Ibiza - everything you need to know 2007-01-31 14:27:44 Ibiza is a Spanish island in the Mediterranean, and as such, the main language is Spanish or Catalan. But don’t worry almost all of the locals speak English.
The name Ibiza is derived from the Original Arabic word “Yabisah” as for Land or Landward in English. Eivissa is the official Catalan name and the name used by its inhabitants; but the name in Castilian Spanish and many other languages is Ibiza, often manifested by English speakers.
The Island of Ibiza is most famously known for its summer parties, with thousands of people flooding in for the big summer club nights.
There are eight main clubs on the Island :
Amnesia - Opposite San Rafael on the Ibiza town to San Antonio Road
Eden - San Antonio
Es Paradis - San Antonio, opposite Eden
El Divino - Ibiza Town’s marina area
Love Club - Playa Den Bossa
Pacha - Ibiza town towards Talamanca
Privilege - world’s biggest club, opposite Amnesia, near San Rafael
Space - Playa Den Bossa
These clubs are h
Apple sued by Cisco for iPhone brand 2007-01-31 13:14:26 Everyone knew this move had to be coming. While Apple
may have popularized the little “i” with products like iMac, iBook, iPod, iTunes and iLife, the iPhone
name has already been taken. Cisco
has owned the trademark for iPhone since 2000 when it was purchased from Infogear. Infogear originally filed for the trademark in 1996 (well before Apple jumped into the “i” business). Cisco just recently ushered the name into service with a new line of VoIP devices marketed by Cisco’s Linksys division.
Although Apple and Cisco have been in talks for quite some time over the iPhone name, no agreement was ever reached. Nevertheless, Apple boldly decided yesterday to announce the iPhone at MacWorld. Cisco isn’t too happy about the move and has filed a lawsuit against Apple, Inc.
“Cisco entered into negotiations with Apple in good faith after Apple repeatedly asked permission to use Cisco’s iPhone name,” said Mark Chandler, senior vice president

Hard Disk Drive in 1956 2007-01-30 13:01:27 That’s the image of a hard disk drive back in 1956. The Drive (more like the closet) had 5MB memory storage.
In September 1956 IBM launched the 305 RAMAC, the first computer with a
hard disk drive (HDD). The HDD weighed over a ton and stored 5MB of data.
It’s really nice knowing that now you can have a 4Gb PenDrive attached to your keys

Nice face 2007-01-29 23:29:09 In these kind of situations you really … really need to be a professional.
This actually happened 2007-01-29 01:36:55 A Charlotte, NC, lawyer purchased a box of very rare and expensive cigars, then insured them against fire among other things. Within a month having smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars and without yet having made even his first premium payment on the policy, the lawyer filed claim against the insurance company. In his claim, the lawyer stated the cigars were lost “in a series of small fires.” The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason: That the man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion.
The lawyer sued…and won! In delivering the ruling the judge agreed with the insurance company that the claim was frivolous. The Judge stated nevertheless, that the lawyer held a policy from the company in which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure them against fire, without defining what is considered to be unacceptable fire, and was obligated to pay the claim. Rather than endure lengthy and c

Adobe wants to make PDF an International Standard 2007-02-02 18:46:26 Adobe plans on submitting its Portable Document Format (PDF) specification as a world standard. PDFs files have become a de-facto standard around the world because of their WYSIWYG nature both in viewing and printing. Now, Adobe wants
to cement that in stone and possibly hamper the adoption of Microsoft’s competing format XML Paper Specification (XPS).
The company is submitting version 1.7 of the PDF specification to AIIM which is the Enterprise Content Management Association of the International
Organization for Standard
ization (ISO). You can read the full specification at Adobe’s website here.
The PDF was created way back in 1993 and its usage has reached millions of people, mainly in the business community where it is known as an easy to print format. PDF files are read with the freely downloadable Adobe Acrobat Reader and are created with Adobe Acrobat. One criticism of PDF is the high cost of Adobe Acrobat, but the open source community has made several free creation Read more:Adobe

Dubai - everything you need to know 2007-02-05 23:50:37 When we are talking about Dubai
we are referring to one of the following :
one of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates on the Persian Gulf
the same emirate’s main city, sometimes called “Dubai City” to distinguish it from the emirate
Dubai the most populous and second largest emirate of the United Arab Emirates after Abu Dhabi. Dubai is distinct from other members of the UAE in that revenues from oil account for only 6% of its gross domestic product. A majority of the emirate’s revenues are from the Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZ) and, increasingly, from tourism.
ORIGINALLY a fishing development, Dubai was taken over in 1830 by a branch of the Bani Yas Tribe, the Maktoum family, who still rule the Emirate today. In the early days, traditional activities included goat herding, cultivating dates, fishing and pearl diving. Oil has been a crucial factor in Dubai’s development since the late 1960’s.
TODAY, Dubai is a class destination wi
Blu-ray and HD DVD Hacked Already 2007-02-05 14:20:47 There’s a hole in the copyright protection for Blu-ray and HD DVD movies that you could drive a truck through. The funny thing is, it’s an alarmingly easy and obvious hack: Print Screen. Sure, you’d have to hit Print Screen and save each one for days to capture the thousands of frames that make up one HD movie, but it’s no big deal to automate this process and then stack the frames up, and there you have it—a near-perfect pixel-for-pixel copy of the Luddite movie studios’ buried treasure.
Â
According to German computer magazine CT, Toshiba acknowledged the vulnerability and vowed that it would be plugged up with the next release of DVD player software. But still. We can only laugh when we recall the interminable demos where smug Blu-ray and HD DVD hucksters blathered on about how it was impossible to hack their invulnerable copy protection. You can’t lock down eyeballs. Information wants to be free, and this is just the first crack in those walls Read more:Hacked
Romania: Software piracy made us what we are today 2007-02-05 14:05:51 Romania’s president delivered an encomium to software piracy
during Bill Gates’ world tour promoting Windows Vista.
Â
President Traian Basescu reportedly told Gates that software piracy helped build a vibrant technology industry in Romania.
Â
 Appearing with Gates at the opening of a Microsoft global technology center in Bucharest, he said. “Piracy helped the young generation discover computers. It set off the development of the IT industry in Romania,” he said. Cue sound of Microsoft PR jaws dropping.
Â
“[Piracy] helped Romanians improve their creative capacity in the IT industry, which has become famous around the world… ten years ago, it was an investment in Romania’s friendship with Microsoft and with Bill Gates.”
Â
Gates is not reported to have responded, but his company campaigns against piracy and works vigorously with prosecutors to bring criminals to justice.

The Romanian IT service sector is expected to grow 16.8 per cen Read more:Software
Google loses GMail in Europe 2007-02-05 14:03:16 Google has failed to win the right to register the term “Gmail” as a wide-ranging Europe
an trademark.
Â
The Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market (OHIM), the body which is responsible for European community trademarks, rejected Google’s appeal after a stiff battle with German-born venture capitalist Daniel Giersch.
Â
 Giersch, who has held his trademark for six years, has been fighting this battle since Google launched its email service in 2004. The German entrepreneur founded a same-day mail delivery service called GMail designed to offer a swifter alternative to the Deutsche Post.
Â
Last year, a district court in Hamburg already handed Giersch victories at both the preliminary and final stages of the litigation and Google was ordered to remove all Gmail references from its German service.
Â
After the ruling, Giersch also announced lawsuits to defend more recent registrations of the trademark in Switzerland, Norway and Monaco.
