When Guitar veteran and music synthesis specialist Gibson brought its revolutionary media transfer/anti piracy licensing concept to the table, Ephlux and its partner delivered a tangible, bulletproof digital watermarking and media rights management solution!

Ever since its inception more than a century ago (1895), Gibson has always committed itself to providing nothing less than the best, when it comes to music. Their first electric guitar prototype in 1935, and its consequent release on May 20, 1936 (ES-150) marked a new era of innovation in the music industry.

Keeping their heritage of ‘leading the change’, Gibson intended to create a solution that would ensure media compliance and restrict media piracy to an extent that its effect on industry economics would become negligible. They also wanted to ensure that loyal consumers would not have to bear the brunt of this new concept, and that the sophisticated technology required to implement this cause would not have a negative effect on media productions in turn.

Instead of dictating a next to impossible media solution that would need half the US fiscal budget, Ephlux with its partner met the challenge with a revolutionary approach.

An ex-Microsoft employee set off minor pandemonium in the blogosphere with this proposition: What if Microsoft were to develop its very own Linux distro? “It’s an interesting thought, but a continent would have to split and form a new ocean before Microsoft gains insight enough to dominate a Linux universe,” said Slashdot blogger yagu.

Well, the Karmic Koala may have ruffled a few feathers last week, if that Register article was anything to go by, but already the scales seem to be tipping back toward the positive side.

To wit: TuxRadar recently put Vista, Windows 7, Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10 through their paces — focusing in particular on boot speeds — and the newborn marsupial proved itself to be a sprightly little thing.

Scores of comments met the review on TuxRadar; from there, it was picked up on Linux Pro Magazine and LXer, to name just a few.

“Finally an app that objectively logs boot times REAL boot times!” wrote viator on Lxer, for example. “And i see that Ubuntu booted almost twice as fast as win7 :P”

Healthy Eating Habits at your Workplace

These days, people are usually more concerned with career growth and tend to ignore the importance of maintaining a healthy diet at the workplace. Perhaps, life has become very hectic and has shifted everybody’s focus to concentrate more on career development because of increased competition in the job market, which barely gives them time to indulge in healthy activities.

Hygiene is also important. It is the responsibility of the management to provide their employees with a healthy work environment and create awareness about its importance among the different work units. This gives an opportunity to the employees to learn what is good for their health and what is not. It helps in reducing the possibilities of different diseases, stress, depression, obesity, absenteeism and acts as a source of positive energy as well.
