Before explaining how Cloud Antivirus works, lets learn about today’s traditional virus protection mechanism. Each virus company has a security lab where they identify new viruses and send regular updates to the computer users who use their antivirus software. Generally, an antivirus update agent program connects to their servers and gets the latest virus database every 24 hours. Eventhough it looks like that this update mechanism works perfectly, in reality it does not. A security lab can be very late to detect, analyse and release a cure for a certain malware and all these processes depend on the efforts of the limited human resources of antivirus companies. So, it is a very common situation that while an antivirus program detects a malware, the other can not find the same one!

Now, let’s look at the revolution which Panda Cloud antivirus brought for free usage of the world. We all use our computers daily to read emails, visit websites and use programs. While we do such activities, we unfortunately face new viruses and malware programs constantly. When cloud antivirus detects a virus in our computer, it sends information to collective intelligence servers of Panda company. And imagine what? These servers send this information back to all cloud antivirus programs installed in people’s computers instantly, or at the worst case up to 6 minutes. Now, I think you understand the importance of cloud antivirus computing. The best part is that the antivirus program is free for all. You can download antivirus here and begin protecting your computer with unbeatable, evolutionary cloud computing algorithms.

p.s. I have read from Panda website that they have already analyzed more than 100 millions of viruses and goodware files. Amazing results !

Many users complained the size of Kindle devices. These include college students who usually have large text books, academicians who need to see the graphs, images in detail and magazine, journal lovers who need more relaxations, comfort and surely space when they read their books. Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, heard of them and announced the release of new Kindle device named as Kindle DX which is almost two times bigger than the previous one, to be exact 9.7″. It is also nice that new model of amazing wireless reading device now supports PDF files natively without needing any conversion tools. Kindle DX also has larger memory which can save around 3,500 books, documents etc.

Amazon decided to release the Kindle DX this summer and now taking pre-orders from their shop. The devices will be sold first come first served basis. If you are eager to grab one, you should be fast because the previous Kindle and Kindle 2 models had gone out of stock very fast and people had to wait months before the next manufacture line.

Read full specifications and see the demonstration video at Amazon Kindle DX official site.

Vizio manufactures both LCD and Plasma HDTV currently from 20 inch to 52 inch range. My favorite Vizio LCD HDTV model is 47 inch VO47LF model. It boosts 1080P Full HD Television performance and automatic color equalization at the top level. You will get very sharp images that doesn’t blur when the high action scenes take place. Not even a single pixel. Four HDMI plugins are enough for everything. By the way, when setting up the tuners, you scan for the digital and analog channels at the same time. After tuning, you can surf from analog to digital channels simply with your control. Actually there are lots of other features worth praising but better I will not bore you with technical details. Other Vizio LCD models are also interesting as well but you should better read about them at a comprehensive HDTV review website such as www.youreviewelectronics.com

Vizio Plasma HDTVs are also holds the competitive price, high quality reputation amongst the customers. If you are looking for much more rich colors and super blacks you can consider buying one of them. Currently 42 and 50 inch models are the most popular and recommended sizes. For example, let’s give Vizio VP505XVT – 50-inch 1080p Plasma HDTV as an example. Actually, this model is one of the first tvs to include built in audio and video capabilities. Also lots of other advanced features which I will not list one by one. With Full HD 1080p powered by HQV (Hollywood Quality Video), it provides a great visual experience to the viewers. You can buy this plasma hdtv without any hesitation. A top bargain for this range of hdtvs.

Vizio certainly deserves the reputation which it gained with good performing, low priced HDTVs. I hope they will continue like this with their new models as well.

invisibleSHIELD for the Apple MacBook Air (Full Body)

Quiet, fast, no system hangups, pretty stylish, lightweight choice for Apple fans.

Here is a detailed experienced customer view on Apple MacBook MB403LL/A 13.3-inch Laptop (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 2 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive) White

What is there to say? The last Mac I owned was in 1989, it was an Apple II+ (I kid you not). Since then, it’s been PC after PC for me, until now. In March 2008, I needed a new laptop, and I purchased the Black MacBook. So far, I am a seriously happy camper. A few tweaks to make sure I could use my favorite Windows programs (ie also installing Windows XP via VMware Fusion) and I’m very content.

PROS:
* Mac OS X is intuitive, user friendly, and easy to understand. I am a big fan, and I’ve only had this laptop for 3 months. The more I use it, the more I like it.
* The screen is stunningly beautiful. It is the clearest, brightest, easiest screen to read I’ve ever had. Set it next to any PC laptop, and there is no comparison.
* The “MagSafe” magnetic power connector is perfect. I’ve never knocked the MacBook off of a table, even though I’ve pulled the cord out many times.
* I didn’t have to leave behind my killer Windows XP programs! I installed VMware Fusion, and now boot Windows XP right from within Mac OS X. Very VERY nice and handy. My only suggestion is to bump the RAM to 4GB before installing VMware Fusion. Works stunningly well.
* Battery life (and power management) are stunningly good. I get a legit 3-4 hours of battery life out of this laptop, compared to 1-2 hours out of all of my old PC laptops.
* User friendly software built in such as iMovie. My wife needed a DVD created for work. An hour later, I had a DVD with menu system, her photos, music, etc. Everybody loved it.
* User friendly System Preferences and settings in the Apple menu. Much better than Start –> Settings –> Control Panel in Windows. Just a better design and more user friendly access to settings.
* GEEKY: The fan does not vent on the bottom! So your legs aren’t blocking it and feeling warm fan air. Instead the fan vents up the front of the screen. Very VERY smart, and I rarely hear it running.
* GEEKY: Programs install as one .app file. Sure there are settings hiding in various places, but Mac programs usually involve one BIG .app file.
* GEEKY: Better flash drive integration. This is similar to Linux (and obviously UNIX), drives are mounted and dismounted. No two or three clicks to “safely remove hardware” like in Windows. You just “eject” a flash drive (or CD or other drive) and remove it… as it should be.
* GEEKY: Encrypted disk images. You can use built in software to create password protected “Disk Images”. These can easily be mounted and unmounted, protecting sensitive files.
* GEEKY: Terminal, Automation, the Dock, and Finder. Well made robust tools that allow my “inner geek” to customize and do whatever they want.

CONS:
* No card reader built in? This is a VERY stupid idea on Apple’s part. Almost every PC laptop now comes with a built in card reader. MacBooks should also.
* Only two USB slots. Would be nice to have 3 or 4. Not the end of the world, but could be improved.
* Cost. Mac people always tell me about TCO “Total Cost Of Ownership” and the like when justifying the higher cost. Fact is, the MacBook DOES cost more. Don’t let anybody tell you it doesn’t. But the more I use it, the more I think the extra cost is worth it and the less the cost bothers me. “You get what you pay for” is what obviously comes to mind. For lack of a better term, it’s an elegant machine.
* That’s about it. Seriously, there aren’t really any other major problems with this laptop.
