Figuring out the Hole for The USB Cricket Card? UM100C
Comments OffSo you bought and you see:
You probably wondering what that can be used for? Here’s what I know and from what I found out. That little can be used as an external Antenna. You could also use this to boost your signal and be able to use this for places that might not be getting a better speed upward and downward bandwidth. You see it all depends on where the Cell Towers are. Although this will likely help those who are either 1 to Almost Zero signal, it will not help those who are outside of the network. It might help and it might not, it depends on the location your at and the closest coverage area. If your on the edge of the coverage area and you buy this antenna it Should boost your signal and get you a better speed. I will not say it will help but in theory it could help. If you want to find out the other post that I have done on this subject please check my Cricket tag for more information. Although it varies on person to person, and region to region this is going to be a variable that will always remain in the grey. Only way to find out is to try it.

Vulnerability in Windows Internet Printing Service Could Allow Remote Code Execution (KB953155)
This update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in the Windows Internet Printing Service that could allow remote code execution. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts.
This update is rated Important for all supported editions of Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008. For more information, see the subsection, Affected and Non-Affected Software, in this section.
The security update addresses this vulnerability by changing the way that memory is allocated within the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) service. For more information about the vulnerability, see the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) subsection for the specific vulnerability entry under the next section, Vulnerability Information.
[via Microsoft Bulletin]
Now from what I understand, if you have a Network attached printer on your system this would make you more vulnerable to someone taking control over your system. So this patch is supposed to fix that. I am recommending to all to update this and fix this update ASAP. I do not know if you don’t have one what that would do so just install this update, because you will undoubtedly still be runing the Internet Printer Protocol even if you don’t have a printer.
With Black Friday for 2008 quickly approaching!!
Comments OffSince Black Friday is approaching next month, I Figured it is time to point to places where you could find them. Now that being said, I don’t think people should take some of these ads serious because of all the possibility. Where these ads are being placed is not going to be the absolute final end all price. Knowing these competitors like I do, they are going to have an ace in the hole. You will probably not find out until a week or a few days before black Friday.
They will of course try to keep the really juicy stuff out of the hands of people who blab about this on the net.
Why do they have Black Friday?
The term “Black Friday” originated in Philadelphia in reference to the heavy traffic on that day. More recently, merchants and the media have used it instead to refer to the beginning of the period in which retailers are in the black (i.e., turning a profit).
