			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most of the times people get confused when they need to decide on the type of operating system for their Linux PC, be it Fedora or Ubuntu.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-25859" src="http://www.geeksdesk.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/fedora-vs-ubuntu.jpg" alt="fedora vs ubuntu Fedora Vs Ubuntu" width="500" height="200" title="Fedora Vs Ubuntu" /></p>
<h2>Difference Between Fedora and Ubuntu</h2>
<p>Fedora is said to have gained reputation for its experimental and tentative nature while Ubuntu on the other hand is famous for its user-friendly nature. The major difference between these two operating systems is calculated with respect to their outcome and end result.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h3>Ease of use</h3>
<p>Fedora endeavors to craft the desktop OS to be the best among the open source software that is available for access as of today. It integrates software that is very tentative however it has stability too. Conversely, Ubuntu’s approach is to provide a desktop option for Windows that tends to be pretty easy to use. Even though Ubuntu is not a replicate of Windows, anyone can still use it, if they are keen in discarding Windows from their PC. Ubuntu has gained success in this particular trait.</li>
<li>
<h3>Intricacy of operation</h3>
<p>You can see some dissimilarity in the installation packages of Ubuntu and Fedora. Ubuntu consists of a very small installation package which requires the need for a network connection instantly for downloading extra things. Alternatively Fedora includes a large installation package and consists of various options that you can chose from a DVD and so you don’t have to possess a network connection.</li>
<li>
<h3>Proprietary &amp; non-proprietary things</h3>
<p>Ubuntu provides great support to the users who wish to have a mixture of non-proprietary and proprietary things. Fedora offers only proprietary things. However, Fedora provides repositories for obtaining non-proprietary things.</li>
<li>
<h3>Technology Platform</h3>
<p>Ubuntu is based on Debian platform, the text based Linux. But Fedora is based on Red Hat, the enterprise Linux.</li>
<li>
<h3>File format</h3>
<p>Ubuntu handles DEB packages to deploy applications whereas Fedora only handles RPM packages, which is somewhat more popular application deployment control for Linux.</li>
<li>
<h3>Enterprise Application platform</h3>
<p>Ubuntu offers much more flexibility while using licensed application and third party paid utilities can be run easily. Fedora being more enterprise and controlled version of Linux, often creates problems for third party paid applications.</li>
</ul>
<h2>The decisive factor</h2>
<p>Fedora is highly recommended when compared to Ubuntu particularly for people who have just started things and desire to have a look on how open source software looks and functions. Overall, Fedora is said to be a satisfying substitute to Ubuntu.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone is on the look for chatting with a stranger over the interenet these days. But still they are concerned about their privacy too. They don’t want to give their details or create a username that certainly includes details about them.</p>
<h2>Omegle</h2>
<p>Omegle is one such online chatting website which offers its users to chat with strangers, no matter where they are located. It also doesn’t ask them for any user information, and this particular feature has made Omegle popular whereby it has become more popular that it is said to receive 1 million page views a day. Leif K-Brooks is the owner of Omegle and he was a teen in high school when he created this website. Being anonymous online is one big reason that Omegle is being cherished for. It assists the users to chat online in a safe manner and also allows them to chat with people present all over the world.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-24216" src="http://www.geeksdesk.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/omegle.jpg" alt="omegle Chat With Strangers   Sites like Omegle" width="241" height="120" title="Chat With Strangers   Sites like Omegle" /></p>
<h2>How Sites Like Omegle Work</h2>
<p>Omegle also provides video chat option too. Users can afford to chat with strangers using their webcam.</p>
<p>Spy mode which is in its beta stage, is available for the users now. It allows the users to ask a question, and watch two strangers discuss it infront of them, provided the strangers offer themselves to be seen discussing. However, the user who asks the question will not be able to participate in the conversation. Once the conversation is over, the user can download the log, copy paste the conversation, post it to their Facebook wall or share it on Tumblr too. Some users have started to display obscene and vulgar content in this page, hope Omegle solves this issue.</p>
<p>Omegle utilizes anti-spam software called as “reCAPTCHA”, that prevents spam messages that might be sent by automated bots.</p>
<p>Omegle has added up a new feature which allows the users to connect using Facebook Connect which offers to meet strangers who have common interests. This particular feature does this job by monitoring the pages which the users have choosen to “Like” on Facebook. But still sometimes the strangers are not only connected with strangers with common interest, they might be connected to total random strangers as usual too, which results due to the search for common interests time out.</p>
<p>HTTP polling is a new feature that the other website “ChatRoulette” is using at present wherein every single user sends a message to the server in couple of seconds, which causes the server to process more messages per second.</p>
<p>Omegle’s creator K-Brooks doesn’t seem to like this idea and he quotes that he would continue to enhance the experience of the user by boosting the spam protection, streamlining the UI, and developing it to be used in further more platforms.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The internet and its associated applications are fast becoming smarter and are evolving at a fast pace. The most recent trend among the intelligent online applications is the ability to <strong>identify the users and automatically log in them</strong> without the user needing to give out any login information. Sounds interesting right? Well, indeed the idea seems fresh and is seen to make the task at hand for most internet users easy and smoother than before.</p>
<h2>Premium Cookies</h2>
<p>The basic idea about the premium cookies is that they are a few essential website elements that come in as a part of certain websites hosting login services. The basic idea behind a premium cookie is to enable the browser or the website’s database to determine the user without actually asking for any input from the user end.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-24104" title="premium cookies" src="http://www.geeksdesk.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/premium-cookies.jpg" alt="premium cookies What are Premium Cookies? " width="428" height="102" /></p>
<p>What this means is simple; it attempts to login into the appropriate user account by identifying browser and IP details rather than based on user input details. This not only makes the process easier for the user but also adds a bit of speed and smoothness to the whole process of going online.</p>
<h2>Premium Cookie Injector</h2>
<p>When it comes to <strong>premium cookies</strong>, the core idea is to keep the account logged on so as to facilitate uninterrupted exchange of information from the client to the server. The most basic use of it comes to downloading large amounts of data from secured servers which require the users to log in. Premium cookies play the saviour in these kinds of activities. In events of temporary of network failure, the premium cookies enable the browsers to carry forth the transfer as it automatically logs into the account.</p>
<p>Premium Cookie Injectors are coded as extensions in the browsers which help in real-time user login. The free version of Premium Cookie Injector is the popular browser extension that can be found on support systems for different websites again and  again. Premium Cookies are now being supported by numerous websites as time is going on.</p>
<h2>How to Use Premium Cookies</h2>
<p>To begin this section, we first look into some of the <strong>most common examples of premium cookies:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>2X Filesonic Premium Accounts</li>
<li>40X Filesonic Premium Cookies</li>
<li>7x Hotfile Premium Cookies</li>
<li>120X Wupload Premium Cookies</li>
<li>3X Filesonic premium Accounts</li>
<li>104X Wupload Premium Cookies</li>
<li>11X Filesonic Premium Cookies</li>
<li>Rapidshare Premium Cookie</li>
<li>Megaupload Premium Cookie</li>
</ul>
<p>These are considered major examples in this regard.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-24105" title="premium cookies options" src="http://www.geeksdesk.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/premium-cookies-options.jpg" alt="premium cookies options What are Premium Cookies? " width="366" height="280" /></p>
<p><strong>Now moving onto using one of these, let us take the example of using Megaupload Cookie injector in the following lines:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Install the latest version of Firefox</li>
<li>Download the Cookie editor for Firefox</li>
<li>Open Firefox and login to Megaupload free account</li>
<li>Go to Tools&gt; Cookie Editor</li>
<li>Search for “megaupload” and press “Filter/Refresh”</li>
<li> Double click to “megaupload.com” site with “auth” value</li>
<li>Paste a valid premium cookie to “Content” bar and click the save button</li>
<li>Just Refresh the page</li>
</ul>
<p>Once done with this, the browser is able to get hold of the users identity without any input and does login automatically.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>What is a Webinar</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We live in an internet savvy world where we would love everything to be done online whether it is an evening chat with your girlfriend or developing your college project with online software tools. In accordance with this scenario companies worldwide are continuously offering new solutions to users that allow them to accomplish many tasks online which were once considered to be almost impossible.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One such solution is the evolution of Web Conferencing which allows real time collaboration of individuals via Audio and Video transmission courtesy of the internet by making use of technologies like VOIP and so on. The participants of a Web Conference need not be in the same locality or for the fact not even on the same continent.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23597" src="http://www.geeksdesk.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/webconferencing.jpg" alt="webconferencing What is a webinar and How does a webinar work" width="354" height="301" title="What is a webinar and How does a webinar work" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Web Conferencing has evolved itself into numerous multipurpose avatars and one of the most widely used one among them today is Webinars. But how many of you have heard of the term Webinar? Do not get worried.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">How does a Webinar Work?</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A Webinar is simply a term coined by joining two very popular words i.e. Web and Seminar. So a Webinar is in fact a web based seminar. It works on the same principal as that of Web Conferencing i.e. using technologies such as VOIP. Now it is assumed that all of you know what a seminar is. So a Webinar basically involves conducting online interaction sessions that will include workshops, presentations, lectures and many more such activities.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Webinar Vs Webcast</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23623" title="Webinar-Vs-Webcast" src="http://www.geeksdesk.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Webinar-Vs-Webcast.jpg" alt="Webinar Vs Webcast What is a webinar and How does a webinar work" width="269" height="263" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Webinars are different from Webcasts even though a number of people will not agree to this fact. A Webcast is more of like a one side session wherein a person broadcasts the audio and video signals of his presentation to multiple users at the same time using the internet but there is no or limited scope for a two way interaction like feedback and questionnaire sessions. It is more akin to our radio transmission wherein users have to listen to whatever is coming out of the radio without raising any questions.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">What a Webinar offers?</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-23600" src="http://www.geeksdesk.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Webinar-300x233.jpg" alt="Webinar 300x233 What is a webinar and How does a webinar work" width="300" height="233" title="What is a webinar and How does a webinar work" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A Webinar on the other hand is much more interactive and offers facilities that are normally handed over to the audiences during a live seminar in a real time environment wherein the speaker and the listeners are in the same room. A Webinar empowers the audience to respond with queries or objections in conjunction with the speaker’s presentation and depending on the software used for Webinars there are options for a particular listener to either publish his opinion under his own name or as an anonymous user thereby providing security of his or her identity in matters relating to sensitive issues.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are also Webinars which facilitate events such as real time polling or voting schemes to help sort out differences with a majority favours who strategy. So in fact a Webinar is best suited for events like Debates, Political Discussions and events of such magnitude wherein the participants required for the event are scattered at remote locations and the only way they can communicate is through the web.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Final Say</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are several premium Webinar solutions available in the internet and you can try out some if you are interested.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many people assume <strong>GPS</strong> (Global Positioning System) and<strong> GPRS</strong> (General Packet Radio Service) to be one and the same thing. But, they are not. In fact, they are two different technologies that do different things that do not have anything to do with each other. GPS is a system that is used to find out and point towards any point on earth using a satellite; on the other hand, GPRS is a service that enables the mobile phone service providers to provide 2G data services to their users. The similarities end with the  letters GPS present in both names.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23336" src="http://www.geeksdesk.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/GPS1.jpeg" alt=" Difference Between GPS and GPRS" width="500" height="316" title="Difference Between GPS and GPRS" /></p>
<p>GPS and GPRS are not even competing technologies. One precedes the other by several years and has been in use by the military for a long time. The GPS system was introduced to track down enemies and pinpoint to their specific location. The GPS system was made available to the public in general only a few years later. The GPS system let the receivers pinpoint their location within 10 feet of where they are on the map. Over years several uses for GPS have been invented.</p>
<h2>Some of the uses of GPS</h2>
<ol>
<li>Navigation system, for cars and trucks</li>
<li>Flight navigation systems</li>
<li>Tracking of convicted felons in parole</li>
</ol>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23337" src="http://www.geeksdesk.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/GPRS.jpg" alt="GPRS Difference Between GPS and GPRS" width="587" height="548" title="Difference Between GPS and GPRS" /></p>
<p>GPRS is part of the 2G technology and is rather an outdated one considering most of us use 3G now. GPRS lets people access internet over their mobile phone. You can also connect several other mobile devices using the GPRS network, the bandwidth though is restricted and is usually considered as the dial-up equivalent speed. GPRS is even more relevant in the developing countries where 3G spectrums and the technology to use it are not yet available.</p>
<h2>Some of the uses of GPRS</h2>
<ol>
<li>Affordable high speed internet to mobile devices</li>
<li>Connects several different mobile devices besides the mobile phone</li>
<li>Relatively cheaper compared to 3G</li>
</ol>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You all might have encountered with the language translation issues at least once. If not, you probably might in the future. And, you aren’t a genius to know all the languages on your fingertips. Then you should know how to translate the world languages. It might not be very useful, but it’s always handy; sometimes times fun too.  For this, you have Yahoo! Babel Fish.</p>
<p>Yahoo! Babel Fish offers free web-based machine translation of various international languages. It is now acquired by Yahoo, but it was earlier owned by AltaVista.</p>
<h2>How does it Work?</h2>
<p>Yahoo! Babel Fish was initially developed by SYSTRAN, which is one of the oldest companies in machine translating services. In order to use Babel Fish, all you have to do is:</p>
<ul>
<li>Go to the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://babelfish.yahoo.com/" target="_blank">Yahoo! Babel Fish</a> website.</li>
<li>Here, you can see a section as shown in the figure below.<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23107" src="http://www.geeksdesk.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Yahoo-Babel-fish.jpg" alt="Yahoo Babel fish Yahoo! Babel Fish" width="460" height="301" title="Yahoo! Babel Fish" /></li>
<li>Here in the text area, which can be seen in white color, you will have to enter the text for translation.</li>
<li>As you can see you can either enter a block of text or you can enter a web page URL directly for translation.</li>
<li>It is interesting to know that Yahoo! Babel Fish offers 38 different language translation pairs, for example, English to Dutch and vice-versa, as shown in the figure below.<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23108" src="http://www.geeksdesk.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Yahoo-Babel-fish1.jpg" alt="Yahoo Babel fish1 Yahoo! Babel Fish" width="146" height="215" title="Yahoo! Babel Fish" /></li>
</ul>
<p>If you follow this simple procedure mentioned above then you could be translating many world languages in few seconds.</p>
<h2>Drawbacks</h2>
<p>Well, every technology has got its own drawbacks and Yahoo! Babel Fish also has its own.</p>
<ul>
<li>Babel fish restricts you to 150 words, when you enter the text in the text area.</li>
<li>Plus, in the next section for website you can only translate up to 10KB at a time.</li>
<li>So, this involves translating some chunks of text in sequence.</li>
<li>Hence, this consumes lot of time, if the amount of text is huge.</li>
<li>Also, if you want to use Babel Fish’s translation for a thesis or any project, then you better watch out.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Competitors</h2>
<p>Yahoo! Babel Fish faces competition from other global giants such as Microsoft and Google, where they offer <a rel="nofollow" href="http://translator.live.com/" target="_blank">Microsoft Live Translator</a> and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://translate.google.com/" target="_blank">Google Translate</a> respectively.</p>
<p>While, Yahoo! Babel Fish seems far from perfect, but it’s worth trying if you need some urgent translations.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A privacy policy can be seen as a legal document that discloses all or some of the ways a company gathers, manipulates and manages customer’s personal data. The contents of privacy policy depend on the law that is applicable and it may address jurisdiction of multiple countries.While still there is no universally accepted format for privacy policy, few companies provides online wizards or example forms.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-22455" title="privacy policy" src="http://www.geeksdesk.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/privacy-policy.jpg" alt="privacy policy Privacy Policy Example and Free Privacy Policy Generator" width="421" height="111" /></p>
<h2>Privacy Policy Example</h2>
<p>Now as Internet is spreading at the speed of light, no business can be separated from it. Every company or business, no matter how small, has its presence over internet. As the new companies arise, they need to make a privacy policy compulsorily as per the law of its originating country. But an organization might fail in jiffy regarding the content of the policy privacy if it is new!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-22453" title="privacy_policy" src="http://www.geeksdesk.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/privacy_policy.jpg" alt="privacy policy Privacy Policy Example and Free Privacy Policy Generator" width="320" height="350" /></p>
<h2>Privacy Policy generator</h2>
<p>So to help such newly arising companies, many web sites have been created, take a look at some of them:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Free Privacy Policy -</strong> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.freeprivacypolicy.com/free-privacy-policy.html">http://www.freeprivacypolicy.com/free-privacy-policy.html</a> &#8211; This web site provides an online wizard to create a privacy policy for you. Before starting, you have to submit all the necessary information related to the business of your company so as to build proper privacy policy for you.</li>
<li><strong>ChinookWebs -</strong> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.chinookwebs.com/privacysample.asp">http://www.chinookwebs.com/privacysample.asp</a> &#8211; This is another web site which helps you creating your company policy, but this site does not provide any online wizard; instead it provides a general format in which we have to fill our information.</li>
<li><strong>BusinessLink -</strong> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg/action/detail?itemId=1076142085&amp;type=RESOURCES">http://www.businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg/action/detail?itemId=1076142085&amp;type=RESOURCES</a></li>
<li><strong>Docstoc -</strong> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.docstoc.com/docs/3539507/privacy-policy-example">http://www.docstoc.com/docs/3539507/privacy-policy-example</a></li>
</ul>
<div><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-22456" title="privacy-policy" src="http://www.geeksdesk.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/privacy-policy1.jpg" alt="privacy policy1 Privacy Policy Example and Free Privacy Policy Generator" width="336" height="307" /></div>
<h2>Free Privacy Policy</h2>
<p>All the links given above provide free services to users. But you may come across such web sites providing services at some cost. While free sites will allow you to create your policy unlimited times, professional sites charging you for service will provide you service more professionally.</p>
<h2>Google Privacy Policy</h2>
<p>Now we will have a look at the privacy policy of one of the biggest companies in the world: Google. One can review Google’s privacy policy by visiting this link:<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.google.com/intl/en/privacy/privacy-policy.html" target="_blank">http://www.google.com/intl/en/privacy/privacy-policy.html</a>.  As Google everyday handles data of millions of users, privacy policy of Google is very much complex to read and understand but at the same time it is perfect example of how a privacy policy should be!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-22454" title="new-google-privacy-policy-2010" src="http://www.geeksdesk.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/new-google-privacy-policy-2010.jpg" alt="new google privacy policy 2010 Privacy Policy Example and Free Privacy Policy Generator" width="430" height="214" /></p>
<h2>Standard Privacy Policy</h2>
<p>Now that we have seen various sites offering free privacy policies, how to create one; we have also seen Google’s privacy policy; now the question arises if a privacy policy is to be created what should be the standard one?

<h2>Step -1: Choose conditions</h2>
<p>Choosing the conditions is going to be your first step.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Due credit to the owner:</strong>  this condition implies that others can use your work but you as the owner should be given the credit. This condition also implies that you need not support the users views. If the user wants to sue your work without giving you due credits, prior permission needs to be taken.</li>
</ul>
<ul>

<h2>Advantages of Creative Commons Images</h2>
<h4>Entertainment:</h4>
<ul>
<li>In entertainment media, Creative Common licensing is more beneficial. It allows them to allow their work under restrictions. The author can permit users to use their work as per their norms.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>For example, in the music industry, musicians share their work under CC on websites like Youtube. This helps them to gain exposure and helps them to fetch successful careers.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Artist have a complete power over their contributions. This makes them to feel secure that their works are distributed freely without any modification.</li>
