Speculation arose in the press say that Dropbox could add a web player for users to have easier access to music stored on their accounts. Other rumors go a little further and say that the storage service launch its own music streaming platform .

Better management of multimedia could expadir interest in Dropbox, which recently surpassed 100 million users. Anyway rumors should be taken with caution, so it’s best to wait for the company to make any official announcement.

Screenshot 140 929 31 July 2012 Microsoft renewed its service e-mails with Outlook.com

Microsoft launched Outlook.com , a new email service came as a replacement for Hotmail. The platform was presented yesterday afternoon and caused much surprise among users. With the announcement, the Redmond company started to lower the shutter one of its most popular services.

In time Hotmail accounts still work perfectly. Outlook.com keeps all old emails , like documents or files stored on SkyDrive. Those who wish can change your alias de@hotmail.com a@outlook.com, keeping intact the rest of the account information.

Another point to note is that, once users change their accounts a@outlook.com, the platform redirects all mail that is sent to the dirección@hotmail.com. It is good practice to avoid confusion or loss of messages during the transition.

Among the features debuting in Outlook. com we have to mention the integration with Skype . This feature is not enabled globally, but promises to be available in coming days. In addition, the service interface was modified in its entirety to give it a professional air Metro.

Like Hotmail, Outlook.com offers the option to connect Facebook and Twitter . This option was best worked on the new platform of e-mails, allowing you to read status updates and tweets from the inbox.

Microsoft’s goal is to get a stronghold among Internet users who do not use Windows Live Messenger . That was the weakest point of Hotmail, as historically was typecast as the service required to access the messenger. Do you think the launch was a good step Outlook.com

ownCloud, at your service

class=”article first_main_article” readability=”61″>

ended publish the PING on Saturday and I find a story that could well lead it, is that it is possible ownCloud enjoy all of the law!

2 500x357 owncloud ownCloud, at your service

news concerned the MuyComputer our colleagues published a while ago, and I recommend reading it because all the references I make are explained in his lengthy article.

The point is that

ownCloud really cool , but its use was reserved until now to Linux users more techies , because install, configure and He played other … read, go, although it should be noted that the best and most complete way to enjoy ownCloud is installing it on your own server. But again, that’s something that is beyond the scope of most users.

And here are the companies begin to implement solutions aimed ownCloud between their common customers, with some really interesting conditions: 6 GB free space, 100 GB for $ 59 a year, an impressive speed …

I tried the example you put in the article MuyComputer, the truth is that experience are summarized in two words: luxury . In fact, I only find two cases where I would not recommend the change from a similar service: Ubuntu One, the integration involved (although ownCloud is faster) and I get to …

some know I’m a pretty happy user of SpiderOak, and largely thanks to some of you I have 34 GB of free space, which is not bad. However, what I value most is your security service , that neither ownCloud, Ubuntu One or Dropbox can match (speaking of security, choose in the order they are written). But I liked the experience so much that in the not too distant future I see myself in ownCloud.

course, that no cheating takes ownCloud have to refine many aspects , as desktop applications or mobile, but are on the right track (once again I invite you to read the original article, since there are alternatives to applications and explains the topic in more detail).

end ownCloud excellent, I recommend you try it … and tell.

G-Drive storage service from Google, could see light in April

Google G Drive Drive2, the storage service from Google, could see light in April,

ask, Google makes more headlines with their Doodles with their tools and services. Yet the company did not abandon their plans to become the Internet grabbing power ends as if Skynet Terminator.

Not long ago we talked about G-Drive , storage service in the cloud. This week, just as ending March, reveal new elements that could show what the company wants to shape with this raid.

The first detail that stands out is its release date, between rumors for the first days of April. Although many media give free advertising saying it is the direct competitor of Dropbox or Skydrive Microsoft , if we take as reference qualities storage, lags far behind these services.

Was he talking about a capacity of 1GB free , the same figure that Google broke paradigms to enter the market emails couple of evenings ago but now comes short when measured even with the virtual record Amazon Kindle (about 5 GB).

interface would be equal, not ie identical to that of Google Docs and would be supplemented with both a desktop application and the web, although not yet known if fully integrated with the entire ecosystem of the company (taking into account the emergence of Play and unification terms of service, it probably is).

The added value that distinguishes it in all this economic move would be included within Google Apps , the packet business is handled between the mode of payment and gratuity. Also add an API that would allow third parties to use this (limited) storage.

So far, continue to launch tear gas, but Google has created expectations necessary to market their products. Suffice to see if this is sufficient to avoid falling into the same black hole which have already fallen inventions like Google wave.

Google seeks to dethrone Dropbox with “Drive”, its own storage service

Google Drive1 e1329308286301 Dropbox dethrone Google search with

In the era post-closure Megaupload, speak storage of content on the Web seems a subject to be taken with tongs. So strange how little publicity it has had the new baby of Google (for some, Skynet sometime in the future), a service similar to Dropbox known until now as “ Drive “.

The product in question, according to Wall Street Journal, would do the same as that referred to: store photos, documents and videos so they can be available wherever the user Internet access, but with a preference to mobile devices (such as smartphones or tablets).

nowhere mentioned how much storage would be but the ease share the content through mobile applications or links to the company itself provides.

is expected to launch-or at least officially announced sometime in 2012 with the same business model with which the company and its future competition has worked so far: free to some extent but with a fee when you exceed the limit given (that is to say, not defined).

The project could have been in development since 2007 under the code name “G Drive “, but was never shown anything to the public. Instead Dropbox, which coincidentally was born the same year, has remained until the more than 45 million users now have.

Despite the lack of data, the only thing clear is that in the short term Google is not going to swallow Dropbox , which is one of the most common trends in these times. Remains to be seen what kind of expectations can be generated with this service (double the limits of competition would be a good start) and how it integrates its huge range of services.

LOIC

Praetox was initially developed by technology and then released into the public domain . It is written in C # and as such runs on. NET and Mono . The name is a tribute to the eponymous fictional weapon (Ion Cannon ) for some games in the series Command & Conquer .

We also

as LOIQ implementation variants, programmed in C + + with Qt 4 under GPLv3; JSLOIC done run javaScript allowing web browser without installing anything (although with the limitation that only makes the attack of HTTP requests ) and an update IRCLOIC NewEraCracker developed by allowing cede control of the client to an IRC channel operator to perform a coordinated attack .

Notably

LOIC and its variants are the flagship of the group hacktivist Anonymous . They were used in its various operations DDoS (Distributed DoS )-that is coordinated attacks. For example, yesterday January 19, 2012, Anonymous managed to put out of service The Department of Justice website and the FBI in retaliation for the close of Megaupload and detention of their workers, because alleged charges of hacking, just a few hours before.
