It’s been days I personally gave Icloud service a try. I mostly wanted to see it’s UI more than anything. I can say it has a lot of work on it’s ribs and well designed UI. I can’t recommend to anybody a service which has on it’s main page a message like this published:
Our service is currently experiencing extreme server load. For this reason you may experience icloud as being slow.
We are doing our best so solve the problem.
icloud Beta Team
I also couldn’t find a contact, support, or forum for Icloud.
Anybody wants to comment on this or his experience?
Below a screen shot of it’s main page:

If you like Linux, are a System Administrator this a very handy document to save on that PDA or USB Key in case it’s needed one day. From the article:
You forgot your root password. Nice work. Now you’ll just have to reinstall the entire machine. Sadly enough, I’ve seen more than a few people do this. But it’s surprisingly easy to get on the machine and change the password. This doesn’t work in all cases (like if you made a GRUB password and forgot that too), but here’s how you do it in a normal case with a Cent OS Linux example.

Finally you have found the solution to your Keyboard, Mouse, Bluetooth access denied. I’ll explain the simple steps need to fis this anoying problem which most of the time caused by installing Microsoft Windows Service Pack 3 (Don’t Install this Crap) or an Specific Windows Update. If somebody know the exact Update Number that causes this symptom please comment here.
This problem I believe can be manifested with either “Bluetooth Support Service” or “BlueSoleil Hid Service”. I have seen it only with “Bluetooth Support Service” and only on XP. Might be happening also to vista users, not sure of the usage of the “Bluetooth Support Service” or it’s interaction with the OS.
Screenshot of what to change in order to fix and repair for once the “Bluetooth Access Denied Problem” problem:

Event ID: 1030 , Event ID: 1058, Event ID: 15
Multiple article, solutions, work around have been written about the infamous windows error “Windows cannot query for the list of Group Policy objects. A message that describes the reason for this was previously logged by the policy engine.”
Let’s all be honest here now. None of them really work, the cause is uncertain and it’s really annoying the fact that the real solution people get to think is to disjoin the workstation or server from the domain and rejoin later; It will infact solve the problem.

The other day i was looking for a quick utility that could show me who where the most active network users in the lan by simply looking at network packets, hosts, and speed of these. I did not want to go through the hassle of monitoring through the router accounting, not that day.
I found this handy utility called “Active Wall Traffic Analyzer” ( http://en.lanctrl.com/ ) which gave me what i needed. It sits on the taskbar, doesnt take resources and you only need a connection to the switch hub to make it work, nothing more. I ran the tool on SINGLE mode.
