MokaFive has released version 2 of their MokaFive suite. The MokaFive suite is designed as a Desktop-as-a-Service (DAAS) platform for small to medium enterprises. MokaFive provides fully contained virtual machines called LivePC’s. These virtual machines are cached and run locally.
I have talked about MokaFive previously as well.
The features that MokaFive provide are:
Bloggers have enjoyed a reasonable amount of protection from the rigors of traditional media publishers in the past. This has been changing over the last two or so years. There have been cases where a blogger was charged with running an illegal newspaper, while others have got into trouble with the local law for publishing articles that spoke against the local regimes.
Another big one happened this week. A court in England determined that a blogger was not entitled to his anominity. The person in question was a police officer who ran a popular anonymous blog. Eventually a journalist figured out who it was.
Google has bowed to demands by the German Government over privacy demands for its Street View product which is about to launch.
Under the agreement people can apply to have their faces, car number plates and any other identifying features wiped from the raw data captured by Google. Although it does also note that as the data is stored in the United States that it will be very difficult to actually verify that the data has been wiped.
The latest iteration of the XenApp Application Streaming Profiler has been released. The latest version deals with a couple of issues from the previous version 1.2 release.
From the Streaming Profiler point of view the only real change is adding support for VS 2008.
The Streaming Client has also been renamed to Citrix offline app plug-in. So I don’t know if I think this is a good name. I personally throught the previous name was more than adequate.
