![]() Is it worth the tradeoff to battery life? If you need a high-res display, then yes. The latest XPS 13 model debuts a gorgeous OLED panel that provides rich picture quality for when you're streaming movies at home or editing videos for work. Everything we love about the other XPS configurations remains, including the fast performance, striking design, and top-rate touchpad. Combining the two creates something close to magic - an ultra-portable device capable of running most tasks while providing a cinema-like viewing experience. While Macs should recognise this plug-and-play USB device, you'll be left without the services of the video (RightLight 2) and audio (RightSound) optimisation apps, as well as the video effects and filters.The Dell XPS 13 OLED is what happens when the best laptop meets the latest display technology. Videos are recorded as WMV files and are played back using Windows Media Player. Your recorded videos and photos are listed as thumbnails at the bottom of the QuickCam window. Large buttons are provided for recording video or snapping a picture, and changing the resolution of each is dead simple. ![]() The bundled QuickCam software features a pleasing interface and is very easy to navigate. A travel pouch is also included, which helps protect the lens when stashed in your laptop bag. Handfuls of each are included on the CD, with many more available on Logitech's site. The integrated microphone did an average job at capturing audio it was no better or worse than the Creative Live Cam Notebook Ultra in delivering clean audio.Įxtras include an assortment of avatars ("hey, look - I'm a talking alien!") and other video effects ("hey, look - I'm wearing a funny hat!" to "hey, look - I'm in a room with bubbles!") to jazz up your Webcam chats. The Logitech cam does a better job than the Creative Live Cam Notebook Ultra at keeping a bobbing head in the frame, but the amount of swivel and tilt in the lens is limited. The Webcam's auto-focus feature does an admirable job of keeping you focused, but the face-tracking feature was a bit hit-or-miss. With software interpolation, you can take 3-, 4-, and 8-megapixel pictures at the expense of image clarity. You can take still pictures at 1.3-megapixel and 2.0-megapixel resolutions. You can capture video as fast as 30 frames per second and at one of three resolutions: 320x240, 640x480, and 960x720. Colours were vivid, and flesh tones were accurate. We tested under bright lights, low light, and outdoors, and in each scenario, the QuickCam Pro for Notebooks provided the best image. Further, Logitech's RightLight 2 software does an amazing job of providing a great image under a variety of light conditions, including in low light where most Webcams struggle. For starters, its 2.0-megapixel sensor is larger than the 1.3 megapixel sensors typically found on Webcams. The QuickCam Pro for Notebooks more than makes up for its clunky design with its stellar image quality. ![]() Also, be sure to smile when you go to readjust the Webcam a button at the top of the camera body lets you snap still photos and is almost impossible to avoid accidentally depressing when you reach for the camera. Slight adjustments to the laptop resulted in the camera drooping forward or listing to one side. The rubberised, spring-loaded clip on the back feels sturdy, but the rounded back and the nub on the front part of the clip makes better contact with the included 300mm stand than with any of the three laptops we used for testing. The Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebooks sits 61mm tall by 30.5mm wide. You can adjust sliders for brightness, contrast, colour intensity, and white balance, but we found the best results by enabling RightLight and leaving it at that. An audio tuning wizard lets you optimise the volume for audio input (microphone) and out (speakers). Install the bundled QuickCam software, then plug in the Webcam.

There are other free (and better looking) shooters out there, but I love OpenArena’s retro feel and simplicity.GPU - Radeon (TM) 530 or Nvidia GTX 1050 and above. It is updated fairly regularly, and I can’t wait to see what all they do with it. I enjoy playing this game from time to time. There is also a wide range of maps, for good old death matches and for the slightly more tactical CTF mode. This isn’t too much, but it’s very easy to find a server to play in. When I checked, there were 83 servers up for OpenArea. From the close quarter combat saw (which you can switch to at any time by pressing 1) to the long range sniper (or rail gun) with some shot guns, rockets, and more in between. There’s a wide arrangement of weapons, too. This is a pretty face paced game compared to most of the stuff out today. I find this pretty entertaining sometimes.Īnyway, onto the game play.

Please note: This guide was initially published back in 2008 and OpenArena has changed (not super-significantly) since then. ![]() How you present your profile significantly affects how successful it is. The purpose of a company profile should act as your guide throughout the process, so take your time on it. On the other hand, if you want to attract customers, it's best to add the company values to your profile. For instance, if your goal is to attract investors, you can include: You want to make sure that the statement aligns with what you're trying to accomplish. This is the most critical part when writing an effective company profile. State the purpose of the company profile. Here are 10 steps to guide you on how to write your company profile. In fact, it can be straightforward given the right guidance. Creating a company profile doesn't have to be nerve-wracking.

Add your company's contact information.Name the awards your company has received.Describe the products and services you offer.State the purpose of the company profile.What do you want your company to be known for?Is your company the one that started as a small family-owned shop then grew into a billion-dollar enterprise? Or is it a company that upholds sustainability and puts ethics at the forefront of its brand? You can build your reputation through marketing, service, and sales campaigns, but it all begins with a well-curated first impression. A Company profile builds your reputation. You can justify a higher price point for your products and services, if you go into details about your production values or ethically-sourced materials.įor instance, Starbucks’ coffee may not be necessarily better than Dunkin’ Donuts’ coffee, but because Starbucks goes into details about its high-quality ingredients, it immediately creates the sense that you’ll be paying a little more for a "better" product. A company profile may justify a higher price point. Your history and values are integral parts of your brand positioning strategy, and a company profile is where you can mention this information without it feeling extraneous or out-of-place. It automatically differentiates your brand because no other company has the exact same founding story and reason for existing that your business does. A company profile differentiates your brand.Ī company profile describes what makes your company unique. Here are some of the reasons why having a company profile is important: 1. They share how your company got started - and why you continue to serve customers. Why Company Profiles are ImportantĬompany profiles go a step beyond the standard “about” page. In most cases, a profile includes an 'About Us' section that narrates how the company was founded, its why’s, and a section that introduces leadership team members.Ī company profile serves multiple purposes, and two of its primary purposes are to attract investors for funding opportunities and to connect with the customers. A company profile introduces a business's mission, goals, vision, and history. ![]() Simply download the relevant program files to any device you plan to sync For this review I will sync files between my Windows 10 PC and my Android phone (and yes, I know that I should use Linux to achieve any real security on my PC, but most readers will be using Windows).

It does, however, allow Perfect Forward Secrecy to be used during TLS authentication, and if combined with RSA for key exchange (as it is in all the examples above) will guard against MitM attacks, and should be very secure. The Diffie-Hellman cryptographic key exchange (DHE) has recently caused huge controversy over its re-use of a limited set of prime numbers, which makes it vulnerable to being cracked by a powerful adversary such as the NSA. This uses TLS 1.2 certificate-based authentication in combination with a “strong cipher suite” and Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS).

News articles should follow the inverted pyramid structure and the headline should share the most important information first. Newspaper headlines need to include the most important information about the article and leave other details out, but they should still be engaging and be able to pique interest. What Is a Headline in a Newspaper?Ī newspaper headline is what you use to summarize what’s in the article and get people interested in reading it.

![]() It’s at the shipyards that new, more powerful ships can be purchased, or repaired, or outfitted with extra guns and ammo. Shipyards are critical places, and not every port has them. ![]() Warehouses let you store goods, creditors lend you money (with high interest rate dues), and pubs are a great place to hear tips on when certain goods at are premium prices. A bank lets you deposit and withdraw your savings, and your investments earn a 1% interest rate per month. Each port has a different combination of other buildings, including banks, creditors, shipyards, and warehouses. While every town has a marketplace, pub, and governor’s house, the similarities end there. As the game progresses, there are more goods available in marketplaces, each with a different range of high and low prices depending on the time of year. Shrewd captains aim to buy cotton, timber, fish, guns, and other items at low prices in one port and then carry them to another port town where they can hopefully be sold at a high price for profit. ![]() Every port town has a marketplace with several goods available. Along the way you will fight your way through numerous pirate encounters while transporting goods from one port to another. As the captain of an armed cargo ship, you wish to make as much money as possible. Unlike the first Tradewinds, which took place in the Far East, Tradewinds 2 has its background set during the expansionist period of resource trade in the colonized Caribbean. The level of detail, complexity, and replay value here is rather astonishing for a Palm/PDA based-title. However, this sequel sports improvements in every facet of the game. Tradewinds 2 is a follow-up to the original strategy game about trading goods and avoiding pirates on the high seas. Other favorites include "Set Your Name Free" and "Surfin' Safari." These not-so-Disney numbers are made a little more enjoyable by the addition of character vocals ("Hot Hot Hot" deserves honorable mention solely for Goofy's performance), even if it wasn't the best idea to include more songs of this variety than of the classic Disney kind. Peter Pan's swashbuckling "A Pirate's Life" brings a little piracy to Walt Disney World and Ariel makes a shore-side appearance with the young female cast members to belt out "Part of Your World," both of which stand out as the more memorable segments. As the first performance - "Celebration" - makes clear, the set list challenges the traditional notion of a "Disney song." Only two tunes decisively fall into that category. And though River Country is currently closed and sadly dilapidating in a forgotten corner of the resort, the two parks that are the subject of this production still stand ten years later, as Beach Party (which was later renamed as part of the Sing Along Songs series, a title it retains today) makes its way to DVD.Įleven songs and an opening number (the original "Mickey's Fun Songs" theme of yore) comprise the little more than a half-hour of entertainment. When Disney World opened Blizzard Beach in 1995, its third and most recent water park, it saw yet another opportunity to work its synergetic magic, resulting in the release of Beach Party at Walt Disney World, a Mickey's Fun Songs production that made use of both Typhoon Lagoon and the then-brand new Blizzard Beach in much the same way that Campout at Walt Disney World had done with River Country and the Wilderness Lodge hotel one year prior. Sing Along Songs and Mickey's Fun Songs, two series of interwoven musical segments packaged on VHS with on-screen lyrics, emerged as a successful part of the company's experimentation in that market in the 1980s and '90s and they have become a staple of the Home Entertainment branch ever since. It was around this same time that Disney was finding success in the home video market, where its popular film properties could be put to a whole new use. Thirteen years passed and two new resort parks opened before the South Mouse decided to try its hand at another outdoor water park Typhoon Lagoon opened in 1989. In 1976, just five years after its grand opening, the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida made its first attempt at a water park for the public, River Country. ![]() Outsourced services, all supported by members of the Impact team.

The information included conversations between the gang’s members, which were mainly focused on the Conti ransomware. Some of the information related to the group’s use of crypters was extracted from the files a Ukrainian security researcher leaked via Twitter following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. However, the researchers noticed that the gang used a separate crypter – dubbed ShellStarter – for its own Anchor malware. The hacking group discontinued TrickBot in December 2021, and retired BazarLoader in February 2022, but continued to offer its crypters to other malware families. ![]() Ransomware families such as AstroLocker, Conti, MountLocker, and Quantum also use it. Malware families using Wizard Spider’s crypting service include TrickBot, BazarLoader, Cobalt Strike, Colibri, Emotet, IcedID, Gozi, Qakbot, and Sliver. In fact, IBM has discovered evidence showing that, in April 2021, the group set up a Jenkins build server for the automated encryption of malware at scale. The cybercrime gang has been encrypting their malware for years, but the development of new crypters suggested that the group was looking to expand the operation. One of these support groups within ITG23 is dedicated to developing crypters for use with the group’s own malware operations as well as for several other groups,” IBM explains. “ITG23 is best thought of as a group of groups, not unlike a large corporation, who report to common ‘upper management’ and share infrastructure and support functions, such as IT and human resources. The tight connection between Conti and TrickBot has been long known, and a report earlier this year suggested that Conti bought TrickBot sometime around the end of 2021. Wizard Spider, IBM says, has expanded operations with the deployment of BazarLoader and Anchor, and stepped deep into the ransomware business, with Diavol, Ryuk, and Conti. The malware has evolved into helping the mass distribution of other malware families, and the cybercrime group behind it has widened its activities as well. The TrickBot malware family emerged in 2016, when it mainly facilitated online banking fraud. The use of crypters to obfuscate malware in order to evade antivirus detection is not new, but TrickBot’s operators – which are known as Wizard Spider, ITG23, or the Trickbot Group – took this practice to a new level, by automating the crypting of malware at scale with the launch of a Jenkins build server. Researchers with IBM Security’s X-Force division have analyzed 13 crypters employed by the cybercrime group behind the infamous TrickBot and Conti malware. |
