Repair feature DNS - Network

Repair feature

As an alternative to ipconfig you can use Repair to renew LAN or high-speed Internet connection IP settings. Repair performs a series of commands that repair a connection. The commands that are invoked by Repair are listed below with their command-line equivalents:

Repair	Command-line equivalent
Checks whether DHCP is enabled and, if enabled, issues a broadcast renew to refresh the IP address	No command line equivalent available
Flushes the ARP cache	arp -d *
Flush the NetBIOS cache	nbtstat -R
Flushes the DNS cache	ipconfig /flushdns
Re-registers with WINS	nbtstat -RR
Re-registers with DNS	ipconfig /registerdns

Important

•	Repair uses a broadcast renew and will cause a computer to accept any lease from any DHCP server that is on the network. In contrast, a unicast renew (ipconfig /renew) will only renew the existing lease from the last DHCP server from which the client got a lease.

For Thai teens, TV is now 'so last year'

Internet and mobile phones rated as top two 'screens' of choice in media survey by local marketing firm

A recent study of Thai youths has suggested the role of television may be shrinking.
The study, by McCann Worldgroup, found Thai youths feel the Internet is the most important media, while the "second screen" is their mobile phone, which they "can't live without".
Television ranked third in terms of importance to their life.
Dropping by at a 7-Eleven is also part of life for local youths, while good morals
are their new cool, the study found.
McCann, a leading marketing communications group, conducted the study called "My Media" to explore the role of media in the lives of Thai youths.
Marc Davies, vice president of strategic planning at McCann Erickson Thailand, said there were a few surprises in the results.
"That's a shift from traditional media to innovative
and interactive media. We
have known about this but the speed of change is very rapid," he said.
Among other results include the finding that Thai youths love free things and that "good morals" are popular.
"Even though they like to break the rules, good morals are a new cool. But it must be expressed in a cool concept," said Varidda Voraakom, consumer insight manager at McCann. She cited a recent TV ad by Siam Commercial Bank called Namjai (thoughtfulness) as a commercial that Thai youths liked.
Varidda said the survey found Thai youths were very fragmented in terms of preferences and tastes, that below-the-line media campaigns were often significant to them, but the role of television in their lives was shrinking.
"The interesting thing is how to make online advertisements that are liked by teens," she said.
However, when asked about their preferred advertising channels, television was top and the Internet and mobile phone fell to fourth and fifth place respectively, behind even outdoor/indoor ads and magazine/radio ads.
Davies said the study strongly confirmed it was no longer enough for a brand to send messages to consumers. The advertising message had to be relevant to their lifestyle or teens would ignore it.
To utilise mobile phones, marketers must carefully think about "sending good news at the right time" such as a really interesting and exclusive privilege. Or using a reference by friends would be more effective.
"When the message tone is beeping, it's like giving me hope that my friend or someone is sending me message. But when I read, there're 3 messages from a mobile operator. I feel so sad," a female university student was quoted in the survey as saying.
Varidda said teens felt disappointed and automatically disregarded content when SMS senders were not who they expected.
Davies said targeting customers demographically was no longer valid. Instead, marketers should look at "psycho-graphic profiles of targeted customers.
"Demography such as where people live, their age, sex, and social income are no longer connected. A 38-year-old male may have exactly the same needs as a 21-year-old male or even female," he said.
Davies said marketers should also understand that it's age of "My time" now.
"More than half of youth advertising will involve consumers to consumers - 'I am the Media'," he said.
Varidda said the new "media paradigm" was online/ offline. Promotional events that include below-the-line activities were currently very popular among teens, and wireless users. Firms should no longer choose different types of media on the basis of penetration, she said.

More Storage : Hotmail 5 GB

Hotmail will soon bring you more of your requests, better performance
We went out of beta in May, and we’re already releasing something new. Today, these new features will begin to roll our gradually to all our customers over the next few weeks, so if you don’t immediately see them, be patient, they’re coming!

It’s a fun time to be working on Hotmail. We already did a ton of work to get the basics ready to get out of beta, so now we’ve been able to add some more of the extras that our more advanced users have been asking for. We’re continuing to collect feedback and using it to guide which areas of the product to improve next. Thanks to all of you who were beta testers, have clicked the “feedback” link in Hotmail, or leave constructive comments on the blog. We’re listening!

Performance: We’ve been hearing you loud and clear across the world: speed is one of the most important aspects of a web-based email service. We’ve spent more time in this release identifying what parts of the product are slowest and fixing those. We hope that you notice an improvement when this update is released to your account, and we’ll continue our work on performance in future releases.

Quality of Service: Our last release went quite smoothly, and we’ve been continuing to monitor the live site to make sure that we’re providing e-mail that is reliable – you always want to be able to get to your mail, and we hear you!

More storage! Just when you were wondering how you’d ever fill up 2 or 4 GB of mail, we’ve given you more storage. Free users will get 5 GB and paid users will get 10 GB of Hotmail storage.

Mail retention changes: We’ll be increasing the amount of time that we leave messages in your junk and deleted items folders over the next few months.

Contacts de-duplication: Do you have five different entries for the same person in your Contacts? Yeah, me too, but not anymore. We’re the first webmail service to roll out “contacts de-duplication”. If you get a message from “Steve Kafka” and click “add contact” but there’s already a Steve Kafka, we’ll let you know and let you add Steve’s other e-mail address to your existing “Steve Kafka” contact entry. We’re just trying to be smarter to make your life easier and faster. There’s also a wizard you can run to clean up your existing duplicate contacts.

Show content more easily: Hotmail blocks images and links in messages from unknown senders for your protection from spammers and phishing scams. Now you can click directly on the gray square or link to decide if you want to show content in a message. (It’s still not a good idea to show content, especially images, in messages from spammers. Just loading the images in a spam lets them know that you’re reading their e-mails.)

Spam-fighting: We’ve made it possible to report phishing attacks like those fake bank notices or fraudsters who want your checking account number so they can supposedly make a deposit. Just click “report phishing” if you think you’ve found a dangerous scam. In the junk folder, click “not junk” to help train our filters. Every mail you report does help make our spam filter smarter, but fighting spam takes constant vigilance. Spammers always find a new trick whenever we thwart their old tricks.

Right-to-left languages: Support for Hebrew and Arabic is now out of beta! If you speak these languages or want to see Hotmail in a totally new way, go to Options and change your language. We fixed a lot of bugs for users of Hebrew and Arabic, so we hope the whole UI works better for you now.

More space for your email, a.k.a. smaller header: We heard you asking for more space for your mail, so we shrunk the header in this update.

Forwarding messages: You can now forward mail from your Hotmail account to other accounts. For now, if you have a free account, you can only forward your mail to other Hotmail accounts. (Paid accounts get more choices.) This is great idea if you have a few different addresses and want to consolidate your mail.

Cobranding: This is what we call showing the logo of an organization for whom we are hosting email. Hotmail is currently hosting e-mail for universities (and a few ISPs) around the world, so we show their logos in Hotmail.

Accepting meeting requests: If you receive a meeting request, such as one sent from Outlook, you can now click “accept” and have it added to your Calendar. This had existed for years in MSN Hotmail, and we’re adding it to Windows Live Hotmail now.

Vacation replies: Now Hotmail can automatically tell your friends why you haven’t written them back in a few weeks.

Classic version jump to page: In the classic version, we’ve made it easier to jump to different pages of mail. This will be very handy as you grow into your new 5 GB or 10 GB account.

And finally... Drumroll please… we know this is going to be a big hit with a lot of you out there in blog land. I hope you remember this as the Hotmail team listening to what you want. J

You can turn off the Today page (if you want to). If you’d rather see your inbox immediately upon login, you have the option to turn off the page of MSN news (called the Today page). The choice is yours.

The Incredible Hulk

Islands of Adventure, Universal Orlando, Orlando, FL

The Incredible Hulk's shocking-green track looms ominously over the IOA skyline. The "groarrr" that each train emits as it dives and twists through the course draws even more attention to the imposing beast.
The queue snakes through the lab of Dr. Bruce Banner (the Hulk's alter ego for you Marvel illiterates) where high-tech gadgetry abounds. The theme has something to do with a gamma-ray experiment gone wrong. It's hard to follow the storyline but the industrial soundtrack is catchy and the atmosphere is compelling.
Like Disney's Rock 'n' Roller Coaster and other launched coasters, the Hulk doesn't have a traditional click-clack-click lift hill. Unlike the magnetic induction systems that propel those coasters however, the Hulk's train of cars move slowly up the green "Gamma Force Accelerator" tube and a specially designed booster thrust -- the first of its kind -- catapults its pneumatic tires 40 mph uphill. The launch requires the same thrust as a U.S. Air Force F-16 jet. Universal had to build a special power generating plant to accommodate the ride.
The effect is like being trapped inside an old movie that's running way too fast. Quickly accelerating uphill defies logic and feels both exhilarating and terrifying.
Emerging from the tube, the train barrels through a complete inversion 110 feet off the ground and accelerates to 60 mph as it "groarrrs" through rollovers, corkscrews and fog-enshrouded tunnels. The G-forces are quite intense. Hulkamaniacs should look out for the mid-course freefall; a trim brake momentarily halts the madness but it feels as if the bottom drops out when the train unexpectedly takes yet another sharp dive down.

Nintendo Wii phone

Rumors are circulating that Nintendo on the back of their huge Wii success are planning to get a piece of the cell phone action. After seeing all the attention the Zune Phone and Apple iPhone have been getting lately, Nintendo may see a opportunity to break into this very competitive market. For now this is just a rumor, maybe it will come true who knows stranger things have happened.

What's you can do at Disney world "Animal Kingdom"

Added in 1998, Animal Kingdom is the most spacious Disney Park by a large margin (500 acres), although most of that belongs to a menagerie of exotic free-roaming animals. See them on the 20-minute excursion, "Kilimanjaro Safaris," as soon as the park opens, before lines build and the animals seek shade from the sun. Unfortunately, the balance of the big-ticket attractions (the clever, sense-tricking movie It's Tough to Be a Bug! shown beneath the Tree of Life, the bruising indoor ride Dinosaur, and a few exhibits about animal conservation) doesn't keep most guests busy enough to say until closing time (at dusk). Disney is trying to rectify that with the new roller coaster Expedition Everest, opened in spring 2006.

What's you can do at Disney world "MAGIC KINGDOM"

MAGIC KINGDOM
Orlando
When most first-time visitors imagine Walt Disney World, the place with the castle and the Hall of Presidents, and Space Mountain, they're thinking of the Magic Kingdom, which was the first of the four theme parks to open on Disney property back in 1971. This is the Disney World children dream of, the larger version of California's original Disneyland, where an idealized mock-up of a prototypical Main Street USA spills into several themed lands (Frontierland, Adventureland, Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, Mickey's Toontown Fair) stocked with tame rides and wandering Mickeys, Minnies, Goofys, and the odd Captain Hook. Get those famous mouse ears at Le Chapeau, just to the right as you enter.

What's you can do at Disney world "EPCOT"

Although Walt Disney wanted Epcot to be a real experimental community, like the Biosphere, what eventually opened 16 years after his death was more akin to a World's Fair, with corporate-sponsored rides and a mini-United Nations of pavilions representing a few of the world's countries. Epcot's focal point, the gorgeous orb of Spaceship Earth, houses one of the last attractions remaining from the 1982 opening (a history of communications). The Future World area, which surrounds Spaceship Earth, purports to praise scientific advances but is really a collection of family-friendly thrills such as the launch simulator Mission:Space and the flying simulator Soarin'. World Showcase, gathered on a 1.3-mile footpath encircling the World Showcase Lagoon, is staffed by people native to the country of their respective pavilions. Naturally, the American pavilion takes pride of place at the center. Authentic souvenirs and food are available at each stop. So is alcohol, which isn't sold at the Magic Kingdom.

China ethics plea after fake buns

By James Reynolds BBC News, Beijing

Workers said they added cardboard to buns at the reporter's suggestionChina's propaganda department has called on journalists to strictly adhere to news ethics.
The instructions came in the wake of a case in which a reporter was caught faking a story about buns made from cardboard.
The Chinese Communist Party heavily controls its media, deciding what people can and cannot publish and broadcast.
But it seems that it cannot always stop reporters simply making up stories.
In recent weeks China has been following a series of reports about low food and drug safety standards.
The most captivating story of all came a few days ago.
Zi Beijia, a reporter for Beijing TV, ran a report about a food store that mixed cardboard into its pork buns as a cheap ingredient.
His report showed workers mushing the cardboard into a sludgy mix and then adding it to dough and pork.
Police then raided the store. Workers admitted that they had added the cardboard - but at the suggestion of the reporter, who had apparently grown frustrated that he had found nothing wrong with the store after spending 10 days spying on it.
The reporter is quoted as saying that his aim was to become famous. He succeeded - but he also got arrested.

Singapore tries harder

If frequent visitors start feeling a little fatigued by the Lion City's shop-eat-shop rigours, maybe they can turn the guide map upside down and start over

The Singapore Tourist Board may have had Thais suffering from "Singapore fatigue" in mind when it recently treated journalists from across Asia to a weekend on the town.
The glamour of a couple of nights in the Lion City has worn off for many of the Thais who had become frequent visitors thanks to cheap airfares. Now they look forward to getting back to crazy, chaotic Bangkok on Sunday evening as much as they used to

crave their shopping safaris in sedate, orderly Singapore.
The latest push is "Uniquely Singapore", melding lifestyle and tourism. The message is that if you normally spend your weekends shopping, dining out and clubbing, it's more fun there.
Here's a run-down on what the tourist board has in mind.
Come and be truly fed
If you arrive in Singapore in time for lunch, head straight to My Secret Garden, a wine bar and restaurant on Middle Street, for some crayfish spaghetti, a real palate-pleaser with its aromatic tomato sauce, and follow that with tiramisu for an energy boost.
Alternatively, Red White & Pure's East-meets-West cuisine at Vivo City stands out as the creation of Eu Yan Sang, the city's venerable traditional-Chinese-medicine chain. The fully integrated "lifestyle concept store" occupies more than 10,000 square feet on two floors and includes a restaurant, bar and wellness studio as well as the retail link. The restaurant's menu was concocted by chefs from Australia and Thailand.
Then there is Global Kitchen, which takes Sunday brunch to new heights with caviar, oysters, truffles, foie gras and free-flowing Veuve Clicquot.
And the Halia Restaurant at the Singapore Botanic Gardens is another great spot for the first meal of the day. The palm trees shimmy and the ginger is in bloom while you enjoy your meal watching a wedding party have its photos taken in the park.
A favourite standby is Jumbo Seafood Restaurant, which has branches all over the city. Book early if you're heading to the outlet on Clarke Quay, but the one at Boat Quay is a little less busy. The crowds come for the chilli and pepper crab and fried prawns with cereal.
Hey, big spender
The shoppers of Orchard Street continue trawling the malls into the wee hours on the last Friday of each month. Officially promoted, Friday Late Night Shopping can have you haggling at 1am with any of the 300 bleary-eyed merchants who participate. Set a course for Wheelock Place, Paragon, Ngee Ann City, Centre Point, Wisma Atria, Tang's and Cathay Cineleisure.
The taxis will get you nowhere in this mayhem, but there will still be mass-transit trains and buses on Orchard until 12.40am, and at Dhoby Ghaut Station until 12.55, Sengkang Town Centre till 1.26 and Punggol Town Centre till 1.28.
Shop elsewhere - choose among Bugis, Geylang Serai, Kampong Glam and Arab Street or Little India, Marina Bay, Northbridge Road, China Town and Vivo City.
Vivo City opened late last year on the Harbour Front, opposite Sentosa, with more than 300 retail, dining and entertainment outlets sprawled over a million square feet, out-sprawling previous record holder Suntec City.
During its first week, Vivo City almost managed to squeeze in one shopper per square foot, but it's no longer that crowded. You can now leisurely enjoy the harbour promenade and the rooftop play-pools inspired by the waves of the sea.
Movie buffs can check out what's playing at Singapore's largest Golden Village multiplex - 15 screens. Afterwards, hit the Dairy Farm hypermart for your groceries, discover that you're late while passing the luxury-watch shop Sincere Haute Horlogerie and invest in some running shoes at the Adidas Original Store.
Try not to get distracted as you dash for home by the big brand-name stores, like Aldo, Bossini, Brooks Brothers, Lee Hwa Jewellery, Zara, Mango and Thirtysevendegrees.
Let the dogs out
Opposite Vivo City is St James Power, the city's top power-dancing magnet, with 10 different entertainment venues, rivalling the massive Ministry of Sound at Clarke Quay and the 70,000-square-foot Zouk.
On narrow, crooked Club Street at the edge of Chinatown (where there is, yes, more shopping), the trendy gather to see and be seen. Pre-war shophouses give their retail activities a modern, quirky look and sidle up to hip bars and restaurants.
Vanilla Home at 48 Club Street is an art gallery where you can also buy home decor made by Mariano Fortuny and Porta Romana. Venue, at 44-46 Club, stocks big-label fashions like Alexander McQueen.
The Yoga Shala is a small stretching studio at No 99, and there's the Oriental Traditional Therapy Centre at No 25.
Dine at Indochine and drink in its Bar S'Vanh, and there's more quaffing and smacking of lips underway at Jerry's Bar and Grill at No 92, famous for its buffalo wings, and at Senso Ristorante & Bar at No 21.
Nearby Ann Siang Hill has more great shopping and dining, plus a new experience for anyone who loves to eat while watching movies: the Screening Room. Forget popcorn; here you get fine cuisine to match the fine films, all matched up by theme.
It also has a rooftop bar for casual cocktails under the starry sky and a basement bar for whisky lovers.
The Singapore Tourist Board knows its stuff, and it's blessed with plenty of terrific places and activities to promote. "Uniquely Singapore" isn't packed with precedents, but there's so much going on there that boredom certainly seems a long shot.
