Create a Podcast
What a podcast really means, It means "Distribute (multimedia files) over the internet for playback on a mobile device or a personal computer" i.e.-A sound file distributed by a podcasting server.
To get started, sign up for a Gcast account(www.gcast.com) with a password and a four digit PIN. Once the site assigns you a URL, recording a podcast is no more difficult than leaving a message on a friend's voice mail.
you simply dial(from ur Phone)the toll free number, enter your pin (Gcast recognizes your account via caller ID), wait fir the beep, and then start speaking. Afterward, you can go to your Gcast site and edit the podcast's properties to make it easy for people to find.
WiMax

It is based on the IEEE 802.16 standard, which is also called Wireless LAN. With wireless high speed broadband connectivity for your PC, Wimax enabled laptops and mobile devices provide you the freedom to connect to the internet just as you do with your cell phone service, anywhere, anytime sans roaming charges(again!). with speeds similar to DSL or Cable and faster than using your cell phone service to connect, WiMAX allows you to access all data-intensive applications, including streaming media on the internet, live video-conferencing, mobile TV and much more while on the move.

Computer Security : some people just don't take it seriously enough
Security software comparison across the globe are strictly working towards improving their software to battle hackers. Software giant Symantec corporation has released statistics which state that the majority of people-while aware of the need for security software-do not take serious action. Since many people are not tech-savvy, they prefer not to understand the dynamic of security software.
Tom Powledge, vice president of Symantec, told that 25% of computer users are mature, secure and concerned about security. However, 32% are completely seamless and automatic, for example digital families in which parents are concerned about their childrens' security online. A further 22% are aware of security but don't really care much about it. they prefer to accept whatever security software is bundled with their computer.Finally 21 percent are technically savvy enough to recommend technology products to people who are less aware.
Further consumers complain that security software is too heavy for their PCs; installation takes forever, and the software makes PC sluggish. "There is a perception that security software slows down the computer. And in past it's fair to say that this is true".
How computer users relate to security software::
22%--Accept anything
21%--Recommend to others
25%--Secure & Concern
32%--Ignorant And in need
