A tester for the One

29.05.2007The future of wireless networking in Windows 7
Long Zheng: Its rare for a week to go by
without a few interesting Microsoft job advertisements. One of which
posted last week provides a pretty good idea at how the next version of Windows will improve the wireless
networking experience.
Vista was about making Wi-Fi connections as seamless, manageable and secure as wired networks.
The next Windows version is really about taking Wireless networking to the next level by enabling new complete end to end scenarios and
experiences that are going to change how windows PCs interact with each other and other devices and nodes over a wireless network.
As a part of the Windows Networking Ecosystem Technologies team, you will be working on scenarios around virtualizing Wireless to allow
connections to multiple networks simultaneously. You will be working on enabling new windows to windows connectivity paths within a wireless network
to improve wireless throughput and latency. You will be working on wireless-only office and mesh networking scenarios that will make setup and
management of wireless networks quick and inexpensive with the goal to reduce TCO for centrally controlled and secured deployments by improving
manageability, performance and reliability.
As a part of this work, you will be working closely on existing and in-works wireless
standards such as IEEE 802.11s, 802.11k, 802.11r, 802.11w. This position will provide you the unique opportunity of working on core wireless
areas as well as collaborating with several other key Windows technologies to deliver a complete functional end to end scenario. The work will be in
both the Windows kernel and user space.

04.11.2007Trojan, distributed over torrent, blocks torrent sites
A trojan named Troj/Qhost-AC, has been spotted on torrent sites labeled as a keygen for popular software. But in a strange surprise, the trojan would
modify the users host file, rather than generating a key, changing popular torrent web sites like, The Pirate Bay, Suprbay (The Pirate Bay forum) and
Mininova, the two most popular torrent sites on the internet to 127.0.0.1, making it impossible to visit these sites. The Trojan caused pop-ups on
users screens and played a sound file saying "downloading is wrong". The Trojan didn't install any other spyware or malware onto the victims
PC, other than blocking the three web sites, something that many users thought was strange.

06.01.2009Mobile WiMax spec becomes a
standard
IEEE approves
802.16e
The IEEE this week formally
ratified the mobile version of
the WiMax wireless broadband
system as a
standard.
Known as 802.16e, the mobile
standard now officially
extends the already ratified
802.16-2004 - aka 802.11d -
specification, which details
connections between fixed
locations. The 802.16e
standard allows a base-station
to communicate with a moving
device.
The two
versions of WiMax are not
compatible, but both are
expected to be ultimately
implemented in dual-mode
base-stations, allowing a
single antenna to talk to
transceivers mounted on the
side of buildings and to
devices carried by cars,
trains and
pedestrians.
By the
end of 2005, 802.16-2004 and
802.16e should have been
merged into a single IEEE
document, 802.16e-2005...

Office 2010 Has Leaked!
The Technical Preview of Office 2010 has officially leaked! WZor.net uploaded a torrent a few hours ago for both the x86 and x64 versions of the
new Office suite.
Without further ado, I present:
Microsoft Office 2010 (x86)
AND
Microsoft Office 2010 (x64)
The x64
torrent doesn't seem to be very active at the moment, but over time, as it gains more seeders, hopefully it will pick up. We were achieving speeds of
up to 1000kbps during our download of the x86 version, so the torrent is going strong... That is, until the rest of the world picks up on it...
Download quickly!
While you eagerly await the end of your download, check out a screenshot gallery from WZor as well (the version pictured
in the screenshots is the x64 version).
The links in this article were obtained from WZor's homepage, http://wzor.net/indexx.html

Australia to test blocking all P2P and Bit Torrent traffic
Australia has been known to have high levels of censorship. It should come as no surprise to those in the land down under that the government is
planning to filter P2P and Bit Torrent traffic in live pilot tests. Senator Conroy went on the record saying "technology that filters peer-to-peer
and Bit Torrent traffic does exist and it is anticipated that the effectiveness of this will be tested in the live pilot trial". It is a drastic
step to filter out all P2P and Bit Torrent traffic as it assumes that those channels are only used for piracy. One example of legitimate use is the
popular online game World of Warcraft.

"txtor" tool circumvents basic torrent blockers
To the frustration of many students and other avid torrent downloaders, some universities and ISPs have been known to block the download of .torrent
files in an effort to curb illegal file sharing. This quick and dirty method of filtering Internet content is usually done through the use of a proxy
server that will look for a torrent mime-type in the file or, even simpler, the file extension itself. Although this method seems almost too simple to
take seriously, enough admins have found it effective enough to justify its use.
That's why a group of developers launched txtor today, a site that makes it possible to download .torrent files as if they were text
files. As the site explains, from the user perspective, the service functions very simply. Plug in the URL of a torrent file, and it's translated to
a text file for you to download. For a moderately more technical explanation, the site merely takes the file and changes the mimetype and extension,
then spits it back out at you as a text file in order to bypass proxy-level torrent file blocks. Then, all you need to do is change the file extension
back from .txt to .torrent and open it up in your favorite torrent client. Based on our testing of txtor, we can say that the tool works exactly as
advertised.

Beware the 802.11n 'power' play
Next-generation 802.11n systems promise to considerably improve WLAN performance. But the processing required for the boost sucks up more power than
the older 802.11a/b/g networks. Still, many enterprise-class Wi-Fi vendors claim to deliver full 802.11n capabilities without enterprise customers
having to touch their power infrastructures. So what gives?
Power is just one issue for which youll have to don your detectives
hat when exploring the comparative performance, range, and upgrade issues associated with a move to 802.11n. But Siemens announcement last week that
it had solved the power problem for 802.11n with its HiPath Wireless 802.11n product set, due to ship in March, set me on an investigative path to
find out what the various suppliers are offering and what their recommended approaches to powering 802.11n networks are.

Controversy over new Pirate Bay Facebook feature
The Pirate Bay has added a small, but significant feature to their website which will almost certainly prove to be controversial. The new feature is a
link provided on each torrent page which allows users to post the link to the particular torrent onto their Facebook profile. Friends can then begin
to download the particular torrent straight from their Facebook page, assuming a torrent client is installed. Many websites allow their users to do
the very same thing – even Neowin allows its users to submit news articles to Facebook; however the controversy lies in just what users will be
sharing, with the use of this.

Next gen iPhone / Touch to have 802.11n and FM radio
As reported by AppleInsider, the next generation of iPhone and iPod Touch, rumored to be released in June or July, roughly the same date as the iPhone
firmware 3.0 releases, will include many new enhancements over previous iPhones. The next generation iPhone and iPod Touch are rumored to support
wireless 802.11n, previously only supports 5Ghz 802.11a and 2.4 802.11b/g networks. The upgrade will allow low-power 802.11n networks to be utilized
for speed, where all MacBook's currently support 802.11n. The next generation iPhone and iPod Touch are also rumored to support FM radio signals,
to both receive and transmit capabilities.

Broadcom: 802.11n unlikely to replace 802.11g
Broadcom has revised its outlook for 802.11n chips, envisioning that 802.11n is unlikely to replace 802.11g as the mainstream technology standard for
the WLAN market, according to Michael Hurlston, vice president and general manager of Broadcom's WLAN business unit. The price difference between
802.11n and 802.11g solutions was a fundamental factor in Broadcom's shift in outlook for 802.11n chips, Hurlston added. Since the manufacture of
802.11g chips is mature and the prices for 802.11g devices are very competitive, 802.11g will continue to be the mainstream for the industry, Hurlston
stated.

Steal This Film 2 hits File Sharing Networks
Steal This Film 1, which was downloaded nearly 3 million times, has now been succeeded officially (as the sequel premiered and was ironically leaked
last month) by none other than Steal This Film 2. By producing this video, the League of Noble Peers, which features many prominent individuals from
the BitTorrent community, has the goal of “ bringing new people into the leagues of those now prepared to think 'after intellectual
property', think creatively about the future of distribution, production and creativity .” For those still confused, Steal This Film is a
series documenting the movement against intellectual property. The films discuss piracy culture as well as raids against file sharing websites. In the
spirit of piracy, the movie is completely free for download.
