BlackBerry Media Sync offers iTunes music joy

blackberry-sync.jpgResearch In Motion is keen to stress the all-round media marvellousness of its BlackBerry handsets in order to shrug off their staid business reputation, and it’s doing a pretty good job with the likes of the Curve and Pearl. Now BlackBerry Media Sync is upping their music capabilities further. How? It’s a desktop application that makes it simple to sync music from your iTunes library with your BlackBerry, both in terms of specific playlists and mixes chosen at random from your entire collection. It automatically syncs with your playlists too, so changes you make in iTunes are reflected on your handset. I have to admit, I’m torn. I use the Curve as my work mobile, so it’d be good to have music on there. But then, my personal phone - which is always at hand - is an iPhone with a bunch of recent albums on it,

In pictures: iPhone 3G vs BlackBerry Bold vs Touch Diamond

How To Properly Make Use Of Personal Loans

A personal loan is just a generic term for any type of loan that is used for one's own personal interests. Personal loans are often much more specifically defined by what they are used for or how they are used. Personal loans are required for most things in life- so getting to know how they work and how to make use of them are two very valuable life lessons.

JavaScript: The Good Parts

Anita Kuno writes "JavaScript: The Good Parts is about the good parts of JavaScript and how to use them. This book takes a realistic look at the strengths and weaknesses of JavaScript and tells you how to use it to its best advantage. The code samples deal with the language and its merits — creating web pages is not discussed. How to understand the language, to execute the operations you want, is the focus of the book, not how to make rounded corners. The author, Douglas Crockford says, 'My microwave oven has tons of features, but the only ones I use are cook and the clock. And setting the clock is a struggle. We cope with the complexity of feature-driven design by finding and sticking with the good parts.'" Keep reading for the rest of Anita's review.

How Do You Deal With Sensitive Data?

imus writes "Just wondering how most IT shops secure sensitive data (customer records). Most centrally managed databases seem to be monitored and maintained very well and IT workers know when they are tampered with or when unauthorized access occurs. But what about employees who do legitimate selects from these databases and then load CSV files and other text files onto their laptops and PDAs? How are companies dealing with situations where the database is relatively secure, but end-use devices contain bits and pieces of sensitive business data, and sometimes whole segments? Does anyone use sensitive data discovery software such as Find_SSNs or Senf or other tools? Once found, how do you deal with it? Do you force encryption, delete it or prevent extracts?"

Open Source Cards Project Meets Objections

An attempt to create an open-source set of public safety protocol cards has run into a legal setback after a commercial company issued an Internet cease-and-desist order that claimed copyright infringement. The cards were developed by the Open ISES Project, which has also developed an open-source CAD software application, and posted on-line just last March. However, last week the group says it received a letter from attorneys representing Medical Priority Consultants, who apparently stated that the open source cards infringed on the company's copyrights. In response, the Project took down the cards, and issued a statement explaining their actions. "We are hoping that we can work out an agreement with them. However, until such time, we had to take the site and associated files down," said Robert Austin, who manages the Project.
