eBay sells StumbleUpon

A few years ago eBay went on a buying spree and started snatching up companies ranging from Skype to StumbleUpon. While it made plenty of sense for eBay to acquire PayPal, a company that many eBay users were already using to facilitate financial transactions, Skype and StumbleUpon seemed like odd fits. Sure, you could try to figure out a way to use a social web site discovery tool to promote auctions, and you could use Skype's communication tools to encourage communication between buyers and sellers. But both Skype and StumbleUpon seemed like square pegs in eBay's round hole.Now hot on the heels of news that Skype's founders are exploring the possibility of buying their company back from eBay comes news that StumbleUpon's founders did buy their company back.StumbleUpon is now back in th ehands of founders Garret Camp and Geoff Smith and a new group of investors. The official reason for the buyback? Camp says "there were few long-term synergies between the two businesses." We could have told them that two years ago. Oh wait, we did.[via TechCrunch]

I swear, it is men's underwear

This financial turmoil...

Manual washing or washing machines ?

I thought I'd found a perfect partner in a washing machine that does everything...all I do is push some buttons, and presto water comes out, detergent, fabric conditioner and all.

After several try's however, I discovered that there are some clothes with streaks of white, apparently from the detergent which do not melt inside the machine. So after the last chore of spin drying, I have a few pants, clothes, shorts which need to be taken out and hand washed as the machine is unable to completely rinse off the soap, and leaves ugly white marks on the clothes.

The difficulty of trying to stop it happening ever again

Fifteen years on, the country is praised for salving the wounds of genocide. Yet that comes at the price of diminishing freedom. And now the economy is falteringEVEN today, it is almost impossible to imagine how so many Rwandans could have turned into coldblooded butchers. The memorials to the slain that now grace many of the towns and villages in the country provide only small glimpses into the collective insanity that gripped a whole country in April 1994, when the Hutu killers turned on their Tutsi fellow citizens and Hutu sympathisers, leaving over 800,000 dead in three months.Take the memorial at the National University of Rwanda in Butare, a couple of hours drive south-west of the capital, Kigali. Under a corrugated iron roof a long board displays the photographs of about 60 students who were killed. In fact, most of the staff and students at the university, over 500 in all, were slaughtered in just two weeks or so; only a few escaped across the nearby borders to Congo or Burundi. Many of the students were killed by their own teachers, specifically the dean of agriculture and vice-dean of political science. The former not only personally killed students but organised the campus massacre as well. What could have been running through their minds in the weeks leading up to the killings, as these highly educated people calculated how best they could hack or shoot their own students to death? ...

SOURCEFIRE EXPANDS IPS SUPPORT

New 3D6500 Sensor Provides Users with Cost-Effective, Scalable Appliance for Intrusion Prevention, Network Visibility and User Awareness Wokingham, UK, 14th April 2009 – Open source innovator and Snort® creator, Sourcefire, Inc. (Nasdaq:FIRE), a leader in Enterprise Threat Management, today announced its new 3D6500 Sensor, offering up to 4Gbps of IPS inspection while providing the ability to interface with 10G fiber networks. Adding to Sourcefire’s 10G intrusion prevention system (IPS) leadership, the 3D6500 augments the scalability and flexibility of the Sourcefire 3D® System’s complete line of network security appliances, enabling customers to select the sensor that best suits their requirements. “Today, customers are not simply looking for network security solutions that solve their current needs, but ones that can easily scale to address future requirements, which is why Sourcefire is continuing to invest in delivering the most flexible products on the market,” said Tom Ashoff, vice president of engineering at Sourcefire. “With the addition of the 3D6500 Sensor, we are building out our support for 10G networks, so that customers can implement the exact solution to meet their ongoing needs.” Available now, the 3D6500 Sensor offers up to 4Gbps of IPS inspection in a 2U form factor appliance. As is the case with all Sourcefire 3D Sensors, the 3D6500 features integrated copper and fiber bypass (fail-open) technology—a critical requirement for inline IPS deployments—foregoing the need to acquire costly external bypass devices. The 3D6500 Sensor is optimized to support simultaneous execution of IPS, RNA® (Real-time Network Awareness) and RUA™ (Real-time User Awareness) processes, and is available in the following configurations: • 12 1Gbps copper ports • 4 10Gbps SR/LR fiber ports • 6 1Gbps copper ports and 4 1Gbps fiber ports • 6 1Gbps copper ports and 2 10Gbps SR/LR fiber ports The Sourcefire 3D System enables organizations to protect their dynamically changing networks with increased confidence, providing customers with a unified platform for protecting both physical and virtual systems. As the industry’s only “Adaptive IPS,” the 3D System enables customers to optimize the security and performance of their IPS systems based on the actual network assets they are protecting.
