Can Computer Viruses Travel Through Satellite Internet?

Monday, March 21st, 2011

I read an article not long ago about the first computer virus ever created, and started wondering what the evolution of computer viruses  have been over the past few years.  I was also curious about at what point in time a computer virus was introduced through a high speed internet connection.  Being that I primarily work with satellite internet connections, I couldn’t help to ponder if there was some ingenious way to stop a detected vSatellite Internet Does Away With Computer Virusesirus from being transferred over the ‘internet waves’ on the side of the internet provider.  For example, could WildBlue detect every time a known virus file is trying to access the internet through their network and keep that file from being transferred or downloaded?  Well, I ran across some interesting information about the time line of computer viruses throughout the years, so enjoy!

WildBlue’s New Satellite Launch Is Getting Closer

Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010

Wild Blue Satellite Internet Launches SatelliteA while back ago most of you probably remember the article I published about WildBlue and ViaSat getting ready to launch a new satellite that would change the satellite internet world as we know it today.  Well, we are getting even closer to this becoming a reality; therefore we thought it might be appropriate to revisit the topic.  We are approximately 5 months away from ViaSat launching its first internet satellite after acquiring WildBlue.  What makes things even more interesting is that they are doing so with WildBlue’s co-founder Tom Moore back on board with the company.  Tom returned to the company shortly after the joint venture between the two companies was finalized.  He had left his CEO position previously after founding the company because of his inability to get along with shareholders.  Tom was unhappy with the rate of technological growth taking place within the company and decided it was best for him to resign.  However, ViaSat purchased WildBlue with the intent of pairing its experience in satellite innovations with WildBlue’s consumer infrastructure.  With these intentions Tom’s goals once again aligned with the company.

Are You Getting Four Square With High Speed Internet

High Speed Internet With The New Social Network, Four SquareHave you ever heard of Four Square?  If the answer is no don’t worry because I hadn’t either until just recently.  Apparently Four Square is a social network similar to Facebook only it is based on Geographical locations.  So you might be thinking “Give me a break not another social network” right?  Don’t say that before you find out a little more about it though.  If you are a local area business, especially a restaurant, this social network just might be worth checking out to you.  Before I get too deep I will warn you there is a catch.  To be able to use Four Square in a productive manner you are going to need a high speed internet connection.  So if you are in a rural area like me you are most likely going to need to invest in some satellite internet service.

Online Education With Fast Broadband Internet

Friday, November 12th, 2010

Getting An Online Education With Satellite Internet ServiceI was reading through some testimonials the other day when I came across an individual expressing his gratitude to WildBlue for enabling him to have access to his online classes.  Now, I know we have talked about online degrees before, but I felt compelled to bring it up again after reading this testimonial.  I can relate to people taking online classes and even getting online degrees as I have several friends getting their entire degree online, and I have even taken some online classes in the past.  I just thought about how difficult this would be without access to high-speed internet service.  I live in a rural area myself  and went to a fairly small high school, that actually required me to take one of my classes via correspondence because the class was not offered at the school.  This was back when dial-up internet was the only option.  I had to snail mail all of the class work to the teacher, and the course material was sent to me on a CD.  When I read that testimonial I kept thinking about how awful it would be to have to go back to that.

Microsoft Beta Testing With WildBlue

WildBlue Internet Testing

I have been beta testing for Microsoft since Windows 98 and it has been a very worthwhile endeavor. However, this is my first experience doing beta testing while being connected to WildBlue Satellite Internet. This added a whole new dimension to the testing process because I wanted to test the stability and compatibility of Microsoft’s beta releases.

I am very happy to report that the switch over was seamless. WildBlue performed at the same level of excellence as it does on my

current operating system. At first I was completely unaware that I was testing in a new environment due to having DSL in previous testing.

Dating On Satellite Internet

Friday, October 29th, 2010

I made a post a while back about internet dating, and thought it would be helpful to write a follow up article.  Many people I have talked to seem to have a negative connotation of internet dating or are hesitant to try it out.  If you’re anything like me, single and living in a rural area, chances are being alone is not what you had in mind for an ideal life.  Now don’t get me wrong i enjoy my  “me” time as much as the next person, but happiness seems much more real when it is shared with someone whose company you enjoy.  Now i know this might sound like old news , but what i’ve recently discovered is that it’s not just freaks and geeks who frequent these online dating services.  In fact , it’s mostly just your average Joe and Jane, if you will, who are either looking for a good time or just an old fashioned romance and i think those things are something that all of us who have not quite found Mr. or Ms. right just yet can agree that we would like to have in our lives.

Waking Up With High Speed Internet

WildBlue Internet Service Helps You Exercise HealthierDifferent than a few years ago, you now have the choice of how high strung you actually want to be each morning when you feel like you need a kick start to get you going.  You can go completely natural and just exercise your way to peak alertness each day, you can have a couple cups of coffee and listen to yourself ramble on about the news with co-workers, or you can do three peoples’ job while talking about the news, balancing your checkbook, and checking your Facebook account all at the same time….after you’ve had your 16 – 24oz energy drink. The question still remains about how safe these energy drinks are and what long term effects prolonged use will produce.

High Speed Internet Helps You Eat Healthy

WildBlue Service Can Help You Eat HealthierWe’ve heard a lot in the past few years about “Going Green”. The green initiative seems to have swept through our society, and rightly so. I have therefore found it fitting that we do a series of blog posts that focus on this green initiative. The things we can do for the welfare of our environment and our bank accounts through the use of green energy are limitless. There are countless sites on the Internet which are able to provide you with the necessary information to do these kinds of things.  Today, let’s take a look at what we can do for our health using the most natural of foods; 100% organically grown fruits and vegetables.  “Organically grown” means that these most wonderfully tasting and nutritious gifts of nature have not been exposed for the duration of their natural lives to any kind of unnatural pesticides and/or chemicals to enhance growth.  Now, not only does this make them more appealing to the ever-expanding health conscience public, but it also provides actual benefits to one’s heath compared to consuming store bought produce. You can learn about these benefits to your physical and mental well being by researching more about organically grown produce on the internet. If you live in an area where high speed internet isn’t available (everyone knows using dial-up is worse for your mental health than eating mass produced celery sticks) then check out WildBlue Satellite Internet.  They provide high speed internet to thousands of rural area farmers who produce these wonderful works of nature and can do the same for you.  Not only that, but having high speed internet service can help you network with local farmers to help you locate the best prices.  Through high speed internet you might be able to purchase produce from your next door neighbor, who you never knew was an organic farmer, and save money by not having to drive to the grocery store.
