Google Voice: Flawed, Yet Awed People Allowing Call 6 Numbers At A Time

Google voice will convert your voice messages to have you read them through either text messages or emails and will also let you make and receive calls from multiple numbers simultaneously.

The newly launched Google Service, though is found to contain some flaws and rough patches continue to awe people with its services which are able to manage communication more efficiently. According to a recently published Google Blog, the service which is actually a re-launched service of GrandCentral will facilitate users to call at multiple numbers simultaneously and that too can be up to six numbers – indeed a dream come true voice based communication services.

That means, users are allowed to choose a local number that comes with the flexibility to dial at six different numbers at a time. It is not this flexibility of dialling several numbers that have raised much raves for Google Voice – but the numbers are able to route incoming calls coming from separate numbers as well. Moreover, Google Voice will be great tool to convert those messages that you prefer to read over listening – by converting your voice mails into either test messages or emails. Using the Grand Central Communications technology, the service, is temporarily accessible limited number of users, will be perfect solutions to many in near future. Conversion of voice messages into text or emails has some blemishes, but a good start though.

IT is Expanding & Simultaneously Flagging Its Significance

Information technology is a must for each sector. The recent contract received by General Dynamics for an amount of $20 million from the U.S Army shows that information technology is no more an abandoned subject. All the sectors in our present world need the support of IT’s robust innovations and programs. This particular project worth of $20 million will give IT services for assisting both Army and U.S marine warfighters. The handing over of this crucial project to General Dynamics indicates that IT is expanding and it is rigorously flagging its success and significance.

The senior vice president of General Dynamics Information Technology’s Army Solutions division, Zannie Smith stated that the warfighter would get weaker if it is not well armoured with sophisticated hardware and software applications. The US Army and Marines are the epitome of patronized security and power for combating against the global terrorism.

Through this project it looks forward to tighten its whole army fleet. The need of new technology cannot be redeemed as a trivial matter as it is known to most of us that it helps war fighters to deal with their enemies with might and strength. It is reported that this $20 million worth contract will be in the nest of General Dynamics Corp for a period of five years. Well it is a big challenge for General Dynamics to expose their creative skills for upgrading the defence potentiality of the US Army and Marines.

Identity Protection Measures to be taken by Tech Giants

Theft has no limited area, perhaps, it has taken hold of every sector in all over the world. For any company it is necessary that it takes up all the possible measures to ensure the protection of its valuable data of office as well as of its clients. We often hear about some people losing their social security numbers, credit card numbers and other valuable information by hackers. Even the companies which are into the field of IT products have become the victims of high-tech thieves. What is the most important asset for a company? Of course, it is none other than that of its homogonous information/data.

Being bitten hard by the piracy and stealing of precious information, many tech giants are tightening their belts to think out ways so that they can deal with Identity protection in a stringent way. Network World did an audit survey of a Boston based pharmaceutical company and later on it discovered that around 700 leak cases of crucial informative data which included like SSN, financial information, pricing etc. This journal also brought more than 4,000 cases into spotlights which were against to HIPAA and the US Department of Defense’s Information Assurance Certification rules.
