    You'll find Jim in the same place every week, failing to organise a bunch of lads into something resembling a team while on the far side of the park his opposite number, a wannabe Mourinho in brashly monogrammed tracksuit, struts the sidelines, shouting - always shouting. This is the hilarious story of Jim White's time as manager of his son's football team: the highs, the lows, and the dog turd in the centre circle. At this level, winning spirit is not so much about passion, pride and belief as praying that your star centre forward has remembered his boots. Most importantly, it's about the enduring relationship between fathers, sons and football. This is the story no one who has ever watched his or her child play sport will want to miss.

     Him… Elijah Johnson. As in the uber-wealthy owner of the agency. My boss. In my defense, I didn’t know who he was when I clumsily bumped into him. Um.…can you say instant attraction? His hotness practically exploding underneath the expensive suit. I’m just his employee. Not his girlfriend. Besides, I am forced to work with him if I want that promotion. Working with him is getting harder by the day though. He’s charming, powerful. But he’s no Mr. Perfect. He’s got skeletons in his closet. Our project is ending. It’s the perfect time to walk away. But why do I feel this burning desire to stick around. Can I trust my heart or will this flawed man break it?

    What makes an operating system modern? According to author Andrew Tanenbaum, it is the awareness of high-demand computer applications--primarily in the areas of multimedia, parallel and distributed computing, and security. The development of faster and more advanced hardware has driven progress in software, including enhancements to the operating system. It is one thing to run an old operating system on current hardware, and another to effectively leverage current hardware to best serve modern software applications. If you don't believe it, install Windows 3.0 on a modern PC and try surfing the Internet or burning a CD. Readers familiar with Tanenbaum's previous text, Operating Systems, know the author is a great proponent of simple design and hands-on experimentation. His earlier book came bundled with the source code for an operating system called Minux, a simple variant of Unix and the platform used by Linus Torvalds to develop Linux. Although this book does not come with any source code, he illustrates many of his points with code fragments (C, usually with Unix system calls). The first half of Modern Operating Systems focuses on traditional operating systems concepts: processes, deadlocks, memory management, I/O, and file systems. There is nothing groundbreaking in these early chapters, but all topics are well covered, each including sections on current research and a set of student problems. It is enlightening to read Tanenbaum's explanations of the design decisions made by past operating systems gurus, including his view that additional research on the problem of deadlocks is impractical except for "keeping otherwise unemployed graph theorists off the streets." It is the second half of the book that differentiates itself from older operating systems texts. Here, each chapter describes an element of what constitutes a modern operating system--awareness of multimedia applications, multiple processors, computer networks, and a high level of security. The chapter on multimedia functionality focuses on such features as handling massive files and providing video-on-demand. Included in the discussion on multiprocessor platforms are clustered computers and distributed computing. Finally, the importance of security is discussed--a lively enumeration of the scores of ways operating systems can be vulnerable to attack, from password security to computer viruses and Internet worms. Included at the end of the book are case studies of two popular operating systems: Unix/Linux and Windows 2000. There is a bias toward the Unix/Linux approach, not surprising given the author's experience and academic bent, but this bias does not detract from Tanenbaum's analysis. Both operating systems are dissected, describing how each implements processes, file systems, memory management, and other operating system fundamentals. Tanenbaum's mantra is simple, accessible operating system design. Given that modern operating systems have extensive features, he is forced to reconcile physical size with simplicity. Toward this end, he makes frequent references to the Frederick Brooks classic The Mythical Man-Month for wisdom on managing large, complex software development projects. He finds both Windows 2000 and Unix/Linux guilty of being too complicated--with a particular skewering of Windows 2000 and its "mammoth Win32 API." A primary culprit is the attempt to make operating systems more "user-friendly," which Tanenbaum views as an excuse for bloated code. The solution is to have smart people, the smallest possible team, and well-defined interactions between various operating systems components. Future operating system design will benefit if the advice in this book is taken to heart. --Pete Ostenson

    The language and tasks discussed in my former books are very complex. He asked me to write something basic that everyone can understand. So, I thought to write about Hacking with a Smartphones, a readily available tool to everyone in this 21st Century. Even a rickshaw driver today who earns hundred rupees a day owns a Smartphone. Understandably, none of us want our data to be hacked by a rickshaw driver, but the tricks and methods in this book have been explained so easily that even they can clench it. With the craze of e-shopping and net banking increasing the rate of cyber crime is increasing too. This book will tell you simple countermeasures about smart phones and digital security, they are simple but dangerous. Note: Don't expect big hacking techniques through this book, it may disappoint you. #hackinstagram #spyandroidmobile #whatsapphacking #iPhoneHacking

     When I started my new job as the social media manager for Alchemy Enterprises, I had no idea who my sexy rich “American” management consultant was. There was something strange about the way he spoke. I felt drawn to him but thought he was hiding something. He is supposed to be American but he had an foreign accent. Something was off and I had to find out what it was. Even when I found out who he was I knew he was off limits but I couldn’t resist. Those eyes… that smile… I knew it was wrong, but it felt so right. . I knew I should stop…but could I?
