Opera Finally free !



As you can see clicking on the link you are invited to welcome to download it for freeeee!

Hang on! Ok so what's really cool about opera now. Check them out here

Ok they've got lot's of things to tell. Some of the things I liked were...

o They apparently claim to have the fastest browser on the planet, which you can check here.

o They have a robust security around the browser.

o I liked the tabbed browsing the most. Saves me the trouble of starting multiple instances. See a flash demo here

o Integrated search : Ok it's more like a wrapper around in your own browser. Ok it's nice fancy thing. See a demo here.

o Voice : I never understood about the whole voice thing. But they're allegedly the first. Read more here.

o All supported Os's possible : That makes it acceptable to larger public.

  1. Only thing that I find missing in Opera is the adblock plugin like they have for firefox. If you can find me the plugin I will definitly give a try to opera ;)

Security: VMware Workstation 6 vulnerability

vulnerable software: VMware Workstation 6.0 for Windows, possible some other VMware products as well type of vulnerability: DoS, potential privilege escalation I found a vulnerability in VMware Workstation 6.0 which allows an unprivileged user in the host OS to crash the system and potentially run arbitrary code with kernel privileges. The issue is in the vmstor-60 driver, which is supposed to mount VMware images within the host OS. When sending the IOCTL code FsSetVoleInformation with subcode FsSetFileInformation with a large buffer and underreporting its size to at max 1024 bytes, it will underrun and potentially execute arbitrary code.

Splunk that!

Saw this advert on Slashdot and went on to look for it and found the tour pretty neat to look at. Check out the demo too! So why would I need it? WHY NOT? I'd say. As an organization grows , new services, new data comes by, new logs start accumulating on the servers and it becomes increasingly difficult to look at all those logs, leave alone that you'd have time to read them and who cares about analysis as the time to look for those log files already makes your day, isn't it? Well a solution like this is a cool option to have your sysadmins/operators look at ONE PLACE and thus you don't have your administrators lurking around in your physical servers and *accidentally* messing up things there. Go ahead and give it a shot by downloading it and testing it. I'll give it a shot myself! Ok so I went ahead and installed it. Do this... [root@tarrydev Software]# ./splunk-Server-1.0.1-linux-installer.bin to install and this (if you screw up) [root@tarrydev Software]# /op

Virtualization is hot and sexy!

If this does not convince you to virtualize, believe me, nothing will :-) As you will hear these gorgeous women mention VMware, Akkori, Pano Logic, Microsoft and VKernel. They forgot to mention rackspace ;-) virtualization girl video I'm convinced, aren't you? Check out their site as well!
