging the right price for the latest in a long list of minor upgrades: $29 to Leopard users. This is exactly right, and should serve as inspiration for Microsoft. Seriously.

iPhone 3.0. The iPhone is really popular, and let’s face it, it’s awesome. iPhone 3.0, which I’ve been using since February, is a very minor update, and mostly adds things that should have been there in the first place. Biggest disappointment: Apple is adding tethering, but AT&T refuses to allow it. Hey, AT&T. F#$% you. Yeah. Really.

Apple needs to tone down the boring stuff. Look guys, here’s another iPhone app. We get it. Move along, please.

iPhone 3G S. Was curious what they were going to call the iPhone 3, since the iPhone 3G was the iPhone 2.0. Now we know. Built in 7.2MBps HSDPA for data. New camera (finally). But same form factor. (Which makes sense, given the add-on market, but lacks a certain pizzazz.) I mean, where could they go with this, really? Anyway: Pricing is $199 (16 GB), $299 (32 GB). Surely there’s an upgrade program for existing users. [Cricket chirps.]

Voice Control. (3GS only.) Apple copies Microsoft Sync, no one notices. And by the way, the notion of talking to a smart phone should be obvious. Just saying.

Mukhang natatalo na ng microsoft ang apple ah!? Nagpapalusot lang sila sa mga pagmamaliit ng nila sa Microsoft, kaya ayan, no match tuloy sila sa mga sinabi ni Paul Thurrott at ng JCXP. Hehehehe! Mukha lang…at least proud ako na ”I’m a PC” noh!

Pwedeng patest naman nito?

Since malapit na matapos bakasyon ko (natin, kung ikaw ay isang college student etc [at naextend pa nga diba..?]), medyo puro Visual Basic programming ang pinaglalaruan ko noong mga nakaraang araw. Ayan tuloy may mga nagawa akong mga programs hehe!

LightSabre – A simple and portable utility that can do the following:

• Enables Folder Options Dialog Box, Task Manager and Registry Editor.
• Enables and disables Autorun on all drives and the CrashOnCtrlScroll* key.
• Scan for and delete autorun.inf file on all drives.

Download LightSabre

STRING-2-HEX – A small application that converts the entered string into its ASCII equivalents on base 16 (hexadecimal) and vice versa.

Download STRING-2-HEX

You’ll need to download the .NET Framework 2.0 for them to work but if you’re running on Vista or higher then 100% you already have it

*BTW CrashOnCtrlScroll key is a registry entry when enabled, forces the Windows system to crash itself and display a BSOD. Very useful to debuggers and troubleshooters who know Mark Russinovich’s way of troubleshooting hard hangs, etc.

Pwede niyo bang i-test niyo sila sa mga PC’s niyo kasi nai-test ko na sila sa PC ko eh? Paki tignan kung may lilitaw na bugs/errors-kung meron paki sabi nalang sa akin ng detalyado. Maliliit lang sila mga wala pa sa 50,000 bytes sila. Nakapost rin sila sa aking ‘yavinfour software site’

Ano Ok ba??? MARAMING SALAMAT PO!! ng marami!

Windows 7 is near!

IT IS NOW OFFICIAL!!!
Announced yesterday, Microsoft revealed that it will complete development of Windows 7 in late July and then make the system broadly available to customers on October 22, 2009. (This is called General Availability, or GA). This date is one week later than what my sources previously told me (October 15, 2009.)

I love touchscreens

Oo nga! mahilig ako sa mga touchscreens. Mula nung maliit pa ako nilalaro ko na yung mga touchscreen na kiosks sa Glorietta pag nagshshopping kami. At ngayon, medyo nagsasawa na ako sa ganung experience. Luma na kasi yun eh kaya to the next level naman ako. Single touch lang yung mga ganun as in pang isang daliri lang kaya nila kaya ang gusto ko na ngayon eh yung multitouch na may object recognition (azteeg!-yun tipong pag nagpatong ka ng camera sa kanya eh iloload niya yu automatically).Ang pinakagusto ko ngayong maexperience eh yung Microsoft Surface(nagagawa niya lahat ng mga sinabi ko kanina). Last year pa yun nilabas pero wala pa akong nakikitang ganun dito mismo sa Pinas . So far hanggang mga videos ko pa lang siya nakikita.

Ishare ko lang sa inyo itong post sa Windows 7 blog. Tungkol siya sa irerelease na programs sa Windows 7 na may Multi-Touch:

Introducing the Microsoft Touch Pack for Windows 7

At Wall Street Journal’s D: All Things Digital conference about a year ago today, Julie Larson-Green first introduced Walt Mossberg to Windows 7 and its multi-touch capabilities, which we call Windows Touch. While we’ve been working on bringing natural user interface to you in many Microsoft products, we first introduced multi-touch in Microsoft Surface. Since then, the Windows and Surface development teams have been collaborating closely on bringing multi-touch to Windows, and last year demoed a few applications they created to run on Windows 7. Today, we thought it would be fitting on this “anniversary” of first talking about Windows Touch to introduce the Microsoft Touch Pack for Windows 7.

While touch is built into the “DNA” of Windows 7, something that was talked about in the Touching Windows 7 blog post on the E7 Blog, we thought it would be fun to give you some applications that show what’s possible with this new way to interact with your PC. The Microsoft Touch Pack for Windows 7 is a set of six multi-touch optimized applications and games that are designed to truly showcase the capabilities of Windows Touch in Windows 7. It consists of 3 casual games, and 3 Microsoft Surface applications that have been created for Windows 7.

Let’s take a closer look at what’s in the Microsoft Touch Pack for Windows 7…

Microsoft Surface Globe pretty much puts the whole world in your hands (well, kind of!). It uses the Virtual Earth 3D engine to display a 3D version of the world. Using multi-touch, you can navigate to different regions, get local information, and “pin” your favorite locations. You can even “fly” around 3D models of buildings in some cities. The Microsoft Surface Globe was one of the apps Julie Larson-Green demoed at last year’s D: All Things Digital conference. To see the Microsoft Surface Globe app in action – take a look at this video.

Take your favorite digital photos and arrange and resize them using only your fingertips with Microsoft Surface Collage! Once you have your photos in an arrangement you like, it’s simple to save your collage and make it your desktop background. I’ve made a whole series of backgrounds and cycle through them with the desktop slideshow.

Microsoft Surface Lagoon is a screensaver that you can interact with using multi-touch. It recreates the natural environment of water and schooling fish. It is really relaxing to run your fingers through the “water” and hold your finger down and watch the fish gather around.

Solve a puzzle game of physics, called Microsoft Blackboard, by creating a nifty machine on a virtual blackboard. Use gestures to rotate and resize gears, fans, seesaws and more to move balloons and balls toward the light bulbs – and victory.

Use your fingers to propel a ball and annihilate your opponent in Microsoft Rebound. Play against the computer or challenge a friend and battle it out in the electrified court to see who the champion is.

Finally, with Microsoft Garden Pond, you can guide your origami creations to peaceful areas on the pond or direct them with gestures to complete goals that have been set for you. Gently move the origami by making ripples in the water.

In order to use the Microsoft Touch Pack for Windows 7 – you’ll need a Windows 7 PC that supports multi-touch. The Microsoft Touch Pack for Windows 7 will be available to PC makers (OEMs) who will have the option to pre-install some, none, or all of the applications available in the Microsoft Touch Pack for Windows 7 on PCs designed for Windows Touch (PCs that meet the logo requirements for Windows Touch) – so you should start to see these applications showing up on some touch PCs around the time Windows 7 is made broadly available. After general availability of Windows 7, we will look at making the Microsoft Touch Pack for Windows 7 even more broadly available based on feedback from customers and partners.

The Microsoft Touch Pack for Windows 7 is a great example of immersive experiences software developers can create for Windows 7 and multi-touch. We thought now would be a good time to share what some of the team has been working on – and give you folks a glimpse into what’s possible – and we look forward to continuing this conversation as the touch community grows.

Ang sarap nilang paglaruan! Ang tanong: kailan kaya natin masusubukan???

Windows Protects itself!!

Noong April Fools day medyo ilang buwan nang nakakaraan, may nakita akong April Fool’s day special post sa http://blogs.zdnet.com/igeneration/?p=1378 at heto ang laman niya

Windows 7 includes anti-idiot feature

Microsoft confirmed this morning a new feature installed in Windows 7 Enterprise editions, ensuring the protection and security of the operating system. Dubbed “ProtectOneself”, Windows monitors the activity of the system and prevents certain events from occurring if unsuitable behaviour is detected.

From the latest available build, 7068, you can see from the screenshot below, in true UAC style, how the system works:

I can see how students could benefit from this new feature, as many a time I’ve been to electronically submit an essay or fire off an email, whilst completely plastered. By using mouse movement recognition, similar to previous versions by evening out erroneous mouse moments, and a new keyboard algorithm to monitor slurred writing patterns, Windows can prevent you making mistakes by declaring you a “danger to yourself”.

A Microsoft spokesperson was already having trouble working around this new feature when they turned up to work drunk late yesterday afternoon. She hailed the new feature as “awesome”, just before she passed out.

April Fools…

HAHAHAHAHAh!!! tawa lang ako ng tawa nang mabasa ito! Natanong ko tuloy sa sarili ko “Mukhang maganda ba pag meron talaga nito sa totoong buhay??” “Mukhang ang angas ngang pang gag*!!”

Naghanap muna ako sa internet kung may totoo ngang ganito…eh wala

Kaya sinubukan kong gayahin siya:

 

May screen akong nilagay sa likod para walang takas yung user. Inabot ako ng halos isang buwan dahil medyo paputol-putol yung paggawa ko noon. Bale nahasa yung skills ko sa programing dahil dito!

at ayan na nga gawa lang sa Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition.

Eto ang ginagawa niya:

1. Lilitaw ang message na iyan at pipilitin ang gumagamet na itype ang kanyang password
2. Hindi mo siya macacancel
3. Pag nai-type na ng user ang password tatanungin ulit siya kung sure ba siya sa sagot niya
4. Pag na-OK na isasave niya ang password sa file na “file.file” sa My Documents para makita niyo yung password. Kung hindi niya na OK balik siya sa simula at mangungulit siya hanggang matype na niya ang password.
5. Ayun exit na siya! tapos!

In short mangungulit siya na hindi mo DAW magagamit ang Windows dahil wala ka DAW sa maayos na katinuan at kailangan mo lang itype ang password para mapatunayan na ok ka pa DAW.

Pwede niyo siyang matry o kaya manloko ng tao. Madodownload niyo siya dito:

version A:

direct download: Protectoneself.exe

alternate: https://cid-3a19d15ee4ec0fae.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Software%20created%20by%20ME/Protectoneself.exe

version B (maliit ang size):

direct download: protectoneself2.exe

alternate: https://cid-3a19d15ee4ec0fae.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Software%20created%20by%20ME/protectoneself2.exe

Kailangan niyo nga lang ng .NET Framework 2.0 pero wala nang problema kung Vista o 7 yung ginagamit ng gagaguhin niyo.

Para manloko ng isang user pwede mo itong gawin sa PC niya

• illagay ang program na ito sa “startup” na folder sa Start Menu > All Programs para magrun at lumitaw ang program sa kada bukas ng user sa kanyang kompyuter.
• pwede ka rin gumawa ng shortcut sa desktop (tulad ng “shortcut to internet explorer”) pero sa protectoneself ang “target” ng shortcut. gets?
• Iskedyul mo ito gamit ang Scheduled Tasks sa Control Panel mo para magrun sa isang specific na oras.
• Siyempre piliin mo yung lolokohin mo..yung konti lang alam sa kompyuter.
• Marami pa ehh…be creative ka nalang…

Ipopost ko din ito sa bagong software website ko sa http://icarus.site90.com sa yavinfour software.

Guys this is just a prank software.

Huwaw! nai-tatagalog na si WordPress!

Tignan niyo yung ranking sa ng tagalog sa http://translate.wordpress.com/rankings.php

Angbilis!!! sinu-sino kaya yung mga masisipag nagsasalin sa tagalog?? Gusto ko sila mameet! hehe Congrats sa kanilang lahat dahil halos +80% na naitatranslate natin/nila…

Kung isa ka sa kanila, pwede kang magkomento sa akin. Isa rin ako sa kanila eh..nung last year nga lang yun. Ngayon tinatamad na ako at nakatutok nalang ako sa pagpoprogram ko.
