One day with Hughes Net

Last week, we went to our cousin's house. I cannot forget the past experiences when I went to their home. During one of our visit, my office colleague called me and asked me to do a small research about our project which was about to be completed. My cousin had a Dial up connection. I started to do a Research. That was one of the worst connection, I have used. Every page took more than 5 minutes to load properly. I thought I could have traveled to my office (250 KM's) and could have finished the project by that time.. It took me whole night to write a couple of pages. This incident came to my mind when I stepped into their house.

I prayed to God not to get any calls from my office. We were chatting as usual and had our dinner. I got message in my cell from my friend. He reminded me to purchase a unique collection gift. The auction was taking place in e-bay. It was going to get over in another 10 minutes. I sat on my cousin's computer and opened the browser and typed ebay.com and closed my eyes. After a couple of seconds I opened my eyes to check if I typed the address correctly. It was like a Thunder struck me down. The e-bay page was loaded fully in a couple for seconds. WOW. Even in my home it will take more than 5 seconds for my cable connection. In less than two minutes I completed my Auction and also purchased a Gift item to my cousin. My cousin said he had purchased hughesNet a couple of months ago. The connection was very smooth. I didn’t find any lag or any problems. There were also no frequent disconnections like other satellite internet providers. I even downloaded a couple of software. And the most wonderful information is that it protects our personal information by using one of the top Anti-virus and Anti-spam protections. I also finished a small part of my research work which was to be completed next week in a hour. The high-speed internet connection from Hughes has speeds up to 50 times faster than Dial-up. The first thing after returning to my home would be to install a Hughes Net satellite connection. I will recommend all my friends to use this. They have some of the important features like Fast download speeds, Connection is "always-on", broad service availability and not to forget their flexible payment options. Common friends what are you waiting for??

As per the previous proverb "Time and Tide wait for none", utilize your time to the maximum by using Hughes and live the life to the core!!

Will internet Die??

Video killed the radio star. But could it also kill the Internet? New research from American analyst firm Nemertes Research Group

says that by 2010, increasing Internet traffic, particularly video applications like YouTube and Hulu, will fatally clog the tubes.

This isn’t the first such prediction that has been made in the recent past: Brett Swanson of the Discovery Institute, a think tank, warned in 2007 of a coming surge of data that “today’s networks are not remotely prepared to handle”. So are the increasingly dire predictions of the demise of the Internet on the mark, or have rumours of the Net’s death been grossly exaggerated?

It is true that with the advent of Web 2.0, Internet usage has shifted to bandwidth-heavy applications like YouTube and Skype. The amount of traffic generated by YouTube in 2006 was more than that of the entire Internet in 2000. At 50-60 percent a year, the current growth of Internet traffic is enormous. However, several experts believe that the Internet is in no danger of collapsing under the weight of its own success.

Andrew Odlyzko, a computer scientist at the University of Minnesota who specialises in analysing historical trends in networking, believes that global Internet traffic is and will remain manageable with modest capacity updates.

There is some evidence to support that conclusion. For one, telecom companies in both Britain and America are already investing significant amounts in order to upgrade Internet infrastructure, including the last mile cable, to increase capacity. Secondly, the Internet was originally developed to withstand all kinds of catastrophes and has proven to be remarkably robust. It has coped with massive growth over the past 15 years. There’s no reason to suppose this can’t continue.

Anyway, engineers are preparing for the worst by working to replace the Internet with a superfast ‘grid’. So, even if capacity updates fail to keep pace with demand, an alternative will be in place. No one is suggesting that the Internet wouldn’t face operational difficulties if it was left just as it is.

The debate is over whether the rate of investment in capacity upgradation is fast enough to cope with rising demand. Studies like this can provide an impetus for telecom majors to invest in infrastructure. As of now, though, it’s safe to assume that the Net will be with us for a while more. 

Bigger and better than Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer, says Microsoft.

Microsoft researchers are working on a new browser called Gazelle which it promises will have some impressive new features and capabilities.

The firm released a research paper (PDF) late last week, saying that the new browser would offer significant security improvements compared to other browsers, including Internet Explorer.

"No existing browsers, including new architectures like Internet Explorer 8, Google Chrome and OP, have a multi-principal operating system construction that gives a browser-based operating system the exclusive control to manage the protection of all system resources among web site principals," Microsoft said in the report.

The browser will change this tradition by being built on its own kernel, in effect allowing it to operate as an operating system. This means that Gazelle could intelligently identify traffic, and react to anything malicious.

"Our prototype implementation and evaluation experience indicates that it is realistic to turn an existing browser into a multi-principal operating system that yields significantly stronger security and robustness with acceptable performance and backward compatibility," the researchers wrote.

The browser is only open for discussion at this stage, and there are no current plans for a release in any form.

"The implementation and evaluation of our IE-based prototype shows promise of a practical multi-principal operating system-based browser in the real world," the researchers concluded.
