Is Google getting into Business Intelligence?

Firstly, did you know what is Business Intelligence (BI) ?
BI: is the ways in which we store and use information. It encompass the technologies, applications and means for collecting, integrating, analyzing and presenting business data.

Secondly
Our most familiar search engine,Google
Google launches Data Explorer which is a new powerful visualization tool that lets you explore, visualize and share the data.
Its a question that I'm sure keeps some software executives awake at night!!! They have all but taken over the web analytics space causing market leaders to  move away from the segment all together. With the recent launch of Google Public Data Explorer they are now dipping their toe into the world of data analysis and visualization. Coupled with the recent surge of freely available online databases like OECD Factbook, Un-Employment in the US from the Bureau of Labor and a dozen or so others. Google is truly delivering easy to use and somewhat powerful analytics tools to the masses.

The interface is easy and simple to use includes lots of sliders and click boxes. They have even integrated Google maps into the application to supply simple Geo based features. Its clear that Google could step into the Enterprise Software space pretty easily and with the SaaS and Cloud foundation they already have in place they are well positioned to be a disruptor in the business intelligence arena.


Finally, ,if this feature becomes popular, it will make it a whole lot easier for people and agencies to use one another’s data that allows people to explore various data sets.In my opinion,most of the  data providers will make their data available through this technology to increase the use of data in the general discussion about the world.   Meanwhile, what do you think regarding on this issues?

Decision Support System

Disaster Management Issue


Before we go through on this topic, can you imagine..


What is the environmental and spatial impact of a chemical accident, a disastrous fire or flooding?

How to manage and control such disasters in terms of protecting people, evacuation of people and avoiding as much as possible environmental impacts?

How to be more and better prepared in case of accidents and disasters?


Recent incidents (Marly fire, dioxin crisis, Katrina) have demonstrated that bringing together relevant information within the shortest time possible and co-ordination of information flows are essential for any of the control measures or scenarios to be applied.

In terms of research demands, this topic depends heavily on input from ICT expertise and ICT techniques, both with respect to hardware issues (sensor integration) as with respect to software issues (client-server GIS systems, modeling web services), in order to keep track of rapidly changing situations. 

Therefore, the Decision Support Systems that are developed need to be fast and robust and should provide information to end-users in a user-friendly way.

How to remove Virus from USB Drives

First of all, it is important lesson for us to learn what is effect of some virus on our USB Drives. Without some knowledge about this, we might facing with trouble such USB Drives can't open folder or data cannot be view in appropriate way.

One of the ways by which a virus can infect our PC is through USB/Pen Drives. Common viruses such as ’Ravmon’ , ‘New Folder.exe’, ‘Orkut is banned’ etc are spreading through USB drives. Most anti virus programs are unable to detect them and even if they do, in most cases they are unable to delete the file, only quarantine it. 
Here are the things which we can do if want to remove such viruses from USB drives. Listen carefully dude!
1. Whenever you plug a USB drive in your system, a window will appear similar to the one shown below:

2. Don’t click on Ok , just choose ‘Cancel’. Open the Command Prompt by typing ‘cmd‘ in the run box. In the command prompt type the drive letter: and press enter . Now type dir /w/a and press enter.
3. This will display a list of the files in the pen drive. Check whether the following files are there or not:
  • Autorun.inf
  • Ravmon.exe
  • New Folder.exe
  • svchost.exe
  • Heap41a
  • or any other exe file which may be suspicious

3. If any of the above files are there, then probably the USB drive is infected. In command prompt type attrib -r -a -s -h *.* and press enter. This will remove the Read Only, Archive, System and hidden file attribute from all the files. Now just delete the files using the command del filename. example del Ravmon.exe. Delete all the files that are suspicious. To be on a safer side, just scan the USB drive with an anti virus program to check whether it is free of virus or not. Now remove the drive and plug it again. In most of the cases, the real culprit turns out to be the “Autorun.inf” file which mostly gets executed when someone clicks Ok in the dialog window which appears above. Thus the infections can spread.


Security Tip (Must read dude!)

Disable the Autoplay feature of USB drives. If disable the Autoplay feature of USB drives, then there are lesser chances of the virus spreading. A tool which can perform such a function is Tweak UI. Download it from website below install it.

Tweak UI info: 




Run the program. Now we can disable the Autoplay feature of the removable drives as shown above. By following the above steps, we can keep our USB drives clean. If there are any other methods which we use, then share it with me through comments.

That's all from me! Simple right? Hope that this info will help you to protect your USB Drive. 

See you on next issue dude!
