.Two (2) Columns:It was nice to see the my blog of 2 columns which was always center aligned in the screen. But without adding widgets, tags and scripts etc you don need to to have 3 column based Templates.Three (3) Columns:These days most of us using laptops of wide screen as i am .. and even sometimes the Wide screen LCD monitors in home or office use.

Skype Security Information Phishing Page by Frauds 2007-06-29 16:12:00 Suddenly i received an email at my Gmail whose subject was titled as - "security@Skype
.co.uk" in last 28th July, 2007. I tried reading the email carefully and then i noticed it's not a valid email from Skype.com at all! It's a security phishing page sent from another server. And how come Skype doesn't know its' user's name? :pThere it asked me to click on a link to update my personal information which showed as : https://secure.skype.com/login_update_done=1115487 (an invalid page from Skype.com)But the actual link was redirected to : http://skype.udaptor.googlepages.com (a Googlepage already Blocked by Google.com)See the below Screen shots for identifying the Email how could it be a phishing Page? Here in this below picture you can see the email sender is not Skype itself. It's the fraud's mail server located in a different hosting provider called : Host.theservergroup.comI should ask everyone to have a look at this Article of why mostly even an highly educated person cou

Let's think for a moment together and discuss in a new issue.I have noticed that most of all IT service providing companies in Bangladesh and even in abroad are really worried about the upcoming situation - "LACK of IT professionals or IT Graduates". Even inside the University authorities they are thinking why the enrollment in Computer Science or Computer Science & Engineering is decreasing so rapidly?There are few points i want to show you could be the reason for this up coming risk. 1. Salary Issue: (Money talks!)When the IT field just boomed in Bangladesh, new companies came in and hired IT professional in high ranged salaries which are might not that easy to get these days as there are more competition in getting jobs in IT market. So the salary range is decreasing in a way and the new High school passed students don't want to get graduation in CS while they see there are even more s Read more:Crisis
