My primary use of iPhone is to read my company emails, personal email address and other emails through Exchange Server 2003/2007 active sync and IMAP (here's my previous post, setting up email in iPhone). The games, music, surfing NET, etc. are just add-on for this cool gadget mobile phone.
Whaddya know that iPhone 3G S is an excellent Network Admin Tools (geeks Swiss Army Tool)? . I can't go out without iPhone dealing with my business. I read and respond to all customers inquiry wherever I am and ofcourse I can make the necessary network administration tasks while I'm out of the office.
I will introduce you two remote management tools to manage your Windows and Linux Server. I personally and highly recommend that you buy these tools.
For Windows Server Remote Desktop tool, I am currently using WinAdmin released by Carter Harrison LLC. Using this tool, I can easily connect to my windows servers and perform the necessary server administrations. As of this date, it is currently on sale for only $7.99 to download.
Well if you're managing Linux servers. I recommend TouchTerm SSH released by Aji LLC. I am using this tool to manage my dedicated linux servers. Very easy to use SSH tool to connect to your linux server. The best of all it will only cost you $0.99 to download.
I know there are some advance tools available in Apple Apps Store, there are so many of them and I can't test them all. If you are using different Network Admin tools and would like to share with us, please don't hesitate to post your comments or send me email so I can post it here.
Enjoy reading.
UPDATE: I email the support @iphonewinadmin.com regarding WinAdmin security encryption, because of admin privileges concern. Here's the answer direct from Carter.
"Hi Emil,
Thanks for your email. WinAdmin uses 128 bit encryption on the RDP layer. This is also known as 'high security' in windows Server 2003 or 2008. This is a standard encryption protocol for RDP and is currently the highest level of encryption available for an iPhone RDP client. I appreciate your article on WinAdmin and if you have any other questions, I'm here to help.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Carter"

EuroDNS announced sunrise period for .CM today. The .CM is the country code top level domain (ccTLD) for the Republic of Cameroon. It is another domain name extension to use for your personal or business. Instead of having .com .net .org or .etc, you can also register randompage.cm domain name if you own the trademark rights for "randompage" starting June 15 'till July 14.
According to PR website "During the Sunrise phase, the minimum registration period is 2 years and applicants must hold a valid and issued trademark at the time of application. If there is more than one valid Sunrise application for the same domain name, the name will be awarded to the registrant with the oldest registered trademark. Each domain application costs 360 EUR with a non-refundable fee of 60 EUR, including a two years term." (2009, prweb.com)
On July 15th-31th Landrush period, all domain name applications will be subjected to a premium fee (260 EUR including 2 years term) and an auction system.
The live registration is on August 1st, 2009 where everyone can register a .CM domain name on a first come first serve basis. The minimum registration is 1 year and the price differ from registrar.
One of the sell pitch is "People often forget to type the "o" when looking for .com domain name, and having your domain name in .cm could secure a lot of traffic". (2009, prweb.com). This is the similar approach for selling .CO the country code top level domain (ccTLD) for Colombia. That's a good one but the business minded people forget to include the changes of technology. For example, some business network are now using openDNS network for web filtering security, where if you type www.randompage.co or www.randompage.cm the system will automatically redirect to www.randompage.com website. So my assumption, even you own .co or .cm domain name, the openDNS (any related web filtering tools) will consider this a typo of .com website. Making this extension useless for you.
I will not be surprise if Internet Service Provider is going to use OpenDNS web filtering tools as this service is free to use for personal or business. They can stop the fraud website on the DNS level before this going to the customer web page. And if you are not using this tool (OpenDNS), visit the website today and protect your network.

It's been a while since Rick is blogging this sale and he can't give us the name of the buyer. We thought the buyer is from a well known candy business but we all guess wrong. The new owner gave them a clear advantage in online Candy business. Congrats to the buyer and seller for Candy.com domain name.

Just like other webmasters or publishers, you want to put up your own Privacy Policy to inform your visitor when they browse to your website. For corporate business, they have a legal department to create one for them easy. What about if you are an entrepreneurs or a small business owner managing your ecommerce website?
"A good privacy notice is easy to find, easy to read, and comprehensively explains all your online information practices. It also provides online visitors an opportunity to make informed decisions about the collection and use of their information. As part of good business practices, posting a notice is an important first step in defining your online policies and towards answering one of the major concerns (and barriers) voiced by web-users when going online.
A privacy notice is also a promise. As a promise, it is not enough to simply post such a notice. To effectively promote trust and confidence in you and your website, the provisions of a privacy notice must also be fully implemented as part of a larger privacy policy. Careful consideration should therefore go into the creation of a notice so it accurately reflects your own unique information practices and you can guarantee a faithful adherence to its provisions."

"Local advertising across newspapers, direct mail, TV, radio, yellow pages, outdoor, magazines and online is expected to slip to $144.4 billion by 2013, down from $155 billion last year, says BIA.
Local ad revenue may hit a low of $135.8 billion in 2010, before climbing a bit in 2011, according to BIA (via Adweek).
Some media, including newspapers, local TV, radio, print yellow pages, and local regional magazines, will need to rethink their traditional business models and look to the internet to find new revenue streams in order to survive. Radio and TV internet revenue will climb to $1.9 billion in 2013, from $805 million last year, according to some estimates.
But other media, including outdoor and direct mail, may be in for a tougher challenge." (2009, Mediabuyerplanner.com)

Why .TV still not dominating the cyberspace? Do you know the answer to this question? Well if not, here's my humble opinion why.The .TV domain extension probably the best alternative if the .com .net .org .info or .biz are no longer available for your business. The .TV is the country code assigned to Tuvalu, the registry is currently managed by Verisign with Enom partnership to sell. This is the most common abbreviation in every language, from youngster to adult.
Why other businesses is not using .TV? For one is the price tag per year to maintain a generic domain name or referred as premium domain name. Let's use Texas.TV and Florida.TV, as of writing this article they are still available to register at a premium tag price, $50K and $25K per year respectively. If you're starting a small business, you will likely get a .com for a less than $10 per year maintenance (check price at NeedName.com) instead of .TV domain name. They (registry) continue to increase the price of premium domain name. I remember checking Florida.TV for only $7K in early May of 2007 and before that I was able to registered .TV between $35-$50 per year in 2005 under Verisign management. I still own Posses.TV domain name as of this year.
I've seen many .TV domain names that reprice to $3K, 5K or even $10K per year if not renew by the current owner. What's the business logic behind the reprice of domain name registration for .TV? You beat me, just like you I'm confused and can't justify the needs to reprice an expired domain name. From my own experience, I did not renew VD.TV and Belgium.TV last year so you will expect that these domains are re-registered by now. Wrong, they are still available for you to register if you have $10K to burn per year. I've seen 2 letter .TV also reprice from $1K to $5k or $10K per year. It must be working for Verisign (or Enom) with this approach but I saw many investors backing down in .TV, some reducing their portfolio and re-invest their money to other domain extension where the renewal is under $10 only.
Don't get me wrong, I like .TV extension because of it's global market appeal. But if Verisign (or Enom) will not change their "premium" pricing soon. This business will collapse before you know it.
Here are the successful media businesses that are using .TV domain name.
TNT.TV, ComcastSportsNet.TV, MTV.TV, Justin.TV and more websites added here.
Update: See the current trends of .TV growth compare to .biz .info .us and .cn extension, courtesy by Google Trends.
NIC Mexico Announces the re-opening of domain name registrations directly under .MX

I'm glad to know that NIC.MX is now offering the .MX domain name extension to the public. On May 1, if you own a .com.mx domain name you can apply for the .mx. They are giving you the high priority because you already owned .com.mx extension. This makes sense, to avoid any conflicting issue of your brand (domain name). For example, I owned MEDIA.COM.MX then I can apply to reserve MEDIA.MX domain name for one year. If multiple users manage the same domain name, the oldest will be able to receive the rights of .MX extension.
"As part of the efforts to fulfill the mission of placing the name of Mexico on the Internet, NIC Mexico has implemented important projects to make .MX domain names go far and beyond to reach more people. One of the most important was the launch of the Registry .MX, which represents a great improvement for the business model as it adopts international industry standards for the distributed domain name registration. In this model, customers register domain names through Registrars or RARs who act as domain name wholesalers, who in turn work with ccTLD managers also known as Registries. With these new tools, RARs around the world can offer services from .MX Registry to Internet users in many countries. " (2009, NIC.MX)

I was reading this article from TechCrunch that CFO Gideon Yu is leaving the company because Facebook are looking for a public company experience. That to me is a non-sense alibi. Read the quote I've got from Techcrunch."Facebook confirms that CFO Gideon Yu will be leaving the company. Gideon has played an important role in helping us achieve our financial success, building a strong finance team and establishing the core financial operations of our company. We are grateful to Gideon for his contributions to Facebook and what we are trying to accomplish. Despite the poor economic climate, we are pleased that our financial performance is strong and we are well positioned for the next stage of our growth. We have retained Spencer Stuart to lead our search for a new CFO and will be looking for someone with public company experience." (2009, Techcrunch.com)
