Other companies along with Intel have joined together to push the new USB 3.0 technology. The new USB 3.0 can transfer files at 4.8Gbit/s, 10x faster than USB 2.0 which transfers at 480MBit/s. That's why USB 3.0 is better than USB 2.0.

Some people will look at this picture and think the motor companies are monopoly men. But, its more complex than that.

This picture shows the deals, share holdings, joint ventures, joint acquisitions, and stuff like that.

Here's a simple video tutorial on how to log onto a remote host using SSH secure shell to login. It's kind of funny how he makes no attempt to hide the ip address hes logging into ( It's a school's hostname! ) and he leaves his password and username visible.

VNC Security

This guy shows us how to use UltraVNC to make a highly secure VNC connection. Even though we are using Microsoft Authentication ( MS Login ) we'll still need a VNC password because the way the server is written it still requires a regular password or it won't start. It doesn't matter what password you use because no one can get into your system with that password, just something has to be there.

This is a very excellent video on how to remotely install VNC. He even gives you a complete VNC setup with the .bat file and .reg file to automatically install itself and hide the tray icon from the user. In the video he uses telnet to download VNC, run VNC, and makes VNC run on startup. Ohh by the way this tutorial is for windows boxes only.
