Large PC manufacturers known as Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) have the ability to pre-activate Windows XP operating system installed on new PCs via SLP (System Locked Preinstallation).

18.01.2009MIT to launch Kerberos Consortium
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is to launch a consortium to further the development of Kerberos, its single sign-on authentication
protocol.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) said the Kerberos Consortium, which will be launched on 27 September,
is being formed to "provide a mechanism to permit greater industry participation in the funding and development of Kerberos, and thus allow it to
evolve into the universal single sign-on mechanism users need, but do not yet have".
Kerberos was initially developed by MIT in
the 1980s, and was released under an open-source licence in 1987. MIT has funded the project since then, but said it has reached a stage where it can
no longer meet the demand for development...

29.10.2005Backup More Than 1GB per Second Using SQL2008 Backup Compression
Backup Compression in SQL2008 performs very well and it is easy to use. You could either use With Compression along with the Backup command or
simply enable default backup compression through sp_configure by setting backup compression default value to 1. It is very convenient for backups of
large databases in our customer lab environment.
A few things you could do to make the backup compression perform better. The
hardware we used is 32way HP
Superdome and

03.03.2008Bill Gates uses 10,000 times the energy of the average American, MIT says
Time to start the finger-pointing again. A class at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has begun to track the carbon footprint of
different lifestyle in different nations. And the picture painted for the U.S. isnt pretty: Even the most power conscious people in this country use
more than twice the energy of the average person around the world. If you are looking for people with the worst carbon footprint, look among the
super-rich such as Bill Gates and Oprah Winfrey, MIT says.

29.04.2008Outlook 2007/2003/2002 Add-in: Personal Folders Backup
Backing up your Microsoft Outlook information is quicker and easier with the Personal Folders Backup feature. Personal Folders Backup creates backup
copies of your .PST files at regular intervals, in Outlook 2002 and later versions, making it easy to keep all of your Outlook folders safely backed
up.
With Personal Folders Backup, you can choose which of your .PST files you wish to back up, and how often you wish to back
them up.
Each .PST file contains all of your Outlook folders, including the Inbox, Calendar, and Contacts. You can have a single
.PST file (usually called "Internet Folders" or "Personal Folders" in your Folder List), but you might also have an additional .PST file that you
use for archiving ("Archiving Folders"). Personal Folders Backup lets you back up any or all of these .PST files.

15.08.2006Whats new with backup and Restore on Vista SP1
Christine Fok: Vista SP1 Backup & Restore contains many updates that improve reliability. Great effort has been put into improving the overall quality
of File Backup, Complete PC Backup and System Restore.
Many of those important changes may not be visible to users, but if you
run Backup and Restore tools, you can see some functionality improvements that many users had asked for:
Backing-up EFS
files
File Backup now backs up EFS (Encrypting File System) encrypted files. For those concerned with security, the encryption on
those files are kept throughout the process. So dont worry, you wont compromise your documents security by using our Vista SP1 backup tool.
Restoring Complete PC to a new motherboard
With SP1, you can use Complete PC Restore to a new motherboard that uses
previously absent disk controller. That means, if the new hardware requires an inbox driver that was previously disabled when the Complete PC backup
was taken, the required critical driver will be enabled in the last stage of the restore to ensure the machine will be bootable.
OTS credentials for scheduling Backup
In Vista (pre-SP1), only someone logged in as administrator could configure backup.
Now, its possible for standard users to configure a backup. When scheduling a backup, standard users will be asked to supply administrator
credentials. That is what we call over-the-shoulder (OTS) credentials. That is because well, if the user doesnt know the credentials, the
administrator usually type it over the users shoulder :-)

05.08.2008MIT touts new mind-to-machine algorithm
Boffins at MIT are getting ever closer to a direct mind-to-machine link that would translate a person's thoughts into instructions for a machine. The
university is developing the technology so a paralysed person might be able to operate a prosthetic purely by using their mind.
There are lots of teams working in similar areas. The notion that brain activity should be monitored and used to derive a person's intentions is
not new. But MIT says its algorithm will work with all the rest of the research that has already been done, rather than adding a new technique to the
pile.
Lakshminarayan "Ram" Srinivasan, lead author of a paper on the subject, said: "The work represents an important advance
in our understanding of how to construct algorithms in neural prosthetic devices for people who cannot move to act or speak...we don't need to
reinvent a new paradigm for each modality or brain region."

04.10.2007Fifteen backup programs to safeguard your data
There's no way around it: Malware happens, drive failure happens, natural disaster happens. If your data isn't backed up, it's gone -- or it will
require an extremely expensive, not-certain-to-succeed recovery operation.
If all you have on your system are scribblings and
unimportant downloads, you might not care. But you probably have something of value: scanned pictures of ancestors, wedding videos, a presentation you
worked all week on, the song that's going to make you famous.
It pays to back up, and it has never been easier to do so. No
matter what method you're most comfortable with, be it traditional file-based backup, image backup, or continuous data protection, one of the
following 15 tools will do the trick.

wearing the internet. The very clever students at the MIT research labs have been doing some very clever things again. This time they have devised a
way for a user to surf the web on a piece of paper, a shirt sleeve, or even skin. The Media Lab at MIT have been exploring the idea of wearable
computing for some time, and other companies have entered their offerings into this market also.

19.07.2009MIT, TI Team Develops Low-power Chips
A new breed of microchip is just over the horizon, thanks to development by Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Texas Instruments scientists.
The new low-power microchip is to be presented at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference in San Francisco today by Joyce Kwon of MIT's
Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
The standard operating voltage for microchips has kept small devices
like cellular phones, portable music devices and digital cameras from having a long and healthy battery life. Most commercial microchips operate on
about one volt of power. While this is not a great deal of energy, it adds up more quickly than the average iPod user would like. MIT & TI's new
low-voltage chip operates at just .3 volts.

05.02.2008Windows Home Server Technical Brief for Home Computer Backup and Restore
Windows® Home Server will automatically backup your home computers to the home server and allow you to easily restore the entire computer or an
individual file or folder to a previous point in time. The Windows Home Server Backup solution backs up only the data that has not already been backed
up. Even if you have several copies of the same data on different computers, the data is backed up only once on your home server and your home server
keeps track of what data was stored on each home computer on each day. This makes it efficient in the time it takes for backups to complete and the
amount of space that is used on your home server.
