			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So here comes the chinese kickoff to Apple&#8217;s Ipad. I wonder how these chinese engineers possess to make and craft the technology in their so wonderful and cheap priced ways. There is no any personal used hardware product in this universe which is not cloned by chinese. I respect this talent of them.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.technhack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/iped_Chinese.jpg"><br />
</a><a href="http://www.technhack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/iped_Chinese1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-325  aligncenter" title="iped_Chinese" src="http://www.technhack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/iped_Chinese1.jpg" alt="" width="336" height="165" /></a></p>
<p>The so called product is called IPED and has been released in Shenzhen, China. The price you need to pay to grab it in your hand is only  and it&#8217;s only $100-150 ( Approx 4-5 times cheaper to the lowest model price of Apple&#8217;s IPAD). Its very cheap priced look alike ipad hardware.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="350" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CRGeuEmVWds" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CRGeuEmVWds"></embed></object></p>
<p>Here are some basic key qualities reviewed up of the product.</p>
<ul>
<li>The device runs on Google&#8217;s Android 1.5 Open Source Operating system. Its codenamed as Cupcake</li>
<li>The device supports maximum of 16GB space through micro sd slot as compared to Apple which supports 64GB Space.</li>
<li>It works on 1 GB RAM whereas Apple runs on 256MB RAM.</li>
<li>The weight is bit heavier compared to IPAD.</li>
<li>The IPED runs over some mobile intel based  of 600-MHz RockChip processor.</li>
<li>Screen is 7 inched with a resolution of only 800 by 480 pixels whereas compared to IPAD its 1024 by 768 pixels and screen of size 9.7 inch.</li>
<li>No indication that clears IPED have networking supports other than WiFi&#8211;Wireless B and Wireless G support.</li>
</ul>
<p>At last but not least, IPED is going to be a grabby product for the tech lovers who cant afford IPAD at the moment. Moreover IPED gives a complete feel of as if having IPAD in your hands although it has not used any applications of APPLE. Google&#8217;s Android has made it all possible. My goodness, its cheap but do comes packed with good features to have hands on.</p>
<p>Orphan Electronics, the iPed&#8217;s  creator, may soon release more versions with various more features compared with Apples market strategies.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="350" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q599sQ41_cI" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q599sQ41_cI"></embed></object></p>
<p>But folks do remember, APPLE IS APPLE. Nothing can beat them in their end product design and quality of product they inherit in them. Thats why we love their products although they lack basic features.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.technhack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-238" title="facebook_security" src="http://www.technhack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook.jpg" alt="" width="530" height="116" /></a></p>
<p>We everyone or most of us must be having our social account on very known world&#8217;s number 1 social networking webiste i.e. FACEBOOK. It has evolved so way that now users are sick of using it badly or meanfully. I remember the news which was on top of tech channels that Facebook even challenged GOOGLE directly in means of most visited website in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA for an entire week at a stretch. No doubt, facebook&#8217;s growth is phenomenal.</p>
<p>Now the thing of what we should we worried for is security of our and our friends personal contents. However, the site has also lately being receiving lot of excessive criticism for its  privacy policies.  Joan Goodchild, senior editor of CSO (Chief Security Officer) Online,  claims marketing efforts by the company often results in a compromise on  account holders&#8217; privacy, reports CBS News. This makes the scenario more clear.</p>
<p>Some of the risks explained by him are as following.</p>
<p><strong>1. Your information is being shared with third parties.</strong></p>
<p>According  to Facebook policy as on April 2010, “When you connect with an  application or website it will have access to General Information about  you. The term General Information includes your and your friends’ names,  profile pictures, gender, user IDs, connections, and any content shared  using the Everyone privacy setting. &#8230; The default privacy setting for  certain types of information you post on Facebook is set to “everyone.”  &#8230; Because it takes two to connect, your privacy settings only control  who can see the connection on your profile page. If you are  uncomfortable with the connection being publicly available, you should  consider removing (or not making) the connection.”</p>
<p><a href="http://www.technhack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook_Confidential.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-246" title="facebook_Confidential" src="http://www.technhack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook_Confidential.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="298" /></a></p>
<p><strong>2. Privacy settings revert to a less safe default mode after each redesign.</strong></p>
<p>In March, private e-mail according to a Gawker report, private email  addresses that many Facebook users wanted to keep hidden were revealed  publicly on a multitude of Facebook profiles. The glitch was later  resolved by Facebook.</p>
<p><strong>3. Facebook ads may contain malware.</strong></p>
<p>Recently,  a Facebook event invitation was reportedly sent to some over 2,300  friends of Jim Breyer, Accel Partners venture capitalist who sits on  Facebook&#8217;s board of directors, asking &#8220;Would you like a Facebook phone  number?&#8221; However, the message was actually a scam and the users who  entered their passwords in response to the message in turn sent the  whole thing to their friends lists too.</p>
<p>&#8220;This was a phishing scam and Jim&#8217;s account appears to have been  compromised,&#8221; read a statement from Facebook as provided to venture  industry news site PEHub.</p>
<p><strong>4. Your real friends unknowingly make you vulnerable.</strong><br />
On  May 6th, the popular social network patched a major security bug that  allowed users to snoop on their friends&#8217; private chats, and view their  pending friend requests. The exploit forced Facebook to temporarily  disable chat.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.technhack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-security.gif"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-247" title="facebook-security" src="http://www.technhack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-security.gif" alt="" width="200" height="205" /></a></p>
<p><strong>5. Scammers are creating fake profiles.</strong></p>
<p>Earlier this week, 15 privacy and consumer protection organizations  filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, alleging that the  site manipulates privacy settings to make users&#8217; personal information  available for commercial use. (ANI)</p>

<p><a href="http://www.sun.com/" target="_blank">Sun Microsystems</a><a href="http://www.sun.com/" target="_blank"> </a>has agreed to be bought by US tech giant Oracle in a $7.4bn (£5.1bn) deal, just two weeks after takeover talks with IBM fell apart.</p>
<p>Oracle announced today that it will pay $9.50 a share for Sun, making the company the latest in a string of acquisitions for Oracle&#8217;s chief executive Larry Ellison.</p>
<p><strong>Oracle&#8217;s offer is only slightly more than IBM was proposing to pay. The future of Sun was plunged into uncertainty on 6 April when the IBM talks collapsed.</strong></p>
<p>Oracle, which offers a range of business software including databases, customer relationship management programs and collaboration tools, hopes to conclude the deal by this summer.</p>
<p>&#8220;Oracle and Sun have been industry pioneers and close partners for more than 20 years,&#8221; said Sun chairman Scott McNealy. &#8220;This combination is a natural evolution of our relationship and will be an industry-defining event.&#8221;</p>

<p>Sun, which developed the Java software platform and whose products include Sparc chips, the Solaris operating system and the MySQL open source database, has cut thousands of jobs in recent years as it attempted to reduce costs. Under chief executive Jonathan Schwartz it has pursued an open source strategy, but the company struggled to deliver sufficient revenue growth after the dotcom boom ended.</p>
<p>Some analysts have speculated that Sun could be broken up, with its semiconductor, database and other software arms sold to different players.</p>
<p>Ellison said the deal would allow Oracle to &#8220;engineer an integrated system &#8211; applications to disk &#8211; where all the pieces fit and work together so customers do not have to do it themselves&#8221;. This, he claimed, would cut costs while improving performance and security.</p>
<p><strong>In recent years, Oracle has also bought Siebel, PeopleSoft &#8211; after a long and bitter battle &#8211; and BEA Systems.</strong></p>
<p>Oracle said that net of Sun&#8217;s cash and debt, the deal is valued at $5.6bn.</p>
