Can VLC 1.0 change the world?

VLC 1.0 has about 6 million downloads since its launch a few days ago, and the number was climbing at over 11 per second at last count. I have had VLC for a few years, and you may be wondering what the big deal is. Start with the fact it breaks all the assumptions we’ve had about the proprietary video world. It reads anything , and ignores everything producers try to put in front of your video experience. On a Netflix DVD it will skip the previews, for instance. As Matt Asay notes, VLC records as well as plays video so you can hoard everything Anne Hathaway has ever done on your hard drive. It can be used as a server to stream video to others.

But for much of the enterprise world Active Directory is the tool used. Does this mean you are locked into managing Active Directory from a Windows machine? No. If you are a creature of the command line you can manage your AD from the Linux command line.

There is one issue to settle on the MS end. You have to activate Secure LDAP on your AD Server. This process goes beyond the scope of this article, but the steps are pretty clear.

ISRO All Set To Launch Bhuvan Mapping Service Today!

Hailed as the Google Earth killer, Bhuvan is an indigenous mapping system developed by ISRO to focus only on the Indian sub-continent. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is all set to unveil today its new mapping service Bhuvan -- considered to be a tough competitor to Google Earth and Wikimapia. Bhuvan, which means 'earth' in Sanskrit, will allow users to have a closer look at any part of the subcontinent barring sensitive locations such as military and nuclear installations. Dr G Madhavan Nair, chairman, ISRO will launch the Bhuvan webportal at a function today in the presence of Prithviraj Chavan, minister of state in the Prime Minister's Office. Developed by ISRO, Bhuvan allows users to zoom far closer than the aerial view from a chopper. Bhuvan will be able to deliver high resolution imagery data of the order of five metres. On the other hand, Google Earth shows details up to 200 metres distance and Wikimapia up to 50 metres. Bhuvan will focus only on the I
