It allows the searcher not to fulfil the requirement of the Chinese government on obligatory censorship of search inquiries.

Pickup — the easy commercial car with an open cargo platform, as a rule, with full weight to 4,54 tons and load-carrying capacity to 2,5 tons.

The first mass pickups with a small platform for transportation of cargoes on the basis of automobile models have appeared in the beginning of 20th century, and in second half 1910th years the largest American autofirms «Ford», «Dodge» and «Chevrolet» began to carry out manufacture of pickups by a conveyor method.

Luxury off-road car

To the middle of 80th years, all over the world pickups were ranked as exclusively utilitarian transport, i.e. pickups were popular among farmers and proletariat, but later, pickups became especially popular in the North America, and then all over the world.

First, the pickup is cheaper than an off-road car, secondly, is perfectly well capacious and possesses the reliable operational characteristic, in the third, is supplied with advanced pickup truck cover and the powerful towing motor.

It has led to displacement of demand towards cars of the given type and to occurrence in the given segment of new brands, including even such prestigious as «Cadillac» and «Lincoln».

Refusal Google of censorship has displeased Chineses

Refusal Google of censorship of search inquiries in China has displeased inhabitants of the country, informs BBC News. According to the Chinese correspondent BBC, many Chineses felt offended by the decision of the American company.

Thinking censorship

Censorship cancellation has provoked growth of nationalist moods at Internet users in China. So, on a popular web portal sina.com.cn there were messages in which Chineses have demanded that Google "left away the country".

Some partners Google in China also have declared the termination of cooperation with the searcher. So, Internet company TOM Online which owns a portal tom.com, has officially declared, that will not prolong the contract with Google. Earlier Chinese government has warned partners of the searcher about necessity independently to carry out censorship in case it will cease to carry out Google.

«Absolutely wrong decision»

However with condemnation of policy Google all inhabitants of China have acted not. At the Peking office of the company people who have expressed support to refusal of censorship have gathered. We will notice, that earlier the representative of the Chinese government named decision Google "absolutely wrong" and has expressed "discontent and indignation" company actions.

Google has stopped to carry out censorship of searcher Google.cn on March, 22nd, having given to the Chinese users possibility to carry out search by means of the Hong Kong version of the searcher.

The largest registrar of domains will leave China

The world's largest registrar of domain names company GoDaddy.com will leave from the Chinese market, writes The Washington Post.

The total control

Such decision in GoDaddy have accepted because of toughening of rules of registration of domains. According to the new requirements which have appeared in December, 2009, at registration it is necessary to give about itself the extensive information and to load a colour photo.

In particular, it is required to give number of registration of the legal person and the questionnaires filled by hand. All should be informed it in the special organisation closely connected with the government. Representatives of the registrar consider, that these rules "will freeze" the market. Usually from clients of registrars the name, the address, a phone number and an e-mail address is required only.

Casual coincidence

GoDaddy has decided to stop work in the domain market of China shortly after corporation Google has refused a filtration of results of search and has redirected all inquiries from the Chinese servers on Hong Kong where censorship is not made. However, in the registrar deny any interrelation of own decision with actions Google.

Company GoDaddy is engaged in registration of domains since 2000. In total it is registered over 40 million domain names.

Spam: to be or not to be?

Spam are anonymous mass dispatches of e-mail (i.e. the electronic equivalent of the paper advertising correspondence which is frequently banal litters for usual mailboxes).



The spam is used for professional advertising more often. Spamers dispatch a considerable quantity of advertising messages and make profit of those who answers them.



The biggest stream of a spam extends through e-mail. At present, the mass component of viruses and a spam in the general traffic of e-mail reaches by different estimations from 70 to 95%.

Spam strategy

Spamers collect e-mail addresses by means of the special robot, using web pages: blogs lists, electronic bulletin boards, guest web pages, chats, forums etc…



Such SPAM-robot can collect many thousand e-mails and create from them a database for the further dispatch on them of a spam. Some companies are engaged only in gathering of an e-mail, and then these bases sell to spamers. Some SPAM-companies sell to spamers an e-mail of the clients which ordered the goods or services through e-mail.



The most reliable way of struggle against a spam — not allow spamers to find out about your e-mail (if you own a private e-mail, you nevertheless should block completely the Domain Spam, it's preventive action).

It is a difficult problem, but some safety measures can be undertaken:

1. Register an your main e-mail not on free mail-service (any decent web-provider to the contract gives a mail box on the server; as a rule, such addresses to spamers do not get).



2. Never and not under any circumstances do not publish this address on www-pages. If you need to publish the address in reply to any letter in a forum — publish an e-mail through spaces, for example: trend @ web.com — in this variant, possibly, your e-mail will not get to spam base.



3. Never specify the main e-mail in registration forms on various doubtful web sites. Register a separate free e-mail — only for registration and use it.



As advertising e-mails, as a rule, strongly differ from the usual correspondence, their elimination from an entering stream of mail became a widespread method of struggle against them. For present time this method — the basic and the most used (the given algorithm is used by the majority of post services: gmail, yahoo, hotmail etc).



In some countries legislators intend to approve the bill directed on struggle against spamers. Attempts of legislative prohibition or restriction of activity of spamers encounter variety of complexities. For example, TechieMedia.net Complaints are not always lawful, because is legally problematic to prove the given kind of a crime at the state level.

Online casino or casino real?

With growth of the industry of online entertainments, becomes ripe a question: whether will supersede an online casino of real "primogenitors"? Let's look at figures: the industry of gamblings is increased by considerable rates and at the moment has the income over 10 billion dollars a year.

How affairs with real casinos are? The annual turnover of real casinos only in the USA reaches 900 billion dollars and is not going to decrease!

So many predicted destruction of cinemas with the advent of TV, and then videorecorders and DVD, however all over the world cinemas prosper, and new films still break records on cash gathering.

What Else Could Your Network Do if You Could Increase Bandwidth?

A fish doesn’t notice that it’s surrounded by water. Water is just a normal part of its environment that is taken for granted.



In the same vein, for a very long time, IT managers have viewed as fact that enterprise WAN bandwidth is very scarce. Despite all the advances in technology, from 100Mbps Ethernet links to every desktop and Gigabit Ethernet desktop connections, network managers live with the reality that a 1.5 Mbps T1 WAN connection shared between anywhere from 5 to 50 people is often times all that is available.



The substantial lack of availability of bandwidth on most WANs has a striking impact on the design of the corporate WAN, and on what types of applications can be effectively run on it. Compounding the problem is the economic reality of our times, and the fact that spending twice the budget to achieve the same bandwidth is just simply not an option for most companies.



However, there is a new technology available that can achieve 20 to 30 times the existing WAN bandwidth that has been previously enjoyed. The technology is Adaptive Private Networking (APN). While almost all techniques from WAN Optimization vendors like Riverbed and Blue Coat are about conserving bandwidth, APN actually takes the opposite approach, focusing, much as RAID did with “cheap” PC hard disks for storage, on making inexpensive bits business quality.



Rather than discussing how APN works here, I’d rather focus on the possibilities that are now available on an enterprise WAN that were previously unthinkable due to the lack of bandwidth. Videoconferencing is a great example. Because APN uses a high volume of inexpensive Internet bandwidth, it makes it affordable and achievable to run high definition videoconferencing to even your smallest branch offices on a “converged network”. Start thinking about the applications you could run, and the centralization redesigns which would be possible, if only you could increase bandwidth by 20 times on your WAN.
