Live Stream from International Space Station

NASA has teamed up with High Schools United with NASA to Create Hardware (HUNCH) on one of the coolest missions with broad appeal to the general public.  The High Definition Earth Viewing (HDEV) experiment allows everyone to view our home from space in real time!

Astronauts mounted four high-definition cameras outside of the space station.  The experiment allows scientists to see how the equipment stands up to the exposure to radiation in space.  The real goal is not to entertain, but to develop hardware for space exploration.

Giving the rest of us a view from space, though, adds tremendous value to the experiment.  The views are incredible and will inspire us all to dream of what we can do with technology and space exploration.  NASA needs more fans and supporters.  This kind of experiment fosters a fan base just like watching the Apollo astronauts walking and driving on the moon.

If the above live feed is down (really the ISS is on the dark side of the planet), you can watch these “Best of” videos.

Guidance for Internet Explorer vulnerability – Security Tips & Talk – Site Home – MSDN Blogs

Microsoft released a patch for the Internet Explorer vulnerability.  It came out this morning at 10:00 and will be available through Automatic Update for Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.

The Security Tips and Talk Blog provides informaiton on internet security, which helps protect your computer from computer viruses and other malicious software by assisting in spyware removal and finding antivirus software.

ALERT: Stop Using Internet Explorer

Internet ExplorerBased upon information provided by Microsoft and the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team, Digital Age Solution, LLC recommends all of our customers stop using Internet Explorer until Microsoft issues a patch.  At the very least, disable the Flash plug-in within Internet Explorer. Hackers have immediately begun to exploit a vulnerability in Internet Explorer that can hijack your systems.  This vulnerability is present in all versions of the browser.

As Microsoft stopped issuing patches for Windows XP earlier this month, we recommend that anyone using Windows XP switch to another browser immediately and permanently.

Our technicians highly recommend Google Chrome as a web browser.  It is fast and flexible.

Be aware that all browsers have vulnerabilities and can be hijacked.  Use caution when opening any attachments or links.  Be sure you have the latest security updates and Internet Security software.

As always, we are available to support you through this.  Our technicians can remote into your system, visit your location, or work on your system at our tech bench in the store.
