30 Ways to Stay Safe on the Internet

1. Establish guidelines for Internet use with your parents or another adult.

Before you go online, decide how much time is okay for you to spend on the Internet each day and figure out what you can and cannot do. After you get more familiar with the Internet, you and your parents can talk again and change the guidelines.

Post them next to the computer for easy reference.

2. Don't share your password with anyone else.

3. Before you share any information about yourself on the Internet, get your parents' permission.

4. Double-check the URL (the address of the Web site) before hitting the Enter key. Make sure the spelling is right.

This will help ensure you go to the site you want, and not some other place.

5. Check with your parents or another adult you trust before going into a chat room. Different chat rooms have different rules and different types of people going to them. You and your parents want to make sure it is an appropriate place for you before you enter.

6. If something you see or read online makes you uncomfortable, leave the site. Tell a parent or a teacher right away.

7. Never send a picture of yourself (or anything else) to someone in e-mail unless your parents say it is okay.

8. If you receive unwanted, offensive, mean, threatening, or harassing e- mail, do not respond to it. Tell your parents or another adult right away.

9. Remember: not everything you read on the Internet is true.

10. Don't give out your age without checking with your parents first.

11. Never give out your full name (first and last). Don't give out your first name without checking with your parents or another adult first.

12. Never give out your home address over the Internet.

13. Ask your parents or an adult before signing up for anything online.

14. Don't give out your credit card number (or anyone else's) without permission from a parent.

15. Remember, when you are online, what you do is up to you. Don't do anything you don't want to do.

16. Don't open files or e-mail from someone you don't know. You don't know what might be inside—the files could contain a computer virus or offensive material.

17. Keep the computer in a common space, like the family room, den, or living room.

18. Never agree to meet someone you met on the Internet in person without your parents' permission. You should never meet someone you met online alone. If you do set up a meeting with an online friend, meet in a public place and go with your parent or guardian.

19. Remember that any information you share about yourself can be seen by anyone who is online.

20. Don't give out your phone number.

21. Talk to your parents (or your teacher or another adult) about the kinds of places you go and things you do and see when you are online.

22. Pick a name—different from your real name—to use online.

23. Before you go into a public area, like a chat room or discussion forum, decide with your parents if it is okay to give out your e-mail address.

24. If someone online asks you too many personal questions, be suspicious.

Stop talking with them.

25. Don't give out the name of your school.

26. Always remember that people online may not be who they say they are. It is very easy for people to pretend to be someone they are not.

27. Don't do things online that you wouldn't do in real life.

28. Be careful when someone offers you something for free, like gifts or money. You don't know what their motives are. Decline the offer and tell your parents.

29. Treat other people as you'd like to be treated. Never use bad language or send mean messages online.

30. The "off" button is always there. Use it if you need to. You don't have to stay online if you don't want to.

Is Google really in the downfall? +

To recent articles I divulged on doing a research on why Google is rumored to be on their downfall, besides maybe that email marketing can be banned with the current review of the technology law. It could be something to consider. Considering Facebook hired a company to run out articles on Google so that the share price might deflect a bit to the negative. You will see that definitely Google is still unshakable, with a current valuation lesser than that of Facebook when some users have the Gmail.com email on logging in, the war is definitely raging on.

In a grasp Facebook has more online users and is making more revenue via its ads but later on working behind Google to create a beta version of them. Google has AdSense and they are the pioneers of search indexing, Facebook have the user…. Google has the android platform and the Chrome, Facebook has the user… Google has free apps like Maps, Mobile suite, Earth, Facebook has the user… it might seem like I’m being one sided but let’s be serious…. The y need each other as competitors and business partners we need to see the public side of Facebook, they need to give us hope that they are there not only to make us addicted to their site. Ideas could be it creating a mobile phone in conjunction with a tablet.

 

this is just a personal thought. lets see how 2012 will go….

Tips On Typing Faster With Your Blackberry

The focus of the BlackBerry platform is communications, and the keyboard on your BlackBerry device serves that purpose well. The keyboard has gotten better and better, too, which makes for faster typing. But unless you're following these quick tips, you're not reaching your typing speed potential.

1. Don't use a period:
One major difference between your BlackBerry keyboard and your desktop keyboard is that you have to shift to hit a period. That can be a pain, since it's the most common punctuation mark. But you don't have to hit Alt+M to get a period. Just hit the space bar twice and your BlackBerry will insert one for you.

2. Skip the shift key:
As on your desktop keyboard, you have to shift on your BlackBerry to get a capital letter. Well, not really. If you just hold down the letter, your BlackBerry will turn it into a capital.


3. Don't type the @ or . in an email address:
When you manually type in an email address, you don't have to hit the shift key to get the @ or the . symbol. Just hit the space-bar. Your BlackBerry will insert the @ symbol after the first space, and a . after each additional space.

Step by Step Guide to Setting Up a New Whm Cpanel Server for Web Hosting Accounts

This is a guide to setting up a new WHM cPanel Server to be used forweb hosting accounts. It is intended for web hosting company administrators and dedicated server owners. For under $99 per month, it is easier than ever to manage and run your own dedicated server. You can have guaranteed uptime from your datacenter, and outsourced support starting at $30/month. All you need to do is set up the server and get going. Whether it is for a web hosting company or a couple of personal websites, an inexpensive Linux server is powerful, reliable, and easy to setup.

Web Host Manager (WHM) is a common Linux based tool for managing websites on a server. Panel is a common control panel to manage an individual website. It allows you to add email accounts, view stats, make backups, install programs, etc. These 2 tools are the most inexpensive set used commonly to manage hosting accounts, and you will find them very prevalent in the budget shared hosting world. It usually adds about $20/month to the cost of a dedicated server but provides most of the features of the more expensive tools.

Whenever you order a dedicated server from a datacenter, you will receive a welcome email with details of theserver including the server name, ip addresses, and root password. This information will allow you to setup and configure WHM so that you can host websites and use your own custom Domain Nameserver instead of a raw IP address.and server contact email address.
1) Login to root WHM (http://:2086) 2) In the left margin, click Next to run the setup wizard 3) Agree to the end-user license agreement 4) Edit setup a. Server contact email address: info@yourdomain.com This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it b. Default Cpanel theme: x c. Default home directory: /home d. Home directory prefix: home e. Main shared virtual host IP: xx.xxx.xxx.xx (should be main IP of server) f. Hostname: server.yourserver.com g. Primary name server: dns1.yourserver.com h. Secondary name servers: dns2.yourserver.com I. Leave everything else unchanged j. Click Save

Next, you need to setup the system quota. To do this follows these instructions: 5) Click Next Step in left margin – system sets up initial quota. No need to wait for initial quota to setup….Click Next Step again 6) DOES NOT enable names ever. Click Next Step again
Now we need to setup the Resolve. This is specific to your datacenter and the information will be provided in the Welcome details for your dedicated server. 7) Resolve setup: a. Click Continue b. Primary Resolve: xx.xx.xx.xx (this is datacenter specific) c. Secondary Resolve: xx.xx.xx.xx (this is datacenter specific) d. Tertiary Resolve: leave blank e. Click Continue f. Click Next Step  Not necessary to enter a MySQL root password 9) Click Finish

Initial setup is done, and you should now be able to login to root WHM. Now you can create the accounts needed to setup the name servers that you want to use on this dedicated server. 1) Login to root WHM again 2) “Create a New Account” (this is to be the main account: yourserver.com). Do not give this account a dedicated IP…. It will use the main server’s shared IP address. 3) Under “IP Functions”, click “Show IP address usage”. If only the mainserver IP is listed, that means you have to add the additional IP address to the server. Click “Add a New IP address”, and enter: xx.xx.xx.xx-xx Leave subnet mask unchanged, and click “Do It” 4) Click Show/Edit Reserved IPs, and check an IP to reserve it, and enter a reason (i.e. dns2.yourserver.com) 5) Under “DNS Functions” click “Edit DNS Zone”, then select yourserver.com and click “Edit”. Use the main IP address for the first 2 lines and the next IP address assigned to the server for the third line. A. Under “Add new entries below this line”, enter: server 14400 IN AN xx.xx.xx.xx (leave far right box blank) dns1 14400 IN AN xx.xx.xx.xx (leave far right box blank) dns2 14400 IN AN xx.xx.xx.xx (leave far right box blank) b. Note: The above entries are DNS entries for the two name servers being created, and the sever name dana.hostyourself.com. Once you’ve enter the three entries, click “Save” 6) If you get an “Error reloading BIND” error, go to “Restart Services” and click “DNSServer (BIND)”, then click YES to restart Bind.

That’s it! Now the server is all setup and ready to host cPanel hosting account with the name servers dns1.yourserver.com and dns2.yourserver.com. Of course you still need to go to your registrar and register these 2 new name servers and wait for normal propagation of 24-48 hours until the new name servers will work. 

If this is a server being setup for a dedicated customer, be sure to tell them: 1) IP addresses of name servers so he can register them with his registrar 2) Root login information 3) Login info of main account you created for him 4) Tell him NOT to delete the main account, since doing so will also delete the DNS zones you setup above 5) New DNS zones should be added to the old server to help with DNS propagation.

If you follow these simple instructions once you get your server from the datacenter, then you will be ready to load websites and hit the internet. With cheap outsourced support companies available and world class datacenters providing under $99 servers there is no reason not to tackle the world of dedicated servers and webhosting for you.
