How do I get my corporate email sent wirelessly to the iPAQ hw6900 Mobile Messenger?
Unlike other devices on the market that lock you into one particular mobile email solution, the HP iPAQ Mobile Messenger can support many different solutions depending on your needs. For instance, the Server ActiveSync capabilities included with Microsoft Exchange 2003 can deliver an excellent user experience with full, continuous and secure over-the-air sync of Inbox, Calendar and Contacts. There is no additional charge for software once you have Exchange 2003 in place and there is no software to deploy since support is built into the Windows Mobile operating system. By upgrading to Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 with Service Pack 2, customers can also sync Tasks, access contact information on their company’s Global Address List, take advantage of stronger security policies, and more importantly receive e-mails in real-time using Microsoft’s Direct Push Technology.

What Virtualization Enables

OS virtualization is achieved by inserting a layer of software between the OS and the underlying server hardware. This layer is responsible for allowing multiple OS images (and their running applications) to share the resources of a single server. Each OS believes that it has the resources of the entire machine under its control, but beneath its feet, the virtualization layer, or hypervisor, transparently ensures that resources are properly shared between different OS images and their applications.

What the Xen hypervisor is:

• The industry’s fastest and most secure hypervisor.
• Open source software, collaboratively developed by over 20 of the world’s leading enterprise infrastructure vendors, yet backed by an enterprise quality and service focused vendor, Citrix, which ensures the quality and reliability enterprises demand from their virtualization vendor.
• A common, open industry standard code base that supports all operating systems with high performance and security.

Step 1 – Installing the requirements
Until the download is over, make sure that you have Java installed and the 32-bit libraries (for the x86_64 users ONLY). If you don’t have Java (or the 32-bit libraries), go to System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager, search for openjdk and double-click on the openjdk-6-jre entry, then, search for ia32-libs (ONLY if you are on a x86_64 machine), and double-click on the ia32-libs entry. Now, click the “Apply” button to install the packages. Wait for the packages to be installed and close Synaptic when the process is finished.

Step 2 – Android Setup
When the Android SDK download is over, right-click on the file and choose the “Extract Here…” option. Enter the extracted folder, then enter the tools folder and double click the android file. Click on the “Run” button when you will be asked what you want to do, and the Android SDK and AVD Manager interface will appear. Go to the “Settings” section and make sure you check the “Force https://…” box. Click the “Save & Apply” button.

Skygrabber, a satellite information downloading program, has enjoyed a spike in popularity due to recent news that it has been used to access information from U.S. military planes in Iraq.

Skygrabber is a low-priced computer program used to gain free data from satellite signals without using an Internet connection. There has been a recent concern that the military opposition in Iraq may have used this technology to monitor information from U.S. Predator drones.

The Iraqi opposition has allegedly found a way to access live video feed from the drones used to fly the plane with Skygrabber.

The U.S. Predator drones have had a positive response in combat with their most unique feature being remote control operation. With no direct threat to pilots’s lives in battle, and the use of remote signals to dictate their coordinates from afar, the drones have been used frequently in Iraq. The Iraqi opposition has allegedly found a way to access live video feed from the drones used to fly the plane with Skygrabber.
