Teleconferencing software, applications - what are we using on campus?

2013-05-13T14:42:05-04:00

We're using Nat Sci's Vidyo system. Aside from the fact that the word is pronounced the same as Video, we like it very well. It works well with our Polycom room systems (we have 4 of those, one of which is part of our library) and also works well on its own. One of the things that's important to us is the screen sharing. It works in both directions, but IIRC, you have to stop any Polycom sharing before the Vidyo sharing will come through. I don't think we've tried it with as many as 10 users, but we're expecting [...]

Recycling old cell phones

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. You'd be surprised at the large number of charities out there that will take used cell phones as a donation, so I appreciate your suggestions for specific charities to narrow the field. Considering the overall cost of a smart phone, even with a contract, I feel compelled to try to get some money back for a used phone before considering donating it. As a tax-exempt non-profit, I'm not sure what we can claim other than goodwill when we donate such items, but I will look into it. Again, thank you, and have a great [...]

If they're trying to say that this was caused by using the laptop on a poorly vented surface (bed, couch, cluttered surface, dog hair in the fan, etc.) that would have altered the airflow going into the machine, I could see their point I suppose. But given how hot laptops tend to run these days, I would not be at all surprised that the machine could have burned itself up if a fan quit for some reason.

Malicious Apache Filter Module

http://blog.unmaskparasites.com/2012/09/10/malicious-apache-module-injects-iframes/

Short version: There is a malicious Apache 2 filter module that injects IFrames to malicious sites on all virtual hosts on an affected server. This injection only occurs when the user's browser is running on Windows, the referer is from a collection of hosts (primarily search engines and cannot be blank), and the IP is not from a well known security research firm. Because of these conditions, this module is moderately difficult to track down. Even more scary, this thing can [...]

Yes this happens to people in our office as well when we IMAP to mail.msu.edu. Client ( Thunderbird, Outlook 2007/2010, Mac Outlook 2011, and/or iPad) doesn''t seem to matter. This weekend I noticed it was happening a lot. Repeatedly being asked to re-enter password. Super annoying.

I have sporadically experienced the "IMAP closed the connection" pop-up for perhaps a couple of months. Outlook 2010/IMAP.
