The preview is still in primitive stages: after meddling with it for a while, I could tell that they have a long way to go when it comes to user interface. This seemed to me like a prototype model(I couldn’t even find an address bar!). It still provides a good sneak preview of what we could expect from IE9: a complete reboot.

For one thing, it supports HTML5, the new version of the Hypertext mark-up language that supports more dynamic web pages, geolocation, and video embedding. That becomes apparent when you test things such as the “HTML5 T-Shirt designer,” which uses HTML5 and XHTML to let you paint your own shirt. It definitely reduces the gap of Internet Explorer to its rivals Firefox, Safari, and Chrome in terms of functionality.

Microsoft also focused on adhering to web standards. IE9 scores 55/100 on Acid3 test — a measure of how well a web browser follows certain web standards. Firefox 3.7, for comparison, scores a 97/100, so still far behind. Microsoft also shows off its improved compliance with CSS, including rounded corners. Microsoft also seems intent on being compatible with CSS3, which is currently under development.

In order to bring IE9 into the new era of the web, Microsoft had to sacrifice a few things. The big one: IE9 will not support Windows XP. It could prove to be a smart move, as it might help push more people to upgrade to Windows 7. More importantly, it makes IE9 as web-compliant and advanced as possible.

Microsoft still has a lot to do to win back web users and developers; its market share continues to erode as other browsers with stronger developer ecosystems and more standard-compliant features. This is a strong start though, and a good sign that Microsoft is taking its web browser rivals very seriously.

You probably know by now that the mere clicking of the delete button to get rid of files does not mean that they are ultimately gone. If you still do not know that, at least now you know.

What the delete action does is unlink the file so that it is not visible or accessible. It may seem that the files are gone but actually they are still in your hard disk. That means there is a high chance that the sensitive or confidential data you do not want to display can easily be restored by hard disk recovery softwares.

So to permanently remove your documents from your hard disk, you need something more than just the act of clicking the delete button. You need [Eraser].

Erase Sensitive Files Permanently With Eraser

[Eraser] is a user-friendly software that enables the client to totally remove any file or folder that are decided that it is best for them never to be recovered. For the sake of this article, let us define erasing as wiping its entire data beyond recovery. Yep, it means permanent.

As a secure data remover tool, Eraser allows you to completely and entirely clear your computer from any file you want be it sensitive, confidential, or simply just a space-occupying file. To be able to clean your hard drive, Eraser has to overwrite the files several times with carefully selected patterns. Such of these are Gutman, USDoD, and others.

How to permanently delete files with Eraser - Step 1

How to permanently delete files with Eraser - Step 2

How to permanently delete files with Eraser - Step 3

Here is the list of what Eraser can do and erase: 1. Files and folders; 2. Previously deleted files; 3. Index.dat files on reboot; 4. Recycle bin contents; 5. Temporary files on Windows; 6. Cache and internet cookies; 7. Files and drives that are encrypted; 6. Frees space on DOS, Win 95, Win 98, Win ME, Win NT, Win 2000, and Win XP; and 7. Paging file.

Using Eraser is easy. You can simply drag and drop files and/or folders into the On-Demand under the Eraser tab in the left side of the page. You can use the convenient Windows Explorer.

right-click extension or you can use the built-in Scheduler to automatically wipe your unused hard disk space or cache files.

A word of caution is to be remembered and applied in using Eraser, however. As mentioned, this software will permanently delete your documents leaving your hard disk clean from your unwanted files and/or folders. You have to be careful to choose the right data because once it is dropped in Eraser, you can never retrieve it again.

The Chrome OS is a lighter version of Linux.  That is saying a lot since OS design nowadays concentrate on compact and performance. The cloud computing services (virtual applications and virtual drives) the Chrome OS offers are definitely an advantage. There is one flaw however. Since most of the computing services are online and hosted on servers, the big question on everyone’s mind is what will happen when those servers crash/deleted?

The news of the release was months ago and yet the problem hasn’t been addressed. Power outages can affect servers, and not in a good way.  In a week alone, outages at data centers hosting popular websites have affected their service. Even Google App Engine is not immune to outages as it suffered performance problems.

Once the power is restored it takes time for the server to fully function. In the case of the OS, which millions of people might use, this will seriously impact the OS performance. Outages are not the only problems cloud services face when it comes to their hosts. If the host shuts down, what then?

The market also plays a factor, with more and more entrepreneurs being turned off by cloud services.

IT experts from companies have stated that reliability is one issue cloud services have to answer for. That is why they feel uneasy about putting more than half of their business parts on cloud services “box-style”. Though vendors try to downplay the reliability, one can’t help but notice how many users still rely on cloud services. No one can deny how flexible, inexpensive and quick development it offers.

Be prepared, because the deeper your business is immersed in cloud services the more vulnerable it is to downtime. There is no getting out since you’re locked into that providers server. This writer guesses that it is left to the IT people to figure out how to balance the development and business impact it will encounter during downtimes.

In conclusion, cloud services offer a lot potential enterprise but the fact remains that it has a great weakness. It is left to the user to decide whether to get it or not.
