BitTorrent introduces new 'Bleep' decentralized online Instant Messenger for secure peer to peer communication

BitTorrent the most popular torrent client and the company that develops the  peer-to-peer protocol and two popular clients that use it, has announced the release of Bleep, an online communication (voice and text) application that lets users "make a direct, decentralized connection to someone they trust." 

Announcing the release of Bleep, Jaehee Lee, a senior product manager at BitTorrent, says that Bleep can freely be used by journalists that want to keep their sources anonymous, diplomats looking to keep their reports private, and businesses that need to keep their communications safe from industrial spies.

What makes Bleep different is that unlike traditional messaging services, where a chat app establishes a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) connection with a central server app, Bleep does the same with a distributed server app.

This means that there is no central central repository of metadata (storage of your conversations) as the decentralization disables any storing.   This also means that whatever you chat is just read and go. Another plus point for Bleep is that the person who wants to talk with someone must go search for them through nodes and this search is also not tracked from the server side.

"All links are encrypted .We are using secure encryption protocols such as curve25519, ed25519, salsa20, poly1305, and others. Links between nodes are encrypted. All communication is end to end encrypted," Fadaie says.

Bleep got its name from the fact that the company does not see the metadata or the contents of the exchanged messages. "As far as we’re concerned, anything you say is 'bleep' to us," noted Lee.

Bleep has been released in pre-alpha and is currently available only for Windows 7 and 8. Those who wish to test the app can sign-up here, but should be aware that there are surely glitches and bugs that have to be ironed out, or maybe you could be a bug tester yourself.

Could You Make Money With Affiliate Marketing? Think About It!

Many people are tempted to make a go of affiliate marketing and it isn’t hard to see why. This article discusses the potential offered by this opportunity and ponders whether you could make some real cash from it or not.

Affiliate marketing has led to many people making a good second income and some people ditching their jobs and enjoying a decent full-time income from it. Could you do the same?

It’s an intriguing question isn’t it? In order to answer it let us first consider what this type of marketing actually is. Affiliate marketing is a process whereby a business allows people to market its product through an affiliate scheme. As an affiliate it costs nothing for you to join the scheme and you get a unique affiliate link to use to send traffic through. Normally you will receive a variety of text ads and display ads that have your link encoded within them. You can then use these to promote the product on your website or your blog.

The good thing about this type of marketing is you have no overheads to worry about. You don’t have to create a product: you simply have to find a business that already has a product you think your audience will be interested in. In addition you don’t have to do anything other than display your choice of ads on your website. The more traffic you can drive to the site through your link the better, and for every purchase made you can expect to earn a commission. This will be agreed prior to you accepting the affiliate link. However it can be as high as 50% or even higher in some cases (although oftentimes it is lower than this; it depends on the business involved). 

So the key is to find an affiliate marketing program that works for you and your audience. Let’s say you have a blog that is all about wooden toys. If you find an affiliate marketing program that gives you a commission for every customer you generate who buys toys through your link, that’s ideal. Since the people reading your blog will be people who love wooden toys, you need to find a program that has something to do with this. It could be a toy supplier or even a book store that stocks books about wooden toys. The key is to ensure there is a link there and that it is a strong one.

While we hear stories from time to time about affiliates making millions of pounds or dollars doing this, it is far more likely you will earn less than that amount. Of course the sky is the limit and if you find a way to generate lots of traffic to your website and you have products your readers want to buy, you could soon develop a useful part- or full-time income.

However you should start slowly and build from there. Affiliate marketing is a learning curve but you will undoubtedly enjoy the experience of travelling that curve to learn more about the business. And it can be a business, make no mistake about that. There is no limit to the number of sites you could have or the amount of programs you could promote. You could achieve more than you may think.

Apple makes its new OS X Yosemite available for free download to first 1 million Mac owners

Apple today released the latest version of its OS X “Yosemite” computer software in beta form.   This is the new tenth version of OS X which will eventually replace “Mavericks.” The beta release is available for download for free on first come first served basis for first 1 million download.  Yosemite is a continuation of Apple’s redesign process of its software across computers and portable devices. 

This is the first time Apple is making the pre-release version available to the public. Earlier, it made the beta versions of both its iOS smartphone and tablet software and its OS X computer software have only been available only to developers for testing ahead of their general releases to the public.

To install the free software users will have to sign up using Apple’s site, as well as have a Mac computer with OS X Mavericks 10.9 installed with at least 2GB of memory and 8GB of free disk space.

Apple has also recommended that those users who want to test the new software do so on a second computer because it could be unstable and cause errors due to its beta form.  Users who do install the beta software will be able to upgrade to the final version of Yosemite on its release in the Autumn.

Apple has made big changes in Yosemite version.  It will bring a total new GUI to users making it much closer to the iOS version on the smart phones. Apple has also added features that tie the two devices together ie the iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch and the Mac.  This feature is known as “Continuity” and will  allows users to send files back and forth between the two.

Another feature Yosemite brings is that users of Apple’s iPhone will also be able to place and answer calls on their desktop computers.

Those who are interested in the free download or for beta testing can do so here.
