This has led to problems for many, today young people publishes all sorts of things online without thinking, this can, and has made problems for people, that twittering or posting things on their Facebook.

Here are five people who did not got the job or was fired from their jobs after twittering

2. CNN editor Octavia Nasr was fired in July 2010 after she ruled on the controversial Muslim leader Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah on Twitter. In connection with his death, she twittered “I am sorry Sayyed Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah death … One of Hezbollah’s major leaders who I respect.” It was a big uprising in the media and her credibility as a journalist was questioned. As a result, she eventually got fired.

3. 22-year-old Connor Riley tweeted about a job offer from Cisco: “Cisco offered me a great a job! Now I have to weigh a fat paycheck to commute to San Jose and a job I hate. “A Cisco employee saw the comment and replied:” Anyone who intends to hire you is probably interested to know that you will hate the job. ” The result was obvious that he got the job.

4. That was when the consultant, who worked for the Detroit-based automaker Chrysler, once again stuck in a traffic jam on the way to work that he lost patience, logged onto his employer’s Twitter account and wrote “Ironically, that Detroit is known as” motor city “when no one here even manage to run a f *** ing car “.

China’s largest Internet portal Sina have replaced Google’s services with its own technology. This is a real setback for Google’s presence in the country.

Google has lost market in China since January last year, when the company that it will not longer agree to censor the content to comply with the Chinese government’s rules. Google have also accused China of blocking the e-mail service Gmail, which, however, is denied by China

Google is one of the few companies that have stood up to China, but according to Google, it is not just China that censor, they claims that more than 40 governments worldwide use of large-scale censorship of information via the Internet.

At that time the installation was not graphic, and I have said before that Linux ‘Will Never” grow strong for the home users as long as this not was sorted.
In late 2004, the first vesionen of Ubunto came and it have graphical interface.

Linux began to grow, got more and more users, but it never went that big as I thought it should be. And now, many years after has iOS for Apple iPad passed Linux all distrubation in less then one year

As I’ve written before, Windows 7 is the most widely used OS in the U.S. by 32%, followed by 31% for Windows Xp, Windows Vista, with 19% and Apple Mac X by nearly 15%
Linux has only 0.7% and is then passed by the iOS for iPad with 1.20%. Another thing we should have in mind, is that the IOS is only used by iPad (mobiles are not included) while the other OS is used on both laptops and desktops

The war between Adobe (Flash) and Apple, because Apple’s continued refusal to flash in their system, has probably no one miss.
Many have believed and claim that this going to be flash’s death, and Adobe has been fighting for their flash as their program. Adobe flash is the biggest one on the market.

But there are also quite a few, including me, who said that Apple’s refusal to Flash will not have too much significance to flash to be or not be on the Web in coming years. This is because of YouTube video clips, archival work in flash.

But now it’s perhaps over …

Google has announced that all new videos uploaded on YouTube from now will be encoded to the open format Webm. But for YouTube, to konventera all video-clips, that is already on the site, will take time, so flash will still be an important part of YouTube for some time foreward.
Google has also announced that they will end with their own “Google Video” this service never have a real breakthrough. On May 15 they shut down this service.

Browsers like Firefox, Chrome and Opera are already prepared for WebM while Internet Explorer and Safari have to install a plugin to run the video in this format

FTP standarn is been around ever since 16 April 1971 and is still used widely around the world.

Abhay BuAbhay Bushan called the man who created the original FTP protocol when he studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Tehcnology. The specification that allowed large file transfers on the Arpanet was published as RFC 114 April 16, 1971, which means that the protocol is now over 40 years old.

Ftp quickly became a standard when it tolerate temporary disruptions in the transfers and requires a minimal amount of so-called handshake between the parties, but all traffic is in clear text which means security risks.

But meantime it has become more secure and since 1996 is started to be combined with SSL encryption.

Despite the challengers as P2P networks, is not likely that ftp protocol will disapear in the next few years.

Computer manufacturer Asus is the company that have uploaded the source code Android Honeycomb, even before Google itself.

Asus has recently launched their new pad, Transformer, and when it made the the source code the Honeycombs kernel available.
On their site, they say that is version V8.2.2.6 and the file is a 97 megabyte zip file. The entire code for Android 3.0, you will not get, but probably enough to interest developer to start developing for other devices than Transformer.

Asus haven’t done anything wrong, they simply followed the rules under the GNU General Public License (GPL), there it actually says that the source code of a product must comply with or be made available.

Google itself has not released the code and the have even delayed the delivery of the operating system to developers. The only thing thatis been around software development kit for Android 3.0 Honeycomb, that has been available since late February.
