But there’s a world of other things you can do with these handy pocket-size drives. Here are some ways you can use that USB flash drive to do more than just move data. 1: Run portable applications In addition to storing your data, you can run portable applications from a USB flash drive.

In another step onto Google's turf, Microsoft launched Office 365, a Web-based version of Office and e-mail rolled into a monthly service for less than the cost of a Netflix subscription. The new Office 365 is the answer to Google Apps, a Web version of word processing and spreadsheets that Google offers to businesses for $50 per year. Microsoft's new basic service will cost $72 a year. Microsoft said people can start signing up for a free test version, and the service will start selling next year. "Customers will get the best of everything we know about productivity 365 days a year," said Kurt DelBene, the new president of Microsoft's Business division, at a Tuesday news conference in San Francisco.

Cybercriminals in India are increasingly looking at creating botnets, network of computers aimed at attacking and 'capturing' PCs to spread viruses through them to other systems, according to Microsoft report. India ranks 25th in terms of bot infections detected and removed in the quarter ended June 2010, according to the Microsoft Security Intelligence Report version 9. The report covered 200 countries and territories.   The country had 38,954 computers with bots cleaned in Q2 this year compared to 37,895 computers in the previous quarter. A Botnet is a network of computers, controlled by one computer (bot herder), which attacks another PC and makes it a part of its network. The main drivers for botnets are for recognition and financial gains. The larger the botnet, the more recognition the herder can claim to have among the cybercriminal community.
