M.ANANTHARAJ I – MCA 8 KONGU ARTS AND SCIENCE COLLEGE P.G DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE ERODE – 638107 News Bulletin: MCA DATE: 30.12.2010 COMPUTER-BASED TRAINING Computer-Based Trainings (CBTs) are self-paced learning activities accessible via a computer or handheld device. CBTs typically present content in a linear fashion, much like reading an online book or manual. For this reason they are often used to teach static processes, such as using software or completing mathematical equations. The term Computer-Based Training is often used interchangeably with Web-based training (WBT) with the primary difference being the delivery method. CBTs provide learning stimulus beyond traditional learning methodology from textbook, manual, or classroom-based instruction. For example, CBTs offer user- friendly solutions for satisfying continuing education requirements. CBTs can be a good alternative to printed learning materials since rich media, including videos or animations, can easily be embedded to enhance the learning. Another advantage to CBTs are that they can be easily distributed to a wide audience at a relatively low cost once the initial development is completed. G.ARULMURUGAN II - MCA 9 KONGU ARTS AND SCIENCE COLLEGE P.G DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE ERODE – 638107 News Bulletin: MCA DATE: 30.12.2010 Intel® Core™ i7 Processor Features and Benefits Go to the next level of multi-core performance. Intel Core i7 processors deliver an incredible breakthrough in quad-core performance and feature the latest innovations in processor technologies: Intel Turbo Boost technology maximizes speed for demanding applications, dynamically accelerating performance to match your workload—more performance when you need it the most. Intel Hyper-Threading technology enables highly threaded applications to get more work done in parallel. With 8 threads available to the operating system, multi-tasking becomes even easier. Intel QuickPath Interconnect is designed for increased bandwidth and low latency. It can achieve data transfer speeds as high as 25.6 GB/sec with the Extreme Edition processor. Integrated memory controller enables three channels of DDR3 1066 MHz memory, resulting in up to 25.6 GB/sec memory bandwidth. This memory controller's lower latency and higher memory bandwidth delivers amazing performance for data-intensive applications. Intel HD Boost significantly improves a broad range of multimedia and compute- intensive applications. The 128-bit SSE instructions are issued at a throughput rate of one per clock cycle, allowing a new level of processing efficiency with SSE4 optimized applications. G.ARUNKUMAAR I - MCA 10 KONGU ARTS AND SCIENCE COLLEGE P.G DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE ERODE – 638107 News Bulletin: MCA DATE: 31.12.2010 Microsoft Confirms Critical Ie Bug, Works On Fix Microsoft late Wednesday confirmed that all versions of Internet Explorer (IE) contain a critical vulnerability that attackers can exploit by persuading users to visit a rigged Web site. Although the company said it would patch the problem, it is not planning to rush out an emergency update. "The issue does not currently meet the criteria for an out-of-band release," said Carlene Chmaj, a spokeswoman for the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC), in an entry on the center's blog. "However, we are monitoring the threat landscape very closely and if the situation changes, we will post updates." Chmaj also downplayed the threat posed by the bug. "Currently the impact of this vulnerability is limited and we are not aware of any affected customers or active attacks targeting customers," she said. The vulnerability in IE6, IE7 and IE8 surfaced several weeks ago when French security firm Vupen disclosed a flaw in IE's HTML engine. Tuesday, researchers posted a video demonstration of an attack, and added a reliable exploit to the Metasploit penetration toolkit. That exploit used a technique revealed earlier this year by McAfee researchers that defeats a pair of important Windows defensive technologies -- ASLR (address S.BAGAVATHSINGH II – MCA 11 KONGU ARTS AND SCIENCE COLLEGE P.G DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE ERODE – 638107 LINUX News Bulletin: MCA DATE: 31.12.2010 It’s Free.

  • The Powerpc Macs: Model by Model
    Chapter 13 The PowerPC Macs: Model by Model IN THIS CHAPTER: I The PowerPC chip I The specs for every desktop and portable PowerPC model I What the model numbers mean I Mac clones, PPCP, and the future of PowerPC In March 1994, Apple introduced a completely new breed of Mac — the Power Macintosh. After more than a decade of building Macs around the Motorola 68000, 68020, 68030, and 68040 chips, Apple shifted to a much faster, more powerful microprocessor — the PowerPC chip. From the start, Apple made it clear it was deadly serious about getting these Power Macs into the world; the prices on the original models were low, and prices on the second-generation Power Macs dropped lower still. A well- equipped Power Mac 8500, running at 180 MHz, with 32MB of RAM, a 2 GB hard drive, and a eight-speed CD-ROM drive costs about $500 less than the original Mac SE/30! When the Power Macs were first released, Apple promised that all future Mac models would be based on the PowerPC chip. Although that didn’t immediately prove to be the case — the PowerBook 500 series, the PowerBook 190, and the Quadra 630 series were among the 68040-based machines released after the Power Macs — by the fall of 1996, Macs with four-digit model numbers (PowerPC-based Power Macs, LCs, PowerBooks, and Performas) were the only computers still in production. In less than two years, 429 430 Part II: Secrets of the Machine the Power Mac line has grown to over 45 models.
