What good are polls on the net in political issues?
One of the parties in our home town has switched on its website an online questionnaire to one of the controversial new topics in Borgholzhausen to make in this way contribute to public opinion.
Now we come in power permanently on questionnaires, in which one can express his opinion on various topics with one click. So nothing unusual.
One problem is such an online questionnaire, but if its result placed in a process of political expression, while its earnings will be accepted at face value. Especially when - is implemented, the questionnaire with the simplest of technical means - as in this case.
my view, is the questionnaire in its present form largely worthless and the currently displayed result after 2,600 votes:
Yes, why not 20%
Yes, even with a new market?. 26%
No, no way.
48% if at all, only residential development. 1% 2% I do not care
may require any person any of the scheduled vote at the end of 6.3. in any direction distorted . Why is that and how it could perhaps do better, why should the rest of the text position.
On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog
The main problem of this type of survey is the anonymity of the Internet: The people who put a questionnaire online, do not know who clicks on their websites. To quote Or an old network saying: 'In the network nobody knows that you're a dog' ( source ).
Actually, the anonymity of the internet in such surveys is very useful: Since no one must fear to be associated with his opinion, one can increase the participation and perhaps a honest vote expected, just like a real election with polls and voting booth.
But anonymity has a disadvantage that outweighs the benefits: Since the questionnaire (or the technical system behind it) can not see who can fill it, a multiple voting can not be effectively prevented. And while no one would come up with the idea, in the general election immediately take several ballots from the pile (he / she would be prevented, hopefully by the poll workers), anyone can vote in an Internet poll as often match up the result or is it the desire leaves. choose
The only incentive "decent" are the respective moral standards and the small technical hurdle that can be easily overcome:
Small survey counterfeiters guide for beginners
prevented the in Hardenberg survey used a free service - as most such services - apparently the multiple voting: if one of its Web browser to the questionnaire later visited again, we see only the current result, but is no longer a choice. So, the questionnaire has yet realized that you have already voted. But how does he do it?
The questionnaire leaves to their own Web Browser is a small data packet, called a cookie (English for biscuit), who tells him that you have already voted. The simplest test is now the questionnaire again from another computer access, and voila, you can vote a second time. Or you can install yet another web browser on their PC. And now you can vote third time. And a fourth, fifth, sixth time
But it's also faster and with less effort than with a computer change or a software installation: You have to just delete the cookie of the questionnaire in their own browser. How this is done, one can easily figure out for each browser type on a web search . An even easier way, the possibilities for anonymous surfing browsers such as Firefox or Chrome offer. Here you can vote as many times as you want. One or two dozen votes can thus create in a minute, the time of a crime scene was so boring enough to their own opinion in the survey results to ordinary-making process.
survey forgery for professionals
But that's not the end: If someone has something more in-depth technical understanding, he can easily create a small program which automatically adjusts. This procedure may be such that the 'vote' slow and goes no further notice. More than the fact that at some point voted once more 'person' as has Borgholzhausen inhabitants.
Conclusion: The survey results have any
The just described ways to overcome the questionnaire technique are not particularly clever tricks or even illegal. There is also a sufficient number of people who can deal in this manner with web pages. Even if there is only one person has the necessary technical skills (and even in the nest Borgholzhausen is that there are competent individuals), the validity of the questionnaire is made entirely in the discretion of one person, and not as it should have been in which the entire citizenry.
The result of the questionnaire - Both the current as well as the final - it will not be allowed to draw conclusions about the actual opinions in the public, at least you can expect anyone seriously to honor the results of the survey. This makes it inappropriate for a political opinion.
How can we do better?
for all online surveys, there is always the tension between the aspects:
anonymity of participation,
reliability of the vote,
effort and not least the
representativeness
In Hardenberg survey is the anonymity high and the cost low, but the reliability described as too low. In the area of professional evaluations, which require both anonymity and reliability must be high, often use questionnaires to make use of a pseudonym: this, each potential participant in a private key that must be distributed in advance but must. Here, then, the cost is high.
As an alternative to these types of survey can be found today more and more groups in social networks like Facebook: The vote takes place here by simply clicking 'Like me' at the appropriate point. This ensures fairly reliable, that a person votes only once. However, for the barriers to participation are much higher: not only is a membership in the network, necessary to supplement the voters must be prepared at least in their attitude to their environment on the Internet to document public.
basically all you have to finally ask for pure online surveys continue the representation in question because of essential part of the population, it is not yet of course move in the network, even if Internet access are available.
Hence the time for online surveys in the political sphere has not yet come easy.
After last week, the future prospects of Firefox among other things had doubts because the support seems to mobile platforms so bad, us Mozilla surprised this week claiming a new beta version of the Firefox developers itself , would that come with Android browser javascript hit in all tests, while some even very clear. Since yesterday evening, finally, the Ginger Bread Update on my Nexus One was I will try this for yourself.
In the tests I have to compare my current PC browser across to the beginning and called in a couple of other Android browser to compare. In all cases the tests were performed at least three times and taken the best result. The tests with the Android browser made it in one go on the Nexus One, no other apps were launched in the meantime.
Although I had to move some problems to Firefox at all to run the V8 test (often remained the screen blank and constantly comes a warning window high), but the result is clear indeed: The Firefox is reflected well in the tests.
If now the stable version in the market is yet small errors such as the unfortunate rendering of small type could be eliminated Firefox benefit, that there is Google, due to the fragmentation of Android not the correct way with the operating system Joined browser to update. Here it may irritate many owners of Android devices with earlier versions actually make the change.
And hopefully motivated Firefox Google in this way to think of all the other issues Android also to act on his browser:)
"For the first time in years, energy and resources are being Poured in browsers, the ubiquitous programs for accessing content on the Web. Credit for this trend-a boon to consumers, goes to two parties. The first is Google, Whose big plans for the Chrome browser Microsoft have shaken out of its torpor competitive and forced the software giant to pay fresh attention to its own browser, Internet Explorer. Microsoft had all but ceased efforts to enhance IE after it triumphed in the last browser, Netscape sending to its doom. Now it's back in gear. "- Rich Jaroslovsky in Business Week, 25/02/2010 .
If you look in the current Web browser usage statistics by StatCounter for Europe, we see something remarkable:
Last December, Firefox for the first time his old rivals - the Internet Explorer from Microsoft - obsolete! Although the global statistics provides another way to and from other statistics such as those of Net Applications is the proportion of Firefox are more modest, but nevertheless this is a huge success, one at the absolute dominance IE thinks that the Mozilla community has broken bit by bit. So everything is good in Firefox at home?
is our biggest asset
If you look at the global profile of the browser distribution for the past 12 months, in addition to the permanent fall of the IE market share and the unbroken rise of Google Chrome in particular the stagnation of the Firefox share striking:
go seems that the IE lost market shares no longer as in previous years directly to Firefox, but mainly in Chrome. How this change is actually going on can only guess, but since Chrome has in technically-oriented sites an even higher market share may be assumed that remains a significant change from IE users held for Firefox, while Firefox among users, the much-in Web're on the road, losing Chrome.
The question at this point is the consequences of this for one of the best examples of successful open Source PRODUCT. Firefox stands before a massive crash as soon as Microsoft comes out with the IE 9 and published his ChromeOS Google?
Microsoft Firefox never took seriously and will never do
Why has Microsoft in the past few years, actually more or less idly watched as the market share of the browser's own ever declined? Because Firefox never posed a serious threat to Microsoft's business model.
only after Google's entry into the browser market, Microsoft has suddenly moved and is now on the verge with the version 9 of the IE to publish a browser that can actually claim to be in almost all relevant areas State-of-the-art or even to be a leader, be it speed, privacy and also in compliance with standards.
Why has used Google to Microsoft here wake up and send them on a path that they might never want to go? As for Google, the browser connects with a strategy that seeks to replace the cash cows Microsoft Windows and Office. This requires a browser that extremely fast, extremely safe and user-interface is very slim ago. None of these properties was true for Firefox Google Chrome was released in late 2008. Today it has
even looks were as Apple's Safari and Opera to Firefox in many places passed, all previous efforts to Mozilla's defiance. can
Not In the forceps large industry
only when you look at the browser charts give the impression that Firefox take in a pincer between Microsoft and Google gets, what Firefox has an extremely improved IE 9 they put up, behind which developers are huge resources of a company that sees itself threatened in its ureigenstens business?
How can you compete with Google, that its ubiquitous marketing opportunities using the net for a massive application of its browser, and even the cities with posters covered? Quite apart the fact that Chrome is faster, safer and easier, and is developed with incredible speed further?
It is therefore not unrealistic to assume Firefox has had absolute climax, and probably already passed. This year will probably begin the descent, which includes not only the strengthened competition and the failures will contribute in the following areas:
missed opportunity 1: The browser as operating system
Google will release a few months Chrome OS , a Linux-based operating system, which is the only application of the Chrome browser. In this system, the browser and Internet access everything, everyone used service is web based. On the other side on this platform can be no other browser installed, any OS computers sold with Chrome Chrome is a durable user more in the global market share.
Basically, the idea of a Linux system with a browser would also be well implemented in Firefox and in fact there were also smaller attempts in this regard. However, we never saw the great vision and the driving force in the Mozilla environment to create in this way a genuine counter-draft to the Microsoft world as it tried to Google now.
More likely it is Microsoft or Apple might go a similar route as Chrome and OS greatly reduced versions of their operating systems have on the market, which dominate on their own browser, of course.
Wasted Chance 2: The mobile platforms
If one mobile to Firefox seeks leads in this page of the Mozilla project. There you can download Firefox for Nokia devices. No links to Android or even IOS version. Although there is a version of Android, but it's still in beta and now plays no role. had
With the rapid rise of iPad and Android in the last year and the expected flood of tablets in 2011 one would think that the Firefox developers Field faces. But this is not the case. Instead of dominating the included Apple and Google Browser (which are also quite excellent) and Opera.
In view of technological backwardness, for example, in speed and so far limited experience with touch screen surfaces a major breakthrough here is not to be expected. Already, however, the iOS browser appears occasionally in global (and not mobile-specific) statistics, a clear sign that the mobile browser market share will affect the overall strong in the future. Here, too, so Firefox is under pressure.
problem: Who wants to work for the third best
acts Perhaps my Overly pessimistic view and it will not be that Firefox breaks dramatically in a short time, to the cycles in the development of the browser market share so far been far too slow. Nevertheless, the question is how Mozilla plans to define the long term and this may be the issue of competition for talented developers important.
Today is Firefox a leader only in very few places, so maybe in the number of available extensions. In all other respects it has surpassed its competitors, especially Google sets still faces an enormous pace in the development of its browser. And Microsoft is so not relax long as Google presents.
In an open-source project is, however, always the question whether enough people can see who find it so cool and exciting and innovative that they invest their time in it. And with Firefox raises the question why one should invest his time in a product that seems hopelessly lagging behind, and - also has no realistic chance of recovering the lead in the foreseeable future - in my view.
Here is perhaps the neglect of the mobile sector, the most damaging, taking place since the time of all the exciting things in Apps on smartphones and the "mobile first" slogan, almost has become proverbial.
Risk: All browsers in company hands
And what is so bad about when Firefox would follow the way of Netscape in the halls of IT history? Apart from a certain nostalgia, perhaps simply the fact that after all the main browsers were in company hands. It also changes very little, that Apple's WebKit and Google are all chrome browser open source. compete
As long as the big three Apple, Google and Microsoft have each other there will be development, but what if they once thought or will? Already, the debate about the HTML 5 video formats H.264 and WebM the solidification of the Web technologies in some areas that only large corporations (in competition with other big companies) can be broken up.
Maybe Mozilla will eventually only the way to the open source products industry to join, to curate them and to improve in a few places in the sense of end users. This would create a world moving from the original Pride product can no longer be much left, but it would be at least a way to stay in the game basically. It is definitely exciting ...
The next small decline awaits us on Friday. For me it is always amazing how robust the DAX - oppose the options, time decay. It reminds me of the aging of our people. There are those who already believe to be old at 40. For many, the age of 60, a whole life and suddenly they are themselves so far and determine likely, a lot has not changed. With my "39" years, I am fitter than definitive early 20 The only difference is, unfortunately, the reduced ability to celebrate extensive celebrations. Lately I do if I allow the time and family to the after-work party in Frankfurt (€ Deli) and note that more than 2 beers and a return later than at half past no go for me. I work during the day in a consulting company (self-promotion www.trisolutions.de) and I can imagine several meetings the next day, barely, when I have slept only 5 hours. But otherwise I think that aging does not run fluently but uses rapidly. So the DAX options still cost money on more than 100 points, while the March options cost only twice. The option pricing models, this behavior is well described, it still amazes me.

Here's a quick view where it could possibly be worth to trade options. German Bank: did this I wrote an article in the main blog. Strategy - selling of puts German Post: actually a good share for covered options. The share price swings since the mid-2009, between 11 and 14 Euro. Enige months since a weak upward trend. The minima of the sideways movement will always be higher. Still, I see no action at present. Lufthansa The stock is in uptrend which will be corrected. The correction may push the rate down to 14, but at least up to 14.9 €. Ets then sell puts. German Telekom: Similar to the post, I see a weak upward trend. SAP: Buy clear upward trend strategy hedge with puts and calls out of the money.
something to bring order into Google Betriebssystemzoo
Google for most remains a synonym for the Internet search, not for nothing is 'google' the term included in the dictionary since 2004. Less is known so far that Google now one of the major operating system manufacturers is: there is, first, the smartphone operating system Android , which celebrated in 2010, a rapid ascent, and the other is Google's web browser Chrome derived ChromeOS , which in mid-2011 will finally come to market.
In reports of these two operating system, children of the search giant appears again and again to the question of why Google is actually two or - at the recent separation of the first Android in a version for phones and one for Tablets - maybe even three operating systems designed and whether the resources should not be better focused on a product. Usually, Google will be encouraged to give up ChromeOS and concentrate all forces on Android.
This document is intended as an attempt to classify the Google operating systems, compare to work out their different objectives and the linking strategy. In essence, the course of this activity from Google - as always - that strengthen the core business of online advertising. But perhaps also about the IT world a little easier - and better in some sense - to make.
Briefly: Android versus ChromeOS
Both operating systems Google will run as open source projects, the respective home pages can be found at android.com and chromium.org . In technical terms, both systems with a common Linux base, but here the similarity ends there more or less.
Android - the small robot is fighting for world domination
Android is initially developed for Smartphones operating system. Designed for small screen sizes, the operation via touch screen and lower CPU power, it competes with Apple's iPhone iOS particular operating system. The first version could be bought in late 2008 on a cell phone, the crucial breakthrough came However, until 2010 in parallel with the total fast-growing smartphone market. The analysts at Canalys estimate the number of the 3rd Quarter of 2010 selling Android phones to 20 million, while Android will have 25% market share.
is in contrast to Apple in particular Google's strategy in the mobile space is not software and hardware to produce and distribute. Google is merely allows manufacturers such as Samsung, HTC, Motorola, Acer, Dell, etc., the equipment manufacturing, building and in essence, that are available through the position of the Android platform's services such as search, mail, maps, etc. spread. Google also operates the Android Market , The official - but not the only - source for Android Apps.
An often criticized feature of this arrangement between Google and manufacturers is the so-called fragmentation . Thus, the effect is known that not all Android devices equipped with the most current operating system version. For the fragmentation, there are different reasons, ultimately, the lack of motivation and the telecommunication company in the Geräterhersteller updates already sold units to invest and the lack of penetration can probably Google's most important.
Fragmentation, however, seems Androids rise the world's most popular smartphone operating system will not be stopped. Beginning of the year, then before Google Android version 3.0 aka Honeycomb , this version is for devices with larger screens - especially Tablets - optimized. Apparently Google is planning to split into two branches of Android, which the fragmentation is not reduced.
addition expands Android smartphones and tablets will extend to other platforms, most notably here, maybe the TV platform Google TV . Classic PC or laptop formats with Android, however, are far been rare.
ChromeOS - the visionary unknown
end of 2008 started Google's own web browser Chrome , who today, after analysis of about Netmarketshare a global market share of about 10%. Google called on his event Chrome on 07/12/2010 an active user base of 120 million. This is a significant achievement for such a young product that seems to be not yet arrived at its end.
Google advertises its web browser as a very fast and has a race between the other browser manufacturers, particularly in Javascript Performance triggered , which continues today. Other new features of Chrome were automatic and silent and updates, and special security features.
ChromeOS represents in short the combination of a Linux operating system using the Chrome Web browser, on the other can not install applications. A more detailed description of the specific properties of ChromeOS I've ever been to the blog post 'Why ChromeOS is quite large ' comes and save me so.
Why did I ChromeOS in the title referred to as 'visionary unknown'? Visionary is to hold still for most of the presentation files and no 'real' programs on your own computer, even if they spend most of the time even now in the network. However, Google has been working a long time because all relevant activities cover with Web-based services to, be it email, word processing, presentation creation, contact management, etc. pp.
An unknown is ChromeOS among other reasons, because it promises profound changes both in the IT operations of large organizations as well as in private and remains to be seen is how fast and how extensive these changes will come.
ChromeOS belongs to the Chrome Web Store , so to speak, which is the counterpart to Android Market, but for web applications. Although ChromeOS until mid-2011 devices will be available on the final Web Store is already online since December 2010 and is in the Chrome browser be used. It complements the already thriving range of enhancements for the Chrome browser and is the latest since this week by Google heavily promoted with ads on the Internet.
Google takes Apparently this is a long run, so ChromeOS possible start. Also, the Chrome browser is still heavily promoted, even now, even in Germany, with billboards in inner cities. A similar campaign has there never been the way for Android.
it can only be one?
Google invests in both operating systems quite heavily, and Android can now probably be considered by itself. The question remains whether and if so how the two services at all be distinguished and whether it is not enough, just to survive one of the two products. Let us therefore first two options, the question of whether there can be only one thing: Can replace
ChromeOS Android?
This issue is really only provided for completeness: given the massive success of Android, which is currently the only smartphone operating system Apple offers with its products stand up to i * is a task for the benefit ChromeOS completely illusory. Probably would - Google should really come on as an idea - the equipment manufacturers to take free Android code and develop even further. Nor is it for ChromeOS Touch-screen operation, and certainly not optimized for small screens.
Should ChromeOS set in favor of Android?
This requirement can be found from time to time in the network, entirely subjective, one gets the impression they would be especially provided by individuals who, even very enthusiastic Android are fans and / or who can not even make friends with the vision of an operating system on which you itself can no longer tinker. Straight from the Android perspective, there are still so many construction sites (one of the biggest is definitely the Android Market) that a concentration would contribute to this platform Google's very positive.
The goal with Google ChromeOS however, are the traditional domains of Microsoft's Windows operating systems - PCs, laptops and notebooks - computer so with keyboard, mouse, and 'normal' big screens. These are devices that are used much more than smart phones and tablets for self-producing and supplying activities and therefore hardly seem suitable for operation via a touchscreen interface.
Finally, there is an occupational argument: With ChromeOS the complete interchangeability of hardware will be elevated to the supreme goal: both do I switch from computer to computer and always have my data and applications before me, and many people can the same computer share and have to take any precautions to prevent the mutual access to private data.
This is a crucial difference to Android: Although it is relatively simple device to a new Android again with their own contact information and applications to play at the individual devices are ultimately still very much personalized and can not easily be shared. In large organizations, this is a crucial difference in operating costs.
Finally, from the perspective of Google may still be the argument of better penetration: ChromeOS will suffer on all information currently no fragmentation, since the device manufacturer can not make any adjustments to it and the operating system as the Chrome browser keeps itself up to date. Google can then be run without braking pace of innovation.
Android, ChromeOS have two elements of a common strategy
Both Google operating systems so obviously their very own right, with the only overlap can be now suspected in the tablets, even if neither of Android 3.0, still available from ChromeOS yet marketable Tablets are. The tablet is probably the area of applications in which the common focal point of both strategies is visible, and is in web-based applications.
Google is on occasion - described as 'one trick pony', this trick is only indicated in the earning money through online advertisements - for example, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. In fact, Google even after its last quarterly report for the most part continued to rely on advertising revenue. However, Google dominates that his only trick incredibly good and you can actually almost all the essential activity of the group somehow lead back to strengthen this trick. seems
A crucial part of Google's strategy here for years to bring more people are online, since you seem confident in Mountain View is it then bind own search engine. One example is Google Docs :
hours to instead work with Microsoft Word and never to go into the net here you open the browser and there writes his text. This one has come much closer to the next Google search so before. ChromeOS can now be seen as the end of this strategy: here you are always online and even has a Search button. Even if Microsoft's Office suite should also take fully into the net-what they will be forced at least in part - Google has independently obtained from the ultimate success of Google Docs.
Similarly, we need to to produce Google derive Android: perhaps it has been recognized in the search engine giants earlier than in other places, that Apple will see a competitor that could have in a few years, the potential and the opportunity and the will is a highly attractive, but also completely closed platform to hold in their hands, in which he can define own rules for the advertising market.
Despite the success of Android can - especially given the far more neglected Android Markets - win occasionally the impression that Google is' just as much excitement. " Maybe this is not even necessary since Android yes still on a seemingly unstoppable Is gaining ground.
Maybe it's also the fact that Google in 'real' web applications simply feels more at home than in the small apps and this brings us to the final thesis:
The Chrome Web Store as a hinge between Android and ChromeOS
The exciting for me to question the new Android 3.0 is, how powerful are the included Web browser: it is already a full-Chrome Browser? If so, could the Chrome Web Store with its Web 'Apps' enable new usage scenarios: as a user of the
Chrome browser on my desktop PC I install the desired Web Apps in my browser. Use the sync function that also walk the same Tablet Apps on my Android. And if I do a lot of times I open the tap must ChromeOS netbook and find there also all the apps automatically. A little further thought, the Web 3.0 Apps to Android devices could actually complete mix with 'normal' Android apps.
What emerges here is therefore one that is all present and future types of devices spanning application platform that enables users to completely break loose transition. The only exceptions are the traditional smartphones with small screens and low processing power.
The vision is probably even further: since put the apps in the Chrome Web Store on techniques such as HTML 5 they are probably right on Apple's iPad used and on all other platforms now emerging Tablet the playbook of RIM and HP WebOS, if appropriate browser available. This is also true for other web browser on the PC.
Under the assumed logic of Google, which it is the most important thing is that users bring into the net in the first place, such a scenario can only mean a win. And here rounded up for me the strategy of Google from its two operating systems under the old logic of the separate and joint marching slamming.

About PostSecret I had written before. Just before Christmas I will treat herself to me and ordered one of the PostSecret books on Amazon.

Heise Online has reported an interesting tool from Microsoft. This report, I would not hide from you.
Microsoft has unveiled the free tool Attack Surface Analyzer should auffdecken the changes in the Windows system after installing an application. The tool shows, according to Microsoft added files, registry keys and ActiveX control and points to open server ports. It also assesses the permissions of the files have been added.
This should have the primary developers determine possible to the extent to which program the attack surface on a Windows PC increased. In principle, however administrators and end users can also find out that if the installation of a program the safety adversely affected. The Attack Surface Analyzer investigated but not for specific vulnerabilities in the installed software. This tool is available as a beta version now available for download . not particularly critical, but preventable, according to Yahoo tool sets wrong permissions for installed files. In order to create a report that requires a scan through the analyzer before installing and after installing the program to be examined. In a short test of the heise Security editorial team with the MSN Messenger on Windows 7 of the Attack Surface Analyzer to access low priced criticized on several installation files. Thus, it is also possible non-administrators, these files to manipulate. It is conceivable that an attacker pushes with limited rights to other users of the same PC (with a different account) malicious code. The announcement of the tool was parallel to the Black Hat security conference. There, Microsoft has also introduced the updated version 1.2 of BinScope Binary Analyzer that supports Visual Studio 2010. The BinScope Binary Analyzer binary code checks to see if all the recommended and necessary security flags (/ GS, / SafeSEH and others), protective mechanisms (such as / DYNAMIC BASE ALSR) and controls available in the software are enabled respectively.

I assume that you already had tried to mail on your iPhone or iPad set up, but it has not worked for some reason. I will not elaborate on what POP3, IMAP and SMTP, and I assume also that your Iding has a working Internet connection and you know your e-mail address and the corresponding password. If this is not the case, please try Google before you continue reading.
you judge a mail account with the Mail app in iOS a first-time, you will have no access to some features. All settings can be found under Settings -> General -> mail, contacts, calendar

you got your password and e-mail address correctly? Though if you are 100% sure that it was right, check it again. Look in Keychain (Mac Only) to see if it actually was the correct password, or let you send your password from the manufacturer again, if you can not find it can.
second Cast your server settings?
show in this list to see if you have POP or IMAP server correctly. If you have specified an IMAP server, even though POP account is set, you must create the account once again (all the way down to scroll, click Delete Account tap and then add a new account ).

Some even go a step further and ask for money for the retrieval of messages from mobile devices. Check in every case, the settings of your party to a function which might suggest.
example of Gmail: Sign surf http://mail.google.com, and then click the top right of settings. Tab Forwarding and POP / IMAP and clicking there the appropriate radio button for POP or IMAP, Save changes not forget at the end.

In December 2010, Google finally brought the first units to its already long-awaited browser, operating system ChromeOS out. The Cr48 mentioned devices have been and are given away as a test equipment to a select group of people and have a look at the now in mid-2011 announced the final devices. If it was Google's goal in this way for a steady stream of media attention for his - in addition to Android - a second operating system to provide, it has been possible because each day can now be found on the net new reports and reviews on the subject. Interestingly, the very wide range in the assessments: from 'complete nonsense' to the assessment that with ChromeOS first time since 1.5 decades back, a serious challenger for Microsoft had appeared on stage, basically everything related to. This blog post is now trying a representation of the current state of ChromeOS, its peculiarities and its opportunities in the global market Operating systems. And as the blog title already anticipating: I think ChromeOS a whole big thing is so great that IT companies have already set out, provided they do not forgive their enormous potential for future development.
ChromeOS What is actually
ChromeOS is basically an operating system, as Microsoft Windows, Apple's OS X or Linux. It is not - as the Chrome Web browser - software that runs on another operating system. Unlike the other above-mentioned operating systems - and also in contrast to mobile operating systems like Apple's and Google's Android iOS - offers ChromeOS as Operating system, its users only a Web browser as a single application on. In other words, the Web browser is the operating system. There is no way to program, or 'apps' in the classical sense to install, even the storage of local data and files only to a limited extent possible.
ChromeOS here is a Google-initiated, as well as both fundamentally forward-driven Open Source project, which combines technical aspects of a Linux kernel with Google's renowned and successful web browser Chrome. In the original announcement of the project in 2009 called Google as the target platform for its new operating system or netbooks, ie small classic PCs low power. Made in 2010 with the triumph of iPads on one side and the Android platform on the other (mobile) side must be the original focus, however, changed.
The essential properties of ChromeOS
When the properties of ChromeOS to distinguish it from other operating systems, was summed up in one sentence, one would perhaps speak of a reduction to the essentials . Where the most interesting question is what Google has for the essentials. But we're going to first of all the individual points from:
There is only one program, and this is the web browser
The fact that users ChromeOS install any programs in the classical sense on their PC can do is probably the most radical break with all of today's popular operating system paradigms. Although rabbits are old IT objected that the so everything had been there before, only it was then called 'Terminal'.
The break is clearly even more radical when one considers that a company's system administrators can install programs. On a ChromeOS PC is installed in no case more than what was included with the operating system, and this is the web browser.
What are the consequences?
Well, on the one hand, of course, that I my only under Windows running favorite image editing program ChromeOS use on a computer can not.
And I catch a computer virus anymore. And not a Trojan. And I do not need to update every day any of the installed applications. And no program, the registry would have the chance to pollute or to leave any artifacts that paralyze my system gradually. Would that be nice.
The only thing that can be used on a ChromeOS are websites and web applications (more on that later). And here is the single most serious issue arises in a planned ChromeOS changing: there are programs (or in the worst case, poorly written web pages) to me to use a specified Operating system to force?
If you look at today personally observed, so most of the time spent at the computer on the Web: all the Google services (GMail, Calendar, Docs, Maps, Reader), Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, e-books in Amazon's Kindle page and so on. In the area of business is increasingly the issue of cloud computing, that is the relocation of services and data to external server environments, relevant. In most cases, Cloud Computing is here accompanied by the introduction of web-based user interfaces. Even the classic enterprise applications like SAP now make up at least for part of the web-based user views are available.
The interesting question - for everyone themselves must answer - it is therefore to identify the use cases, the (still) can not take place on the Web. The approach taken in this text's argument is that there is a substantial number of usage scenarios where the use of ChromeOS is already possible today, and where the use because of the other benefits of this approach would actually be compelling.
Automatic update of the entire system
The second key feature of ChromeOS the automatic update of the whole operating system. The method of automatic and silent update Google has perfected in recent years, especially in its Chrome Web browser. Only Thus it was possible to bring Google to its product in little more than 2 years up to version 9 and to combine it with any version fragmented landscape back. There is probably no other product which can point to a similar version of coherence.
The automatic updates have important advantages:
A much faster development: similar to the Chrome Web browser, even small improvements spread quickly. This especially for safety improvements. Imagine a global operating system environment in which only parts per thousand shares of the installed operating system base not with the most current version . Work
The updates will be a digital signature that is already enshrined in the computer firmware, checked for integrity and can not be forged in this way.
You can always rely on the reliability of the computer that is standing before you. Also covered no maintenance expenses for the operation, since the device itself holds up to date and there is always a built-in option gives the computer back to a defined initial state to bring.
have security at all levels
The two previous points already the major vulnerabilities of today's closed operating systems: neither can compromise one's own computer programs installed yet, the actual operating system being attacked (at least not for long). Even these properties would have to present botnet operators and virus writers actually leave the hair on end. Which is good.
remains as a gateway for more attacks, the Web browser. There does, however, from the Chrome Web browser, known and proven sandboxing, which was probably one of the main reasons - in addition to automatic updates - of which the Chrome browser was in his rapid ascent never slowed down by glaring security problems.
To complete the security concept remains just one point:
shift of their own data into the network and the synchronization of user preferences
ChromeOS is - as it - not for the storage of personal files on the computer. The idea is the complete transfer of all data in the cloud, while on the computer ChromeOS essentially only in the use of Web applications resulting data is stored. These data will be stored on the computer and can be read again after a successful login.
This has two consequences: the change from one computer to another ChromeOS is not jeopardized by a ballast of files, as it inevitably arises in any modern operating system. And the loss of a computer such as through theft ChromeOS worry not have one: not only lose any data - which are all in the cloud - yet other people can reach their own data, not even the small part that on the computer cached. simplify final
To switch from one computer to the next ChromeOS the Browser-/Betriebssystemeinstellungen associated with your account and reconciled with each application. No matter what ChromeOS computer to register: always immediately the last used environment is available again. Recall at this point once in the last own moving to another machine, how long it has lasted, until the new computer again 'good' felt? Hours? Days? Often they were weeks ago ...
all attributable to the result of a literal expense-free and uninterrupted interchange of computer hardware.
radical shortened starting times at lower hardware requirements
the design of ChromeOS deleted the Google developers have a variety of existing in today's operating systems components, which slowed both the boot process as well as the operation.
The goal - now apparently reached - is a start of the operating system in a few seconds. Where few seconds here thinks less than 5 seconds and start the operating system the period from switching on the computer to the login screen and not waking up from a sleep state. The starting velocity was the first ChromeOS prototype is compared with that of the iPads of testers.
by the radical slimming down of the operating system ChromeOS is apparently also with significantly lower hardware requirements.
And there are applications for ChromeOS
Even if - as previously described at length - is not possible to install under ChromeOS applications in the traditional sense, offers the browser operating system but a concept that the terms application or App and installation used. Google offers here on the Chrome Web Store a platform through which users can install web Applicationen in ChromeOS. In such an installation is more than just creating a bookmark with a nice icon:
By installing, applications required additional rights such as access to offline storage or the location of the user are paid only once and not again at every access. The Chrome Web Store allows this - as well as the App Store for Android and iOS - the search for specific applications, together with assessments, categorization and examination of a certain seriousness the services.
For ChromeOS users might find it a central point of contact available to new services can be. Of course, also any website / web application are quite conventionally invoked by entering the appropriate Internet address and used.
An interesting point at this point perhaps the Web technologies that support ChromeOS: In addition to HTML 5 will support Flash, but no proprietary technologies or plug-ins that are not available under Linux. This is particularly true for Microsoft's Silverlight. The hardware for running
ChromeOS
to the hardware on which ChromeOS is, can today are not told very much. Basically, a trend seems apparent to less powerful and therefore cheaper equipment.
Another argument for a relatively cheap device could also be in the previously described replacement of the hardware, why should I invest in a particularly extravagant hardware when it is completely indifferent to what device is used for his work? The extremely simple design of the Cr48 devices is therefore possibly due not only its pilot, but as a program.
support is Google on the hardware side, probably by many manufacturers will learn appropriate cooperation in the field of Android can continue here safely. Even Intel has pledged its support and not denied in the face of the old alliance with Microsoft. For device manufacturers can offer ChromeOS at least at the beginning of the chance in the competition by the best available prices to attract attention.
What are the application areas of ChromeOS
After the long preface now to the main topic of the blog entry, namely the possible use of ChromeOS fields, for they are indeed necessary to make the whole thing is really, really big. The investigation of the application areas it is roughly divided into three different areas:
The use of the private sector
The private sector says the commitment to individual personal use, an area in which there compared to corporate environments usually greater freedom, but at the same time purchased often a lot less professionalism in the operation of some point computer.
ChromeOS In this environment, probably at first not much chance to replace the existing first computer. Too vague, still appears as the idea that one of the many gigabytes of digital photos online already could organize their own or purchased is conveniently located Druck-/Scan-/Faxkombination - Google Cloudprint Despite the - can be run on a computer ChromeOS would make sense.
The great opportunity for ChromeOS in this environment, but the trend towards second, third or even fourth PC in one household. Why should the children of an expensive and insecure Windows PC get when they can with a cheap and maintenance-free ChromeOS devices as well or even better and learn to communicate? What is the standing in the kitchen and make a media center serving Netbook worry if you can avoid it? Why invest in a tablet as the iPad, if ChromeOS launches just as quickly, the battery lasts just as long as the device is cheaper and it still has a keyboard?
And just as we now even our not so computer-affinity relationship with Chrome supply as a Web browser, because we can be sure that they are not with outdated versions online and who capture knows what for malicious software, we could convince the next computer purchase really like a ChromeOS computer would prepare us a lot less trouble in the family's internal support. From the huge learning curve for today's MS Windows / MS Office systems quite apart.
Finally, could the superior safety characteristics of ChromeOS and private lives are important to conduct, for example, the online banking.
I would venture to predict that in future be found in a household to a maximum of one computer with a classic operating system, all the rest can be covered by ChromeOS devices.
Use in public areas
Under the use in public areas, all applications are combined, where the interchangeability of the hardware is in the foreground or the possibility of any computer in seconds ChromeOS feel at home . Add to that the not yet named host of ChromeOS function that corresponds to the incognito mode of the Chrome browser, and the use of Web applications in ChromeOS possible without logging.
applications there is heaps to:
Hotels: A hotel can offer its guests ChromeOS laptops. There is no cost to the devices, and guests can access without Google account via the guest mode to the network.
airlines: Much like the passengers in hotels can ChromeOS computers are made available by the low cost and the maintenance of freedom can technically untrained personnel spend the devices and problems simply provide a replacement device.
Libraries: This could simply be awarded to the visitors by those already in the previous points, benefits to equipment notes to enable and to get more information.
Schools / Colleges: Again, the costs could go with ChromeOS so far that the pupils and students, computers can be made available.
Dining: In coffee house chain is offering a Wi-Fi access to use almost naturally come with ChromeOS could add also the making available of the computer.
Information kiosks: Information systems were pure or non-interactive ads to operate without further assistance efforts with ChromeOS can
In this field of application may be the breakthrough of ChromeOS in extremely expected soon, since this is about the use by large organizations such as hotel chains or universities that use tens or hundreds of thousands of customers.
Use in Division
In contrast to the previous section, here is the supply of the IT staff of a company meant. There exists a huge range, which extends from the self-employed with quasi-private relations, to the global corporate giants. Let's start small, to: At
is probably the clearest opportunity for companies and organizations that are already real Cloud users and as the Google Apps using. This group has the option of even the Microsoft licenses to use past savings and the right to use their cloud client equipment. In such an undertaking probably almost no internal IT support is necessary.
same applies to schools and universities that participate mainly in the U.S. in large numbers in the Google program for educational institutions and thus will have Google Apps users are. They will also be able to ChromeOS further significant cost savings, but also to simultaneously implement service improvements through the simplification of device usage.
In large companies, by contrast, the existing Microsoft Windows infrastructure will not be replaced completely in the foreseeable future. Too much Are the links to the Microsoft Office world, too numerous specialty programs that work only on Windows. They are at least the knowledge that to want to migrate in recent years for various large organizations attempt to classical Linux PC. Nevertheless ChromeOS is due to its outstanding properties also found his niche now:
maintenance: In all companies there are computers for the 'general' use, for example during presentations. These can be replaced by ChromeOS. Also, field staff may be a predestined group of users, which are feared to ChromeOS not even the loss of a device would have.
Security: The BSI has just re-issued a warning to take when traveling abroad only completely empty laptops and cell phones to avoid industrial espionage. This could be a previously ChromeOS not have achieved safety levels and still enable convenient usage.
can also but also in the vicinity of large companies a quick replacement of the normal workstation by ChromeOS be anticipated, because the so-called ChromeOS brings Receiver with Citrix. This software is already widely used for desktop virtualization in Windows environments, enabling the use ChromeOS even if the users have access to certain purposes or Windows computer. For IT departments that would reduce the end-user device support in the extreme case for the release of a computer and the time-consuming operation of the MS Windows infrastructure may be limited to a few central servers.
What consequences should IT companies from ChromeOS
pull ChromeOS Although at this moment not yet available as a complete IT product companies are already well discussed this option in their future strategy to be considered. This may be the use of as much as possible should ChromeOS enterprise applications already chosen are that they:
are entirely web-based,
for using any Web browser (or at least Chrome) can be used and
any operating system on which the browser is installed.
Points 2 and 3 are particularly important: Microsoft introduces Silverlight now using a proprietary browser extension that Linux systems can not be used. A Web application that requires such extensions can not be used under ChromeOS and should be avoided. Another example is the SAP Web client, the shares only for certain browser types. Here one can probably only to the growing Dissemination of Chrome and other browsers are hoping to try and force large providers such as SAP to appropriate clearances.
credit
My assessment was that with ChromeOS one of the first real breaks in desktop operating systems is imminent for a long time, has in writing this text strengthened even further. Too many services in recent years have already hiked in the cloud, much as the web browser is now the main working tool, too complex or too uncertain, most of the other over decades operating systems than one could dismiss were stuck behind ChromeOS vision yet.
The trend is also the cloud from the explosion of mobile platforms iOS Android and promoted, as this today from a productive organization now irreplaceable tools to enforce the collection and provision of all critical applications on central servers over the network in a previously unknown extent. It is therefore considered for the IT operations for other reasons important to the above principles in choosing the products to keep them in view of the variety of devices with which they are confronted suddenly incapacitated.
If ChromeOS actually available in the middle of 2011, this could be the day after the various statistics so moving around the 10% market share of the Chrome web browser by the end of easily double. And after that? Perhaps it is not unrealistic to expect that Chrome will soon replace the Internet Explorer browser with the largest market share and operating systems MacOS overtaken quickly.
And to make something exciting - and so it is worth in a year purely to watch again - I submit the following prediction: if ChromeOS will be published as planned, then the market share of Chrome (whether as a browser or are present as OS) in 12 months at least 25%. The reference here is to apply the Netmarketshare index, in the Chrome end of December 2010, a share of certified just under 10%.
