MEMS

Short for micro-electromechanical systems, the name for a micro fabrication technology used in making systems-on-a-chip that embeds mechanical devices such as fluid sensors, mirrors, actuators, pressure and temperature sensors, vibration sensors. MEMS combine many disciplines, including physics,biochemistry, electrical engineering, optics and electronics.
Typical MEMS devices combine sensing, processing and/or actuating functions to alter the way that the physical world is perceived and controlled. They typically combine two or more electrical, mechanical, biological, magnetic, optical or chemical properties on a single microchip.

THE DIFFERENCE BERTWEEN GOOD AND GREAT IS A LITTLE EXTRA EFFORT.

FROM FORTUNE TO MISFORTUNE IS A SHORT STEP;

FROM MISFORTUNE TO FORTUNE IS A LONG WAY.

bluebugging

Bluebugging allows skilled individuals to access the mobile phone commands using Bluetooth wireless technology without notifying or alerting the phone’s user. This vulnerability allows the hacker to initiate phone calls, send and read SMS, read and write phonebook contacts, eavesdrop on phone conversations, and connect to the Internet. As with all the attacks, the hacker must be within a 10 meter range of the phone. This is a separate vulnerability from bluesnarfing and does not affect all of the same phones as bluesnarfing

OPERATING SYSTEM

OS stands for Operating System.  The operating system is the program which runs a computer. The operating system takes care of managing files and folders(such as renaming, moving, copying, and deleting files). It also provides you the ability to start the other software you have on your computer.  In addition, any modern operating system usually provides many APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) that make it easy to write advanced programs without reinventing the wheel.  For example, any modern graphical operating system will include the ability for a program to create a button. Operating Systems also usually include many programs, such as a text editor, that are almost essential to have on every computer. Windows 98 Operating Systems also usually include many programs, such as a text editor, that are almost essential to have on every computer.
