Following yesterday’s party PING on Saturday comes supervitaminado, so be prepared for a really heavy news list that you see right below our particular Tux.
Goodbye
MySQL, bye
good weekend!
Encrypt USB
our memories is a good security measure to consider. If you move your personal files or work on a device of this type, you should protect them with a password. It is a simple but effective method in the case of being robbed or lose the storage unit. Security systems are not always steadfast, but you have to take advantage of them as far as possible.
time ago we talked about the encryption of USB in Ubuntu and this time we bring a tutorial similar, although dedicated to Windows. We will show how encrypt your USB flash drives or portable hard disks with BitLocker , an integrated tool for Microsoft in the latest versions of its operating system. Follow the steps carefully and it will work fine.
Note: It is recommended to perform the process in an empty USB memory. To protect removable drives with BitLocker requires Windows 7 (Enterprise / Ultimate) or Windows 8 (Pro / Enterprise).
The first step is to connect the unit to the computer and enter Computer. Once there right click on memory to protect and press “Enable BitLocker” .
The wizard will start and guide us in the encryption process. On the first screen choose “Use a password to unlock the drive” and enter the desired password in both fields blank.
After
have to store the recovery key. Can save on your computer (recommended) or print , in Windows 8 is also the possibility of storing in the cloud with a Microsoft. It is important that we not lose this key because it is the only way to unlock the drive if you forget the password.
Later
start the BitLocker encryption and wait to do the work. The process takes time, so we need patience. Once we will have protected USB memory and ready for use.
From now on every time you connect the USB flash drive or portable disk to the computer will have to enter the password specified at the beginning. If you do not want to type the password each time we make a choice for the team to remember and unlock the USB memory automatically.
can not remember the password to regain access unit with the recovery key to store during encryption. Click on “Forgot Password” and copy the code in the box indicated.
Thus
win temporary access to the unit and can choose any of the recovery options offered in the list.
Finally, if you decide to remove BitLocker protection to USB memory just have to format it from the context menu of Windows . Please note that this eliminates any files saved on it, be sure to move them to another directory before proceeding.
BitLocker is not the only or best encryption tool for Windows, but it works well and is easy to use. It is designed for users who prefer an integrated utility that does not require downloading additional software.
Google continues to work with the intention that Drive will become the best storage service in the cloud. The new version of the app to iOS App Store reached with new features such as the ability to upload multiple photos and videos at a time . Thinking in the business market also added integration with QuickOffice.
Another pointattractions of the new app is that it presents a few improvements in the creation and management of documents. Google Docs added Helvetica Heue source admitted, while spreadsheets allow diagonal scrolling and include more options for formatting cells.
assembled presentations from your iPhone or iPad there is good news for you. Google Drive for iOS optimized performance for creating slides, adding new animations included support for zooming “clicking” with your fingers. Update is a bit heavy (just over 23 MB) but worth it.
have to see if the Android version gets a similar upgrade in coming days. The app for the operating system developed in Mountain View was last updated during the first half of December.
For now if you want to install Google Drive on your Apple gadgets can do it from App Store. The native client is compatible with iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch with iOS 5.0 or higher .
users are Google Drive as I certainly regret the fact that there is no official Linux client despite requests that Google received thereon. GDrive emerged as independent customers allowing use this service decent, and we learned of the existence of another alternative called Grive .
Grive , as the developer both in the official and the GitHub project page, is in beta, and lacks one of the most important of these clients: not automatically synchronize changes , as not occurring monitors. We have to be us who once edited a file the contents of a folder Grive execute again for the changes to be synchronized with Google Drive.
There is no support forsymlinks or Google documents, but is something that the developer is working on future versions. You can download the source code and compile it, but there are other options to install. If Ubuntu users are there a PPA dsiponible , so you would have to open a terminal and type the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa: nilarimogard/webupd8 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install grive
Arch Linux users can install Grive through AUR, and users of other distributions are binary packages that, yes, they may be something outdated with respect to the source code available on GitHub . Remember that the first execution should be done with the “-a” to authorize Grive to communicate with our Google account Drive.
You have more information on the project in the two sources indicated: the official site of the project and the same page on GitHub.
official Google client will drive short-term-at least I have said from the company, but meanwhile if you want to use your Google account Drive in Linux there are other alternatives: the Google Docs file system FS is not too well with this service, so in addition to using the web interface the best way to use Google Drive in Linux is to use GDrive .
client unofficial Google Drive for Linux that speak WebUpd8 has some limitations, and for example does not have full sync, but it can upload and download new or changed files , so to access these files offline.
However
can not “wait for changes and automatically synchronize files or delete them.” Although the support is therefore somewhat incomplete is an interesting alternative that can get you out of some trouble . The latest version of GDrive (available on the PPA WebUpd8 if you are Ubuntu users) also supports the upload of new files (and not only modified files), but the evidence seems only possible to upload a file every time.
original article explains the steps for installing GDrive in Ubuntu and to use this tool that in the absence of the expected official client can be an interesting resource.

Before we echoed yesterday the launch of Google Drive, the storage system in the Google cloud. Well, this new application of Google has broken records before they met the first 24 hours launch. And is that Google Drive has registered more than five million downloads through Google Play Store, thanks to an updated version of Google Docs. The cloud of Google, which offers 5 GB free and a premium version with more space, has started strong in the area of ”cloud”, which just increased competition with the arrival of Google Drive this past Tuesday. The service in the cloud of the Mountain View joins the services already offered -Microsoft-SkyDrive, DropBox, Evernote Box or , available services for some time, and the icloud of Apple.
