Bon Jovi Uses CrowdStar’s Facebook Games To Sell Digital Music

-
Bon Jovi is getting into social gaming today by distributing the band’s digital music through games on Facebook. The band is partnering withCrowdStar to bundle its digital album, virtual goods and virtual currency together on the gaming platform’s social games—Happy Aquarium, Happy Island and It Girl.
So as users play the games, players will be given the opportunity to purchase the Bon Jovi Greatest Hits Bundle which includes a digital download of Bon Jovi’s Greatest Hits, Facebook Credits, as well as branded Bon Jovi virtual goods that enable special benefits within the games, and a coupon code for the Bon Jovi online store.
The idea of downloading premium music while buying virtual currency is a compelling. It’s definitely a unique distribution strategy for musical artists to start bundling virtual goods, currency and downloads into one package. While it’s unclear how much money Bon Jovi will really be seeing, but the campaign is sure to draw eyeballs, which may be the primary reason for the partnership (the deal was conceived by interactive agency Sparkart). CrowdStar’s games have more than 50 million monthly active players, and are competing with the likes of Playfish, Playdom and Zynga.
We could be seeing more artists flock to social gaming as a marketing platform in the New Year.

Automatic Generation of Charge Account in Requisition Import

-
Requisition Import process is used to import requisitions from other Oracle or third-party non-Oracle systems. Before R12.2.2,  while importing requisitions from Oracle or third-party non-Oracle systems, if users do not provide charge account segment or CCID for other accounts in the Requisitions Interface table (PO_REQUISITIONS_INTERFACE), then these requisitions are not imported. The interface expects the accounts (charge, budget, variance, and accrual) as mandatory fields and does not process requisitions unless the charge account is populated. With this new feature, when requisitions are imported using the Requisition Import Process, the Charge, Budget, Variance and Accrual accounts for the requisitions are generated automatically by calling the Requisition Account Generator Workflow. Automatic generation of the charge account CCID happens only if the charge account and corresponding segments are empty. You can check following document to get more information. ...

WikiLeaks’in Dağıttığı Şifreli Dosyalar Hakkında Bir Yazı..

WikiLeaks & AES 256 Bu konuda bir yazı da ben yazmış olayım! Biliyorsunuz, Julian Assange, ABD ve başka birkaç ülke hükümetine hitaben, “eğer beni tutuklar veya Wikileaks operasyonunu engellemeye çalışırsanız, insurance.aes256 isimli dosyanın şifreleme anahtarını bıraktığım arkadaşlarım bu anahtarı yayınlayacaklar ve sizi çok daha fazla mutsuz edecek birtakım dosyalar ortaya çıkacak”, diye bir bildiri yayınlamıştı. Bir anlamda bu WikiLeaks’in devamlılık sigortası anlamında isimlendirilmiş olan bu şifreli dosya şimdi birçok sunucuda duruyor. Dosya, Julian Assange’nin dediği gibi, şifreyle kapatılmış bir dosya. İçeriğini öğrenmek için, anahtar yardımıyla şifreyi açmak (decrypt) etmek gerekiyor. Anahtarı bilince, açmak için saniyeler yeterli. Veya, becerebiliyorsanız, anahtarı siz bulmaya çalışırsınız! Yani, şifreyi kırarsınız. Olayın siyasi, sosyal, veya kültürel yanlarını bir kenara bırakıp, kriptolojik yanından bahsedeyim. Dosyanın ismi, şifreleme algoritmasının AES 256 olduğunu im...
