I Blog you Blog, let's GO-Blog

At last Google has updated its image searching feature. "We just redesigned Google Images to make it easier to move through a series of images—it's now faster, more reliable and lets the images do the talking" said Google on its official blog. The main feature of this update is you can quickly flip through the whole set of image previews using your keyboard, once you click the image. If you want to go back to looking at other search results, you can just scroll down and pick up right where you left off. To check out the website where the image is hosted, you can click on the photo or use the tools available. Google said that their new design is rolling out worldwide over the next few days. And they hope this update makes it easier and even a bit more fun to find the images we're looking for.

As we are know, in the beginning of January 2013. Canonical announce their new project called Ubuntu Phone. From the beginning Ubuntu was just another Linux distro,  but now Canonical driving Ubuntu far beyond its beginnings as just another Linux distro into an Operating System that works on  television and even being  an android and iPhone competitor, Ubuntu is skating to where they puck is going to be. But, which such a bold move, there are significant obstacles to overcome. The soon to be released Ubuntu Phone is paving the way that all smart phones will eventually go. Back to the late  1943 where  computers were gigantic, filling rooms and requiring constant care and maintenance. Over time, the components required to build the computers become smaller and cheaper, till eventually it was possible to put one on your desk until the laptop computer, a smaller, more portable, but just as powerful machine was made and make it nearly obsolete. And then, come the smartphone era, wh

Steve Tornio and Brian Martin just published a  5,000 word rant  against anyone who dares utter the name Sun Tzu in connection with information security. According to Tornio and Martin, Sun Tzu – the principal strategic authority who’s seminal work has served to guide China’s military and civilian leadership for 2500 years, is “ not relevant to modern day InfoSec ” because  “information security is not warfare (leaving aside actual warfare, of course” . That’s a pretty huge stipulation considering that the People’s Republic of China has been heavily invested in information technology R&D to revolutionize both its Armed Forces and its civilian infrastructure simultaneously for the past 20 years or so. The same is true for the Russian Federation (sans Sun Tzu, of course). I’d love to hear either of these two gentlemen discuss where they make the distinction between InfoSec for the enterprise versus InfoSec as an “expression of warfare by other means” (to paraphrase Clausewitz)

Sony has issued a small update to the new PlayStation Store, one that's aimed at improving your browsing experience by speeding up navigation. The patch is, not surprisingly, rather small, weighing in at 26MB, and pushes the app to version 1.02. Some report that after the patch, load times for the Store are still pretty slow, but overall wait times have been shortened, especially when you're moving between pages. The new PlayStation Store launched last year and  got off to a rough start , though such things are to be expected. The new design was intended to make the Store more intuitive, though it seems that slowness persisted even after the new look went live. Source:   Eurogamer Section:   Sony Consoles
