Windows Vista!!

On January 30, 2007, Microsoft Windows Vista that was an operating system for a personal computer was released by Microsoft Corporation, and Vista means view in Italy. There are eight different editions such as for family or business, but five editions are released in Japan. I don’t know about all kinds of computers well, so I also don’t understand about Windows Vista well. However, I am interested in the work of speech recognition that can make us input information and operate computer without typing. I think it is easy to use while people do something, or it is very good for people who cannot type. In addition, this soft has Windows Aero that can make the computer has a 3D image on the screen. I wanted Windows Vista because I love new things, but recently, I am also interested in Mac. I have to decide which is better for me until spring.

My Favorite Web Sites

I have three good web sites for many people to see, and they are following.

http://www.wikipedia.org/
Maybe, this web site, Wikipedia, is known by many people because it is very famous and useful. We can search about many kind of information easily, and more over, in many language.

http://www.snoopy.com/
I love SNOOPY very, very much, so I want many people to see this site and to know and love PEANUTS world. We can know about characters and the history. Also, we can read some comic strips in this sites.

what is social engineering?

Social engineering is a technique that people get important information like passwords about a significant computer by using an illegal way, and another name is social hacking or social cracking. Stealing a look at someone who is using a computer, looking for and getting information from refuses of an office, or trespassing a building are all techniques of social engineering. In general, people who do social engineering try to hit a psychological weakness of targets. They act like another person and make targets believe them. If an administrative ability and a confirmation are not good enough, hackers will be able to target the company easily. In order to guard information against social engineering, people should educate person who manage and use information more.

Apple Mark

I do not know well about the Mac. One of the reasons is that I have never used it. What I know about it is that the Mac has an apple mark, and Mr. Poza loves it rather than Windows. My image is that the Mac is looks prettier than Windows. However, I learned about the Mac a little in class, so now I know about it a little more than before. I learned the Mac is easier to use, so it might be good for me because I am not good at using a computer. Unfortunately, however, I cannot ask when I am in trouble how to use because there are no people who use the Mac around me. This spring I will buy a computer to take it to the U.S, so I have to think about the Mac and Windows more, and I want to make right decision.
