JSP is here!

2008-05-15T07:36:00.000-07:00

For the past few weeks we have been studying a new way of improvising the web. From HTML, database, HTML effects, to JSP. JSP is like combining them all. After designing your website and implemented the functions,you can create a project with a database. It is very useful in Shopping Carts because it holds information of the buyer and the items which are sold online. It is also good in commercializing items in the internet.
The important aspects of JSP is the editor which is the eclipse, MS Access for the database and Apache Tomcat for the server. Sometimes, eclipse runs very bad because you need to debug it a lot. Sometimes the project runs in HTML however, not in eclipse. The server sometimes cannot be accessed so you need to check it so that your programming will always be smooth sailing. There are also new tags to used in JSP but some of them are quite familiar from HTML and JAVA.
All in all, JSP is the most useful technique for developing the web. We are quite quite familiar with HTML and Java, that is why it is easy to adopt to JSP. There is also a need to be good in debugging the codes so that you can be sure that it runs and of course work.

Annoying Commercial

2008-05-07T22:06:00.000-07:00

Television Commercials are the best way to advertise a product. It gives a brief introduction about a certain product basically to sell it. The product must be delivered clearly to the audience. Majority of the products use very catchy commercials. They portray funny scenes that captivate our eyes and ears. If the commercial succeeds to captivate us, then we get interested in that product they are selling. Their market would boost because of that commercial which helps them to make their product widely known.
On the other hand, commercials sometimes annoy me. Especially the commercials I consider useless. I just saw a commercial of “MX3” product. I think it is a vitamin for elderly persons made out of natural herbs and other natural plants. The main clip about “MX3” where a narrator says stuff about their product lasts for about 10 seconds however they repeat it constantly for 30 seconds which really is annoying for me or maybe for other people out there having a nice and peaceful dinner or brunch.
Commercials like this destroy a solemn time at home. Imagine a night watching your favorite soap opera thrilled with the story’s suspense or deeply touched by its storyline when out of it solemnity comes a very annoying commercial that constantly repeats a products name and information. It really is awful to see these commercials because if I was capable of buying it, I really wouldn’t consider it as a choice of product.

Unsold items in the internet

2008-05-01T22:35:00.000-07:00

Most unsold items in internet auction are items that people consider to have no value at all. They may see it as junk and think that that product is useless or it's not worthy to be purchased. These items are mostly old T.V. sets, old model cellphones, and other old stuffs. Some items are also overpriced because people consider it absurd to buy overpriced items. It is also risky to buy things online especially when that item has a high price. People really need to make sure where that big

amount of money goes so that they wont loose it.

Movie Review: The Forbidden Kingdom

2008-04-28T02:20:00.000-07:00

The Forbidden Kingdom movie was really cool! It was a Kung Foo packed movie starring the two leading actors widely known for their martial arts skills in action films Jackie Chan and Jet Li. One of the leading character was a young actor from Sky High(a Disney Channel Movie) and the other girl was an Asian chick that I have seen first only in that film.

The story's setting was in our present time but the real adventure takes us back to the old Chinese dynasty where Emperors and harass rulers governed the kingdom. It was really funny because Jackie Chan's first role was an old man who sells Vcds. With that role, I could hardly understand any word his saying because of the old voice added up with his Chinese accent that really gives him a hard time pronouncing English. Jet Li's first role was very intriguing being the "Monkey King". His martial arts skill really kicked ass when he battled hundreds of men up somewhere in the Kingdom of Heaven where they floated in the air and clouds. The Monkey King was really powerful. Not even the strongest Captain of that Kingdom defeated him. However, in his duel with the Monkey King, he deceived Monkey King to lower his greatest weapon, the Golden Staff that he threw out the kingdom to secure it while he was turned into a rock. The story started when the Golden Staff lead the boy to the Kingdom where he met a Drunken Master(Jackie Chan) and the Asian Chick.

The funniest scenes followed up then. When Jackie and Jet met up during their battle for the Golden Staff. The martial arts battle was mixed with Jackie’s comedy antics considering he is a drunken master. They soon found out that the boy was the long awaited prophecy who would return the Golden Staff to the Monkey King that would lead to prosperity in the Kingdom. Jackie and Jet's conversation was nearly understood by me. I could hardly identify the English words they are using because their accent made them pronounce English in the worst case possible. Especially when only the two of them conversed.

The Asian chick warrior because of her intentions of killing the evil Captain also intimidated me. It was also the reason why she learned Kung Foo and float on air. Her rival was also an Asian chick with a really long white hair but if I were to pick between the two of them I would pick the good Asian chick not the bad with white hair.

In the climax, all of them were battling inside the emperor's lounge. Of course, there was also a twist. It was when a poisonous arrow shot by the white haired Asian chick hit Jackie. It led to an early battle between all good and evil with the main items up for grabs are the "Elixir of Life" for reviving the drunk dead Jackie and the "Golden Staff" held by the boy. There were also some little kid Shaolins who also joined the war, luckily there were no scenes showing them die or get hurt. In the end of all the Kung Foo, Tiger Claw, Spinning Kick, Silent Monkey and Snake Eye moves, the prophecy has finally been fulfilled when the boy successfully freed the Monkey King and killed the evil Captain with a little hair pin from the Asian girl who unluckily died from a powerful magic blast.

After learning all the Kung Foo Jet Li and Jackie Chan had to teach to the boy, he then returned to the present time where he kicked the asses of the evil goons who tried to steal from poor old grandpa Jackie(the old man). The lucky boy even impressed the reincarnated Asian chick with his Kung Foo moves when they met near old grandpa Jackie’s shop. Then that was it, the end of the coolest movie I’ve seen yet.

E-commerce Security Issues

2008-04-16T22:18:00.000-07:00

Some of the more common threats that hackers pose to e-commerce systems include:
-carrying out denial-of-service (DoS) attacks that stop access to authorised users of a website, so that the site is forced to offer a reduced level of service or, in some cases, ceases operation completely
-gaining access to sensitive data such as price lists, catalogues and valuable intellectual property, and altering, destroying or copying it
-altering your website, thereby damaging your image or directing your customers to another site
-gaining access to financial information about your business or your customers, with a view to perpetrating fraud
-using viruses to corrupt your business data

What are the threats?
-Threats to e-commerce systems can be either malicious or accidental. The procedures and controls you put in place to protect your site should help minimise both.
-Malicious threats could include:
-hackers attempting to penetrate a system to read or alter sensitive data
-burglars stealing a server or laptop that has unprotected sensitive data on its disk
-impostors posing as legitimate users and even creating a website similar to yours
-authorised users downloading a web page or receiving an email with hidden active content that attacks your systems or sends sensitive information to unauthorised people

When entering an E-commerce business, you must consider certain threats that may destroy your online business and loose your source of income. One of the issues of E-commerce is privacy. It is very important to secure your data because you are exchanging data from different sources. Thus companies can exchange information from legacy systems as well as new systems and communicate that information to other entities using the Internet. The result is highly efficient transaction processing that affects all layers of a company's activities, and which is changing the way that business is conducted. Every time you exchange information to different companies it is very important to keep them secured so that the message could reach safely.
