Free 7-Zip Does More than Windows' Built-In Tool

Posted: 05 May 2010 09:00 AM PDT


You can compress and decompress .zip format archive files using Windows' own built-in capabilities, but that's limited. Or you can use a commercial program like WinZip that's packed with all sorts of goodies, but you have to pay for it. Or you can use 7-Zip, which gives you a couple of the most important features for free. It's available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

Keep Your Personal Data Off the Market

In 2003, author and security pioneer Simson Garfinkel conducted a study of data he found on second-hand hard drives. On eBay, Garfinkel bought the hard drive from an old ATM machine; it held 827 bank account PINs. Another drive he purchased on eBay had previously been owned by a medical center and contained information on 31,000 credit card numbers.

Facebook vs. LinkedIn: Which has the better privacy?

Posted: 05 May 2010 09:00 AM PDT


Privacy advocates' criticism over recent moves by Facebook and Google Buzz begs the question: Is privacy possible in a social network? And, if so, which social-network service does it the best? To answer this question, this month I donned my privacy goggles and pored over the two social networks that my professional peers seem to use the most: Facebook and LinkedIn. I also asked all my Facebook friends and LinkedIn connections to tell me which they thought did privacy better. (I didn't look at Buzz because I admittedly don't know anyone using it.) What did I find out?

Starting CCVP

Posted: 05 May 2010 01:55 AM PDT

Congrats on your CCNA hotdogs. I'm a bit different on the order of test taken for you CCVP. Most people take their GWGK test last as it was the last test that Cisco released for the CCVP certification. However, when I was researching the topics of each test to determine which order to do them in, I found that GWGK is like an extension of CVOICE. I did my test in the following order;
Cvoice – mostly theory and some router voice programming (you NEED to know this stuff cold. Not really for the test but it is the basis or your abilities to be a good Voice Tech. Study for this test should include Reading, Cbt's, and if you get the knowledgenet, it has some good lab sims on it. If you don't have access to the equipment, you can always write out the commands on paper or a white-board for practice (thats how I learned NAT for my ccna.)

GWGK – Also lots of theory building on what you did in Cvoice. Your protocol knowlege of H.323 will really
help here. Studying for this test should include reading, cbts, and again the Knowledgenet with labs. Again with the white-board stuff.

CIPT – I believe this test with much easier with full knowledge of the two prior test. The majority of this test is to learn the CallManager application. I believe this is made much easier with the understanding learned in the previous tests. For this test, you're study needs to include the usual, plus you need access to a CallManager. You need to become familier with the menu structures and such. This isn't a theory test, its about you knowing the in's and outs of CallManager.

QoS – QoS is a VERY important test. Not just for Voice, but for networks in general. Being able to manipulate traffic flows can really help you in the field, as well as in an interview. You need to spend ample amount of time on this exam and know the knowledge throughly, when you go for your
CCIE, you'd better know QoS cold. I recommend all the reading and CBT watching you can get in, as well as hands on lab time. Lots of people pass this exam using dumps and say its easy. I've met
very few people who have passed without it. I studied my butt off for this exam and tested myself with p4s and only hit 84% on first try(I thought I had it nailed.)

IPTT – This will use pretty much all the course knowledge you have gained in the previous studying. It will also add a few new components such as basic Unity Troubleshooting. Read books, watch CBT's, if you studied well on the other test, you'll be fine here.
Once you have finished your CCVP, I suggest you do NOT go straight into CCIE studies. You need to spend some time working with these things in the real world. If you want to make yourself into a recruited IP Telephony Tech and not just someone out looking for a job. I would suggest working towards some specializations. Especially if you want to go work for an integrator. I recently passed the CRMC test, and since I had already passed my Cvoice, I am now a certified Cisco Rich Media Communications Specialist. This is needed for my company to be "Advanced Unified Communications Certified". CRMC is heavily based on things you learned in GWGK and is a pretty easy test if you know that stuff well. If you think, pffff, I don't care about that crap, I want CCIE. Well, you are going to be learning this stuff anyway. CRMC, IPCC, Unity are all parts of the new Voice CCIE in some way. If you aren't at least familier with this stuff, you can just hang it up. If you are going to be learning it anyway, you might as well get certified for it!

Unteathered Jailbreak for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch

Posted: 04 May 2010 09:00 AM PDT


A new jailbreak for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches has been released, mere days after of the iPad 3G release in the US. Called Spirit, this hack lets you jailbreak your Apple mobile devices without connecting them to a computer. While this isn't a carrier unlock (the iPad 3G has no carrier lock, and has been hacked to accept a trimmed-down T-Mobile SIM and natively send SMS), the jailbreak lets you get applications from sources outside of the
