Products that people usually don't buy/purchase ON
April 30 2008, 3:37 AM
Many people have found that it is simply easier to purchase items
online, than worry about physically walking into a store, and dealing
with people first-hand. As it is, there are many advantages to this
approach, and it really depends on the person as to which one will
win out in the end. Advantages of Purchasing online.You can
purchase products that not for sale or not in your country, like unique
products. you can save yourself a lot of time and effort another
advantage is the selection.
But why there are people usually don't purchase online. There are
people that doesn't purchase online becuase of the risk they are
going to make. Like giving the information. if the the website can be
trusted then there is no problem with that, but if not., it's a big
problem. They can go through your account. another one like
returning if there is damage in the product. how can they exchange
or return it if they ordered itout of the country.If they so, I think that
will take too long. some have doubts about it. Purchasing online has
a greater chance of scam.They are afraid that their order will not
arrive. and also another reason why people don't purchase online is
the shippment will cost to much. There are people think that
purchasing online it is notsafe. But for me it will depend on the
people. where there are comfortable purchasing online or not.
And peolpe don't usaully purchase in the net are Foods. anykind of
foods that has a expiration date..hehe..Shirt because it may differ in
size, Gadgets, because it may have defects you can never
exchange or return it, if you can then thats Good. Jewelry, It is a
precious product and many will be interested about it, they can steal
it.

UnderDog Movie review
April 28 2008, 1:52 AM
UnderDog
Cast: Jason Lee (voice), Alex Neuberger, Peter DInklage,
James Belushi,
Patrick Warburton, Taylor Momsen, Amy Adams (voice),
Brad Garrett
(voice), Jay Leno (cameo)
Director: Frederik Du Chau
Screenplay: Adam Rifkin, Joe Piscatella, Craig A. WIlliams
In the film, a beagle (voiced by Jason Lee) is found by a
crazy scientist named Simon (Dinklage), who has been
using stray animals for experiments to change their genetic
make-up in an effort to perfect his formula for gaining great
strength and powers. This beagle escapes the scientist's
evil clutches, but not before immersing himself with a batch
of the powerful liquid formula, which changes his genetic
to give him the equivalent of major superhero powers that
allow him great strength, keen senses, and the ability to
fly. After escaping, the dog is found by a security guard
(Belushi), who takes the pooch home in the hope of finding
a way to bond with his emotionally-confused son, Jack
(Neuberger). The dog is named "Shoeshine", and after it
is discovered that he has powers to speak to Jack, the boy
warms up to the dog and helps him train to use his powers
to fight crime. However, the mad Simon is still on the
loose, out to dog-nap Shoeshine to extract his DNA and
use it for his own diabolical purposes to rule Capitol City
and terrorize it for his own advancement.
From the first moment you see the picture of Underdog on
the movie poster, you know it's going to be full of
wrongheaded decision-making on every conceptual level.
Seeing a real-life dog speaking and donning
a cape just isn't funny in itself, and, if anything, impedes
the comic value altogether. We like dogs, and are so used
to seeing them as loveable creatures that when the
maniacal Simon rounds them up to use in
hideous lab experiments, it's rather distastefully executed
from a family film standpoint. It's also a dumb idea to give
the dog characters actual human-like lip-movements when
they talk to one another, which is also more disturbing than
funny when you actually see them emote.
Amazing movie..It's funny..Everyone will like it. specially to
those people who love dogs you will enjoy it, if you haven't
watch this film..I hope you will watch it someday..

E-commerce Security Issue
April 17 2008, 2:40 AM
The E-commerce security issue. there are many issue of a small and big company
right now. especially when they are using Initernet for their revenue, transaction and
market their product on a global scale. Example of these issues are malicious code,
hacking and information gathering. malicious code or Also known as malware; it
includes viruses, Trojan horses, worms and harmful applications. These techniques
are used by a number of people on the internet in order to be able to infiltrate the
systems of individuals or mostly companies and be able to disrupt or retrieve
sensitive information. This is very important, because depending on the transaction
conducted online, either credit cards, exchange of information and company data, the i
ndividual using the techniques above can use the information to his advantage. This
can be often used for corporate espionage, or to disrupt company day to day
business. Hacking; Hackers are individuals that use their skills and find weaknesses
in web sites and or computer systems to infiltrate and retrieve information often with a
criminal intent. Several times hackers destroy archives, web sites, applications and
computer systems which this in technological terms is called cybervandalism.
Hackers, that post these vulnerabilities of company owned networks, programs and
application on the internet, and hackers that vandalise for what ever purpose company
data compromise the sensitive information and shake the trust of companies trading
in the B2B environment.Information gathering is also a way of compromising
corporate transactional or confidential information. This can be done in four ways: •
Social engineering. The simplest of attacks. An individual can compromise and find
weaknesses in companies by just having casual phone conversations with company
staff. A “con-artist” can retrieve information from company staff by asking simple
information like, where are your servers, or what database is the company using or
operating system is in place. As a result the hackers can better direct their attack and
thus increase their chances of success. It vital for companies to ensure that staff is
properly educated on the confidentiality of this information. • Dumpster Diving. Even
today companies throw away a big number of paper based information without
disposing of it correctly (e.g. shredding). Individuals tend to search through the
organisations trash and find, sensitive information like, organisation charts,
password, directories-mails, and confidential client information such as bank
accounts, recent purchases etc. • Network sniffing. A big number of sensitive data
travelling on the web and especially between businesses sometimes are not
encrypted. This allows an attacker that uses special tools to be able to gain access to
the connections made and read the data. This can be from simple e-mails to e-mail
contracts and B2B trading agreements. • Basic Services. Operating systems are
installed with default services that attackers can exploit by using the correct tools.
These often reveal login information which the attacker can use to gain access to
company systems.
I feel really Bad. In this kind of big environment. there are many ways to find income or to have money. whether they do it in a legal way or illegal ways.

My first entry..(Web designer)
April 10 2008, 8:20 PM
Hi..
this is my first time to post a blog..this is our assignment.
we need to find a career option and discuss its job description..
I chose a Web designer..i don't know why..
I think this job is interesting..i suppose..hehe..
anyway here it is..
Check out the job description of a Web designer and its possible companies.
Web designers are responsible for the layout, visual appearance and usability of a
website. This role may overlap with that of a Multimedia programmer and web
architect. Using a combination of graphic design skills and technical knowledge of
how web pages are created, the work involves:
* liaising closely with a customer or client at the design stage to answer questions
such as: why is the site needed? who are the target audience? who are the leading
competitors? etc;
* producing a design that will be attractive to the target user, has a logical navigation
and has all the features required;
* writing web pages in a combination of codes, such as hypertext mark-up language
(HTML), Javascript, Actionscript, ColdFusion, Java, Perl and Flash, or using
code-generating programs, such as Dreamweaver;
* deciding on how images and other material will be digitally optimised and
presented for the web;
* ensuring that material on the web site is accessible to all groups including those
with disabilities;
* testing the site for functionality in different browsers and at different resolutions;
* fixing errors.
Web designers will have knowledge of graphic design packages such as Fireworks
or Photoshop
in order to produce basic layout and manipulate images. Skills in cascading style
sheets (CSS),
e-commerce and server side technologies, such as PHP and Perl, and internet
security are also
important. As users gain faster access to the internet via broadband,
web designers with skills in multimedia and interactivity are likely to be in greater
demand.
I think its possible companies are..those compapanies who have their website to
mantain and design...I suppose almost all of the campany right now has a website..
To my teacher. God Bless Ma'am hehe...
