GalleryNext beta from Cyangenmod

A Roku device should be something you should try when using the next GalleryNext beta update that allows support of streaming pictures to it. The development was on hold since late January which was a few months ago. Nearly after two months, the software eventually received the update. We don't know why the development was on hold.
For this update, it has support for the followings:

• Better scrolling and load times
• Support for Delete and Undo on both local and cloud
• Chromecast and Roku support
• Better integration with image editors
• DeepZoom support
• Other updates
• Push the photos from the device running the app or the cloud service provider to the TV connected to Chromecast or Roku

And of course, the Photowall experiment from Google is obviously more interesting than this in general but for the sake of security, you may want to try out this upcoming product on Cyangenmod and you should have the Roku device. I don't know much about Roku devices compared to Chromecast which is the Android TV device.

Apple with Comcast

NO, DO NOT APPLY ANY SUBSCRIPTION TO COMCAST after the death of Net Neutrality in the US! You should be better off with other ISPs if you want to use Apple TV with it. Not to mention that Comcast had recently merged with Time Warner Cable which is currently awaiting approval and that we must stop that from happening. This is an absolute bullshit collaboration compared to what Microsoft was planning with Xbox TV service for Xbox One! Is Apple lying about protecting their customers from the spying agencies or something?
Perhaps you may be better off with the other standard Set-Top Boxes and other ISPs to play fucking safe!

Beatmania IIDX Gameplay Report - March 23

Yesterday, I unlocked and cleared Close The World and today, I did the same to Ancient Scapes. Both of these songs were parts of SPADA Leggendaria and at Level 10 Hyper which are more difficult in the first place so I Easy-Cleared them with Auto Scratch On until I can figure more things out with the controls. I may be more used to the controls than before provided that the turntable quality is good enough.
Also, I had Normal-Cleared a bunch of songs this time from Level 9 and below which might have fulfilled the other players' questions when I told the Facebook Group regarding the skill improvement the last time. However, the real bastard was that I couldn't clear V in Hyper in the actual IIDX game.

Warrantless search through Hotmail

OK, I might have stopped using my Microsoft account for the blogs but this leakage, Alex Kibkalo, is like the garbage in knowing the security and privacy that he leaked the fuck out of Windows 8 codes. It is truly unreasonable and unforgivable when Microsoft did not go against the customers with their Windows 8 product in terms of privacy thingy. Sure, the Kinect 2.0 device will not be used against privacy as Microsoft swore because they're already pledging to protect their customers by encrypting their services.
It might be wrong to leak out the products that were still in development but Alex had the guts to verify with Microsoft using the same account owned by the company to see if things were genuine before he leaked the fuck out of them.
Keygen is something Microsoft feared as it might be expensive to patch that it could result in millions in lost revenue.
Sure, Microsoft had looked through the accounts in Hotmail service to find the source of the leaks but it was wrong to start the investigation like that technically without the warrant.
Next was that Alex Kibkalo was recently working in another company but they didn't know about the damages done to Microsoft until he was then suspended from his current job. Not only were the Windows 8 codes leaked but also the Microsoft Activation Server SDK which would open doors to piracy. Speaking of that company he was working at, it is about selling virtualization products based on Hyper-V. Of course, the pre-release leaks are like everywhere and Microsoft is trying to take down sites that contain those leaks.
You know, I had already blogged about the Windows 8 stuffs back then based on the articles from Building Windows 8 website, but I guess that this is obviously too late to undo the damages done to Microsoft.

Beatmania IIDX and Sound Voltex Gameplay Report - March 22

This time is the major progress and skill improvement update from me regarding Beatmania IIDX and Sound Voltex. First of all, TAG's birthday is coming soon next week so I played his songs according to what was said from the birthday event page. Re:GENERATION is one of the Weekly Songs you can get the Tran Medal like I already attempted. In addition, I'm getting more used to the controls even for the machine on the right with the LCD monitor. Perhaps, they might have repaired the turntable mechanism or something or maybe it was my playing that was really terrible back then. Also, I'm in 2nd Dan in Beatmania IIDX although the first song, Monkey Dance, is the pain in the ass and the other songs in the set have four white notes along with the turntable note scrolling in the same line simultaneously that I might have some problems figuring out.
Now, for Sound Voltex, it is still difficult to clear Level 12 songs or something but when browsing through the Skill Analyzer sets round by round, I figured that I could try Level 4 Set from Round 8 and eventually I cleared it. The second song was kind of confusing though although it was at Level 11 Advanced difficulty from that set.
Lastly, there was some announcement from Konami that Super Star Mitsuru is back so we're going to wait if there will be more songs from him or not.

IPv6 Essentials Webinar in March 21

This one's a different webinar but with the same topic. It had some demos about how the IPv6 information is shown in the command prompt. Not to mention the useful cheat sheet we obtained from the webinar so that you can use it to set up your network with IPv6 addresses. From the cheat sheet, there may be multiple classes and different kinds of IPv6 addresses as well as the fact that the address is divided into two parts. In addition, some parts of the MAC address are middle parts of the IPv6 address. And that gives you the EUI-64 Interface ID. There are also other types of Interface IDs for whatever kinds of IPv6 network setup you want such as the Stateful or Stateless DHCPv6 setup for example.
However, there's something I may be interested to know about having IPv6 address Interface ID with some privacy features such as RFC 4941. Also, what the webinar mentioned as well was the cloning. Just like Sysprep or whatever to remove duplicate information for cloning images or whatever in case you need to use the same image on many computers as part of the deployment process, the DUID thingy should be removed if you want to clone the Windows client by manual removal in Registry Editor.
Lastly, there are useful resources from the Book List in which I still have yet to access them but then, the webinars and workshops are more of the educational events from Gogotraining and I don't know if there will be online courses to study at that website similar to what Microsoft Virtual Academy has.

Stolen emails reveal amount of money Microsoft gets from government requests

You know, I may be sick of cyber-intrusion groups like Syrian Electronic Army for instance as they might be the pain in your asses but now, it seems that the emails they stole from Microsoft were about the amount of money the company gets from government requests. Last time, we thought that it might be the stupid way for that group to take such kinds of intrusive actions at Microsoft for the on-going spying thingy when the company actually planned to encrypt their services in the future as we already know of.
Well, if you support those cyber-intrusion groups like SEA, for example, it may be a shame on you like what if you get attacked by them over your rudeness for example. Not to mention the bad things they had already done the last time such as the Playstation Network being cyber-intruded with the customer information being stolen the last time. Nobody knows the actual reason for such kind of actions.
