I’m glad to have another post of Tcat Houser editor-in-chief of TRCBNews.com.

With the World Mobile Congress in Barcelona for year 2012 behind us, we now see what Apple has in store with Mountain Lion and Microsoft with Windows 8.

It seems very clear Microsoft is trying to catch up to Apple with the concept of the App Store. Now wait a minute, could not one also say that Apple is trying to play catch-up to Amazon.com? Even during the Great Recession, Amazon.com revenue and sales grew while many of the big box retailers stumbled and mom-and-pop stores dried up and blew away in the pessimistic mood.

All the indicators would suggest an App Store is where it is it.

Wait a minute. Have not I seen this somewhere before? Err…. yes I have! It is called:

Here are some free, open-source, and useful network tools for Linux:

1) tcpdump is a common packet analyzer that runs under the command line. It allows the user to intercept and display TCP/IP and other packets being transmitted or received over a network to which the computer is attached. Distributed under the BSD license. The tcpdump command has a lot of advanced features, most of which revolve around filtering and finding a needle in a haystack of packets. If you run tcpdump on a remote machine, your screen will be flooded with all the ssh traffic between your client and the remote machine. To get started without having to learn too much about how tcpdump filtering works, run the following command:

sudo tcpdump | grep -v ssh

Miro, a new application for Internet video has been designed to be an easy app that will give users an amazing full-screen show. With over thousands of free videos that can be viewed from the Internet, Miro gives the user the ability to download all the chosen videos they enjoy as soon as they are released.

I’m glad to have another post of Tcat Houser editor-in-chief of TRCBNews.com.

With Apple’s big announcement for March 7, it seemed appropriate to look at the *NIX derivative BSD on which OS X and IOS are based. Specifically, were going to take on file system. And looking with the skeptical view of how American public corporations tend to work in the best interests of their shareholders. Have you ever examined the file format options available in OS X and Windows? The tale gets interesting.

In the beginning, there was DOS. Okay, before that it was UNIX. A real network operating system. I do not think we need to going to the story about why we have Linux. And in our timeline Linux is not even in the twinkle of an eye for Linus T. So the options were (at the microcomputer level) , CP/M. Created by Gary Kendall. Yes, he had an LP/M , kind of, sort of, started for Intel microprocessors. And the Zilog microprocessor was King, as was CP/M.

It is a matter of historical fact that IBM flew out from New York to California to meet with Mr. Kendall about licensing, CP/M. There is much conjecture and nothing of formal record as to what happened. More precisely, what did not happen.

Here’s how I set up sSMTP on Ubuntu to send mail through my Gmail account.
