By the time we are facing different kinds of threats and other vulnerabilities to WiMAX Technology like the earlier version of wireless networking for example; Wi-Fi. WiMAX is also facing these threats, but we need to make it more secure and protect it from being failed before its deployment. Till today we are still not finding the WiMAX everywhere but we are still waiting for its success and deployment. In some areas of the world WiMAX is deployed and still undergoing to its maturity period and facing threats and vulnerabilities. As I have studied that the WiMAX is facing Denial of Service attacks, jamming of the network, management message modification as well as the data modification communication attacks.

According to the research some of the solutions and enhancements are under consideration for security of WiMAX technology but there is a need for further research in this domain because of the immaturity of the WiMAX itself. Some experts claiming that the WiMAX technology cannot get a chance to gain the target market, but on the other hand people are still expecting more out of it. According to my research and studies about the WiMAX, there are some possible solutions and enhancements that can make it more secure but not completely free of threat and other vulnerabilities.

Integration of WiMAX with other new technologies can make it more robust, reliable and secure like IMT-Advanced but we have to wait until at least 2010. Some other future technologies are also expected that might offer WiMAX a better environment and system integration to work better then any other technology in the market. More on Free WiMAX Info

Windows Versus Mac OSX

What is better for who and why is that? Find out right here!

Source

Both Apple and Microsoft are commercial companies. Though, Mac OSX is based on the Mach kernel, and that is based on the BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) kernel. This means that Apple has some open source influences, since BSD is pretty close to open source.

Goals

Apple’s goal is to provide a simple, functional and good-looking operating system. They have succeeded already, but they are still developing new applications and systems to go with their operating system. They will continue, just like Microsoft, to release operating systems in the future.

Problems?

Mac OSX has a few problems, of which a few are resolved in Snow Leopard (the newest, unreleased operating system from Apple). Users have problems going from Windows to OSX. This is because a lot of things simply aren’t compatible. Apple is working on support for common Windows files to resolve that issue. Also, OSX doesn’t support as much hardware as Windows does. OSX also seems to be behind when it comes to application development.

Conclusion

OSX is the preferred operating system when it comes to graphics design, web design and everything else related to media development. OSX is efficient, fast, and powerful and therefore allows users to use their Mac to the fullest extent.

A lot of media related companies, for example news papers, web design companies, advertising companies, etc, all use Macs. Macs are also suitable for simple home use, from text editing to browsing the internet, from playing a game to developing one. On a Mac, everything is possible.
