what's "Viral Video"??

Before I researched about Viral Video, I did not know about that so much. I thought that it is negative aspect of the Internet because it says “Viral”, however, this is not so negative for us.

Viral Video is Video clip content that everyone can see using e-mail and IM messenger that means to share each website. Most of Viral Video is to show humor and fun. Nowadays, people have camera phone, so it became easier to give Viral Video to website comparing with past days.

And this is my favorite Viral Video from YouTube♥
You can see my hometown’s special event, Fireworks of Nagaoka Festival.
It holds every August near the Shinano river!
And I am planning to see this firework with NIC students next August.
So if you are interested in this film, please join my plan☆
It is great!! So you should watch it!!!!

Computer gifts you would buy for friends & family♥

Now, if I have extra money, I will buy presents for my friends and family.
Actually, this present will make relationship better between my friends and parents, and I after I leave Japan.

The presents that I want to give for my friends and parent are high quality web cameras because I want to communicate with my friends and parents seeing their face, listening their voice. Now, I can use telephone to communicate someone, however, it will be hard after I leave Japan. Also, if I use international telephone from the U.S. to Japan, it will take a large amount of money, so I really worried about method to communicate people. However, there are good systems using the Internet! Using the Internet, we can communicate without paying money! So, I want my friends and parent to have web camera. Having this special present, we can communicate at all over the world!

Computer Terms: What Is "Net Neutrality"?

Actually this week’s assignment is very difficult for me because I have not heard this words “Net Neutrality”, however, I will do my best.

According to my research, Net Neutrality is the act to avoid unfair between the companies that has broadband network and the companies or individual that has contents. For example, nowadays, there are some searching system networks such as Yahoo and Google, and they offer us a lot of services, however, under the present conditions, they can pick up only the information that they have on a high-speed Internet line. Then, companies or individual that has contents came up with losing this gap. They appeal that customer should pay charge when they use the high-speed broadband Internet, or broadband Internet companies should lose the gap, it means putting all information on a high-speed Internet line.

Generally speaking, Providers support this idea because they think it is necessary to improve the Internet more. On the other hand, broadband Internet companies worry about burden of user.

Recent computer News!

Nowadays people can use computer for various purposes.
For example, people can shop, communicate with someone, and learn something using computer.
People tend to use computer rather than move themselves.

Recent news about computer that I found relates to this situation.

February 23, Japan Record Association announced that the total sale of music delivery using the Internet exceeded the total sale of CDs. Music delivery is increasing at this moment, and comparing with 2005, the rate of it was 56 percent increased in 2006. It is significant growth for music economy. The difference between two years was 25 hundreds million yen.

The major factor is spread of portable music player, such as iPod. It allows people to get music without CDs, so demand of CDs is decreasing.

People pursue the convenient life, but they must not forget an essential thing in their life.

Computer Terms: What Is "Social Engineering"?

Social engineering is the way to get password of someone illegally. Also it is called as social work. This skill allows people to get someone’s important information without damages for computer. There are three major methods to do this.

First, looking and getting password during someone types his/her password. It is basic way to do social engineering. If you stand back of someone, it is easy for you.

Second method is using special software that can remember the input of keyboard. It is necessary to install the software, but there is little possibility to come out.

Third one is pumping the password as fraud. I think it is more complex than other things because it might be systematic crime.

Nowadays, social engineering dose not show only getting password, but also getting personal identification number, so we have to protect our personal information by ourselves carefully.

What do you know about the Mac?

Actually, after I took last lecture, I am really interested in apple computer.
The reason why I am interested in of this topic will be replied.

First, the design is really cool. I always impress your mac computer’s design of content. I heard that if people use windows computer, it is not easy to master mac computer, however, if I have opportunity to buy new computer, I will consider which is better for me to buy windows or mac.

Second, I am really surprised that mac computer can also use windows, and windows cannot that. It is very useful, I think. We can use both windows and mac properly. I think that it allows people to use computer efficiently.

Third, the support system is very good. The number of mac user is not so big, but if support system is steady, it is ok. I think that good support is necessary for users to use computer.

Above points are my special interests!
I will research more about mac computer personally.
